So, you decided to join an online dating site. Now you have to fill out your profile. Here are a few tips to get more responses. First and foremost, be honest. If you hype yourself up to be something you are not, you will end up attracting the wrong types of people. Plus, if you do ever meet your responders, they will find out the truth and think you are big liar pants.

Answer all questions that the profile asks. Even if you do not have an answer, put something in there."not interested in subject, NA, etc." Nothing says "not motivated and lazy" as a half written profile.

Next, take your time in writing any essay type items. Be honest and include as much information as possible. kids, pets, movies, music, books, all of your interests. Also include your dislikes. Your dislikes can weed out a whole bunch of unqualified people. Use spell check to avoid the uneducated look.

Always include a photo. Pick good clear pictures, so the lookers can see what you look like. Don't use old picture that make you look younger than you really are. Use as current of a photo you have, maybe take a few just before filling out the profile. Never use glamor shots, unless you normally look like that. That is just false advertisement. Guys, forget the picture of you with out a shirt showing off your six pack. Yes a six is impressive, but it makes you look like a show off. Don't have someone take picture of you posing, candid shots are much more realistic, and it shows a little bit of who you are. Upload as many pictures as allowed by the site. You pay the same for 1 picture as you do for as many as allowed. Might as well take advantage of that.

So there you go, you are on your way to the perfect profile. Good luck!
