Your profile photos on a dating app will grab a woman’s attention, but what you write also matters if you’re looking for a long-term relationship. It’s not always easy to write about yourself, especially in so few words, but making an effort can go a long way. It will also be a great conversation starter. If you’re having some trouble figuring out what to write for your dating profile, keep the following tips in mind if you’re looking for a long-term partner.
Don’t Complain About Women
For example, avoid saying, “It seems like women don’t want a nice guy.” or anything along those lines. Writing anything negative about women when you’re actually trying to attract a woman is basically telling her to swipe left.
Don’t Write, ”I don’t know what I’m doing here.”
If you don’t know, maybe you should wait to be on a dating app until you figure it out.
Avoid Putting a String of Compliments About Yourself
It’s great that you’re confident, but a string of compliments about how you’re a nice guy, intelligent, sophisticated, etc, isn’t coming off how you think it does. It can often make it sound like you’re overcompensating.
Mention Things You Love
You don’t need to write a giant paragraph, but mention some things that make you happy. For example, if you love listening to live music, hiking, and hanging out at the beach, those are a few activities worth mentioning.
Mention Children
You should ideally mention in your profile if you have kids, want kids, or don’t want them. If you’re looking for a long-term relationship, it’s important to find a woman whose viewpoints about children currently match yours.
Be Honest About What You’re Looking For
If you want a long-term relationship, then make sure you state that. Saying that you’re not sure or not putting anything at all won’t help you if you actually want something long term.
Don’t Write, “I’m convinced dating apps are a scam.”
But you’re on one?
Avoid Cliche Quotes
A woman wants to know what makes you, you, not read some random quote you stumbled upon that you used as a placeholder for your dating profile.
Add Necessary Explanations About Your Photos
Depending on the photos you post, you may want to add some brief explanations. For instance, if you post a picture with your female cousin, state that she’s your cousin.
Don’t Put ”Just Ask”
Your lack of effort is a red flag.
Don’t Leave Your Profile Blank
Leaving your profile blank isn’t a good idea if you’re looking for a long-term relationship. It demonstrates not caring enough to write even a couple of sentences.
Leave Out Any Mentions About Drama
Everyone has drama in their life at some point; it’s part of being an adult. Writing something like “I don’t have time for drama” or “I don’t want drama” doesn’t make you come across as fun-loving and carefree but rather like you’re not going to stick around for a long-term partner if they need you should something significant happen in life.
Don’t overthink what you write in your dating profile. Keep it simple and stay positive. If you’re looking for a long-term relationship, give women a legitimate, genuine reason to speak with you. Inspire a conversation. What you write could lead to you meeting a truly remarkable woman. That’s worth taking the time to figure out what two or three sentences you should write.
