The key to writing a good online dating profile is being honest and specific. Write a brief headline that sums up your personality and interests. Think about your ideal partner and what they’d be most interested in. For example, you could write, “A creative guy who loves to play music and travel.” In your bio, mention your hobbies and interests to paint a picture of your life and how you spend your time. Avoid clichés like saying you enjoy hanging out with friends and long walks on the beach. Try to be honest about yourself rather than writing what you think potential partners will be attracted to. That way, you’ll get better matches that are more suitable for you. For more tips from our co-author, including how to choose some enticing profile pictures for your dating profile, read on!
