If you want to perfect your dating techniques, you need to get some practice. Online dating services are a great way to meet women online for this purpose. With online dating, you can weed out the women you aren’t interested in, and rejection is a lot less awkward than it is in real life. Just remember, there are a lot of guys out there in the same boat as you. What will set you apart from them is your online profile.

How you write your profile has everything to do with the sort of responses you will get. If you aren’t getting any responses, you’ll know you did it wrong. While writing a profile that gets response is an art form, it is also a lot simpler than you would imagine. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow.

The first thing you need to know is what to avoid. These no-no’s will guarantee failure. Talking about what a “nice guy” you are is the biggest mistake you can make in your profile. Making long laundry lists about yourself is boring, predictable, and completely unsuccessful. Last, but certainly not least- posting a picture of yourself leaning up against your car, with your cat, or at your cubicle? Not allowed! take these three tips as ground rules, and move on from there.

If these are examples of how to do it wrong, then how do you get it right? Let’s use some of David Deangelo’s priceless advice. For starters, use “cocky & funny” to get noticed. If you start out sounding like a suck-up, women will think you are needy and desperate. When in doubt, be funny.

David Deangelo suggests using the “cocky-funny” technique to generate interest in real life, and online. Use it in your profile and watch how well it works. Instead of writing, “looking for a nice girl to spoil” try to spin it, “looking for girl who wants to spoil me rotten.” Be sure to make it clear that you are joking, otherwise you might end up sounding like a jerk.

Maybe the most important piece of advice is this next bit. Leave out as many details as possible. I know, it sounds crazy, but believe me, it works. This is called “being mysterious”, and it means making her do some guess work. This gets her imagination going, and makes her want to know more.

And back to that profile photo: make it stand out. Know your best feature, and play it up. If you have a great smile, use it. If your eyes are your best feature, be sure to use a picture that shows them off. Don’t use a picture of yourself with other girls, or in a setting that makes you look lame or boring (with your cat or in your office). Bonus points for showing off exotic places or exciting hobbies in the background.

So, as a quick review for your profile: be “cocky and funny”, be mysterious, and use an image that generates interest. By sticking to these very simple guidelines, you will have more success with online dating than you ever thought possible.
