06 Oct 10 Online Dating Profile Tips That Will Drive More Traffic To Your Inbox
Has your online dating life been a bit on the lackluster side lately?
Perhaps you are receiving emails, but not exactly the type of quality emails that you would like to be receiving.
Whatever your situation is, there is always room for improvement. Today I’d like to share with you 10 online dating profile tips that will not only drive more traffic to your profile, but tips that will improve the quality of the men who are reaching out to you as well.
1. Show as much diversity as possible
The more diversity your profile shows, the more quality men will come your way. This applies to both the photo gallery and the words you write in your profile.
If a quality guy can choose between a one-dimensional woman, and a woman who has a multitude of hobbies and interests, he is going to choose the latter every time. It’s your job to communicate that you are the latter.
2. Show you are open
Nothing turns away a man more than somebody who seems close minded and set in her ways. When you craft your profile, be sure to communicate that you are willing to try new things and are open to new experiences.
This not only makes a man think that a life with you will be exciting and fun, but communicates you are easy-going, down to earth, and have a positive mindset.
3. Avoid lists of what you don’t want
One of the most important online dating profile tips I can give you is to never incorporate lists of what you don’t want in your profile.
You may have deal-breakers such as height, income, etc., but going out of your way to declare what you don’t want will only create a negative impression.
For example: “If you are not looking for a serious relationship, under 5’7, and do drugs, please avoid this profile.”
Of course these expectations are reasonable. But this creates a negative image, comes across as negative, and shows potential baggage.
You will never scare off the guys who you don’t want to message you by creating a list of deal-breakers in your profile, that comes with the territory of online dating, but negative lists may just ironically scare off the guys you do want.
4. Show some sex appeal in your main profile picture
Guys are tremendously visudal. There’s no way around this. And sex appeal will go a long way towards igniting more traffic to your profile.
Now when I say sex appeal, I mean looking sexy in the classiest possible way. You never want to look easy or trashy. This will have guys messaging you for the wrong reason.
But try to find that one picture of you looking your absolute best. Maybe it was at a friends wedding. Maybe it was a girls night out. Maybe it’s even that perfect selfie you took.
Regardless of where it was taken, a picture with sex appeal will dramatically drive more traffic to your profile.
5. Smile into the camera
Studies show that men are exponentially more likely to initiate conversations with women who flash a big bright smile into the camera. Use this data to your advantage.

6. Structure your profile writing properly
See how this article is structured? Your profile should be very similar.
Short paragraphs that are easy on the eyes. People are much more likely to read what you have to say if it is broken down into small pieces. Big paragraphs rarely ever get read.
7. Keep things light and fun
One of the most effective approaches you can take with your profile is to just have fun with it.
Sure you want to focus on your likes, passions, etc., but most profiles populating the internet are all too serious. Being silly at times, injecting your unique personality, and just having fun with the process is a breath of fresh air.
This will make men think that you possess the same great qualities in real life as well.
8. Show excitement towards the process
Nobody wants to date someone with a negative outlook. There’s nothing worse then profiles that being with statements proclaiming that they are not big fans of online dating or they are not sure if this is for them.
Positivity, positivity, positivity. What could be better than a profile that ends with, “I couldn’t be more excited with what the future will bring and would love to meet a special guy to join me on the journey. Care to join me on this amazing journey through life?”
Now that’s the type of positivity that is contagious!
9. Bait the reader into a message
One of the best methods you can implement is baiting the reader into a question. For example, if I were to write in my profile, “I love to travel,” it’s not only a cliche statement, but extremely boring as well.
As an alternative, if I were to post, “It’s never a matter of if I’m traveling again, it’s when. The only question is, what’s next on your bucket list and where are we going next?!”
In the latter example, I’m not only being playful, but I am baiting the reader into answering the question. The same strategy can be used by adding unique pictures to your profile as well. Anything that actively attempts to ignite a response is profile bait.
10. Avoid all red flags
Nothing kills traffic to your inbox like sending red flags. Some of the most common red flags I usually see are:
- Negative energy
- A misguided picture
- Using language that does not come across as confident
- Unintentionally displaying baggage
- Appearing close-minded
- Over-sexualizing your profile
- Not properly communicating what you are looking for
- Appearing desperate, lonely, or needy
