How to write the perfect profile

Online dating is a fantastic way to get to meet people who you would not ordinarily get to meet. 

It is a way to quickly get in touch with those who share common interests with and to find a potential partner when your lifestyle would not normally permit you to meet different people.

However in order to boost your chances of success, it is necessary to write an engaging dating profile.

Your profile will determine whether people decide to gloss over you or get in touch. It will also determine what type of people are attracted to you.

Of course it goes without saying that the more information you have on your profile, the more people are likely to contact you.

On the other hand, you do not want to turn your profile into a three page essay – it'll be a waste of time anyway, nobody will read it.

So the key to it all is to get the balance right. In order to keep it as concise and to-the-point as possible, you should first start with a list of your hobbies, likes and dislikes.

It is your interests that will match you up to a potential partner.

Furthermore, it is also a good idea to include a list of things you are looking for in a partner, and the things you do not want.

However you should be careful not to allow your profile to descend into a rant – as this will put women off.

Finally, at the risk of sounding too much like a career coach, be sure to write down what makes you unique. 
After all, what will differentiate you from all the other people out there? Even if your interests are a little "out of the box" don't be afraid to write it down because it is this that will match you up with those who have a similar hobby.
