Make your dating profile professional
Don’t wade into the digital dating pool uneducated. With tens of millions of people looking for love online, you’ve got to work doubly hard to stand out. Don’t Kill Them With Adjectives
Sift through a dating site, and you’ll find unending lists of adjectives: smart, kind, funny, adventurous, honest, caring... Why not just include uncreative, cliched and boring?
Ditch the list. Make your new mantra that old writing maxim: Show, don’t tell.
The Photo
Even though starry-eyed suitors might say it’s what’s on the inside that counts, don’t fool yourself: Your photo is perhaps the most important element of your profile.
Experts have a couple of strict rules. For men: "I don’t care how well-built you are, keep your shirt on," Resnick said. "Women are laughing at you."
For women: "No bikini shots. And if you’re going to put up a bikini picture, don’t be surprised if you get a lot of e-mails from guys you don’t want to meet," Resnick said.
Don’t Fudge the Truth
Lying will get you nowhere. If the hope is to meet your online crushes in the flesh, then those slight exaggerations will loom large. Keller said women tend to lie about their age and their weight, and men tend to lie about their height and their income.
Posting a good personal ad is only half the battle. The other half is scrolling through the ads to find someone you like.
When you do find people you like, don’t be shy.
