This is an urgent message for any woman who uses online dating sites.
Writing online dating profiles is a chore, mainly because you’re thinking of writing a featured profile rather than writing about yourself that men would love to know. Okay, that’s pretty vague too, but you need to do some research before spitting your resume on your online dating profile!
Reveal some of the worst online dating profile mistakes most women are probably making, and some of them are instant killers!
Writing more than necessary
Most online dating app profiles tell a story that no one is interested in reading beyond the first line. The first and foremost thing women need to know about men is that they don’t like to talk too much, in the case of online profiles, to write too much. Men are known to have a short attention span and they don’t want to know so many details, that’s what they should try to get to know you about. Men like dating profiles that are short and to the point, just like ESPN soccer recaps!
Drafting of lists
Do you go shopping at the supermarket? “I am looking for a man who likes to travel, dogs, food, children …”. You write a list of everything your ideal man needs to be and everything you are. Of course, you have a list, but it is not meant to be on your dating profile! Save it for the moment you really start thinking about a guy, your dating profile isn’t even the first step!
Be pretentious
Showing off and talking about yourself are two very obvious differences that anyone could notice. Since we women don’t like men who show off and are pretentious about their so-called everyday life, men hate pretentious bitches too! You don’t need to have flashy wardrobe, makeup, or cars screaming from your profile and pictures. The last thing you want is for the guy to find out who you really are and then walk away. Show who you really are and you’ll attract the right kind of male traffic on every online dating website.
Be generic
Yes, this point is the one that scares all women and then we start doing all the wrong things to make our profile noticeable. In any online dating app, look at 10 random profiles right now, I bet you will find striking similarities! They all want to show that they are fun, adventurous, love to travel, go out to eat and, of course, take walks on the beach! It’s like the hobby section of every resume: reading, listening to music, traveling.
You may be doing this, but don’t make it sound so generic, make the ordinary extraordinary. For example, “I am an adventurer” does not tell me anything, however, typing “I am taking flight lessons” has my attention. To stand out from the crowd online, you need a profile that is unique and attractive.
The profile is just about working up an appetite and giving men enough to want to know more about you. Avoid these instant offer killers and consider rewriting your profile with these must-haves in front of you. These will surely build a profile for you with all the yeses!
