These days, it's quite uncommon for single people to NOT have a profile on some site like Match.com or Facebook for the sake of meeting people online.
But how exactly do you make not just any dating profile, but a dating profile that stands out in the crowd? A profile that attracts YOUR type of woman... and without much effort?
As a dating coach who regularly meets women online and teaches men how to do it I can honestly say: you won't believe how many garbage profiles are out there. Profiles of desperate guys, creepy guys, and other weirdos. Don't be one of them.
Be someone who wants to learn how to write an awesome dating profile. And if that's what you want to learn, then keep reading below to check out my dating profile tips.
Here we go! Check out how you can write a great profile:
1) If you tell me you have a great sense of humor, why would I believe you if you're not making me laugh? In other words don't tell a woman you're anything, because you need to SHOW it to her. Don't say "I'm funny", tell a joke. Don't say "I'm romantic", give her an example of a romantic evening with you.
2) If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything. Same goes for your dating profile: if you try to attract every woman with it, you'll end up being mildly attractive to every woman. If, however, you tailor your profile to a certain "audience" (your type of woman)? You will be insanely attractive to some and not attractive to the rest. Which do you prefer: a bird in the hand... or the bush? So if you fall for artsy women, women who love art, tell as much as you can about art on your dating profile and show photos of you with art and so on and so forth.
3) Why reinvent the wheel when you can already drive cars around? In other words, why go through all the trouble of coming up with an awesome profile yourself... when millions and millions of guys have already made a dating profile somewhere? I mean, why not take the best of their profiles (if there's something good about them at all) and put it on yours?
4) "Set and forget" means watching all the women you won't get. By that I mean don't think you're done when you made a dating profile once. You need to update it frequently, play around with it, experiment with it. Why? Because that allows you to find the text and photos that gets the highest number of women to reply to you and contact you. Plus, updating it means you were "Recently online"... and guess what a dating site's search results display first? People who were recently online!
As you can see: most of the tips make sense, yet somehow? Almost no one seems to actually follow these tips when it comes to online dating. So use that to your advantage: use these tips for your profile so you'll be one of the few who knows what he's doing online. Who REALLY knows what he's doing online.
And that's all I have to say about making great dating profiles as a man (for now!) Hope you liked my advice.

Really great article with great tips! As a woman who has used online dating before, I cannot stress the importance of following the tips in this article. Seriously, some guys spend little time on their profiles, they are missing a picture, not even taking the effort to write about themselves. Follow this article and it will help you be more successful online :)
OKCupid has a ton of great articles on how to up your chances in the online sphere. If you ingore the racially charged articles that basically say "if you want to get girls online, be white and rich", the rest of them are pretty good info. Your picture is basically the STAPLE of your profile - taking some time and getting a nice headshot with some depth of field increases your chances of getting attention by something like 70%, as opposed to some crappy iphone picture. Good article topic!
