“Keep it updated with new and interesting content of your life. Say you’ve recently been on an interesting trip or tried a new activity that you found you really enjoyed, add it to your profile – you never know, you might have this in common with a potential new partner.”— Charlotte Bridge, elitesingles.com
“Never leave things blank. If you can’t put the time into filling out a simple dating profile, why would an interested guy/gal assume you’d put the time investing into getting to know them?”— Ashley, eharmony.com
“Don't treat your profile like an autobiography. While things like your hometown and alma mater are certainly important, you may want to save all of the gritty details for the first date.”— Madeline Stone, businessinsider.com
“Leave the novel at home. Online dating profiles should be brief. My recommended word count its 125 - 150 words on a traditional dating profile and two sentences on a mobile app.”— Julie Spira, huffingtonpost.com
“Get a friend to help you write your profile. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself.”— Francesca Rice, marieclaire.co.uk
“Don't use a laundry list to describe your personality or say what your friends think of you. Instead create sentences that give a true feeling of who you are. For example, 'One of the most fun trips I've taken was white water rafting on the Colorado River—that was so exciting!' instead of 'My friend…”— Ronnie Ann Ryan, yourtango.com
“Don't list what you don't want. Avoid writing about the men or qualities you don't want such as 'no couch potatoes' or 'must be honest.' Men will see you as being critical and this detracts from your fun quotient.”— Ronnie Ann Ryan, yourtango.com
“Don't do deep quotes. If you want to list a quote that showcases your personality be picky about it; sometimes a reference to Arrested Development will bring in less douchey guys than quoting Dante. It's hard to come off deep on Tinder. Let your flirting communicate it, not your initial page.”— The Editors, marieclaire.com
“Never skip the bio section! It's your opportunity to tell your potential matches more about yourself - your hobbies, your interests, what you're looking for.”— Rosette Pambakian, cosmopolitan.co.uk
