Don't just write about yourself; when writing your profile, think about the person you would like to be with in a long-term relationship.
Looks matter, for sure, but you'll probably choose someone real, considerate, interested in you, and able to make you laugh. There's nothing wrong with that because it's the most natural thing of all: we want to be with people who make us happy. When writing your online dating profile, make sure you're the kind of person you'd want to be. Try not to be self-centered; instead, make it clear that you're interested in other people too and what you'd like to do together with your date. What do you value in people? Show that you're great company, not just someone who expects others to want to be with you.

In dating, words can break the ice and even make it possible for you to introduce yourself to a single you find interesting. First impressions count because words make you stand out from the crowd. Words also help you draw your match's attention, and the first words you exchange online can make all the difference. Let's start with the words you use to describe yourself on your profile. They say a photo is worth more than a thousand words, but our singles have told us that a profile description matters more to them than photos. On a serious dating site, it's especially important to take the time to make your written presentation as strong as possible and to reveal your true self honestly and carefully.
