What Women Want: Online Dating Profile Tips for Men

Gents, your online dating profiles act as your resume, so it's essential that you get them right if you're to attract the woman of your dreams.

Women want to know that you can spell, that you’ve got a sense of humour, and a brain.

Writing to attract the opposite sex can take some practice. Badly written, semi-literate character-sketches just won’t cut it. A lot of women will take one look at it, and instantly move on to someone else. Make sure you proofread your profile, or have someone else read it for you.

You want to come across as confident and successful, but not big-headed. Mention what your job is, but don’t brag. Show that you’re a warm-hearted guy and not a Neanderthal.

Don’t lie. You want to put your best face forward, but don’t tell fibs. You’ll only get found out later if you meet up with someone, and she discovers that,

a) You’re not a neurosurgeon, and

b) That six-pack you’re boasting about is really a one-pack.

Be funny. Wit wins you a lot of brownie points. If you can make her laugh, you don’t need to look like Adonis. Don’t just parrot tired old, sexist jokes, let your sense of humour come through in your writing.

Read other men’s efforts, take note of what the common cliched "dating" phrases are. Then use something else to describe yourself, something original, that expresses who you really are.
