3 Tips for Setting Up Your Online Dating Profile
Most of my aunties and uncles have sadly all been divorced.
I hate to say it but this really isn’t uncommon in this world, and I can
imagine the thought of divorce actually puts so many people off the idea of marriage.
However, I have recently helped one of my aunties set up her new online dating
profile after going through her divorce a couple of years ago. It is time for
her to get back in the game – yay!
I’m unsure as she wanted my help with this, as I am
definitely not an expert in over 50s dating, but I
certainly wanted to give setting up her dating profile a good go, in hope that
her Mr. Right comes along over the next few weeks.
Here are just a few tips from an ex-Tinder user on how you can
get the most from your dating profile:
Use Sites Suited to Your
Demographic
There are so many websites out there, that you want to use the
one that is right for you. I often associate the likes of Tinder and Bumble to
the younger category, something that I would use if I was single and ready to
mingle.
The auntie that I talked about above used a website called Single and Mature which is targeted
at the older demographic. This is helping her find people who are roughly the
same age, rather than finding someone who is looking for a cougar. There are
plenty of sites suited to you, so it is all about finding the right one!
Don’t Include Too Much
Information
There is nothing worse on a dating profile than being
overloaded with information. At the end of the day, that is what dates and conversation
is for. Only include the basic information such as first name, where you’re
based and maybe a hobby. It shows a sense of mystery.
You don’t want someone to be put off from you by your likes
and dislikes. If there is something unusual that you are into, then let this
come up naturally in conversation rather than broadcasting it all over the
profile. Hopefully, your prior charm and conversation would have been enough to
not scare them away!
Don’t Be a Catfish
If you include photos of you when you’re a little skinnier, had
a better hair style and not so many spots, then horrible, judgmental people
may turn up for a date and say you catfished them and you’re not as hot as you
are on your profile. I hate to say it, but people are actually this mean.
If you include natural and recent photos of you, then your
potential future partner knows exactly what they are getting into.
I used to catfish people by including photos of myself looking
skinnier than I was. I found that doing this really made me lack confidence when
it came to actually going on the date, as I definitely knew that I didn’t look
quite that good any more.
At the end of the day – they should like you for your
personality and not your looks. I know it is easier said than done, but who
cares if you’ve gained a little extra chub over the past few months, and who
cares if your skin is looking a bit bleh?
