“Most of the men I ignore are not very pleasant with terrible pictures including tattoos, bathroom pictures and half-naked. I’m put off by bad spelling and using old used-out chat that I have heard off every other loser. When someone nice comes along, it’s such a pleasant change and I make the most of it.”

“If I don’t like something about someone who has written to me I just won’t reply, and if he sends me another letter I usually delete without reading it in case it depresses me. I hate sob stories and miserable people who try to get sympathy by telling you who has just jilted them.”

The list of unsatisfied women on dating sites could fill this and several other articles, but the point is, that women are really looking to find a man, and will respond very quickly if you send them the right signals. You need to get rid of the obvious turn-off points in your profile and this will increase your Email replies by more than you can imagine. Those dates are out there, but you need to perfect your online image.

So what are the main things that a male can do when writing his profile, to ensure that he attracts female members to his page? Here is some tips.

Make sure that you upload a good photo of yourself. The best would be a simple smiling face shot. Aim to look friendly (not sexy) and don’t put more than one or maximum of two with your profile.

When writing your profile, try to sound confident and up-beat and make the information that you give out about yourself very general and humorous. Nobody likes to contact someone who is depressed so never try to get a date by using sympathy, as this will not work.

You have to realise that when a female member is scanning a page of potential dates, she will spend only a few seconds on each one. It will be something that you say that will initially interest her. Try to be as unique as possible when writing your profile and spend time perfecting it. Look at other peoples profiles and see what attracts you to a particular one. If you like it, copy it but personalise it with your own personality.

When sending out Emails as an initial approach, make sure that you use the person’s name, and ask them questions about their profile. If you do this, you will usually get a reply as most people love answering questions about themselves.

Finally, Online Dating Agencies are fun, but you need to practice and spend time perfecting a style that will work for you; don’t think that you can achieve success by just writing anything, because there is a lot of competition out there in Cyber Space.
