Useful tips when creating a profile
Do you know that interesting profiles with a picture and extensive information attract 20 times more interest than poorly written ones without a photo?
We would recommend putting your real age and the most recent picture on the profile. It does not have to be professional picture, natural ones attract better reaction. At the end of the day this is how you look in real life and this is exactly how your future partner will see you.
Take your time to write a description. Try to write what you think. Your profile is your digital self – make it as close to your real self as possible.
Other members would like to know what your expectations are. Try not to be too precise, leave a bit to chance but still give a good impression of your ideal match. It will help to avoid people whom you are not really interested in at all.
Fill in all the additional criteria which you think are relevant to you. This will help us to send you updates with more accurate matches and also will give very useful information about you to other members.
