Dating apps have become the most common way of finding a partner in recent years. But building a dating profile that would maximize the number of matches is harder than it seems. So we rounded up some tips that would help you build a profile that would help you make the most out of your app!
The Right Photos
Make sure your profile picture is up to date, but not from a special event. Professional makeup and graduation gowns are not what you wear on a day-to-day basis. An optimal picture would be a photo of yourself on a good day with a look you can easily recreate.
Don’t Say You Are Funny — Be Funny
We are all looking for someone with a good sense of humor. So it is not surprising that plenty of people proudly state that they have a good sense of humor, when in reality this often doesn't turn out to be the case. In order to stand out among all those self-proclaimed comedians, don’t mention your sense of humor — demonstrate it.
Proofread and Review
There is little more frustrating than a poorly written profile. When setting up a profile, always make sure it is spelled correctly, that the grammar is on point, and that there are no typos to be found. When in doubt, ask a friend for some writing advice and have them review the profile. Make sure to get their honest opinion about the impression you’re trying to make.
No Clichés
Do you enjoy sunsets and long walks on the beach? Are you just looking for a best friend to spend your life with? Congratulations — you are now exactly the same as 90% of the app users. When writing your profile, try to include memorable pieces of information about yourself. Maybe you like zucchini on your pizza. Maybe you have a minor obsession with Rick Astley. Who knows?
