Finding Love Online - How to Get Noticed

By Sarah Love


Dating in real life is difficult enough, but how about dating online? Have you ever considered trying your hand at finding love online? Maybe you should. As Christian Carter will tell you, there are a lot of advantages for women when it comes to online dating.

Unlike in real life, online you can do extensive screening of a large number of men, by skimming their profiles. This gives you a lot of control that does not exist face-to-face. What's more, you can create a profile that will attract the type of man you are looking for, so you don't have to waste time with men that are wrong for you.

Your online profile needs to stand out from the crowd, if you want to be noticed. Most profiles are predictable and uninteresting- just read a few to see for yourself. One way to make yourself stand apart is to illustrate your personality by telling stories instead of describing yourself. This will show that you are creative, and will be a refreshing change from the usual run-of-the-mill profile.

Another thing you are going to want top do is to set up an email account that is specific to your dating account. This should not be linked to your personal email account in any way. It will help you to know exactly who each response is coming from, as well as creating a layer of protection between you and your profile. You want to be able to delete it, need be, without it affecting your personal email account.

As important as what you say is what kind of photo you post. Men are visually stimulated even more than women, so you need to make sure your photo sends the right message. Play up your best features, without being dishonest. Don't focus on your cleavage or legs, unless you want to screen out a bunch of creeps who are only interested in one thing. Post a photo that says something about who you are and what you like, as well as showing off your good side.

When you write your profile, you want to sell yourself. One major consideration is to avoid being negative. Don't make lists of things you don't like, as this may make you sound like a nag. Instead, discuss what you love, things that make you laugh, and how you entertain yourself. These are the sorts of things that will make a man want to meet you.

Don't trash talk your ex, or other women. This just makes you look insecure and unappealing, and is likely to scare off Mister Right.

These simple tips are sure to get you more responses than you know what to do with. Just be patient, and have fun as you make your way towards finding love online.
