7 Ways to Make Your Online Dating Profile Irresistible

5) Make your intentions and desires clear

You can stand out (and save yourself a lot of time) by saying something useful about the type of relationship you desire.

• Whether you are looking for casual dating or something more serious, make that obvious. However, if the latter applies, avoid coming on too strong.For example, it may be a bit intimidating if you say that you are specifically searching for a wife, but it is less daunting to read a profile that describes a person who is looking for a committed, loving relationship with someone who provides both friendship and romance.
• If you are interested in a less traditional relationship style (such as an open relationships), make this clear.
• Be careful when stating specific traits that you find appealing. For example, while it is useful for people browsing your profile to know that your strong political ideals would prevent certain women from being a good match for you, a laundry list of traits that you dislike will make you appear arrogant and overly critical. Straddle the line between acting like you would be interested in anyone who offers and indicating that no one is good enough for you.
