According to research, 97% of men will give up on online dating in the first 3 months. Why does this happen when online dating has great potential for those that try it? Lack of results is the main cause of quitting. With the right knowledge, skills, practice and some good online dating tips, the chances for success and better results, would be far greater and would give men a reason to keep going. Let's look at a few online dating tips to boost your success.
1. You simply must have a good photo of yourself. Women will judge you in less than a couple of seconds based on your "look". First impressions are very important, and you only get one shot at it. If you get this part wrong you will "lose" them and they will click away… to be gone forever. If you look presentable, happy and fun, you will attract more clicks on your profile. Make sure that it is a recent photo, in focus, and without your hat and sunglasses on.
2. In advertising, the best way to capture attention is to have a catchy, benefit-filled headline. It stands to reason then, that you should create a catchy headline for your profile. But first, do a bit of research and look at all the other guys profiles… you'll probably notice that they are mostly all the same. Do the complete OPPOSITE and be creative to come up with your own unique style.
3. With your profile, the worst thing you can possibly do is to give away your whole life story. If you do this, you will lose all sense of mystery, intrigue and interest. Instead, briefly touch on a few of the important key points, aimed at creating this mystery about you. You want to create a bit of mystery here to get women wondering and thinking about you. Also, if your profile is too wordy it will be skimmed over or skipped altogether.
4. When you send out emails to women, you want to make sure that you personalize each and every email. Otherwise, it may seem like a generic, template email. Make sure you have a catchy subject line and include her name. This has been shown to increase opening rates for emails that include the persons name in the subject line. Mention something about her that she said in her profile and even tease her a little bit… which is the opposite of what most guys would do.
5. Don't try too hard. Just be laid-back and casual to show that you're not needy or clingy. Again, this is the opposite of what most guys do.
6. Don't forget to have fun and just enjoy the journey… don´t take things, or yourself too seriously. You'll actually come across as being much more attractive to women if you have this mindset.
It's clear to see, that if you can learn and apply these online dating tips, it will not only give you the most effective online profile, it will make you stand out from the same old boring crowd and give you a greater sense of confidence as well. After you are onto a winning combination of profile, approach and interaction with women, just tweak it occasionally and see if you can improve it further.
