How to Make Your Online Dating Profile Attract the Right Man
The stigma of online dating is gone. In fact, dating is now the most popular way couples meet. Research from Stanford University found that in 2017, 39% of couples met online, up from 22% in 2009. The numbers are probably even higher since COVID has kept us socially distant.
Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenberg says that online dating has displaced relying on your friends to fix you up.
If you’re hesitant to try it, maybe it’s time to ask yourself why.
If you’ve already tried online dating but had less than optimal results, maybe your profile is part of the problem.
You don’t have to be a great writer or creative genius to create a profile that will attract good men to contact you.
But there are some important tips that you should follow if you want to put your best foot forward online:
1- Be Positive
Too many online profiles include lots of negativity which is exactly what you want to avoid if you want to meet a great guy. Of course, you may want to make it clear that you aren’t looking for a hookup or a workaholic, but it’s better to focus on what you are looking for so they can tell if they meet your criteria.
