How to Optimise Your Online Dating Profile
Your online dating profile is the opportunity to express yourself within an app. But it can be hard to get it right, and this is not good since the profile is how the rest of the community sees you. Making yourself available for questions and using images will help. Here are some more.
Keep It Light and Funny
We all have different personality types. You may be cynical, serious about work or the fun-loving and carefree type. Whatever you are, it needs to shine through in your profile. However, even as a serious professional, it helps to tone things down a little. A lighthearted and somewhat funny profile is more likely to attract more engagement. This will make things like texting a girl for the first time a bit easier because they are already interested and can see your lighter side.
State You are Open to Questions
A good profile can be useful to other members of the dating community. But there may be things you have missed or other things people may want to know. Pretty much the only way they can find these out is by asking you directly. It can help to state that you are open to questions, but be careful to also state the kinds of questions that just won’t be answered, such as personally intimate ones. Also, be careful not to give out any private or personal data that can be stolen.
Write Your Dating Profile for the App
There are around 1,500 popular dating apps in use all over the world today. And the ones you use might be similar, but they have differences. Like social media posting, it will help if you tailor your profile to the audience of each app. This is one of the reasons why you shouldn’t use too many apps when looking for love. Using too many can get away from you, and rather than having fun, using them will feel like work. It is advised that you choose one or two apps you like.
Use Images to Tell Your Story
Mist people will jump to instant conclusions based on your images after scanning your profile or before in some cases. So, you need to get your images right. First, they must be an honest representation of you. This means genuine photos of yourself with no filters or Photoshopping. Of course, makeup is fine and will actually help. But keep it real. Try to find a good balance among fun images, group images, and selfies. And don’t upload too many with the opposite sex.
Don’t Be Shy About What You Want
No one likes playing guessing games, and trying to be something of an enigma online can severely backfire if you aren’t good at it. Sure, some people are attracted to that, but most just want someone honest and genuine. And that means saying what you are looking for, what you expect and where you feel a relationship should be headed. Keep it clean when it comes to intimacy, or you will attract the wrong crowd. But state you want romance if that is true.
Summary
A lighthearted bio can enhance your online dating profile, and you should tailor it for each app you use. Honesty and being genuine will help, alongside stating what it is you are looking for.
