If you are looking to meet singles on a dating site, at some point you will start scratching your head; how do I write a compelling dating profile? First you will most likely think about a catchy profile handle, AKA your user name, or the name you go by and someone can find you on a dating site. Contrary to the popular belief, your profile user name is not as important as the rest of your dating profile.

If you are a man looking to meet women on a dating site, here is how it goes when she looks at your dating profile:

First, she will look at your pictures. Then, if she is not completely turned off by your pictures, she will read your dating headline. Dating headline is the first step in your online dating site presentation that a woman will see after your pictures. It’s almost like your dating advertisement, so never underestimate the importance of a well-written dating profile and especially the headline. You may think that no one reads dating profiles and that typically people base their decision to contact you on a dating site solely on your pictures.

This is far from the truth. In this day and age when online dating has become widely socially acceptable, and finding your soul mate online has proven to be the most effective way to connect with quality singles, the expectations of a quality profile have gone up considerably.

Think about this; online dating is no longer a numbers game. It is the quality not the quantity. No one wants to spend countless hours and days communicating with people who are not what seems like that perfect match, thus put your best foot forward when constructing a dating profile, starting with a great dating headline.
