If you’re embarking on online dating, you know how important your profile is. It may be your only chance to make an impression and first impressions really count for a lot. Here are some tips from askmen.com that should help guys to make the kind of impression they’re hoping for.
Use outdoor photographs
This isn’t just an opportunity to show what you’re interested in, although that consideration also figures. It also means your picture was taken in natural light – you stand a better chance of looking your best.
Say what you do for a living
If you don’t have a career yet, talk about your plans and ambitions.
Don’t use selfies
Using selfies just makes you look self-absorbed and vain. Use pictures of yourself with family members or friends instead.
Make sure that your face and eyes are clear on the picture
Faces help us to connect with other people. Take off those shades and make sure that visitors to your profile get eye contact and a good look at your face.
Add some variety
Prospective dates will be hoping to get to know a little about you from your pictures, so don’t feature shots with only one theme.
State your intent
Are you looking for a relationship or are you just dating casually? It’s only fair to allow people to know what you’re hoping to find on the dating site.
List your interests
Listing your interests not only shows that you have interests, but also allows the profile viewer to decide whether you’re interesting. If your profile viewer actually shares your interests, you might be off to an excellent start.
Smile
A friendly open smile gives a positive impression. You look friendly and approachable. Make sure that you’re smiling in your profile pics.
