Online dating has come a long way in the past 10 years. There are quite literally hundreds of dating sites that cater to all ethnic and religious back grounds. However they all share one common factor: Selling yourself to the opposite sex. The first online pick up secret is to adopt the mentality that you are selling yourself. Here is how to exponentially increase your numbers and get more dates with any online dating site.

1) Online Dating Profile:

Your online dating profile is probably the most important aspect of online dating it must convey your positive traits. Think of it as a company website or marketing brochure, your online profile is meant to sell you to her. The trick is not to be arrogant be honest and inject a little humor in your profile. Remember one important fact, women love men that are fun and humorous.

2) Photo:

The next step is to upload a photo no matter what. It doesn't matter if you don't look like Brad Pitt, you must upload a photo. The biggest mistake I see are profiles that lack even one photo for her to see. Without a photo you are guaranteeing that no one will click on to your profile.

Make sure you are conscience about your body language in the photo you wish to upload. Sit or stand up straight and look relaxed and natural with a smile. Don't forget to smile.

The best photos are those that have you in social situations with other beautiful women. Women in particular, are more inclined to look at a man in a more sexual manner if he's surrounded by beautiful, attractive men and women. It displays you are sociable and confident around other people. The most important online pick up secret is to upload a photo that can convey all the above mentioned elements.

3) User Name:

Although your user name is not that important it must be positive and convey high social value. “Desperate4Love” is a horrible username and it stinks of neediness. Take the time and inject a little bit if your personality into the username.

4) Have Fun:

The very last step in creating an attractive dating profile is to have fun and don't worry if you don't receive a response from someone you contacted. Beautiful women are bound to receive hundreds of emails and winks they simply don't have the time to go through all of them.

Just as it is in a bar, club or party online dating is a numbers game. Don't expect thousands of hot horny women to email tomorrow asking for a date you must also make the effort.

The tips above are meant to increase your chances far above what the average Joe is doing online. You can easily view some awful profiles that lack any humor, originality or even a photo that scream “don't click here”.
