Singles, Photo Personals, and Making Contact!

If you haven't already taken a look at our tips on "HOW TO WRITE A GREAT PROFILE" for your online dating quest, take a minute and read through them! Once you're done there, you might also look at our section on "CONTACTING THOSE ONLINE SINGLES YOU LIKE"

  • Make an effort to get few good pictures up.   Personals ads are one thing, but until your online profile can be called a "photo personal", it will mean a much slower start.
  • Read other people's member profiles in your category to see what people are saying about themselves to entice other singles to contact them.
  • Try using shorter sentences.   You're writing a profile for other singles online to read.   Save your doctoral thesis for later.
  • Avoid using negative words/phrases like "tired, sick, frustrated, fed-up, and 'need not apply'".
  • Keep it light! This is something the world will read. There's no reason to air your dirty laundry here.   No one cares that you're on the rebound or that you've just had your heart trampled on.

Using these little tips can make your online matchmaking go much easier and will increase the number of great singles who contact YOU for dates. Keep this in mind, if you're really interested in having people contact YOU, you need to move your dating site member profile from the generic section into the photo personals section as quickly as possible.
