Don't be generic; be different. Instead of saying "I like going for walks on the beach," say why you like walking on the beach.
Do you like splashing in the surf with your pet poodle? Do you like surfing? Be specific.

• Make an effort, starting with a flattering natural photo. Having a poor photo on your profile is like sending your resume on scratch paper.

• If you don't think you should have to ask for something, don't. An example: You shouldn't have to say that you want to date someone who's monogamous. If you ask for a monogamous relationship, people will think you were cheated on and aren't over it.
• Don't give away too much information. If you say you're looking for someone who doesn't play games, that's twice as bad. You'll not only scare away the good dates, but you'll attract those who want to see what they can get away with.
• Never lie about your age. If you do so, people will wonder what else you're lying about.
