Also, leave out your buddies – you don't want another person in the picture for comparison purposes, should potential matches prefer your friend and not you. Keep your clothes on – no shirtless photos for guys and no bikini (or less) photos for women. Subtlety is the name of the game here. However, when writing your bio, think of something that sets you apart from everyone else, besides the fact that you love dogs and are looking for someone with a sense of humor because honestly, who isn't? Think about the type of profile that would intrigue you. Have a positive outlook – on just about everything. No one likes a Debbie Downer who is skeptical of the online dating process or professes to be a workaholic who doesn't have much time for anyone else. Finally, if you're not getting responses, then you may want to consider giving another website a try. The harsh reality is that most member profiles are inactive. In fact, more than 90 percent of both eHarmony's and OKCupid's profiles are inactive. Those that are can be spammers, scammers and downright criminals. Not to say that you won't find success, but a perfect profile is a great start.
