Online Dating Profiles
Recent studies by the University of Chicago and supported by research by other studies say that people tend to be attracted to others who are a similar age, have around the same income and have a similar body type and appearance.
While this may sound superficial, it's about all anyone has to go on at first. So while it's possible, and some would say easy, to lie when you put together your dating profile, honest information about yourself will achieve a better result for you and increase the likelihood of an appropriate match. Once you have made initial contact with a potential partner, you and that other someone can start to get to know more about each other. By being honest in your original dating profile you will not have any false barriers to overcome, or uncomfortable explanations to give later. This will make the first couple of meetings or dates go much smoother.
While you get the opportunity to write a short piece about yourself for your profile, many sites also provide a questionnaire that probes into every facet of your life, body and sexual preferences. This second type of profile, completed by the online dating organisation, helps to facilitate that first contact.
Sometimes, the questions asked are multiple-choice, other times they are more free form. Some questionnaires are straight forward, while others will dig a little deeper to find out more about the real you. A few select sites use some very sophisticated software, based on psychological research. This type of research helps discover things about you that even you didn't know.
The second profile can assist you and others to narrow down the choices. It details more about your own interests and goals, and prospective partners can use the report as another tool to decide whether to invest the time to get to know you better. It is also often used by dating organisations to assist with automated matching of partners.
This extra research and report analysis is one of the biggest benefits of Internet dating sites. With MySpace and similar social networking sites now available, the ability to meet and exchange information with and about people is very easy today. Online dating sites remain extremely popular as they provide participants with a real opportunity to find their perfect match or someone to date and have some fun.
Online dating sites both specialize and go well beyond the social networking sites. They allow for those who are specifically looking for a companion, or a deep romantic or long-term relationship, to find one another. They also offer a much deeper set of information about you and prospective partners that many of the social networking sites can't offer.
While the two profiles can serve as a mask, to hide your real self from others we would highly recommend that you use the opportunity to be open and honest. Your profile can reveal you to potential soul mates. The result is dependant on you. |
