I’ve been pretty active in the world of dating online for a long time. I find it to be a nice way to get dates, and I’ve really met some great people this way. At the moment, my success with online dating is higher than it’s ever been, due to a number of different factors I’ve taken into consideration.nnToo many people simply just throw up a profile that sounds as generic as possible, hoping people will like their picture, or simply play the numbers game and contact them. I have news for you though.nnDo everything that you can to avoid the dreaded ordinary profile. This is a bad idea, as you’ll blend right in and many may simply pass you right by. Be yourself, and inject some personality into it.nnToo many people say the same exact things in their profiles. Read a few profiles by people of the same gender as you, and see if they’re similar to yours. If they read likes yours does, it’s probably time to make a chance.nnWhen it comes to pictures, show as many of them as you can. More is better, but don’t be overwhelming either. Limit it to somewhere between five and eight, and make the pictures cover a range of activities.nnPeople will definitely be more interested in you if they see you in different situations. Everyone wants someone who adds a little adventure to their life, and the right selection of pictures can definitely communicate such a message.nnYou should also do as much as you can to personally connect to all potential readers of your profile. They need to feel as if you’re speaking to them directly when they read what you have to say. In doing this, they’ll be much more driven and inspired to reach out to you.nnThese are all things that take just a few minutes of extra work and thought. The rewards are very well worth the time spent, as I have no doubt that you’ll find if you do these things.
