3 Things To Do To Stand Out From The Online Dating Website Crowd

Copyright (c) 2013-2023

Be Yourself. This is an overly used cliché in any dating arena, don't you think? We are all individuals, with unique personalities that are attractive in one way or another. However, in the online dating world, this may not be enough.

The main goal is to get your online dating profile get noticed and viewed a lot. So how can you make your profile stand out among thousands of profiles?

Here are some simple, yet very important things that you need to keep in mind:

1. Top-notch Photos

Let's face it, we all (somehow) tend to judge/assess/notice people based on their photos. Before we even look at the profile and read what she's got to say, we look at the photo first. Put yourself in the viewer's position. What will she think when she sees your photo?

The very first impression you make is in that profile photo, so at all costs, avoid "selfies" or those photos where you stretch your hand holding a camera to take your own picture. That's not very flattering.

Show the ladies that you care about yourself enough to exert effort in presenting yourself better. Get a friend and have him help you. Choose a good outdoor location that will help show your current environment, or your interests. If you are near the beach, have your friend capture you right before sunset in a pensive or thoughtful mood. Or you can walk under the sun and capture your vibrant moments, laughing or smiling endearingly to show your personality.

Make sure that your photos show the real you, in good lighting and excellent focus.

2. Kick-ass, Original Profile

You don't need to be Shakespeare or Hemingway to create a great profile. You already have your very nice profile photo, now back it up with an interesting profile headline that will capture the interest of the online dating website passerby, and make her stop and read what you have to say.

Your profile is your gateway to finding your best match, so spend a little bit more time and effort on it. Here, you'd need to look into yourself and pick out the things that you, your family and friends really love about you. What are the unique and interesting things that you have or do?

Also state your preferences. What are the things you are looking for in a partner? Avoid stating superficial qualities, such as "I am looking for a tall, busty lady", which would surely be a turn-off. Yes, physical properties may be a point of consideration, but you don't want the ladies thinking that you are shallow.

Do you need honesty in a relationship?

Do you need a life partner who shares your interests?

Your profile should be a reflection of both your personality and the personality of the person you want to be with, so be open and honest, but maintain reservations as well.

3. Be the Online Chatting Gentleman

So your photo and profile got noticed by the ladies, and now you have several correspondences via the website chatting facility. Great!

Once you get to this stage, think of one thing only: make your date smile during and after your chats. THIS WILL MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE.

No, you don't have to be a comedian to achieve this. You just need to make the ladies feel good about themselves, and make them feel important all the time.

You also should not be available to chat all the time, otherwise they'd think that you don't have a life.

When chatting, show genuine interest about the other person, and stick to fun and light topics so as not to intimidate your date.

Be consistent in terms of schedule and your chatting personality. Steer clear of obnoxious or sexual comments. This way, you will maintain your gentleman profile and avoid turning the ladies off in any way.

The Bottom Line

The online dating industry is vast, and yes, you need to stand out to be noticed. The tips previously mentioned are very important in setting up a base for yourself, and establishing your online dating presence.

Do not despair, and do not be overwhelmed, you will find your match.

You need to showcase your strengths and downplay your weaknesses, although you should not lie. If you are looking for a long-term relationship from online dating websites, you should be honest because your future match will eventually find out about everything.

In any of your correspondences, from responding to website messages and chat sessions, it is important to maintain civility and propriety. But do not be a prude. You don't want the ladies to think that you are frigid in the face of sexuality. There is a line between being sexy and obnoxious, after all.

Show who you really are, while being open, friendly, confident and most importantly, have fun!
