Here are some key points to creating an online dating profile that will rouse compatible prospects to make the effort to contact you.

  • Be truthful.
  • Be enthusiastic.
  • Create an air of sexiness and mystery. You want to reveal enough to entice contact, but not enough to give the game away.
  • Make a list of your positive personality attributes. Are you funny, pretty, daring, religious, sporty, vegetarian?
  • Make a list of your physical attributes? short, tall, ample, trim, freckeled, describe your hair and eyes
  • List your pursuits – skiing, mountain biking, literature, charity work, stories, blogging, dancing, music?
  • Describe your idea partner, be open – sexually adventurous, intellectual, entrepreneurial, altruistic, funny?
  • Deal Makers? A shared love of Film Noir, close family, health conciousness?
  • Deal Breakers? Smoking, drugs, alcohol, sports obsession, bodily characteristics?
  • Clearly describe the kind of relationship you seek – serious, casual, sexual, discrete
  • Describe your romantic history? serial monogamist, flirt, open relationships, married, children.
  • Who are you romantically: supportive, romantic, impulsive, stubborn, faithful, domineering?
  • Be honest, but don’t paint a negative picture. Sell yourself.

Create an appealing, attractive, and intriguing profile and you’ll attract your ideal mate, just have a good-old time, or both.
