In the wonderful world of online dating where first impressions are everything, knowing how to perfect your profile can sometimes feel challenging! But fear not - we’ve got you covered.
From playful pictures to catchy headlines, we’ve broken down the art of the profile to explain exactly how to get your potential matches hooked at first sight.
The quickest and most effective way to catch the eye of everyone that lands on your profile is with a peachy profile picture. Truth is, we’re visually-stimulated creatures! There are simply no words that can replicate the immediate impact that a powerful photo can have on us. Once you’ve secured that initial attraction, use the rest of your profile to keep your potential matches hooked and keen to find out more about you.
We’re living in the age of technology - so make the most of your camera to ensnare your potential suitors! With our devices giving us quick and easy ways to take as many selfies as we like (and to effortlessly add them to our profile), use yours to upload a selection of clear and captivating snaps.
But with photos, quality is key! The better the quality, the more attention you’ll attract. Avoid blurry/unclear or cropped profile pictures. These risk giving the impression that you might be trying to hide something about yourself, or that you just aren’t invested enough making real connections.
Avoid blurry, cropped or unclear profile pictures, which can have a negative effect on people viewing your profile, as this could give off signals that you are either trying to hide something about yourself, or simply don’t care - if you don’t, why should they!?
The background visible in your photos can tell potential matches more about you than you may think! Details count - a dingy or messy room behind you can weaken the potential impact of even the cutest selfie.
Why not get creative and show your fun side? Instead of standing in your apartment, think about adventurous snaps in a park, in the wilderness, or maybe by the sea. Wherever you fancy, be sure to flash hints of your personality to give your potential playmates even more to be curious about…
Nobody wants to connect with a catfish! Any heavily filtered or badly-edited photos are red flags that signal falseness, turning off potential matches before they know anything more about you.
Photos are typically failed (so they don’t appear on the site) by our diligent Moderation team whenever it’s clear that anyone has tried to digitally change/adjust their appearance to fool our other members.
Fundamentally, for your best chance to discover real and authentic connections, you should be true to yourself. This is your space to explore and express who you are, and we’re all here to embrace that.
*Catfish: Someone that creates a fake (or far from true to themselves) identity online, and then uses this identity to lure others into online relationships.
Maximise your profile's impact with an attention-grabbing headline! This is a golden opportunity to make a bold statement about yourself, or for you to simply make your intentions known to potential suitors right from the get-go.
Bad headlines can be disastrous, turning potential partners away before they look further! Cliches are a guaranteed way to blend into the background. And of course, always avoid making statements that could appear arrogant, rude, or offensive.
The best (most clicked!) profile headlines are confident, positive, approachable, and show a sense of humour. Use interesting, quirky statements or conversation starters that will make potential matches thirsty for more!
Once you’ve got your photo poised and your headline sorted, your profile description is your opportunity to really lay your cards on the table and attract yet more potential partners.
Don’t be too humble or shy away - online dating is a competitive environment and you want to stand out from the crowd, right? Flaunt those interesting parts of yourself to leave a lasting impact on anyone checking you out.
Want the best chance to hold their attention? Try writing your description in a simple and succinct list of bullet points that sum you up and let your potential matches know what you like/dislike. This is much quicker and easier to read than a long and bulky paragraph!
But remember! In the best interests and safety of site users, we do have key Profile Description Rules that you must follow, which you can find via the link below:

So there you have it!
With all these tantalising tips under your belt, we have no doubt that your profile will be packed with potential partners checking you out.
And once they’re interested? Polish it off with a direct message to stimulate some candid conversation and you’ll be meeting up with your matches in no time.

I'm thinking of moving on from the site as there are very few ladies with pictures, on the other hand there are loads without pictures! I don't get it, no one is going to trawl through profile after profile without pics! Frustrating! |
