03: Don’t forget to proofread your bio. Be honest. If you read someone’s profile that is full of grammar mistakes and clunky writing, you’re going to move on to the next person immediately. It’s always best to proofread your dating profile multiple times so that your profile is easy to read.

04: Don’t be shallow. Everyone wants to find someone that they can have an interesting conversation with. You don’t want to come off as utterly shallow on your OkCupid profile, as it will make potential partners think that you will be someone they will have to suffer through a conversation with. As important as an incredible profile picture can be, that alone will not attract great prospects to your profile. You have to show people that you’re interesting and have a full life. Share who you are as a person. What are your dreams? What do you care about? Attractive people with excellent pictures will be a dime a dozen on OkCupid, but someone who shows their depth won’t be nearly as common. You can stand out against the grain and make everyone want to send you and intro!

05: Leave your negative energy at home. Having a bad attitude is a turnoff for anyone who reads through your profile. OkCupid provides plenty of sections where you can talk about your life, so be positive! For example, let’s say you’re filling out the “I spend a lot of time thinking about” section. Don’t talk about the things you think about that make you miserable; talk about the things you love! Talk about your passions! It’s always exciting to see the glow in someone’s eyes when they talk about what excites them. So use the profile writing questions to the fullest and show them your glow!
