Key considerations for your dating site profile:

1: Have nice pictures. Smile! Be aware of the background in your picture. I’ve seen many women’s selfie’s taken in the bathroom mirror with towels strewn about in the background.

2: I don’t care so much about where you want to travel and what you like to do so much as what you care about. What matters to you. What kind of person do you want to be with? Tell us more about who you are, not so much what you like to do.

3: do tell us about your religious or spiritual beliefs. Is going to church important to you? What is your political affiliation, specifically these days are you a Trump supporter or not. This is a very polarizing topic and it absolutely is relevant when considering who you might want to go out with.

4: Try avoiding saying what you don’t want. People have had a lot of unpleasant experiences in the dating world, but when I read profiles that focus on what they don’t want in a partner or someone to go out with, it just comes off as being negative. You want to project positive energy, not negative energy.

5: it is important to indicate what type of relationship you’re looking for. Are you looking to get married, are you looking for a lifetime commitment, or are you open to different possibilities. These matter, because if someone is interested in meeting people and seeing what happens that’s a very different mindset than someone who is on the dating site with the intention of wanting to get married.
