From the moment you post your dating profile online, be authentic. It attracts the right people to you. Instead of meeting people who are attracted to an aspect of yourself that isn’t genuine, you’ll meet other members who share the same values, interests, and goals. You won’t be left wondering how you met a person who clearly wanted something different than what you wanted. You’ll have a much easier time forming relationships with people who are like-minded. When filling out your online profile, don’t be afraid to answer the profile questions honestly. Put up pictures that accurately portray who you are today. Don’t use photos from the distant past. Take clear headshots and a few full-length shots doing the things you love to do.
