Have you ever wondered why your online profile does not get many responses? The answer to this question could be that you profile is boring. How many times have you skipped over profiles because they seemed so plain and blah?
That could be the same reason perspective mates are skipping over yours. Also, think of all the profiles you have stopped to read. Even if that person was not the one for you, you still took a moment to read their profile for a reason.
Was it their profile picture that stood out? Was it the fact that they had an unforgettable tag line? Whatever the reason may be, the point is that something caught your attention and kept you reading. Hopefully these tips will help keep that special someone reading your profile too.
One way to make people stop and read your profile is to have a great picture of yourself. Make sure it’s clear and not blurred. Be sure it’s as current as humanly possible. You don’t want to post a picture of what you looked like 10 years ago and 30 pounds lighter.
That would be false advertising. If you can find or take a picture of yourself doing something that you enjoy would be a good idea as well. Sometimes the standard say cheese pictures can tend to be quite mind-numbing and dull. If you like to fish, swim or dance a nice action shot will be appealing and most likely remembered. Also, updating your profile picture from time to time will keep things fresh and interesting as well.
If you are looking for a goofy guy/gal then post a silly picture of yourself. Be it a picture of you in a Halloween costume dressed as a baby in a diaper or just making a ridiculous face for the camera. This will show you’re fun loving personality off. People want to get to know all sides of you.
Another way to spice up your profile and keep the responses coming is to have a unique tag line. The standard “Looking for true love in Seattle” is just that- standard. It’s such a cliché even if it is true. Jazz it up a bit by stating something such as “Sporty Seattle gal in search of a team mate”. This is a bit wittier and again shows a bit of personality on your part.
Try to stand out in the ever growing sea of internet dating profiles. If you would consider yourself a funny person don’t just say, “I’m funny”. Perhaps posting your favorite knock- knock joke or appropriate one-liner will get your point across in a unique way. You might get a lot of responses just because they liked your joke. You never know!
And last but not least, TELL THE TRUTH! Nobody likes a liar. Tell exactly what you want out of your online dating experience. If you are just looking for a friend and nothing serious let it be known. Don’t be untruthful because you think that you will get more hits if you state that you love to go dancing when in fact you hate it.
Maybe coming clean that you have 2 left feet from the get-go would be a smarter decision and that the dance floor is the last place you want to be. You might also want to try and list any unusual talents or likes as well. You might find them to be embarrassing but there has to be a few people out there that like to dip everything in ranch dressing and collect sea shells that are shaped like Mickey Mouse!
Having a spectacular picture, using a great tag line and telling the truth on your online dating profile are sure-fire ways to get the responses. Keep everyone guessing, too. Change up your picture and your tag line every so often. Have fun with it and you might just find what you are looking for.
