For the first time in your life, you have decided to register on a dating site. You are wondering how to fill out your profile. And you are right to give importance to it. In business jargon, we say: You never get a second chance to make a good first impression and everything is done in 20 seconds to arouse the positive or negative feelings of the other person, especially on the Internet where competition is fierce and decisions are made very quickly. So you understand the importance of optimizing your profile… With this discovery in mind, we are going to give you our tips for developing your popularity rating and finding love quickly.

1.choose your nickname well

This is what we are going to see first, with your photo, whose good definition is important If you want to maximize your chances of visibility in this wild mass of profiles, you’ll have to activate your grey matter and use your imagination to stand out and arouse curiosity! Your nickname must not be too basic or too weird, that is to say that you must show originality but not show off either! It should set the tone and describe you in one word (this word can connote for example a trait of your personality or your passion). If you really can’t think of an original idea, don’t bother, it’s better to keep it simple and real than weird and tell yourself that the curious will go and see your picture anyway 😉 Be careful, for security reasons on the web, never use your name or any other personal data.

2.a photo MUST be taken and of good quality too!

Let’s not fool ourselves: Yes, physical appearance is important, especially on the Internet where there is a lot of competition and no one knows you from Eve or Adam. Imagine, it’s like if you were looking for an apartment: if the photos are not attractive and representative, you won’t want to go any further. And if you decide not to put any picture, it’s a waste of time! So put all your assets on display and take a recent photo (it goes without saying), clear and sharp of your best profile to dazzle your future conquests so that they only see you. A small detail that is important: no need to cut corners and put aYour description: stand out from the crowd!

The mistake would be to say too much or too little, so it’s difficult to gauge… Writing your description will take a little time: first, you need to do your introspection to identify your search criteria, both what you want and especially what you absolutely do not want. Your message must be representative of your personality, your hobbies and your motivations in order to attract to you the profiles that correspond to you. No need to write a novel, a few sentences are enough (usually 400 words max) and we’ll even tell you, don’t reveal everything in order to arouse curiosity and then you’ll have plenty of time to develop during your exchanges. Very important: stand out! It is in the first sentence that you will arouse or not the interest. You can use the ultimate weapon of seduction: humor! And let’s hear it for the myths!

4.the little details that kill

Some details that may be insignificant for you will literally do you harm, namely:

A completely weird nickname like a childish or boastful one.

An unnatural photo, retouched to death or a pathetic photo with a scowling face or a weird situation (yes, we don’t all have the same sense of humor…!)

Spelling mistakes (especially for women).

Telling your problems on the description: the dating site is not your shrink. Don’t forget that you are in the process of seduction so always think PO-SI-TIF !

Myths: in this game, you will quickly become disappointed because sooner or later you will tire your contacts who will eventually get tired of you and it will be well done for you!

Be careful: Never give out your name, your personal address or any other sensitive information and don’t forget that in the meanders of the web, you don’t know who you are dealing with! So take it easy, be careful…
