How to improve your profile

Thoughtfully Answer All Of The Questions
When you are filling out your profile, thoughtfully answer all of the questions.
Incomplete profiles are a sign that you are not a member or not serious about
finding someone. You may also want to consider changes to your profile from
time to time. Are you getting closed out more often than you expected? Look at
your profile to see if there is something that is putting your matches off.
If one of your matches misinterpreted something in your profile, check to see if
you can make it a bit clearer. Your Alldate experience may also refine your
thoughts about the man you are looking for. You may want to update your profile
to reflect that.

 
Spelling Counts
In Alldate, sadly spelling counts. If your profile has a number of spelling
errors you can come off as sloppy or uneducated. If you are not sure about the
spelling of a specific word, you can use the website www.dictionary.com for
help. You might also ask a friend to proofread your profile for errors in
spelling or grammar.

Be Honest And Straightforward
When you are filling out the Alldate questionnaire, filling out your profile or
communicating with a match, it can be tempting to be less than candid.
Throughout your Alldate experience I would urge you to be as open and honest as
possible. If you are 6' 2'' don't say that you are 5'2'' If you are 42, don't
say you are 32. The most wonderful thing in the world is to be loved for who
you are. The greatest blessing is for someone to know your every fault and love
you all the more. We are all flawed human beings, no one is perfect. Look for
a man that will love you for who you are. The best way to find him is to be
completely honest throughout your Alldate experience.

Mention Physical Activity
If you are physically active, be sure to mention the activities that you enjoy
in your Alldate profile. If you haven't been getting out quite as much as you
would like, you might mention activities that you would like to share with your
future partner.

Non-Smoker
If you are a non-smoker, be sure to mention that at the end of your profile. It
is a good selling point for other non-smokers.

Children
Already having children presents an additional challenge to a new relationship.
Most women who have children give some hint of that in their Alldate profile.
If you do not have any children, you might want to mention that at the end of
your profile. That could be a nice selling point for a man that hopes to have
children of his own someday.

If You Are A Very Busy
If you are always on the go and you will not always be timely in responding to
your Alldate matches, ask for patience from your matches in your profile. You
may want to use something like this:

I try to respond to all my Alldate matches in a timely manner, but occasionally
I am away from my computer for a few days. If I don't get back to you right
way, I hope my warm smile will encourage you to be a little patient with me. I
just might be the woman you are looking for...

Post Pictures In Alldate
Alldate allows you the flexibility to decide when you are going to share your
picture with an Alldate match. Regardless of when you decide to share your
pictures, have the pictures already posted on Alldate. Profiles without
pictures are often assumed to be non-members. If you don't have any pictures
posted, you should expect a significant number of your matches will immediately
close out the match. You can try to minimize that by mentioning why you haven't
posted a picture in your profile.

Select Your Pictures Thoughtfully
When you sign-up with Alldate you should select a few nice pictures of yourself
to post with your profile. You should not underestimate the importance and
impact your pictures will have on your Alldate success. If you don't have any
nice pictures, have a friend take some pictures of you. You may ask for advice
from friends on which pictures to post. I would suggest:

A fun, casual picture, the everyday you (message: I am fun and approachable)

A nicer picture possibly from a special occasion (message: I am a beautiful
woman that you will be proud to be seen with)

A picture from an outdoor activity (message: I am fit, active and I enjoy the
outdoors)

At least one picture that gives a sense of your figure (message: I take good
care of myself or I am a work in progress).

At least one close up picture of your head and shoulders. You should set this
picture as your primary picture.

I would not suggest:

Using any pictures that do not accurately show what you look like today.
Pictures of you 15 years ago or 10st ago will not help you find love.
Any Alldate matches that you may meet will feel deceived and that will
immediately destroy any chance for a relationship.

Using any pictures from your webcam. If you don't have access to a digital
camera, use a film camera. The print photos can be scanned into your computer.

Using any fussy or dark pictures that make it hard to see you.

Using any very close up, head only pictures.

A picture of you with your very attractive female friend (You should be the
star in your pictures).

A picture of you with another guy (Even if he is your brother, it is not a
good idea. You want your potential matches to imagine what they would look
like next to you.).

A picture of you with another person that has been cut out of the picture (You
will leave your matches wondering who else was in the picture. That is a
distraction that takes the focus off of you.).
