In this blog post, we will write the second one of our online dating articles and it will be about your photo and your profile on any dating site.
As it has been written before: A dating profile is the most important text you will ever write.
If you haven’t read the first post in this mini-series yet you need to do that first. Otherwise, you can continue to read about it below…
Dating Profiles: Let People Have A Look At You
So, let us begin this blog and put the focus on you: How do you look?
We don’t expect you to send us photos (please, don’t) but we want to ask you this question since that is the first thing people see in real life and on dates in the real world, so why shouldn’t they?
A text, like this one, that is very anonymous.
Let’s face that fact first.
Dating profiles on any given dating site that only has text on it tends according to our dating coach (and we haven’t been able to check the facts but we trust him on this) to have fewer visitors than the profiles with a picture.
This picture has been blurred for privacy reasons.
Fewer visitors to your profile decreases your chance to get out on a date.
People love pictures and even more videos, which you, by the way, can upload if you join our website.
Videos have an even higher number of visitors than the profiles that only have images on them on any given dating site.
In this day and age, we strongly suggest that you record a short video of yourself where you discuss a few of your interests and who you are looking for.
These tips can’t guarantee you a 100% success but it will give you an even higher chance of success.

Dating Profiles: Writing A Great Profile
One of the most crucial texts that you ever will write in life is a dating profile, which we have covered in great detail in a number of articles.
There are two major mistakes people tends to do on dating sites.
Either they tend to write nothing or they write too much and general about themselves so they just come forward as nice, decent people. Nothing special at all!
Besides the general tips found on our FAQ-section, there are a few more:
1. Be specific.
Write down the primary reason why you have joined the website.
Is it because you want to have fun, meet new friends or maybe finding the true love that you will marry?
You might not find a lot of people if you only are interested in serious relationships compared to if you only wanted to have fun.
The members of our website are there because they are Christians and wants to find other Christians to date.
2. Some things are better left for later.
You don’t want to write every detail (like why you failed on that math test in the 5th Grade) of your life, some are better to reveal on the first date, later on, or maybe never. Never share your personal data on dating sites.
If people are asking for that, they are probably just trying to scam you, as we covered in an article last week.
3. The most crucial rule is: Have fun!
Even if you have joined a dating site, you should have fun too. At our website, the game-area is very appreciated among our members. Why?
Because there they can relax and be themselves.
Dating is hard work but you need to relax and have some leisure time.
We will cover this to an even greater extent in the next article in this mini-series.
