The number one mistake guys make is writing about their traits rather than demonstrating their traits, Jakovljevic says. There's a difference between saying "I'm a really funny guy," and sharing a hilarious story on your profile. It may sound like dating advice you'd get in elementary school, but these principles are what dating coaches live by when it comes to creating dating profiles--they're what separates the dating success stories from everyone else. But according to dating coach Laura Bilotta, "most people miss this important point." One of her clients didn't list his height at all; another listed hers as 5'11" even though she was just 5'3". These little details might seem unimportant--and they can be if you include them in your dating profile. But dating experts agree, if you want to appear as the man or woman of your dreams, it's important to portray yourself as such on dating sites. "Most people don't even mention their height," Laura Bilotta says. "They're just like, '6'2." And women especially will list their weight and say they're X number of pounds--but that doesn't tell me how fit you are. I need visual evidence." Here's a checklist dating experts and daters alike swear by: • Include at least one clear photo where you can see your eyes. This is key for both men and women—it shows the person isn't hiding behind sunglasses or a shadowed face. • If you have a dating site profile where you can list your height, include it in the correct place on your dating profile. It's expected that you will find this information about yourself elsewhere, but Bilotta says too many men don't even bother linking to their dating profiles or uploading their height--and then are surprised when women never write back to them. • Keep dating sites open at all times so that if one of your matches messages you, you'll see it immediately. This way dates won't ghost on you because they were waiting for an indefinite amount of time before hearing back from you--you'll already be aware of the interest, and it gives more point-of-reference concerning your potential date. Plus, having dating apps open at all times gives you the chance to actively check for potential dating prospects even when you're not dating online. • Also, if you have a dating profile open and someone messages you with an interest in dating, take two seconds to send them back a friendly message with something like "I'm glad we matched--tell me more about yourself." It's important to express that you're interested in learning more about them without leading into anything further and turning them off (more on that in a bit).
