Crafting the Perfect Online Dating Profile: Your Superstar Description Checklist

This is the second post in my series on how to create a Superstar Online Dating Profile!

Recently, a friend who just got divorced asked me to review her newly created online dating profile. After providing her with some feedback, I was inspired to create a checklist for what makes an online dating profile description truly stand out. Below, you’ll find tips on how to craft a compelling and attractive profile description that will make you a superstar in the online dating world.

About You Section

1. Avoid Long Lists of Qualities

Instead of listing out all your wonderful qualities, describe yourself in a way that helps the reader visualize who you are. Make it fun and engaging. For example:

• Do This: “I love to dance hence the title ‘Wanna Dance’ above! I am pretty action-packed and like to be playing in the game as opposed to watching it from the sidelines! I enjoy seeking new adventures for my 9-year-old daughter to experience! I’d rather be outside than indoors and enjoy camping, scuba-diving, snowboarding, sand volleyball, jet-skiing, rollerblading, motor-scooting, and vineyard hopping!!”
• Not This: “I am fun, kind-hearted, creative, adventurous, and a well-traveled man.”

2. Tell a Story

Share a memorable experience or a future aspiration. This helps others connect with you on a deeper level.

• Do This: “I am a BIG Live Austin Music fan (used to frequent the Black Cat and Antones on Guadalupe when I was young), but have been out-of-pocket the last few years with what’s the latest and greatest band to see, so I would love to get my Austin groove back by someone in the know!”

3. Sprinkle in Some Humor

Make your profile entertaining and fun to read.

• Do This: “Also, let’s be honest…size does matter… I have a REALLY HUGE heart ;)”

4. Avoid Testimonials

Don’t include what your friends, kids, or even your pets think of you. Share your qualities and stories from your perspective.

• Not This: “My friends say I am the life of the party.”

5. Stay Positive

Negativity is a big turn-off. Keep your profile upbeat and optimistic.

• Do This: “I’m a glass-half-full kind of person, always looking for the silver lining and new adventures.”

About Who You Are Looking For

1. Stay Positive and Humorous

Rewrite any negatives into positives with a touch of humor.

• Do This: “If you are independent, financially stable, and mentally stable, please apply! Needy, negative, and depressed might want to check out sadandmad’s profile!”

2. Use Imagery

Describe your ideal partner in a way that paints a picture.

• Do This: “I’m looking for a VERY confident and making-it-happening man, who knows what he wants and goes for it with all his passion—who is up to big things in the world! Must love to snuggle and kiss for hours on end! Must be adventurous and very silly! I’m up to big things in my life and would love a partner to share that with and to support each other in accomplishing what we are out to create!”

3. Avoid Generic Descriptions

Be specific and personal in your descriptions.

• Not This: “My hope is to find a fun-loving woman with an adventurous spirit, who is intelligent, creative, spiritual, sensitive, and compassionate. Someone with soul!”

General Tips

1. Check Your Spelling and Grammar

Use your browser’s auto-spell checking feature. If words are underlined in red, right-click and select the correct spelling.

2. Be Authentic

Authenticity is key. Be true to yourself and honest about who you are and what you’re looking for.

By following these tips for the description section of your online dating profiles, you’ll attract more interest and have a much better chance of finding a meaningful connection. Happy dating, and let me know how it goes!
