If you want to make a big impression with the ladies, writing an online dating profile that stands out is critical. What makes my profile stand out as a guy? Why do so many women answer my profile? I'll give you my secrets to writing an online dating profile that will make women answer your ad in droves.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Let's face it, looks are everything. I can't stress this enough! In the online dating world, you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. The first thing a woman sees when she's online is your picture. That means you need to put your best face forward. Don't grab old photos with you and your boys, or you and your ex-girlfriend and post them online. You want the focus to be exclusively on you in your best light. What I do is hire a professional photographer and get my pictures taken professionally. Yes, it costs a couple hundred bucks, but it's so worth it. They do my hair, make-up, and do the lighting just so, so that my best angle is shot. Nothing beats a professional photo.

Picking The Right Screen Name

After you get your mug done up professionally, you've got to pick a screen name that lures the ladies. As a guy, I like to think up cool names like "Smooth32", "Loverboy26" and other "cool" sounding names. The problem with those screen names is that they convey to women you're not serious about finding a girlfriend.

For instance, "Loverboy26" connotes he's a playboy and is looking to just have fun. Now this is all good if you're just looking to have a one night stand or a casual encounter. But if you're looking for something serious, it's best to pick names that sound respectable like, "NiceGuy32", "GoodChef50" or "Gentleman42". These names are respectable sounding and give women the impression that you are a nice guy (even if you're a real creep).

Only Fill In Pertinent Information

Dating sites ask us to fill out every single detail of our lives - even the parts that are no one's business, especially a girl you've never met. I don't answer all of the questions online. One reason is because if I answer all the questions, there won't be anything left to talk about on the date.

Some Questions Are Just None of Anyone's Business

I also notice that one of the questions you should not answer is "How much money do you make?" I think that question tends to draw gold diggers. I think it's important to fill in your educational background, any certificates you've earned, and any special talents you may have.

Add Some Exciting Activities You Like to Do

For instance, if you are great at swordsmanship, definitely put it in your profile. Remember, you don't want to clutter up your profile with boring useless information. I find that less is more. When I fill in my profile, I always have my professional picture taken, I fill in my educational background, and I fill in what I like to do. Now, even if I like to read books, I'm not going to put that in if I have a skill that seems more interesting, like horseback riding and skiing.

Don't say things like, "I like to go to the movies" - it's too boring. Everyone writes that. Try saying something like I like theatre or Broadway plays. Now of course I'm not saying you should say these things if you really don't like Broadway. I'm just giving you alternative ways to bring out your profile.

The Best Pick Up Line to Use

Finally, when I fill out the part where they ask me what I'm looking for, I say, "I'm looking for a beautiful, sensitive, intelligent woman, with character, depth humor and a lot of fun that I can spend the rest of my life with." Women melt over that line!
