How to Make Your Dating Profile Stand Out

Tue Nov 04 2025

Experts say having more than two clear photos of yourself can really boost your chances.

First Things First: Photos

  • All photos should be of you.
  • No anime, no scenery, no group shots.
  • Just you, looking like yourself.
  • Ensure your face is visible. No side angles or hiding behind objects.

Think of it like this: you want people to see you, not guess who you are.

What Makes a Good Photo?

  • Passport-style shots won't cut it.
  • Show yourself doing something you love:
  • Cooking
  • Gardening
  • Rock climbing
  • Whatever it is, let it show your personality.
  • Keep it classy. Mirror selfies with too much skin? Not the best idea for serious dating.

Adding Fun Facts

  • Adding fun facts about yourself can make a big difference.
  • Even one prompt can double your chances of finding a match.
  • Don't just say you're a Virgo. Tell people what that means to you.
  • Make it interesting.

Dealbreakers

  • Things like religion or relationship goals make sense.
  • But height or education? Maybe not so much.
  • People change. Careers evolve.
  • Don't miss out on a great match because of strict filters.

So, there you have it. A few simple tips to make your dating profile work harder for you.
