Are you the type of person that skims a lot of online profiles because they are so dull and uninteresting? If you're creating a profile of yourself take the time to put some interesting detail into your own online profile. After speaking with several single friends I learned they like to know what books someone likes. They want to find out the types of movies a potential date or partner enjoys, and to hear about their spiritual preferences. They would like to know the persons recreational likes. All these things are a big to help in understanding more about the person.
So doing these things, adding more detail, being more descriptive will help your profile stand out since many people will skip those sections or put in only a word or two in them. After all if you were looking for a date you would want to find an interesting person to date. So use that to your advantage and make sure your profile has all the little extras in it to capture the attention of more potential dates.
People like to know about what a prospective date learned from past relationships. So if you can satisfy that curiosity by writing about your compassion, acceptance and other qualities it should help considerably. If you have a lot of bitterness, anger and heavy baggage don't write about it, don't let it come through or you'll turn everyone off. If you still have a lot of unresolved issues from past relationships it is good to try to resolve them so you don't bring them into future situations. If they can't be resolved try to suppress them or better yet hold off looking for a date until you can control your emotions and feelings and eliminate or greatly reduce issues regarding past relationships.
When you create your username you can use a variation of your own name. Alternately you can use something that illustrates your interests such as skydivelover or masterchef etc. A lot of people love sunsets, bicycling, nature and eating out so if you do mention these things you should expand on them and mention additional interests in order to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
This way you will make yourself more unique. If you have an open mind about different spiritual traditions then it's good to list them and indicate your open mindedness. This will allow you to receive more responses. Same is also true for the categories of interests and exercise that many online dating sites include. Even if you aren't into astrology, put down your sign as some people like to use that as an indicator as well. The more you seem like an ideal match the greater your response will be.
On many of the dating and matchmaking sites the frequency of logging in will determine whether your profile will appear near the top of the list. So it's helpful to login fairly regularly as those profiles become closer to the top whenever a site's order of profiles is based on activity date. Even if you don't have time to scan its often wise on those types of sites to have a frequent login if you value being near the top of the list.
Some sites allow you to wink or smile at someone. This is good, but I think most people prefer getting an e-mail as it helps them to get to know the person a little more and is more of a personal touch. When you get a wink or smile you can wonder if someone is just going through the whole list and doing that. Following these tips should help you meet someone more interesting or similar to yourself.
In order for you to get other online daters to stop and read your profile you need to create an attention grabbing opening line, often referred to as a tagline or headline.
Do not underestimate the importance of having a headline. Besides your photo, it is one of the main factors in determining whether another dater will give your profile a second look.
Studies show that if online daters don't find anything to attract their attention in around 10 seconds or less, they move on to something else.
You probably do the same, we all do. Just think about this for a minute: When you read the newspaper or magazine, what draws your attention to a particular article or feature? Yes it's the headline. Its the headline that causes you to either keep reading or move on to another story or article.
Now you may not be consciously aware of this, but your mind filters out information that's not relevant to you, and at the same time you are drawn into information that is relevant and appealing. You are actually drawn in or away by the headline.
Which means your headline has just one job: To stop your reader in their tracks, and force them to read the second sentence of your ad.
There are two ways to apply this simple principle to your profile headline:
1. Using Self Interest Headlines - This type of Headline focuses on benefits that will interest the reader. It telegraphs the benefits that they will receive if they stick around. It is also very effective.
Online daters tend to scan through profile headlines and are only drawn to the ones that offer them a benefit of some sort. Understand that one of the things going through the readers mind is: "what in it for me?" If you can answer that question for them in your headline you will have grabbed their interest. So offer benefits, appeal to your readers desires and emotions and offer to fulfill their needs in your headline.
By doing this you will be able to bypass their mental filtering systems and get their full attention!
2. Using Curiosity Headlines ? This type of headline arouses the readers? curiosity so they are compelled to read further. Asking intriguing questions is a great way for you to achieve this and draw them in. Curiosity is one of the strongest emotive incentives. You should use it, and use it wisely.
When you arouse your readers curiosity, they will be compelled to read further into your profile. If you write with passion and emotion your readers will feel it to. Try to create the exact energy of what you want.
A great headline is not always about you. Remember this; your readers won't really give a damn about exactly what you are looking for or how tall or blonde you are unless it gratifies them to do so. You want to give them instant gratification. Give it to them with your headline.
A powerful headline takes advantage of your readers curiosity. Appeal to their emotions and watch your responses grow.
Here are a few guidelines on what to avoid.
1. Avoid anything with sexual connotations or innuendos like "sex goddess" or " great in bed"
2. Avoid obvious statements like "looking for true love" or "looking for soul-mate"
3. Avoid anything un-imaginative like "hi, I'm Gemma" or "hello, my name is Wayne"
4. Avoid pleading headlines like "please read my profile" or "please don't ignore me"
5. Avoid anything negative like "losers don't apply" or "no liars please"
When you take the above guidelines into consideration you will greatly increase the chances of your profile actually getting read!
