This is an urgent message for any woman using online dating sites.

Writing an online dating profile is a chore, mainly because you are thinking of writing a featured profile rather than writing about yourself that men would love to know about. Okay, that’s pretty vague too, but you should do some research before you just spit out your resume on your online dating profile!

Revealing some of the worst online dating profile mistakes most women are probably making and some of them are instant deal killers!

write more than necessary
Most profiles on online dating apps tell a story that no one cares to read beyond the first line. The first and foremost thing women need to know about men is that they don’t like to talk too much, in the case of online profiles, write too much. Men are known to have a short attention span and don’t want to know so many details, that’s what getting to know you is all about. Men like short and to the point dating profiles, just like ESPN football recaps!

list writing
Are you going shopping at the supermarket? “I am looking for a man who likes to travel, dogs, food, children…”. You write a list of everything your ideal man needs to be and everything you are. Of course you have a list, but that shouldn’t be on your dating profile! Save it for the time when you really start thinking about a guy, your dating profile of him isn’t even the first step!

be pretentious
Showing off and talking about oneself are two very obvious differences that anyone could notice. Just as we women don’t like men who brag and are pretentious about their so-called life, men hate pretentious bitches too! You don’t need to have a flashy wardrobe, makeup or screaming cars from your profile and photos. The last thing you want is for the guy to find out who you really are and then walk away. Show who you really are and you’ll attract the right kind of male traffic on every online dating website.

Being a Generic
Yes, this point is the one that scares all women and then we start doing all the wrong things to get our profile noticed. On any online dating app, look at 10 random profiles right now, I bet you’ll find amazing similarities! They all want to show that they are fun, adventurous, love to travel, eat out and of course take walks on the beach! It’s like the hobbies section of every resume: reading, music, traveling!

You may be doing this, but don’t make it sound so generic, make the ordinary extraordinary. For example, “I’m adventurous” tells me nothing, however, typing “I’m taking flying lessons” has my attention. To stand out from the crowd online, you need a profile that is unique and engaging.

The profile is all about whetting your appetite and giving men enough to want to know more about you. Avoid these instant offer killers and consider rewriting your profile with these open no’s in front of you. These are sure to build you a profile with all the yeses!
