For a profile on a dating site to attract attention, you must be honest, fill in the “about yourself” column in sufficient detail, and refuse to take a selfie. British dating specialist Frances Keller spoke to the Sun tabloid about ways to improve her dating account.
According to the expert, when filling out a biography, you must remember about the “magic formula”: 70 percent of the information should be devoted to the owner of the profile and 30 percent – to another person. “In the last 30 percent, don't list everything you want from a partner. Instead, focus on the type of person you are looking for and the values they have, ”she explained.
Keller drew attention to the fact that applicants should also give up selfies, smile more often, not use filters, put at least one full-length photo and appear in the frame with a pet. “A person makes an opinion of you in one fortieth of a second, so your photos have to be good. No selfies, no pouting lips, no sunglasses or hats. Do not hide your face, it makes you dishonest, ”the expert noted.
The specialist pointed out that as soon as it comes to acquaintance, it is necessary to unobtrusively and in an original way start a conversation in order to discern the character and aspirations of a person. “Don't say,” Hello, how are you? ” people get this kind of message 20 times a day. By asking the person a question, you give them an easy way to start a conversation, for example, “I love to cook. What's your favorite food?” or “I can beat anyone at chess, do you want to play?”, – said Keller.
The expert notes that the first dialogues should not be held for too long and it is necessary to try as soon as possible to set a date for the meeting. “Research has shown that the longer you talk to someone on the Internet, the less likely you are to make a date,” she concluded.
Earlier, a resident of Australia, 19 years looking for love and went on a thousand dates, gave advice on finding “the one”. Anna Svoboda, a 41-year-old native of Poland, said that she started looking for a couple on dating sites at 22. Having gone on a thousand dates, the girl, as she stated, understood a lot about men. She noted that they are often more vulnerable than women, but they have to hide their vulnerability due to imposed stereotypes.
After many years of searching, the girl met “the same one” – friends introduced her to her future husband. The girl considers a similar outlook on life to be the key to their happy relationship.
