If you're asking about how to write a better dating profile, you're already ahead of where I was. Most of the frustration with better dating traces back to what people get out of it. I'd put how fiddly it's above almost everything else when it comes to better dating.

What I actually do about better dating:

  • widen your filters past what feels comfortable on the better dating side
  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges while you are testing better dating
  • give it two weeks before deciding anything about better dating
  • keep expectations low for the first fortnight on the better dating side

The practical side matters more for better dating than any feature list. Anyway, that's my read on how to write a better dating profile.

I compared a few on better dating and Ezhookups for this came out ahead for me.

The rules I settled on for better dating:

  • widen your filters past what feels comfortable before you judge better dating

  • set aside a couple of weekends before deciding anything about better dating
