Are you becoming frustrated at the lack of response from your online dating profile? I know how you are feeling. When I signed up for online dating services, I was excited to wake up each morning to an inbox full of potential dates. What I woke up to instead was an inbox of disappointment. I got maybe 1 or 2 responses and none that I was interested in replying to.
After I took a second look at my profile, I realized several things that I was doing wrong. I read my profile from the point of view of the person browsing the dating site. Let's just say I bored myself to tears. My profile was putting me to sleep! It was no wonder I hardly got a response.
Most of my dating profile questions consisted of one sentence answers. My headline wasn't catchy at all and I only had one small photo of myself posted. I can tell you what I did that increased my response rate tremendously.
First I tackled my headline. Your headline is the first thing browsers will see and a good headline is what will get them to click through to read your entire profile. What I did was added humor to my headline. Everyone likes to laugh and a sense of humor can attract a lot more people.
Second, I took the time to answer all of the dating questions thoroughly. I converted my one sentence in each answer into full paragraphs providing much more detail which made my profile 100 times more interesting.
Finally, I added a few more photos of myself. I added a single head shot, a photo hanging out with friends, and a photo doing something I enjoy such as bike riding. I think adding photos of yourself doing different things can tell a person a lot about yourself.
My response rate went through the roof after I made the above changes.
The only problem I ran into with writing my dating profile is that I tend to get writer's block when I begin talking about my likes and dislikes. I can write about almost any topic, but when it comes to writing about myself, I have a hard time.
