Make Your Online Dating Profile Stand Out
If you’re looking for love online, your dating profile needs to stand out from the crowd. Learn what techniques work best when it comes to posting photos and writing your description.
Tips For Your Photos
1. Get in the mood. Photos usually turn out better when you’re having fun. Ask a friend to help you. Pick a pleasant setting like a picnic or a marina.
2. Express yourself. Use your images to deliver a message about who you are. Pose with your dog or stand in the middle of your rose garden.
3. Take multiple shots. It’s usually best to include several photos. Head and shoulder shots along with full length pictures will give people an idea of your physical appearance. Images taken with friends or engaging in activities you love will capture your personality.
4. Experiment with other images. Recent images of yourself are important, but you can also get playful. Show off your baby pictures. In a sea of faces, unusual images like your favorite novel or a pair of old jeans will get attention.
Tips For Writing Your Description
1. Clarify your goals. Know your purpose before you start writing. Are you looking for casual relationships or do you want to meet someone you’d want to marry?
