In most cases, online dating services will trump free online personals hands down, exceptions confirm the rule. This is assuming you are truly in the market for a partner and don’t want to beat about the bush.

After having overcome the usual hurdles, which range from natural modesty to too much self importance, you finally have an active paying membership to an online dating service, maybe even two.

This means you have decided to advertise yourself through online dating services and the inevitable moment comes when words have to be conjured that fit in the profile box. The neatest trick is to remind yourself why you are paying: you want to reel in the man of your dreams.

Five cardinal rules on how to best cast out your net:

1) Be brutally honest.

No need to paint any other picture than the REAL YOU, unless you want to attract deception. This is especially true for online dating. If you dislike smokers and you are an animal lover, mention it. No need to attract an allergic smoker. If you do a lot of sport, avoiding a couch potato might be best.

2) Invest in hiring a professional photographer.

Your picture can say a thousand words and men are visual creatures, so it will be the first thing they see. A survey also proved that profiles with pictures get 120% more response. Some online dating services will provide a list of local photographers offering this service, use one of them: it is an investment you will not regret.

3) Write about the things that make you unique.

If you have a degree and appreciate debating philosophical issues, you really want your future partner to be able to interact with you. Or if you are a spiritual person, you want him to understand you need your weekly meditation sessions instead of complaining about your lack of availability.

4) Mention what is vital to you in your life.

While pursuing an online date, going beyond first impressions, appearances and superficial things also means you are advertizing you are not about to fall for someone who does not share your values. Sharing the same values will go a very long way to cementing a durable meaningful relationship.

5) Mix some humor into the previous four.

Men also like to laugh but if you overdo it, they might be intimidated into believing they will have to compete with a regular stand up comedian, which might scare off good candidates. As with any goal, sometimes you will have to do some tweaking as you go along to correct your course in order to get there.
