Dating Tips: 5 tips to make your profile more tempting
|

It's said you can never really know a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Fortunately, guys, you can know (or at least learn) how to maximize your appeal to women without walking a mile in their five-inch stilettos. Try these tips to make your profile more tempting and watch your inbox overflow:
1. Express yourself
Women love a communicative man. When we see a profile that just barely squeaks by with the minimum characters required, we get a mental image of a guy parked on the couch, eyes glued to the TV, responding to our every question with an uncomprehending (and incomprehensible) grunt. It's not much of a fantasy to build on. Come on, open up a little.
2. Make us smile
You don't have to be a stand-up comic, you don't need a grab-bag of jokes ... just share your humorous, ironic or even slightly warped takes on life with us, and we'll be all but slain. Seriously: If you can win our smiles, you can win our hearts.
3. Reveal something
Simply listing your favorite sports, movies or songs won't give us a sense of the real you. The more dimensions of your personality you put on display, the better your chances that one of those qualities or quirks — and you never know which one it will be — will strike a chord with the woman who's perfect for you. Dig beneath the surface stuff so your love of camping, modern art, be-bop — whatever — tells us something about who you are, not just how you spend your time.
4. Ask about us
Too many guys' profiles demand a photo — some even insist on a full-body photo, which implies you're sure we're all hideous and lying about it — and too few express curiosity in who we are. Ask about our interests, beliefs and passions. It takes only a line or two to demonstrate that you're a good listener and not a self-absorbed lout, and that's something that will appeal to any woman.
5. Be upbeat and optimistic
The actor who first quipped, "dying is easy; comedy is hard," was lucky: He never had to endure 21st century dating. It's not easy, and every single — online or off — knows it. But don't let the heartbreaks you've sustained in your romantic history squelch your romantic impulses, your ability to be vulnerable with someone who deserves your vulnerability or, most of all, your hope. By exposing those qualities, you have your best chance of meeting the woman who's been hoping to meet you.
