Online dating profiles ‘can say a lot’

Single soldiers may want to put considerable thought into creating their online profile, as these first-impression details can say a lot, it has been suggested.

Writing for the Times Live, Paige Nick indicated women can be quickly put off a guy should his profile not be up to scratch.

The reporter noted she will not be inclined to date fellas who adopt silly user names on the medium, nor will she want to meet chaps who cannot spell.

She observed: "If you've managed to reach 37 and you still think this is how you spell "horni" and "frend", then I'm not sure we're going to be right for each other."

Blokes who admit to owning too many pets – such as four cats – are also unlikely to receive much positive feedback, Ms Nick added.

Dating guru Amy Schoen recently advised guys to avoid internet faux pas, such as selecting photos that do not portray them in the best possible light.
