There are many ways to get a dating profile wrong, and far fewer ways to do it right. But when you do get it right, you stand out. And when you stand out, you can potentially get more matches who are interested in the things you’re interested in. At least, that’s the hope.

Of course, it’s not always easy to strike profile gold. You may see profiles you like regularly, but sometimes it’s hard to tell what makes them pop. Today, we’re going to show you some good dating profiles to copy or at least help you make an inspired profile for yourself.

Here are seven good online dating profiles to copy and make your own:

The Genuine Profile

Hi, I’m new here, but here goes nothing. I’m looking for late night heart-to-hearts, authentic people, and the occasional glass of red wine. I prefer to take things slow, but if it feels right it feels right 🙂

I work as a nurse at Sedar-Sinai hospital, so I’ll be able to take care of you as long as you don’t get jealous that I have a four-day weekend every week.

The key to my heart is honesty, open communication, and loyalty. If you’re interested in getting to know me, tell me about the last thing that warmed your heart.

The Trail Guide Profile

I was born in a national park (yep.) and you get bonus points if you can guess which one! Things that I love: hiking, squirrels, trail mix, camping under the stars, sand between my toes, bears (they’re basically big squirrels).

This last year I went to 12 different national parks in my van. Here’s to another 12. If you’re looking for your Carmen San Diego, you found her. Pick two: beach, mountain, forest, desert, or dessert. If you guess my combo, I’ll take you out. If you guess wrong, you have to take me out 😉

The World Traveler Profile

Just got back from the Czech Republic and I’m already raring for the next trip abroad. My passport is stamped almost front to back with little space to spare, so if you’ve got a suggestion on what should fill the remainder shoot me a message!

Best Travel Memory: Riding camels across the desert in Jordan.

Online Dating Profile Examples For Females

Worst Travel Memory: Camel chewing off a clump of my hair in Jordan. Guess they hadn’t seen grass in a while.

I’m seeking someone to hug and hold hands with in front of famous European landmarks for Instagram (3+ years of experience required). Please respond with relevant job materials to be considered.

The Hobbyist Profile

I love to make things! I play music, paint, dance, and, yes, I know how to work a pottery wheel, so reenacting the Patrick Swayze “Ghost” Scene is not totally off the table (if you’ve earned it).

I spend my weekdays working at a nonprofit tutoring kiddies. Any other moment I have is spent frolicking in high ceiling museums and indulging the aforementioned conceits.

Hit me up for concerts, coffee dates, or your favorite pho spot, but be prepared to talk about your life outside of work and partying puh-lease. Toodles <3

The Extravert Profile

So, the things you need to know about me are: I like to have fun, I talk a lot, and I have a big, big, big laugh, so if you’re self-conscious about people looking at us in the bar…well, just don’t be.

The ideal first date is for drinks, exchanging some personal fun facts, then dancing (please tell me you dance, doesn’t have to be good, just confident). Disclaimer: I have a lot of friends, and they’re not going anywhere. BUT you’re more than welcome to join the group. We don’t bite!

I’m pretty much down for anything, as long as it keeps a smile on my face, which isn’t a tall order. If you’re there, it shouldn’t be a problem 😉

The Athlete Profile

Tennis, running, hiking, weights, swimming, soccer, you name it. I’ve been wearing cleats, so long they’re actually just part of my feet now. Sorry if you live in a shoes off household [shrug emoji].

I’m active and you should be, too! Sports are fun, and I’m looking for a teammate to share in the fun in the long-term, so I need someone who can keep up. If you’re into it, you know what to do. And don’t worry I don’t take gym selfies…usually.

The Joker Profile

Hi, I would like one [job], please. I would be an asset to [your company] because I am skilled at [skills] and have much leadership experience at [working.]

Voted five times potato peeler of the moment, at my last gig. If you’re looking for somebody who will take initiative and make fries when life gives them plain ol’ taters, I’m your guy. Email for further inquiries: starchkingmarv@hotmail.com

Oh wait, this isn’t LinkedIn? [potato emoji]

Writing profiles are hard, of course, so sometimes it’s good to start with a formula. If you had to include three basic elements, write a short paragraph about you, one about who you’re looking for, and one about your ideal date. Good smiling photos and the occasional joke also help. Once you got that down, you should be good to go. Good luck!

After you read advice on writing a great online dating profile to attract women you should be ready to apply this advice and write your own great dating profile. I am a big fan of learning what’s a good through making a contrast between good and bad.

So, lets look at a few typical examples of bad profiles:

“I am not good at writing about myself, but my friends say that I am intelligent, professional, educated and ambitious. I like sports and good wine. I am looking to a meet an intelligent, beautiful woman for dating and relationship.” – at first, this looks like a well-written profile by a guy who seems to have head on his shoulders. However, it has one major flaw that will make many women skip over it. It’s way too typical and generic. It looks just like a thousand of other profiles. There is nothing “catchy” about this profile – there is nothing that would compel a reader to stop and respond to it.

Lets look at another bad profile:

“I went to school in the east coast, but now I work for a major software company where I work up the corporate ladder. I very busy. I love hiking, watching baseball, and bbq on weekends.” – the writer must be reminded that this is a dating profile – not a resume or a sales presentation in front of his human resources department. Again, this profile has a very weak beginning…. as a rule, you should never start your profile by talking about school or work, as it’s not interesting and not really relevant to what you should be trying to achieve – to catch a woman’s attention.”

“I love to have fun, party, dance, and drink of my buddies. If you wanna hang out sometimes, holler at me…” – unless you are in a fraternity, you should never come across as someone who has nothing else to him but getting drunk and leading a lifestyle devoid of any real goals or ambition.

Now, lets look at an example of a profile that will stand out through both the way they are written and their content. Some women will think of the writer of the profiles below as weird, but… ideally you shouldn’t be interested in “most” women anyway, but you should be targeting those women with your profile that you believe you will get along and will have a connection – whether you are looking for a short-term dating, a lifetime partnership or anything in between:

“About Me:

I would hate to bore you by telling you how wonderful I am by attaching to my name a bunch of flattering adjectives. I am sure that you have already found this about two hundred times in all the other profiles. I believe that words are cheap, but actions speak much louder, so why bother? So, why not start with a bad stuff – I am impulsive and restless at times, I can’t kill a fly, I cried twice like a girl when I watched “Notebook,” I cuss too often, and stay up way too late way too often. There is something about the nighttime that I find magic, if you will, which keeps me up working or hanging out aimlessly. Can you relate? I have little patience for flakes and fake people – those who smile while being angry on the inside, as I never know what they keep up their sleeve. How about you? What annoyed you today? And what made you weak in your knees from joy and pleasure?

About You:

Online Dating Profile Examples Eharmony

You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that sarcasm is a spice of life. You can spell, and are generally happy. The rest is negotiable.

First Date:

Online Dating Profile Examples To Attract Men

I don’t think it matters what we do on a first date, and I am a big fan of simplicity, so a coffee and walk would be just fine.”

This is just one example of a profile that will stand out as different and arguable better than most other pages written by guys on the online dating sites. It has a strong, unique beginning, interesting content, and a few questions at the end to “help” a woman start her response.
