15 Hacks For Creating an Online Dating Profile (That Works)

So a couple of weeks ago, I was chilling at my favorite coffee shop, swiping away on three different dating apps, wondering why I wasn’t getting the matches I hoped for.

Seriously, bro, I have NEVER been more frustrated.

I knew I had a lot to offer, but my dating app profile just wasn’t cutting it. It felt like I was lost in a sea of right swipes, winks, and nudges, unable to grab any attention at all.

Then I read a story online about this guy who was getting tons of matches every day. I just didn’t get it because he sure wasn’t what you call Chris Hemsworth-looking.

I started researching everything there is to know about dating apps and creating dating profiles. I swapped out the dull photos, rewrote the clichéd bio, and slowly but surely, I began to stand out from the crowd. Dates started to roll in, and I realized I was onto something big.

So here is my secret method that will take your online dating app profile from zero to hero. ????‍♂️

15 dating profile tips that will attract women

Alright bruv, let’s jump into the 15 steps to creating an online dating profile that stands out from the crowd. These steps will help you get more attention more first dates with some attractive women and might even land you a girlfriend.

#1 Nailing a Winning Bio

The two main jobs of your online dating profile bio are to;

Your dating profile is just like a TV commercial. You want to intrigue, inform, and leave your potential match wishing to know more. How do you achieve this? I got two awesome online dating profile examples for you.

They are both very different but in my opinion, good and will definitely make you stand out.

Example 1: Solid Jake

I love life and living it! You are dealing with the ultimate gentleman. No matter the situation, at the end of the day, I will put a smile on your face and make you wonder, “How come I have never met such a guy before?”

I love the outdoors, and listening to jazz music, I’ve got hobbies that make me money, and I love attending cultural events, and socializing with quality people. I love staying active, fit, and healthy. Family and friends are important to me. Women who are ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous” on the outside and “Drop Dead Garbage” on the inside are a no for me.

I am originally from Chicago, though I live in NY now. I have lived in a few different countries as well. Want to know more about me, Well, that can’t happen unless you contact me. You still haven’t messaged me; well, Let’s GO! (Smile).

Example 2: funny peter

Sometimes, short is better than long. like this guy for example, who made a really funny Tinder bio while keeping it short and sweet. ????????

• 4″3 in socks
• 4″9 in heels
• Got a C in geography so can definitely find your clamportis.
• Professional rapper, tell your mom to buy my mix tape.
• If you were the one that memed me please confess. ????
• Probably a better cook than you ????‍????

#2 Choose a Catchy Yet Straightforward Screen Name

The last thing you want is anything boring. You want a name that rises above the hordes while still demonstrating the true you. Go for a name using humorous, silly, and goofy puns.

Avoid sexual preferences. Also, resist the urge of using a number on the back end of your handle as it comes off dull and lacks creativity for example “Jake 1999”.

For safety reasons, do not use your full name on your dating profile.

Let’s say your name is Jake. Instead of using just your name, be a bit more creative and make something funny out of it. Here are some good examples what I would do:

1. JokingJake
2. JustJakeNotJohn
3. SwipeJakeNotDrake
4. JakeMyDay
5. JakeOrBreak
6. JakeMeIfYouCan

#3 Write a Headline that Acts As a Hook

The 100-character box at the top of your dating profile is the FIRST impression people get of you. Make it count.

You might open up with a line from your favorite movie or a book that you read that was meaningful to you.

Do not cover everything about you in this initial area. There will be plenty of space to elaborate all that later. Research has shown if 70% is about you and 30% describing your ideal partner then that ratio hits the maximum attraction sweet spot.

What I like to do is to include a short funny quote (yes you guessed it by now, I like humor). Having a quote from a famous person gives your online dating profile a bit of class and style.

“I’m on a whiskey diet. I’ve lost three days already.”

– Tommy Cooper

“If at first, you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.”

– Unknown

“Ayo, these ain’t looking like shooting stars”

– Dinosaurs

#4 Tell a Story

Avoid listing everything out in your dating profile bio. The idea of your dating profile bio is to show your personality. The more details you provide about who you are, the better. Do not compare yourself to others.

If you enjoy traveling, you could try describing how the experience was like and the new sensation you felt.

Ending with a memorable final line makes your dating profile bio sound intriguing. You can tie your bio statements by being creative and showing the photos to present a story in multiple parts.

#5 Be Honest and Open

It is vital to let the people know what your intentions are. Your dating profile should be a realistic portrayal of your personality. Are you looking for a long-term relationship or a quick hook up? Don’t be afraid to mention it.

Include information about your age and occupation as this gives the potential matches a better idea as to whether you are compatible or not. It saves both you and your possible matches’ precious time to get it out right away then later on.

If you are looking for a serious relationship, I recommend writing down if you have deal breakers like children, smoking or drinking. You do not want to end up surprised or disappointed later on.

#6 Check and Polish Your online dating profile

Once done with your initial draft, save it and leave the page. Come back after a day with fresh eyes and focus on grammar and spelling mistakes.

If you use the same dating app profile on different online dating profile sites you might want to consider tweaking them a bit. Some dating apps (like Bumble for example) are less casual. Tinder on the flip side is the champion dating app if you are looking fo r a fast-paced swiping experience.

#7 Choose Effective Profile Pictures

The simple truth is that nothing you write matters without the right photos. If you don’t have the perfect profile picture, even the most celebrated authors of all time can’t help you.

You need to have a photo gallery that makes you look flattering in every photo you post. You can combine your interests and personality traits to have a powerful photo gallery.

If you don’t have any good photos, consider hiring a professional photographer to take some for you. A few hundred bucks can go a long way to finding the right girl.

#8 Smile

When you smile in your photos, it makes you look accessible and expresses your happiness to others. 96% of people respond well to a big smile while showing teeth as opposed to a sexy closed-mouth smirk as polls have shown.

That, however, does not necessarily mean that all your photos should only include smiley images as that is weird…

#9 Look into the Camera

Did you know that eye contact establishes trust and makes you appear friendly?

Try posting photos where you are giving your attention to the camera and gazing straight ahead to the current profile reader. Try limiting your photos with sunglasses on to just one picture as you might come off as cold or closed off.

#10 Your Primary Profile Pic Should Be About You

The last thing you want is to confuse your potential matches. Make sure you are the only person in your main profile. Post a photo that shows your best physical attributes. Use a picture that makes your face and body more visible.

#11 Include a “Few” Action Shots

What do you love doing? If you love writing, you can attach your weblink for people to know what you’re about.

Throw in some pictures where you’re surfing, rock climbing, playing basketball, dancing, etc. The people who have similar interests to you will get drawn quickly.

#12 Don’t Include Familiar Faux Pas

Avoid sex in your profile, better yet leave it out. Saying something like;

“I want to make love on a beach with my soul mate”

is a dumb mistake.

It gives people a wrong impression about you and encourages people you probably have no interest to write to you.

Do not include words like;

“I am looking for my soul mate”

you will probably find it in almost every profile. The whole point is to make your profile unique and not look the same as everyone else.

#13 Don’t Brag

It is a turn-off, period! Don’t try bragging about how handsome or beautiful you are; people will think you are stuck up and move on.

#14 Leave Nothing Blank

Fill in the blanks on your profile. You come across as lazier than mysterious when you tell people “I will tell you later.”

#15 End With a Hook

It is a way of asking a person to show you they are interested. For example “if romance and love appeal to you as they do to me, let me know.” In short, you are asking them if they like what you like then they can let you know by writing back.

at The end of the day…

Creating an online dating profile might seem like an intimidating task, but the truth is it’s easier than you think.

You need to put a little time and effort into it, after all, it’s love not brain surgery, so give it a go. You will be on your way to meeting the kind of people you are interested in.
