Writing an online dating profile can be tedious, but a good profile is essential to your success. Without a well-written profile, things will be a little tough.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for you, I\u2019ve been helping online daters write profiles for over a decade! In this article I\u2019ll be going over tips that will teach you how to write a profile that gets you an enthusiastic yes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Be enthused about the process
\n<\/b>Pretend you\u2019re really excited for a first date. You show up your hair done and a pep in your step, only to be met with a weak smile and a whispered hello. Nothing kills attraction like low energy and disinterest.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t write a low energy, disinterested profile. Your profile is the first impression you make on another total stranger, so let it be one that shows off your best traits. Don\u2019t write things like \u201cI\u2019m not sure online dating is for me,\u201d or \u201cI hate talking about myself.\u201d Do write things like \u201cNothing gets me out of bed on a weekend like the smell of early morning surf\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ve been doing improv for five years so I hope you like \u2018Whose Line Is It Anyway.\u2019 \u201d Get excited and be exciting. Be someone who you\u2019d be excited to date.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Give a multitude of reasons for people to be interested
\n<\/b>One of the best ways to make other daters want to say yes is to present a diverse portrait of yourself. The more hobbies, interests, passions, and personality traits you display, the more <\/span>reasons<\/span><\/i> people will have to <\/span><\/i>connect to your profile. \u201cAction is character\u201d is a famous phrase among writers. Action helps people understand each other. So what do you do? Put it on display. It\u2019ll help people get to know you. The more you things you do, the more ways others can reach out to connect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make it easy for someone to engage with
\n<\/b>The best profiles provide easy entry points for other daters to start a conversation. The more entry points you provide, the more likely someone is to engage you. Listing your interests, like tip number two is just one of the many ways to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One good way to provide an entry point is to prompt other daters for a response.  Let\u2019s take a look at an example. Instead of simply saying, \u201cLive music is a huge passion of mine,\u201d try, \u201cI\u2019ll see just about any musician live. Hit me with your best recommendations!\u201d This makes it feel like you\u2019ve already broken the ice to start the conversation, and they just have to keep the momentum going.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Present your profile properly
\n<\/b>People see lots of profiles. You\u2019ll want to make yours as easy to digest as possible. No bio? That\u2019s going to be a know. Writing your entire life\u2019s story? People won\u2019t read it. It\u2019s a delicate balancing act.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good profile should be structured in short, mini-paragraphs, each containing no more than two to three sentences. Try to keep them engaged. Give information and personality, but don\u2019t bog it down with too much information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Write how you speak
\n<\/b>Many people have trouble writing a profile, because the majority of their writing experience is limited to how they wrote essays in school or formal emails for work. Try to channel the tone you use when catching up with an old friend.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a little help finding your writer\u2019s voice? Try recording yourself on your phone talking about your hobbies and interests for a few minutes. Use contractions and figures of speech to add color to your writing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
