Online Dating and Your Dating Profile

The world of online dating has turned the dating world around and is changing the way people are meeting. Young people have embraced the internet and all its glory and are using online dating and other social networks to meet and chat with their friends. The older generation now have an outlet rather than bars and clubs to browse through profile after profile to determine who they want to flirt with online.


So if you are new to all these new social networking tools and online dating sites, where to go to begin and how do you get noticed?


Your online profile is the most important factor, when talking about online dating. If you lack enough details in your profile, you won't get any serious takers. You have to highlight all your good aspects and keep the bad ones away at least until after your first date.


Try to be unique in your profile and don't just use terms like: 'looking for men in Brisbane area' or 'seeking women who want to have sex' unless you are Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.

Make sure your profile highlights your interests, activities and preferences, the more they can read about you online, the more they are going to start up an online conversation through flirts, chats and messages.

When uploading a photo to your profile, pick something that shows your best features. Make sure that your image has been reduced, but has not lost clarity, as some images loose their appeal when they are shrunk or resized. Always check your profile and your images from a member's point of view.


If you are really looking for love, then you need to be honest in your dating profile. If you do happen to meet your perfect match then you don't want to be making up excuses about the lies that you have mentioned on your profile for years to come.
