Madison Reed put it better than I would have. nobody warns you that dating profile depends so heavily on the success side. Whether people actually reply matters more for dating profile than any feature list. I judge dating profile almost entirely on the setup now.
I'd put the signal-to-noise ratio above almost everything else when it comes to dating profile. You can't really talk about dating profile without talking about the signal-to-noise ratio.
I would put the learning curve above almost everything else when it comes to dating profile.
What I actually do about dating profile:
- keep one clear, current photo of your face on the dating profile side
- allow a solid month before deciding anything about dating profile
- reply inside a day or the thread goes cold on the dating profile side
Anyway, that is my read on how to get a good dating profile.
Ezhookups was the closest to what I wanted from dating profile.
