5 Tips To Make Your Online Dating Profile POP

Finding a date is easier than ever. Just turn on your computer, phone, ipad, whatever, and use a dating website. But if you really want to find the love of your life, you have to let your personality shine through. Here are some killer tips to ensure your online dating profile is the best version of you.

1. JUMP ON THE BEACH

This is not a suggestion, it’s an absolute requirement. A photo of you jumping on the beach lets other prospective mates know that you’re a free-spirit who likes to do things your own way.

2. GIVE TOO MUCH INFO

Information is the lifeblood of a thriving online dating economy. Are you equally content going out on a Friday OR staying in. Do you like movies and music?  The dating community needs to know as much about this stuff as possible. Don’t stop until the ‘about me’ section of your profile looks like ‘War and Peace’.

3. USE ALL OLD PHOTOS

That 2009 summer you looked great, probably your best ever. So why change it or put any recent photos of yourself? Some will say it’s dishonest, but it’s not, it’s sales 101.

4. LIE

No job? Fuck it! Say you’re a freelancer, consultant or DJ. Who cares, if you actually make it out for a date who asks about it just tell them they have you confused with some other profile they must have read.

5. BE INTIMIDATING

There’s nothing more approachable than someone who has unrealistically high expectations of strangers on the internet. If it’s possible, try to sound simultaneously interested in finding someone to date AND disgusted by the idea.  Really sell the idea that you don’t need the dating site to find dates,  you don’t check your account that often, your friend signed you up yesterday, or your standards are super high, these are all things that will endear you to the readers and make you seem cool and down to earth.
