Here are a few tips to get you started:
1. Are my pictures the absolute best they can be?
The picture is the first thing that people look at and most people will not view a profile unless it has a picture attached - I certainly will not go out of my way to contact someone if I don't know what they look like - it just seems odd to talk to a blank picture.
Make the effort to get some good pictures taken - as good as you can afford. If your budget is big, get some professional pictures taken in a studio, I always recommend a broad portfolio of photographs including: A photo of you dressed casual, a photo of you dressed trendy (not compulsory), a photo of you doing something adventurous (recommended), and finally a photo of you doing something family orientated or even walking your dog (highly recommended!) as this shows your caring side. This portfolio will appeal to a wide range of people and show that you have both a wild side and a caring side which is what a lot of women are looking for.
If your budget is nonexistent, get dressed up and get a friend to take some pictures of you using a good quality camera. This can be just as effective at getting attention and some people prefer the real you as opposed to the studio; it's completely up to you. I prefer a mixture of normal and studio.
If you are going to take anything away with you from this page, then take this: I cannot emphasize enough how important your pictures are, first impressions are everything and you only get one chance at a first impression with your photo, make it count.

2. Does my profile reflect my personality?
If the answer is no then change it, do not pretend to be someone that you're not when it comes to online dating. Honesty is the best policy when it comes to internet dating as it is very different to 'face to face' dating. Think about it this way, you have been talking to a great girl, attractive, good job, no commitments; great right? Then you meet this great person and it turn's out that the picture was photoshopped to death and 10 years old anyway, they have 5 kids and work at Tesco/Walmart stacking shelves!
Now I'm not saying that this is a bad job to stack shelves, my point is that it is the opposite job to the CEO job at Tesco/Walmart that they told you they held! The moral of the story: be honest and be yourself. What would you do if you met this person? I know what I would do; I would leave as soon as I could. I would feel betrayed and I would feel embarrassed.

3. Is my profile entertaining and light hearted?
Your profile should show you to be a fun person who loves life; no one wants to date Mr Serious. Make your profile fun and humorous, don't be afraid to make fun of yourself, it shows that you are confident and you don't take yourself too seriously.

4. Am I pitching myself to the right audience?
Pitch your profile correctly and make sure you are aiming it at the right audience. There is no use in receiving 5 messages a day from women if they are just not your type or not who you're looking for right now in your life. If you're looking for an outdoors type of woman, state that in your profile write up! Then back it up with reasons why, i.e. because you like to go out walking on the weekends; trust me, the couch potatoes will leave you well alone!

5. My Occupation is boring, how can I make it sound better?
This is something that everyone seems to get wrong. If you are a computer geek don't say I'm a computer technician - this is boring! You need to big yourself up! Think of an achievement that you have made lately and use this to your advantage.
Example: 'I was recently part of a team who designed an award winning website for one of the largest corporations in the UK/USA' (you looked after the designer's computers and maintained the servers as a technician.) Whatever you have done lately, even if you only did a small part of the input to the project, you were still a part of it so you can take some of the credit right?
If you have not done anything impressive lately then my question to you is, why not? The opportunities are there and they will definitely not come to you. You need to go out and find opportunities that will give you a better lifestyle and make your life better as a whole.
'Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine' -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Online Dating Advice:�Where do I start?!
Join the largest Online Dating Site you can find!
There is no point in joining all of these small Online Dating Sites as they just do not have the numbers to make it worth while.
You want to join an Online Dating Site that has: (a) Been established for a long time (b) A lot of potential suitors, and (c) Filters and easy search facilities to make your life easier and make the whole experience a lot more fun.
Online Dating Advice: Utilize the search and filter facilities
You should take full advantage of the filter facilities on offer to you when searching for potential suitors. This can save you hours of time as you will not have to wade through all the people who just do not match what you are looking for. Most good sites will offer filters for all sorts of things from age, height, body type, occupation, hobbies and a whole host of other things! One point to note, do not be too picky when it comes to meeting people for dates. Some of the best dates I ever went on were with people who I just didn't think I would click with but I had an amazing time!
Make a profile and start sending some messages out!
The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll meet your perfect partner. What are you waiting for? Forget the TV for one night, this is your future happiness we're talking about here!
