Best Online Dating Profile Examples

It is unfortunate that so many people join dating sites but so few put a fair effort into writing a really good profile that makes them stand out from thousands of other users. I am not sure why people go through the trouble of signing up and filling all those questionnaires and then post a profile that looks like a copy of any other neutral, boring, profile full of cliches and types.

Example Dating Profile #1: Grade C+. I gave this profile a passing grade because while it’s not great, nothing about it makes it terrible. “I have been in the ——- area for a few years now and always looking to meet new people. (This first sentence says nothing eye-catching about the woman and is. The best online dating profile examples for men will get the girl to think “This guy sounds really cool! I think I’ll email him!!!” and then have them send you a message. This is the exact technique I use when writing profiles for my clients. And, depending on the pictures men have up, they get between one and 4 messages a day from NEW women.

What makes any female dating profile great is the fact that it stands out from the rest of the profiles on any given online dating site. It doesn’t blend in. It’s not generic, neutral and overly politically correct. It doesn’t describe you with overused adjectives such as “intelligent, compassionate, educated, and independent” and it is free of boring statements that say nothing such as “I am as comfortable staying in as staying out.”

Rather than continue describing what a good profile is, I want to bring to your attention real examples of three actual dating profiles from on popular site that I rated for content. I commented in parentheses throughout the profiles below what I thought of them and why:

Example Dating Profile #1: Grade C+

I gave this profile a passing grade because while it’s not great, nothing about it makes it terrible.

Profile

“I have been in the ——- area for a few years now and always looking to meet new people. (This first sentence says nothing eye-catching about the woman and is very bland, and boring). I am a very hard worker and love my job. I work a lot, but I know how to balance well. I enjoy
meeting new people and going to new places. (still, nothing thought provoking or attractive) I am very spontaneous and I love the outdoors, watching movies, dancing, and traveling. (Another cliché statement that is being used by thousands of other women) A great date can be staying at home with a movie and popcorn, or a night on the town. (This statement has no purpose whatsoever). I made myself a promise a few years ago to take a vacation somewhere new, out of state, every year. I have not been disappointed yet. I would really love to see Europe. (Finally something somewhat interesting that she says about herself).

Well, that is a little about me if you are interested say
hello and we will chat. Talk to you soon!!”

Profile #2: Grade: B

This profile gets a higher grade because it reflects on the writer’s character and her personality. It’s a bit negative and has a few red flags but other than that – it’s not bad!

“100% Italian, fun loving, affectionate young lady who knows what it takes to make a relationship work. Tired of meeting BOYS who tell me what I want to hear, make and break promises, and aren’t ready for something serious. (This woman is voicing her opinion and shows her personality early on. (Great move!))

You: Honest, mature, gentleman, emotionally, mentally, financially secure (“financially secure” is a bad move in a dating profile because it’s an immediate red flag to a guy that he might be dealing with a materialistic woman.) Knows how to treat a lady, ready for a long term
relationship (this would sound a bit too eager or even desperate to most guys. First, meet a guy, then decide what you want out of him). Please……mean what you say and say what you mean!!! (that’s a good statement).
I live on the East Coast and travel to West every week for work. Being in California 4 days/week gets lonely. (This would make the reader believe that she is not looking for anyone special, but just someone to kill time with and subdue her loneliness). I am looking to meet someone in the this area and see what happens! Relocating for the right person is definitely an option. First date….not sure!!! I am willing to entertain any reasonable offer. 🙂 (good, funny, statement that shows personality and sense of humor, she should have used more of this kind of words throughout her profile). ”

*******************************

Profile #3 : Grade: A

This is one great dating profile. It consists a number of thought provoking statements right from the beginning that show a woman’s great personality and sense of humor. It’s eloquently written, it’s concise, straight and to the point! It is free of fluff and very compelling for a guy who can appreciate this type of no-nonsense attitude in a person:

“I don’t like most guys, but… I am not interested in most guys and besides perhaps that what makes those few unique individuals that I do connect with all more special. (Great, thought provoking opener that shows a woman’s engaging personality. Myself – restless, analytical, and opinionated. I am not offended by a dirty joke and can dish out one of my own. I am independent but far from being a feminist. Sarcasm is a spice of life, so bring it on. (Guys really, really like to hear that). Timeless books and movies that make you wonder for days about whose side you are on put great flavor into many of my evenings. What’s your story? What are you greatest pet-peeves and what makes you weak in your knees from joy and happiness.”

Profile #4: Grade A+

This last profile below gets the highest great for both the content and the creativity. It almost sounds like a poem. What I particularly like about this profile is that it shows that a woman hasn’t lost faith in true love and romance but at the same time she is also realistic. The ending of it might sound a bit on a more desperate side, but all in all – maybe it’s not such a terrible thing to sound a bit desperate for love and connection if that’s how you really feel.

“I don’t know if the world is going to run forever, but I know I’m not going to be around forever!
I don’t know if I will finally meet you to warm my heart and join for a better, happier journey, but I know I can’t stop looking for you, and can’t stop calling you in my heart…
I also don’t know what life holds for me tomorrow, but I do know that we can only get older and I feel safer to get old with you. Someone to remember the days with, and to grow with.
All profiles repeat the same. Everyone is crying out to say how good they are, how cool they are, how fun they are. But how real are you, and how content are you with your real you? I’m tired of the lies, of the fakes…I want someone real! I want my “best friend”, I think this says it all!
Maybe it’s about the right time, right place, right person… can online dating be any good? We’ll see :)”

Use the above profiles as an inspiration for your own dating profile to make it more creative and more interesting. Remember, quality single guys that you are looking to meet are more picky than others. Many of them are looking for a special connection with a special woman. If you know how to and are able to communicate through your dating profile that you are not just another average girl, it will significantly increase your chances of meeting better and more interesting men online.

Need some online dating profile examples that will help you to attract the right kind of man online? In this step by step tutorial, you will learn how to transform poorly written profiles into profiles that quality men can’t resist.

Over the past decade I have supervised the creation of over 20,000 profiles. In addition, I have probably read more online dating profiles than any one man should read in a lifetime! Sounds exhausting, right? Luckily for you, all this work has allowed me to acquire a lifetime’s worth of knowledge that I am more than happy to share!

So let’s start today’s lesson by transforming some terribly written profiles into the type of profiles that quality men will be excited to respond to. And if you are looking for more actionable advice after reading this article, I put together a free page filled with some of my best advice on photos, emailing, texting, and more.

Lesson #1: How to transform the “negative energy profile.”

Let’s start by taking a look at the negative energy profile:

“I’m not here to meet anyone who plays games. And if you are close-minded, sit on the couch all day, or don’t have a job, please don’t message me. I’m not interested.”

While I think we could all agree with desires listed above, the manner in which they are presented create the image of a woman who is negative, possibly high maintenance, and potentially has baggage from previous relationships. Overall, this woman feels like a complete downer.

I know receiving emails from low quality men is frustrating, but listing what you don’t want in men won’t deter them. These low quality men either don’t care or aren’t reading your profile anyway. Ironically, negative lists will only serve to scare away the high quality men that you are trying to attract.

Let’s revise the example above into profile writing that will attract high quality men:

“If you are adventurous, active, and driven, you will definitely have my attention. If you can also make me laugh and love a spontaneous road trip every now and then, even better. It’s a little known fact that I’m an all time great at creating unforgettable road trip memories! You provide the snacks, I’ll take care of the rest! Fair enough, right? 🙂

The revised profile still expresses the same desires (a man who is driven, active, open), but this time, creates the image of a woman who is upbeat, playful, excited, and positive-minded. The personality of this woman shines through, presenting a woman that is infinitely more likable and attractive to a man. Always remember, positive energy attracts positive attention.

Lesson #2: How to transform the “boring and cliche profile.”

An example of the boring and cliche profile:

“My name is Nancy, I currently work as a Sales Director, and I really love what I do.”

If you want to attract a man who is in high demand, you can’t afford to blend in with the competition. While there is nothing inherently bad about the statement above, there is nothing great about it either. The problem is, its ridiculously boring and will instantly make a man’s eyes glaze over. Instead, Nancy should focus on using her occupation to showcase her best personality traits.

Let’s revise the example above:

“For “work” you could find me chasing down all types of new goals as a Sales Director. Not only is my job is exciting at times, but I get to have a whole lot of fun meeting and interacting with all types of incredible people every day! What more could I ask for?

In the new and improved profile example, Nancy uses her occupation to highlight some of her best characteristics. She is social, loves to have fun, challenges herself professionally, and comes across as a positive-minded person who loves life. These are very attractive qualities.

When you write an online dating profile, every word and statement should have a specific purpose. If it doesn’t, it either shouldn’t be there, or needs to be re-written.

Lesson #3: How to transform the “needy and desperate sounding profile”

Successful Dating Profile Examples

Let’s now look at an example of the needy and desperate sounding profile:

“I would love nothing more than to finally get off this site. I really want to meet a man who is smart, funny, and has a good job. If you are out there, I hope to hear from you.”

The first statement implies that the writer hasn’t had any luck with online dating. This creates the vibe of a woman who is a bit desperate to meet someone (even if that isn’t accurate). Using the words “really want” and “hope to hear from you” create the image of a woman who is needy (really want) and creates the image of a woman who is just sitting around waiting for a man to rescue her (hope to hear from you). This may not be true at all, but perception is everything.

Examples

The better way to write your profile:

“The perfect man for me would love to learn new things, isn’t afraid to let loose and laugh a little, and enjoys achieving new goals as much as I do! Next goal? Adding someone incredible to what is otherwise an extremely fulfilling life!

In the new and improved example, a few subtle changes transform the writer from sounding a bit needy and desperate for a relationship, to a woman who is confident, in control, happy, and overall a much more attractive woman.
