How to Write Online Dating Profiles for Women
Whether interested in casual dating or a long-term relationship, online dating is a great way for women to meet prospective new people to go out with. Because someone only has access to your profile to decide whether they'd like to meet you, it is important to make your profile represent you well.

1
Upload pictures of yourself. Your face should be clearly visible in at least one photo. The other one or two photos can showcase more of your personality by showcasing you doing an activity you like or in a location you traveled to. Online dating without photos is much more difficult. People can tell a lot by a photo. Avoid overly-racy photos, and choose ones that show you at your best.

2
Fill in the required information about yourself and who you seek honestly. Many online dating sites use this information to match you up with other singles. The more accurate you are with factors like age, religion and children and how important these things are to you, the more you increase the odds of finding a good match.

Use the fill-in-the-blank questions to showcase your personality by being specific. Avoid vague descriptions of yourself like "My friends think I'm funny," or "I'm pretty creative" or "I like to try new things." Instead, use witty specific bits of information to demonstrate these traits. For example, share some of the new things you've tried lately, or write your answer in a creative way or answer the question in a way that will make someone laugh.

Keep your profile brief enough that it does not appear daunting when someone opens it up because it contains so much information, but include enough information for someone to get an idea of who you are. You don't need to fill in every fill-in-the-blank question (leave a little mystery), but be specific and thoughtful on the ones you have filled out.
-
5
Publish your profile after you have finished it and are pleased with your results. Avoid publishing (making it public) if you haven't finished it yet. If someone looks at this unfinished version, they may not check back once you have finished it.

We don't tell many people cause they look at us funny...but by husband and I met online. We would have NEVER met otherwise and we're a perfect match. And neither of us are weird (well, maybe a little...). Seriously, we are both professionals who didn't have time for finding someone using the usual methods. You can find love online! Great article!
