How to fill out the about me section on a dating site
You may have noticed that online dating has become a very popular way for people. Although it is a good forum to chat and get to know someone before making a decision to meet them or not. It can still be difficult to even get to an initial presentation online. To increase your chances of meeting the right person, I’ve laid out a few simple steps that will help you get more responses and more dates in the offing. And lead to that right person with whom you are perfectly matched.
Your success in finding a good match for you will start with how you complete your profile, in fact this will be the most important step, so take the time to make it as compelling but truthful as possible. Start with the photo. Choose a good recent photo of yourself to post. This is very important, most profiles without a photo will be overlooked. If you don’t have a recent photo of yourself, take one. Make sure the photo reflects who you are, not what you think your potential date wants to see. If you’re a mechanic, don’t try to fool anyone by wearing scrubs.
When completing your profile, be honest. If you’re not honest about who you are or what you do, you’ll attract people you have nothing in common with, and it all becomes a waste of time for both of you. Be sure to fill in as much information about yourself as you can, avoid leaving blank spaces if it is not necessary. When you fill your interest, try not to do it as a list, ie; I like swimming, backpacking, camping, etc. There are a million profiles out there saying the exact same thing. Instead, engage in a conversation just like you’re talking to the person reading your profile. Spice it up a bit, don’t overdo it. Try something like, I like to swim and go to the beach whenever I can, I also like to backpack and have hiked miles of trails, I love to go camping, pitch the tent, roast the marshmallows and tell ghost stories. This will make you seem more capable of engaging in a fun conversation.
Be sure to be specific about the type of person you want to meet, but don’t come off as snobbish. For example, if you don’t smoke and say at some point, I can’t stand smokers, so don’t even bother trying to connect with me. Even a non-smoker who might otherwise be interested in you can be turned off by that kind of comment. Try something like; I am not a smoker and would prefer not to connect with a smoker, sorry. If physical appearance is important to you, convey that without being arrogant or offending. Something like that won’t work for you; I am a hot stud and I am looking for a hot blonde bombshell. Try this; I would like to meet someone who shares my interest in fitness, health and external appearance.
When you’re done with your profile, save it and come back and review it. If there’s something in there that would put you off if you were reading someone else’s profile, it will probably put someone else off too. Edit it until it’s a profile you’re interested in, if you find it interesting, it will attract the type of person you’re looking for if they find it interesting. Once you have your profile just how you want it, post it, sit back and enjoy all the responses.
