Not Sure What To Put In Your Dating Profile? Here’s What The Experts Say
In the modern dating world, your online profile is your match’s first impression of you. So it’s critical that it be an honest and accurate depiction of who you are.
Quick disclaimer: I’m not here to write your online dating profile for you. I’m also not here to criticize your current profile or advise that you re-write your prompts. This article should serve as a guide for those single ladies out there who aren’t sure what to include, or not include, on their Hinge, Bumble, or other online dating profile. If you take away a single lesson from this article, let it be this: remain as honest and authentic as possible in dating introductions of any form, whether online or not. I promise it will elicit the best results!
Do’s
According to research, there’s a 15% uptick in online dating activity during the fall and winter months – making “cuffing season” not just a social phenomenon but actually a real human behavioral pattern backed by science. Studies show that an increase in testosterone during this season leads to an increased sex drive and desire for a romantic partner. That being said, now more than ever is the best time to perfect your dating profile.
1. Do Be Yourself
It sounds cheesy, but being yourself is arguably the most important tip that dating experts give – whether it’s on your dating app profile, on a first date, or 9 months into a relationship. If you find that the type of man you’re attracting is far from what you want, you may not be putting the most authentic version of yourself on your profile. Consider the types of photos that you’re posting. Do they accurately represent you? Do they teach the other person important things about you other than what you look like? Also consider what you’re including in your bio. Is it too brief? Is it too generic? Let your unique personality be highlighted throughout every aspect of your profile.
