It can be intimidating trying to come up with the best way to present yourself to the world of online dating, as you naturally want to present yourself in the best light. It can be even more challenging for those who don’t enjoy writing – even more so writing about a profile about themselves. If you follow these simple profile tips, you will wind up with a decent online dating profile.
- You want to write enough to garner some interest, but not so much that you’ve explained everything about yourself in couple paragraphs. The goal is to illicit that first contact and arrange a first date. If you give it all away, there will be no point in meeting you.
- Don’t make your requirements too narrow. If you seem overly picky it will be a turn off. Describe characteristics about a person you would like as preferences not requirements. Keep your “must haves” and “want to haves” separate.
- Tell the truth. You may want to lie, but every good relationship starts with integrity. This is no exception. Any lies here could end up biting you in the ass in the future and ruin a potential relationship.
- Be interesting and avoid a boring cookie cutter profile at all costs. Humor and creativity are the two components that make a profile memorable. Don’t use self deprecating humor – that communicates lack of confidence. Avoid cheesy clichés unless you’re doing it to be funny.

I work as a dating coach, and focus a lot of my business on the online-dating aspect of the industry. I really like what you’ve said here, and think you’re giving good information. I don’t see the issue of lying in your profile/messages come up too much, but I think it’s a big issue. I’ve messed that one up before myself!! I wrote something about it on my blog at http://www.online-dating-mastery.com/?p=1100, if you have time to check it out.
