If you decided to join a dating site and find a dating partner - the love of your life - from Russia or anywhere else, here is how you can attract women or men by efficiently filling out a dating profile.

Photo

       The first thing any woman or man will pay attention to on a dating site is your photo. If you are a lingerie model or a bodybuilder, you might have no problem with that at all. But most of us are far from perfection and we need a “little something” special to draw everyone's attention. Here are some tips:

        Try to avoid pictures taken with a cell-phone camera. A small picture of low resolution can show that the person is too conscious about his or her appearance.
        Do not take picture in the bright day-light as it reveals all the physical defect of the skin and hair. Soft, subdued light and colors will complement any skin type and improve the appearance.
        The best pictures come out when the person is not posing, when they seem to be taken by surprise. If you have such pictures, they should be the first ones you post on a dating site.

       Filling out some details about pictures in a dating profile (where and when they were taken, who is with you in the picture) will draw people's attentions and improve your chances for better communication.

Age, height and weight

       The second thing anyone will check is your age, height and weight. If you do not specify those, consider your profile useless – this information is important for both women and men. Do not lie or misrepresent this information when filling out a dating profile. These parameters should be precise and accurate. Tastes differ and no age, height and weight characteristics can be considered perfect. There are women that like older men, as well as there are men who like petite and buxom women.

Languages

       Don't forget to specify which foreign languages you speak. If you are lucky enough to find someone who speaks the same language or one of the languages you speak, you may not even need a translator.

Children and Social Status

       If you have children, do not hide them from your virtual dating partner. There are many single parents who are looking for someone like you. If you are married and just looking for pen pals, you should make it clear in your profile, otherwise you will simply confuse other people whose goal is to find someone for marriage.

Hobbies

       Hobbies are very important. When choosing a partner, it is essential to know which hobbies he or she has. If she loves cats too much and has about 20 in her house, you may think twice before writing her. On the other hand, if you enjoy painting and meet someone interested in art, you two may become two halves of one heart.

Requirements

       Do not specify too many requirements and do not expect too much from your online dating partner. Anyone will be more interested in getting to know more about you, than seeing that such statements as “I don't like skinny guys” or “She should have long hair” leave them no chances. If you do want to specify some requirements, describe moral qualities and values that you would prefer to see in your partner, rather than physical appearance and material status. Also specify such important things as bad habits and sexual preferences, but try not to scare someone special away with too high expectations.

Profile text and headline

       Make your profile headline and text original and funny. A smart humorous comment in the headline can be the main bait of a dating profile because it shows the witty mind of its owner. Good luck in your search for a dating partner!
