Creating an Online Dating Profile

Friday, April 17th, 2009

How to talk about yourself on a date-1To join an online dating service, you need to create a member profile which helps you to describe yourself as to who you are, what you are and what are you looking for? Although you may answer every question as you wish to but before that I would like you to know that there would be many profiles which would have common content. Do you wish to be one of those who share same content on their profile or you want to look different? But of course, you would want to stand out of the crowd. To be different from others in creating an eye catching dating profile you should take care of few things which I am going to mention. Here you go…

The first thing which I would like to mention is take you time building a dating profile. You have to present yourself to the best possibility for a match so be patient and take time building your profile.

Create a unique headline specifying your most passionate thing and it will certainly help you out finding someone sharing the same thing and may be you turn out more compatible with that person.

Look Different: A Profile allows you to demonstrate yourself in front of the world, so you need to be very careful about your answers to some common questions. The idea is to read about 10 to 15 profiles and look for what they all have in common and now you know where to make a difference to look different.

Adding a Photo: Building a relation may not entirely depend on the photo but yes, a photo plays a major role in it. Add a latest photo which is quiet clear and gives a professional look. But that doesn’t mean that you have to take a headshot. You can add any of your photos doing anything you love to, but please do check out for no common results again.

Easy Read Profile: You might be into online dating from a long time back, able to understand the terms like ‘SWF ISO SM’ (Single White Female In Search Of Single Male), but anyone who goes through your profile may not necessarily be knowing these terms, specially the new users, so avoid using such terms in your profile making it easy to read for all. Mostly people do not stay on a profile for long and if you use such terms, they may slip off a little earlier than normal.

Be Honest about yourself: This is a point which is ought to be remembered while writing about yourself. You should know one thing, sooner or later a person will come to know about you, so there’s no point lying at this point. Be what you are, write the truth, no matters if you are divorced, you have kids etc. Just be what you are and no need to hide. When a relation develops, there’s a bonding because of the trust and when small things come up later on the other person starts loosing the trust in you and your relation may end up nowhere, so it’s always better to say the truth no matters how hard it can be.

Keep Your Profile Simple: You are provided with a space to tell about yourself but that doesn’t mean that you have to write a full story mentioning all about you let the people imagine you from your profile. Create your profile in such a way that a person could read it in a minute or two or it can become a bit boring for some.

Spelling and Grammar: Always check your spelling and grammar twice before you post a profile. This is a common mistake made by most of the people. The spelling and grammar mistakes in your profile put up a question about your smartness. Smart people do not make such mistakes. You can also make someone read your profile before you post it, just to ensure about the grammatical errors.

Don’t Write All About you: No questions, this profile is to mention about you and who else?? I just want to convey that, mention you finer points in such a way that your profile doesn’t seems like a boasting thing, just try and be humble and remember to leave a space to mention about the kind of person you are looking for.

Mentioning About The Partner: Always mention specifically what you want your ideal partner to be like, mention a few respectful and realistic lines describing your partner which will in return help you find a compatible partner easily.

Look Alive: No one will ever want to be in relation with the person who is dull, so be passionate about your life, your hobbies. Look full of life!!

Make Changes: You can make changes to your profile anytime you want to, so it’s not necessary to worry about the perfection in the very first time, but you can and you should make the desired changes after a short span of time.

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Dating service scam-1Online Dating is an industry which is growing at an incredible rate in the world of today. This industry consists of millions of dating profiles and the rate of addition of new profiles is remarkably around as many as a minimum of a many thousands per day, a huge thing!! There are many websites which are offering you Dating Services, some of which may charge you a few bucks monthly or yearly etc. Whereas, there are many websites which offer you free Dating Services. You can choose either a paid service or a free service, it’s up to you. To have a successful online dating you need to choose the service carefully. Choosing a Dating Service is quiet easy, you should know about the following things which will lead you to the success: –

You should know that there are a many dating services which aren’t reliable.  It’s always a good idea to check out for reviews more than one if possible, just to be sure that the sources are unbiased. If you do not follow the idea of checking reviews properly, you may land up joining a dating service with outdated or inactive member profiles, so be careful before joining and making any payments.

Few sites use a dishonest marketing technique, they would attract your attention by offering you to create a free member profile on their website, but sooner you will me mailed a message stating that you have a private message from so & so opposite sex member, in spite of the fact that you may not have created your profile in detail or added your picture to your profile you receive a private message. Now, to read a private message you need to be a paid user and they (dating service providers) will ask you to make a payment to read the message. DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT TO SUCH SITES. It’s no use. It is only a marketing technique and there is no such member profile that messaged you. Even if you try, you will find no response from that member in spite of making the payment on the same day. Not all the sites are dishonest, but a few sites use this tactic.

Now, after a good search you know a good & genuine dating service. Now you need to create a profile in that dating service. All done with choosing a dating service now?? NO. Here, I would like to advice you to check whether the dating service is offering you to create a profile by answering some pre written questions or customize your profile a bit. Now, this is important. Do not select a dating service which is offering you to create a profile on above mentioned measure; this will just add a limit to your description. Instead choose a dating service which allows you to create your profile as you want, defining no limits to how you want to display yourself in front of other member of the service.
