If you are looking for Mr or Miss Right or even just Mr or Miss Right NOW there are a few tips and guides to follow to boost your success rate. I met my Partner on an online Dating site, one of the Best and not one that Claims to have over 1.3 million Members... here is some food for thought.

1. Australia at 30 June 2009 was 21,875,000 persons
2. That would make a ratio of about 6% of all Australians are Members ( I Think NOT )
3. How Many are fake?
4. How many Are people double ups that forgot their password?
5. Of the 21 odd million only about 65 % are of age to use most Dating Sites thats about ( 14,187,500 )
6. that make a massive figure of about 10% of all Aussies that can have joined the site (WOW)

Sorry got side tracked....Please read below for tips which will hopefully boost your online dating succes.

1. Choose a good name.

 

Your name will be displayed in your personal profile. So, if you choose something like "hardcoreguy" or "babygirl", you are sure to mess up your chances. Make sure the name you choose suits you and IS NOT SLEAZZZY. Try and Keep your Name short ( Makes it easier for others to type in the Chat rooms. ) If the name you really want is taken try to rearrange it. Don’t add numbers e.g. if you tried "DJ-TOM" and it was taken don't do "DJ-TOM1" this makes it too easy for others to confuse you with the other Tom  instead try "TOMdj" or "DJTOMeffx". If you are unsure of a name try something humorous getting your potential partner to laugh from word go is always good. If you use two words be sure to use CAPITALS to make it clear e.g. "JoeCool" and not "joecool". And lastly don’t use names that are Self-Degrading  like "UglyFred"  kind of defeats the purpose and no-one wants to be with someone who doesn’t appear to like themselves.

 

2. Be Confident without Bragging.

 

This is a fine line but will get you a long way.... Don’t write things like "I’m new to this" or "Just feeling the water" or for that fact anything that shows a lack of Confidence. You will do far better if you portray yourself as an outgoing confident person, you know the saying “fake it till you make it”. Don't write "I’m a fun guy" everyone writes that be as original as possible. Always be Positive and cheerful in your Profile, rudeness, negativity and  nastiness will not get you far ( Might even get you booted off i-Voo-Doo). Play your strengths, everyone has a good trait or 2, if you don’t tell people what those traits  are they will never know. Be upfront and as honest as you can (It isn’t fun when you meet and feel deceived, like meeting someone who is 55 and has claimed to be 25).

 

3. Hand select your words.

 

Be Class not Ass, Cheesy and Sleazy will not get you far. Don't write a resume make it fun not formal use everyday English. Read others profiles get a feel for it. Don't mention Religion ( This will not Boost you success, Google the research and you’ll find this to be true).

 

4. Eye Candy

 

We offer a range of options in the i-Voo-Doo Profiles to customize you profile… and who ever said you can’t buy good taste didn't know ( Pimp my Profile ) we offer a custom service to Photoshop the backgrounds in you pictures to improve them and to mod your profile to make it please the eye of the viewers. A good Photo and well setup profile is a must. If you can't do it yourself then get us to do it for you.

 

5. Window Shoppin.

 

Everyone does it... we browse through the profiles looking at the pictures not really reading the username or tagline. So be sure to place a good photo up as your main. To stop identity theft make sure it is not a clear full face shot as your main others in your profile are fine, and don’t use photos with more than one person in it to stop any confusion. Taking a picture of yourself from above is great just be sure the floor or background is clean.....If you need us to help you with your picture please ask us.

 

6. Last but not least.

 

Log in daily to get you profile at the top of the searches or become a "Fortune Teller" this Membership level has the advantage of always being at the top of the search lists. Don't be too shy to contact others, mails are better but at least send a "Greeting". Put your pic  into the photo competition... Go into the chat rooms take part in the forums and blogs be seen and heard, don't be a quiet mouse and expect everyone to read your mind and come to you because they won’t (unless of course you have a drop dead gorgeous picture up). Become a featured member be noticed.

Stop or kick me if you have read this profile before...

"I am a happy fun loving person who loves good times. i have a great sense of humor, I like long walks on the beach, a good conversation, dining out with a fine wine.

I am looking for someone who is fun and can make me laugh."

The above is an example of 90% of all dating site profiles worldwide. Follow my tips and you will better your chances of success here or on any dating site. Try to be descriptive like....let’s see... instead of writing "I like walks on the beach" try "the beach is my second home and strolling on it at dusk is a favorite way to end the day and enter the night."

If your profile is not getting hits read through this again and rewrite your column again if needed……. don't blame the site or the potential candidates for your love take a deep breath and read your own profile and ask yourself.... would you answer to it?

Be very clear on what you are looking for.... it's like you are looking for a Sports car and come home with a rusty push bike, be careful to be clear as your profile is not just about getting hits and responses it’s about getting what you are looking for as that is why we are all here.

Try to change your tag line regularly as well as your main photo as people like variety and seeing new things about you, this will keep your profile crisp and fresh and most of all it will keep you interesting to your potential ‘dates’.

Don’t put too many filters in what you are looking for like age, hair colour, height, eye colour, and so on..... try to keep it to a 3 or 4 filter limit like age bracket - personality - location as you will cut your chances in half by putting too many criteria’s in.

When Contacting someone use, this is in particular for the guys " What's up" not "Hi" or "hello" try how's it doing" instead of "hey". As a Male PLEASE do not be put off if a Female does not answer as many women get well over 50 Greetings / Mails a day so they will most likely never answer all of them....Even more reason to be original and have a good header.

Cheers

Enjoy i-Voo-Doo......
