Top 5 Must Haves For your Dating Profile

  1. Amazing pictures-current, well lit face, and full body.

  3. Something original to start a conversation about.

  4. Clarity about what you are looking for-casual or long term committed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Creating a Great Dating Profile

1. What kind of photos should I include in my profile?

Use recent, well-lit pictures that show your face clearly and at least one full-body shot. Choose photos doing things you actually enjoy—because they reflect your real lifestyle and spark conversation.

2. Why shouldn’t I include group photos?

Because they’re confusing. People don’t want to play “Where’s Waldo?” when checking out your profile. Make it easy for someone to focus on you, not guess which one you are.

3. Is it really a big deal if I use an older or more flattering picture?

Yes! If your photos don’t match how you show up in person, it creates instant distrust. Your goal isn’t to get anyone to swipe right—it’s to attract the right match. Authenticity is magnetic.

4. What should I write in my profile bio?

Keep it specific, upbeat, and honest. Share what you’re looking for (casual or long-term), what lights you up, and a little flavor of your personality. Proofread it—and if in doubt, ask a friend (or AI) to help tighten it up.

5. Why is it important to avoid negative language in my profile?

Because negativity repels. Phrases like “no liars” or “don’t waste my time” make you sound jaded, not empowered. Focus on what you do want, and your profile will feel more inviting and confident.
