It’s that first impression that gets people interested. But it can be difficult sometimes to figure out what photos express who you are and what essential aspects of your life to include in your dating profile bio.</p> <p>Are you searching for helpful tips, so that your dating profile stands out and makes people take notice? We explore some ways you polish it up and make it more engaging while still being suitably representative of the real you.</p> <div class="wp-block-group has-accent-light-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-radius:20px;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:24px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:24px"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-main-brand-100-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-400-font-size wp-elements-877517cca856fd93c79e033f6a561ba0" style="padding-top:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)"><strong>Key takeaways for creating a dating profile</strong></h2> <p>Creating an effective online dating profile is essential for making a positive first impression. Here are the key takeaways:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list is-style-checkmarks"> <li class="has-font-150-font-size"><strong>Don’t leave it half-finished</strong>: Fill out all sections, including hobbies and interests, to give the most rounded picture of yourself</li> <li><strong>Be authentic</strong>: Share personal stories and your unique quirks to stand out, you don’t need to sound like everyone else</li> <li><strong>Use your best photos</strong>: Choose clear, well-lit images that showcase your personality and the things you love</li> <li><strong>Always be honest</strong>: Tell the truth about your lifestyle and relationship goals to create genuine connections. Having things like your cultural background, family traditions or similar can help attract people who share your values</li> <li><strong>Encourage people to engage</strong>: Use prompts or open-ended questions in your profile to start meaningful conversations</li> </ul> </div></div> <h2 data-chapter-name="Dating profile aspects" class="wp-block-heading" id="Dating-profile-aspects">Aspects of dating profiles you need to know</h2> <p>Dating profiles tend to have a range of sections that can help guide you on what are good details of your life to share, such as your hobbies, occupation, religion and workout habits, for instance. These are good for establishing an initial connection, as either of you may be looking for someone who shares their religion or has similar goals in a relationship, such as having children.</p> <p>Your dating profile is also a chance for some creativity and to share deeper aspects of your personality. Answering the questions section in your eharmony profile, like ‘My greatest travel story is…’ is a good way to achieve this as it also provides a good starting point for your counterpart to write a first message to you.</p> <p>Other things that can help paint a more three-dimensional picture of you beyond your photos are the Entertainment section, where you can share your favorite music and movies. Or you can elaborate more on your travel habits and the kinds of foods you enjoy. These all serve to give people an idea of what it would be like to date you and be part of your life, on the side of the interaction.</p> <p>Now let’s look at some of the things you should have on your profile and the kind of content to avoid. </p> <div class="wp-block-cover" style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;min-height:300px;aspect-ratio:unset;"><span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-cover__background has-black-100-background-color has-background-dim"></span><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="800" class="wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-8533" alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile-.jpg" style="object-position:62% 42%" data-object-fit="cover" data-object-position="62% 42%" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile-.jpg 1920w, /wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile--300x125.jpg 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile--1024x427.jpg 1024w, /wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile--768x320.jpg 768w, /wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dating-profile--1536x640.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /><div class="wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained"> <h2 data-chapter-name="Dating profile dos and don'ts" class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-default has-white-100-color has-text-color has-large-font-size" id="Dating-profile-dos-and-don'ts">Dos and don’ts of your dating profile</h2> </div></div> <p>Let’s take a look at some basic dos and don’ts on your profile that can often hinder your online efforts or make it harder for people to connect with you:</p> <figure class="wp-block-table is-style-stripes-green-header"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th>Dos of your dating profile</th><th>Don’ts of your dating profile</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Do<strong> use photos that show off your best side</strong> but still an honest side of you.

Maybe you’re not getting many bites or messages back. This can often be because of a poorly constructed profile. So here’s our list of online dating profile tips that are guaranteed to help you stand out and spice up your online experience. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Make sure your dating profile is fully completed</h3> <p>A couple of photos and a short, abrupt bio tells the other person that you’re not fully invested in the process. No one likes to waste their time online.</p> <p>An eharmony survey saw incomplete profiles ranked top of members’ pet hates about profiles<sup id="rf1-7307"><a href="#fn1-7307" title="eharmony Get Who Gets You Consumer Survey 2022" rel="footnote">1</a></sup>.   </p> <p>So include more pictures of yourself, fill out your bio with meaningful information and complete all those other elements like your hobbies, interests and passions to give them a fuller picture. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Don’t make your dating profile too generic</h3> <p>We’ve all seen those dating profile examples where the profile consists of a picture with their pet, a bio that says they enjoy walking and their hobbies are cycling.</p> <p>While this may be accurate, let people in a bit more. Don’t be afraid to share those quirks and eccentricities that make you who you are. <a href="/dating-advice/finding-yourself/being-vulnerable/">Being vulnerable</a> and open on your dating profile is important. While it may not be as broadly appealing as owning a dog and liking walks, it will help you stand out from the crowd and attract the right kind of people. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">People are attracted to positive vibes</h3> <p>As human beings, we are naturally attracted to positivity. This was confirmed by a study in The Journal of Positive Psychology<sup id="rf2-7307"><a href="#fn2-7307" title="The Journal of Positive Psychology: “Are we looking for positivity or similarity in a partner’s outlook on life? Similarity predicts perceptions of social attractiveness and relationship quality”" rel="footnote">2</a></sup>.</p> <p>This doesn’t mean you have to be brimming with happiness in your profile. Rather, try to shape your profile so that it’s honest but not glum. Include pictures of you smiling and talk about the things you enjoy, not dislike. Give people the impression that reaching out to you could be a positive experience.  </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Picking the right dating profile pictures</h3> <p>This is one of the most important online dating profile tips and an area many people get wrong. We let vanity get in the way and pick our favorite photos that are outdated or poorly lit. Some people use filters, which is easily recognizable to most and ranked number two for profile annoyances on our user survey<sup id="rf3-7307"><a href="#fn3-7307" title="eharmony Get Who Gets You Consumer Survey 2022" rel="footnote">3</a></sup>. Online daters hate feeling deceived. Don’t use more than two selfies in your <a href="/dating-advice/dating/dating-profile-pictures/">dating profile pictures</a>.</p> <p>Instead, make sure you have the right lighting and get a friend to take some new photos to attract the right people to your dating profile. Remember to include photos of you doing activities so they can get a three-dimensional idea of you.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Don’t create an unrealistic picture of yourself and your life</h3> <p>The key to successful online dating isn’t volume but quality. When you over-inflate or give a warped impression of your lifestyle or achievements, you’re going to disappoint whoever you end up meeting with and might miss out on meeting the right kind of people online. People who might like the real you, just as you are.</p> <p>A good bio for dating apps is authentic, vulnerable and expressive. Let people see the real you and trust some will appreciate your actual value.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Don’t be arrogant or picky in your dating profile bio</h3> <p>People who are cynical about online dating sometimes let it show too strongly on their profile. They include specific information about the people they won’t consider, dismiss certain prospects in their bio and generally put forward an arrogant energy in their dating profile.  </p> <p>Few people will want to interact with someone so abrasive. Online dating is a social space. You wouldn’t present yourself in public that way. It’s also a mutually selective service so you don’t have to specify your preference in your bio, you can simply choose not to match with those people.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Be a little humorous but don’t overdo it</h3> <p>Humor can often be a disarming and welcoming aspect to in your dating profile bio. We tend to view humorous people as being kinder, easier to approach and more pleasant in conversation. These can be good assets on a platform that works on complete strangers trying to connect with each other.</p> <p>That being said, don’t make your entire profile a joke or it may seem like you’re not taking it seriously. It can also be off-putting as people may see it as you creating a deceptive, exaggerated image of your personality. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Project the type of person you’re looking for in your dating profile</h3> <p>There are ways to telegraph the type of people you’d like to meet without clumsily verbalizing it. This is where a filled-out bio and effective use of dating profile pictures come in handy. So don’t just include activity shots, but also ones with friends (maximum 1 though) and just you living your life. Give people an idea of exactly who they’d be meeting.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Make sure there aren’t spelling or grammar errors in your dating profile</h3> <p>You may not think grammar and spelling are important on a profile but an eye-tracking study from Tilburg University showed that language errors drew most of the attention in the text section of people’s dating profiles<sup id="rf4-7307"><a href="#fn4-7307" title="Communication Research: “What People Look at in Multimodal Online Dating Profiles: How Pictorial and Textual Cues Affect Impression Formation”" rel="footnote">4</a></sup>. So people are definitely focusing on them and one can’t imagine their conclusions are particularly positive. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading is-style-numeric">Include prompts to entice people to connect</h3> <p>When we read someone’s profile, we can get a good idea of the type of person they are, what they enjoy and the passions that drive them, but sometimes it can be hard to find a footing to start a proper conversation without the usual cliche openers.  </p> <p>Try to include something slightly provocative in your bio or leave an open question in one of the sections that people visiting can open with.
