Looking for firsthand experience with how to get a good dating profile rather than a listicle.

What I actually do about dating profile:

Quick thoughts on how to get a good dating profile, for whatever they are worth. You cannot really talk about dating profile without talking about the signal-to-noise ratio.

My checklist for dating profile:

  • meet somewhere public and busy the first time when it comes to dating profile
  • set aside two weeks before deciding anything about dating profile
  • ignore the match count and watch the reply rate when it comes to dating profile
  • budget two weeks before deciding anything about dating profile

I judge dating profile almost entirely on whether it gets out of your way now. Two people can have opposite results with dating profile purely because of the hit rate.

Building on what Denise said, most of the frustration with dating profile traces back to how quickly you get going. Nobody warns you that dating profile depends so heavily on whether it actually works.

The honest tradeoff with dating profile is whether the users are genuine against convenience. If how often it goes somewhere isn't sorted, dating profile will not go anywhere.

Take that as one data point on how to get a good dating profile, not gospel.

  • read the whole profile before you send anything while you are testing dating profile
  • fill the profile out properly, not half way at least where dating profile is concerned
