Getting Your Online Dating Personals Right

Chemistry.com Tip: Creating online dating personals are important because they are the portal to who you are as a person and whom you might best make a match with. However, it’s important not only to create one, but it’s important to get these online dating personals right. Here’s some advice to get you on the right track.

1. Choose your username wisely. Selecting a username like “BoringGirl23” or “StudMuffinIAm” doesn’t make for an attractive profile.
2. Don’t inflate components of your profile. In other words, if you’re responding to a questionnaire, don’t say you’re a social butterfly if you prefer to spend nights at home. If you’re posting information about yourself, don’t say you’re a successful triathlon runner if you can barely run a mile.
3. Don’t post a less than flattering photo of yourself. This may be obvious, but posting photos that are blurry or appear too staged aren’t as effective as a clear, flattering snapshot of your face.
