Is there such a thing as the perfect online dating profile? Probably not, but there are some things you can do to make sure that your profile catches the attention of the profile browsers.
Keep it short and simple
Some online dating sites give you a number of words to use in your profile, or have a box for you to type it into. This means that you are limited to what you can say and how. For this reason, its a good idea to plan what you want to say before you write it. List all the things you want to say and then go through the list and remove anything that isnt absolutely essential. Then write your profile and repeat the exercise. If theres anywhere you can shorten your sentences, then do so you may even end up with words left over that you can use to encourage people to get in touch.
Whilst the number of words you are allowed for your profile can vary from site to site, its worth maintaining the concise nature of your profile so that its easier for people to read. For example:
I am a really fun-loving person and all my friends think that I am the life and soul of the party!
Can be easily changed to:
I am fun-loving and like to...
