Online Dating Profiles: Examples Of What To Include

August 8, 2011 | Author: Michael Kendricks | Posted in Dating

Ah, what to write in an online dating profile, it’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? I used to really be clueless about what to include, but through years of trial and error I really narrowed it down to some key things. In this article I want to give you some examples of what types of things to include in your online dating profile.

Now, I would bet anyone who knows what they’re talking about can tell you that you have to stand out from the tons of other men sending emails to women. Many may not tell you exactly how to do that however. Mr. Joe Blow, who talks about his affinity for lizards and snakes all through his profile will stand out, but not in the way he wants to.

So clearly you want to stand out in a good way. If you write something that women will remember about you, you will come across as an actual human rather than just words on a screen. If you follow the steps below in a well written way you will be someone she wants to respond to, and eventually meet.

Now let’s go ahead and get into examples of what to write in your online dating profile.

Passions

Writing about something you actually care about in your dating profile will get you much more responses than the same old boring stuff. Now granted, if your passions include something really bizarre like collecting stamps, you might want to consider finding something else you love to talk about. However, the bottom line is if you’re excited about it, it makes it way more interesting for the woman, and you get better responses.

Communicate the Right Things

Some of the things that you want to communicate are that you are confident and have a good sense of humor. You also want to show that you’re well adjusted and have interesting things going on in your life.

Ideally you want a woman to read between the lines of your profile and get that you have these qualities, not just blatantly list off that you’re smart, confident, funny, etc… What’s better is to actually make sure you’re profile is funny, something that can make a woman laugh out loud (or at least chuckle). That shows that you’re funny, much better than just telling a woman you are.

Write More Descriptively

Most profiles that I’ve seen tend to be an outline of general interests and adjectives. It makes for a very generic and boring profile to read. What’s more interesting is to pick a few things and really expand on them.

If you love to cook talk about what you love about it, what you like to make, what you could make for the woman, etc…

Being more detailed will give a woman an actual vision of who you could really be, which will definitely stand out among the crowd. You don’t even have to do that much with the details to really stand out, because 95% of men’s profiles are about as boring as a scientific journal article.

Keep It Playful

A profile with a lighter vibe will fare much better than a serious one (that’s probably seriously boring). Don’t get me wrong I don’t necessarily recommend being a total clown, and you can be a little bit serious; just keep the overall feeling of it light and positive. Also remember there is no room for negativity.

Think of meeting a woman off-line and immediately getting an earful about her Mom’s breast cancer survival story. Sure, you may care to hear about it eventually, and if you’re a good guy you’d listen and be supportive at that time. However, it’s just not appropriate for the first few minutes of meeting someone.

Your profile is just like the first few minutes of conversation in off-line encounters, so stick to the same guidelines. If you do this correctly, before long you will be getting to the more serious stuff with a lucky woman.

Make Sure Your Spelling and Grammar Is Correct

Would you be shocked to discover that many women will instantly dismiss your profile if you have bad grammar and spelling? Well, it’s true.

If a woman is really overboard about it, like having a conniption fit because you forgot the apostrophe in the word “its”, you’re better off far away from her anyway. Imagine being around her when something actually goes wrong!

Still, making sure you use periods in the right places, capitalization, commas, and spell things correctly, is vitally important. Don’t worry about a mistake here and there but having the basics in place is key.

I can guarantee you will start seeing better results from women online when you include these elements in your online dating profile.

You should have a good foundation now for what to write in your online dating profile, however knowing what to leave out is equally important.
