The key to finding your perfect match is being prepared. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for more serious relationships, a professionally written and edited dating profile bio can help make all the difference in how many prospects respond back!

Are you failing to get responses from your online dating profile?

Wondering why no women are responding to your messages?

Are you giving up hope of meeting your special someone?

I can help.

Besides being a professional online dating profile writer, I’ve studied the art of attraction for the past 10 years with the top dating experts. I’ve also ghostwritten countless dating profiles for clients.

This has given me a deep understanding of the specific words to use to trigger irresistible attraction in women.

However, I understand that getting women to feel an irresistible attraction towards you with words isn’t easy. And this isn’t something that was taught in school either.

It shouldn’t surprise you then that the most desirable women on dating sites receive dozens – even hundreds – of messages every day. That means competition is fierce!

So how do you stand out?

While, the first thing you must realize is that there’s no one quite like you.

No matter who you are, what you do, and where you’re from, you’re unique. That makes you special.

And that means there’s someone special out there who is looking to be with you too.

But you have to get her attention.

How exactly?

Dating Profile Help: Online Dating Requires Good Writing And Communication Skills
When it comes to online dating, you need to exert effort to tell your story to attract others. Your online profile and bio should reflect your essence (wit, charm, quirks, personality and creativeness).

Outsourcing your bio to a ghostwriter/online dating expert or hiring someone to write and read your messages to matches is not only lazy but ineffective as most never spend the time to get to know you.

The true essence of people is revealed through careful thought, unique perspective and the ability to be vulnerable.

That is impossible to convey if you outsource that work to someone else who does not know you or has spent time with you to appreciate and understand subtle quirks.

Bios and first lines signal intent, and awareness and add dimension to photos.

As your online dating profile writer, I’ll ensure that:

Your profile stands out from the rest of the generic boring profiles (and there are plenty out there).
You grab her attention from the first sentence and keep her engaged to the last word.
Your personality shines through so you’re making the best impression possible.
You get her to imagine being with you so she can’t help but want to meet you in real life.
All of this maximizes your chances of getting her attracted, interested and contacting YOU.

Whether you’re on OkCupid, Tinder, Match.com, POF, Bumble or Hinge, I’ll ghostwrite a compelling dating profile that helps you get that coveted in-person date.

I also write profiles for women too 🙂

Here’s what some of my clients are saying…
❝

I’ve been trying online dating for the past several months with little success. I’ve spent countless hours sending emails to women with no replies. After hiring Alex to write my profile, the difference has been phenomenal. Within a couple weeks, I’ve had more responses from attractive women wanting to meet me than I’ve had in the past 3 months combined. I recommend Alex to anyone who is tired and frustrated with the online dating process .

Richard, Toronto // School Teacher

❝

Job well done! I just got a match complimenting my new profile 🙂

I’m very happy with the profiles Alex wrote for Bumble and Tinder. I like that he took the time to understand what I was looking for and highlight my best features. The feedback on my photos was helpful.

I recommend Alex to anyone who wants to improve their online dating success.

Trevor, Toronto // Auto Repair Technician

❝

Based on Alex’s advice, I was able to present my authentic self on the dating sites and attract the right match within a week!

I appreciated the male perspective from the choice of words along with the best photo selection. I used dating apps for years without success and endless frustration. Alex created a variety of profile summaries that I could experiment with and trial on Bumble. I used all of them and was able to attract a wide range of professionals. The profile he wrote also helped break the ice for my first conversation with matches.

Should You Hire A Matchmaker? Professional Matchmaking Services, Pros and Cons
I get a lot of requests from Matchmakers to send over clients to them that need more hand-holding. Sure if you don’t have the time or are not willing to invest yourself to meet others, then matchmakers could be the way to go.

In my experience, people who contact me for concierge, full takeover of profiles and such are not the type of people that are ready for love or would make for a quality partner that I would feel confident to introduce to friends, family or colleagues.

I vet my clients extensively and make sure they are not only willing to put in the effort but are physically and emotionally ready to give themselves to amazing people.

The other thing to consider when using a matchmaker is understanding who their stakeholders are. If you were on the market to buy a home, would you trust your seller’s agent? Most people would not. Interests are not aligned.

Transactions and fulfilling obligations are at the heart of their work. Sure reputation and rating are important, but matchmakers tend to serve you matches on others that have paid them, not necessarily those that are best for you.

Take a look at Indian Matchmaker on Netflix for example to see how interests are not aligned even when they are paid top dollar.

Many people tend to give up on dating apps and outsource their love live to matchmakers but the number of apps you download, the number of likes you send nor the number of dates you go on does not equate to success.

There is plenty of self-sabotage on dating profiles and most people are unaware as they never seek help from others.

Love requires users to be present, engaged and partnered in a process unlike hiring a plumber which is rather ubiquitous, which matchmaking feels like for most people.

Many matchmakers tend to bury their reviews or business listings on sites like Yelp – don’t be fooled.

Most Common Pick Up Lines Used By Dating Profile Ghostwriters, Dating App Writers, Specialists
If you think you are unique with your pickup lines, try again. Too many guys use the same old tired lines and it’s obvious you cut and pasted these lines from the internet or hired a ghostwriter. Classic giveaways are not using a first name or trying to come up with a controversial but not intense question or comment.

“Hey. As an animal lover, I want to find out your opinion… dressing up your dog: yes or no?”

“A beautiful seaplane. A suitcase full of cash. And a dashing co-pilot. Whereto?”

“Oh, you like Pink Floyd? Cool. I saw them in concert in ‘77.”

“Hey (insert name), so where shall we tell everyone we met, at church, the gym, or the weekly meeting at the organ rescuers society?”

“‘I work in marketing and if you want to know more about it I have a 367-slide powerpoint presentation for our first date.”

“Hey, are you doing that thing where you’re playing hard to get (winking emoji)?”

“Better Sunday adventure: Netflix binges, hot yoga class or aggressive mimosa sipping?”

“You declare a three-day weekend. Are you heading for the mountains, the beach or sleeping till noon?”

“Hey, (insert name). Something about your profile caught my eye. I think it was the fact that you seem like you have more style and substance than most of the women here. I’d like to learn more about you, so tell me, if you could remove one thing from your daily schedule, what would it be?”

What Dating Apps Think Of Ghostwriters, Dating Profile Writers
“These companies are essentially leveraging and capitalizing on people’s vulnerability, and that’s something Bumble will address accordingly.

Being held accountable for the things you say and the actions you take is Bumble’s number one [priority] and if the messages aren’t from you, then you can’t be held accountable. That really worries me.” –VP, Marketing – Bumble.

“the creepier internet version of the 2005 movie Hitch.” –April Short, Alternet via The Inquisiter

How to Write the Perfect Dating Profile Bio (+15 Ideas to Use on Tinder, Hinge, Etc.)

The first step to success on any dating app is setting up a great profile. The world of online dating requires you to summarize your personality, interests, values, and more in just a few pics and a couple of short lines.

Sound impossible? Don’t worry, we’re here to help.

How to Craft The Best Online Dating Profile

Nearly 45 million people in the United States use dating apps. So, needless to say, it’s important to make your online dating profile stand out from the crowd to get potential matches to swipe right.

The best dating apps will guide you through the process of putting together your profile and some even provide prompts to help you showcase more of your personality.

Solid prompt answers are definitely important, but you really want to nail down your profile bio in order to catch someone’s attention.

Amie Leadingham, says, “A good Tinder bio starts with standing out from the crowd by making your profile engaging”. But you want to make sure you’re engaging the right people, which is why the dating coaches and dating experts of the world agree that being authentic in your dating bio is key.

Alexandra Tweten, creator of Bye Felipe and author of Bye Felipe: Disses, Dick Pics, and Other Delights of Modern Dating, says the best way to make your dating app profile stand out from the crowd is originality, “Have a personality. Say something funny or interesting about yourself. And if you can’t think of anything, ask a friend for a suggestion, or even ask them to write it for you! Sometimes it’s hard to identify our own best qualities, so ask someone who knows.”

Being true to who you are and what you like will help ensure that you’re attracting the right matches and will lead to better chemistry when it comes to first dates.

What to Include in Your Dating Profile Bio

Every dating app differs in terms of setup, but the majority of profiles on dating sites will start with an “About Me” section (after the selfies of course).

The “About Me” section typically includes at a minimum: your name, age, and location. Tinder lets you select interests as well, with options ranging from biking to karaoke. Bumble bios let you specify your drinking and smoking preferences, as does Hinge, which also has options to include political party, religious stance, vaccination status, and more.

So your options depend on which dating app you’re using but we’ll focus on a few key pieces of information that we think you should include in all of them.

1.) What you’re looking for: This is the number one must-have in your dating bio. There is no point in telling someone more about yourself if they’re not on the same page as you. You don’t want to get into a great conversation with someone, only for it to go nowhere when you find out they’re looking for a casual hook up and you’re looking for a serious relationship. People tend to shy away from being upfront about what they want. It can feel vulnerable to say out loud “I want something serious”, but you’re definitely not alone if that is what you’re looking for. In fact, 80% of Tinder users are looking for a long-term relationship.

2.) Your interests: These are the real conversation starters. Along with your pictures, your interests will tell your potential match if you two have things in common. Talk about how you spend your time, what you’re passionate about, and what matters most to you in life.

3.) What you want in a potential match: One of the best profile tips from Bumble is to communicate what type of person you’re looking for. Are you a big hiker and you’re looking for a fellow outdoors enthusiast to go on adventures with? Maybe you’re a homebody and your ideal partner is someone content with staying in, ordering takeout, and watching a movie on a Friday night. Whatever you’re into, make it clear, so other daters know if they fit the vibe you’re looking for.

There’s not a hard-in-stone template for what should and shouldn’t be in your dating app profile, but if you include these three, you’re in a good spot.

‍

What Not to Include in Your Dating Profile Bio
‍

This wouldn’t be a good guide without some notes on what NOT to do when it comes to your dating app bio.

1.) Avoid corny pick-up lines: While there might have been a time when these worked on dating apps, that time is now over. Your bio is precious real estate and wasting it on a cheesy one-liner is doing a disservice to you and the other daters looking for real connection. Alexandra Tweten recommends avoiding cliches or jokes that are over done, “If you’re a man, whenever women see “If you don’t look like your profile pics, you’re buying the drinks until you do,” it makes us want to throw our phones into a volcano.”

2.) Short bio: These are far too common. It’s quite a turn off when people don’t put any effort into their profile. How are you supposed to get any sense of who they actually are if the only thing on their tinder profile is: “Looking for fun” or “Trying to get off of here as soon as possible”. A little mystery is great, but your dating profile bio is not the time to hold back information in an effort to seem cool.

3.) Negativity: Another big tip from the dating experts is to avoid negativity in your online dating profile. Tweten advises to “Keep it about yourself. Don’t phrase anything in the negative…Instead, include what you ARE looking for and avoid describing any physical appearances. Keep your “no’s” list to yourself. That’s for you to filter out on your own. Even if you’re not typically attracted to blondes, you don’t have to say it in your profile.” So, try to keep it positive to avoid seeming like a downer or triggering red flags.
