How To Get More Responses At Online Dating Sites
So, you’ve decided to join a
dating website.
You’re hoping someone out there will discover something interesting
about you and attempt to get to know you better. Many members
worry about appearing ‘desperate’ or over keen. This can cruel
putting in less effort into a profile in a bid to ‘play it cool’. Of
course, nobody wishes to be seen as desperate. However, keep this in
mind: how will others know what you want , if you don’t inquire for
it?
How will they ever appreciate your finer qualities if you remain tightlipped? Therefore, to be successful in the
online dating universe
, your profile is highly important . Members search through a
enormous numeral of profiles on these sites. If there's little
information about a prospective date, then they're more than likely to
skim over an
vacant profile
as quickly as possible. Look at this as a great chance to sell
yourself! The first aspect of your profile to consider should be
your photo.
No matter how much emphasis folks put on the importance of
personality, the old expression, ‘it’s nice to put a face to a name’
couldn’t be more apt. Physical appearance plays a large piece in
the real world , when first becoming attracted to someone. Also, it
helps to ensure that folks will remember you. The golden rule
when posting photos on
dating sites
is obvious – BE HONEST. We’ve all heard stories of folks who’ve
posted a photo that is ten or twenty years ancient . Or worse still, a
photo of someone else entirely!
Now, if you never intend to meet someone, then this isn't a problem.
But let’s be realistic – you wouldn’t be on a dating site if you
weren’t hoping to meet someone! A misleading photo causes all sorts of
unnecessary problems on a
first date.
You will have your date questioning your honesty. You need to turn
up for dates relaxed, with your best attitude put forward. Still not
convinced? Just think how you would feel, if you were deceived by a
photo, and that should be incentive sufficient for you to be
accurate.
So what if you’ve gained a few pounds? Aged a bit? Give yourself some credit, you’re still a
beautiful person,
and sure to be someone’s ideal ‘type’. So, try to get a recent photo
of yourself, looking the best you can. Avoid shots that are so dark or
distant that no one can see your face . People will only see either
an insecure person, or someone who has one thing to hide and move
on. Just think how frustrated and disinterested you’d be if you came
across such a picture. Let’s converse about location. How much
information is right? Obviously, for safety reasons you aren’t going to
put your address into your profile.
Apart from this, put as much detail as you feel comfortable with. At
minimum , put the state you live in. at most, your suburb. Anything
in in-between (such as the suburb your suburb is located in) is
too fine. We all know this, but it bears repeating, do not put your
phone number on any public site . It will save everyone a great deal
of time if you are open and honest about your
sexual preference.
Talk about your interests and hobbies. Don’t just leave it vacant !
And don’t worry if they don’t seem fascinating enough . This is who
you are.
If you are honest and forthcoming with this information, you'll be
more likely to attract the type of person you're after. For example ,
if you were the district running champion in high school, but never
intend to run again, don’t put it in as a hobby! To put in hobbies you
have no interest in, in the hope of appearing more impressive, will
only attract people you've nothing in common with in the here and at
this time . So, if you like peaceful nights in, say so! Try to paint
a wealthy and detailed picture of what the genuine you likes to
do. You also actually need to share a piece of your personality
with
your audience.
What are your beliefs? What are you looking for in a person? Also,
if you feel you've special qualities such as a sense of humour or kind
nature, try to write your profile in a way that sincerely reflects
that. You are presently alert to make your initial attempt at
creating a
winning profile!
Remember, you just need to keep it honest and current. You need to
exhibit you’ve created some level of effort to let members know who
the real you is. And when in doubt, remind yourself: give the sort
of information you yourself would be needing to know about when
looking at other members. Good luck!
