When it comes to online dating, the high number of women who are looking for the right partner attracts an even higher number of men who dream about being that perfect partner. The competition doesn’t sleep and the more men are hoping to get a date with a woman, the more important it gets to set yourself apart from the other guys. Saying the same things as everyone else and hoping that she replies doesn’t work. Therefore, the completion is simply too high.

These simple 5 steps will help you start a successful conversation online! (source: Wingman Magazine)

Step 1: the perfect subject line

The first thing a woman sees when you send her a message on an online dating site is the subject line. Ignoring this tiny detail would be a huge mistake. Be funny, be playful and make her want to open your message.

Even though the following subject lines sound completely ridiculous they actually worked with a great success rate when people use them:

10 Reasons Why You Should Open this Message

You are beautiful but why are you so shy?

I am not a prince but I am charming

Step 2: forget about the standard message

What do most guys write in their first message they send to a girl online? A lot of them use the same message for every girl they write to. The message they tend to use looks like this:

Hey, How are you? You are really beautiful and I just wanted to say hi.

Do yourself a favor and forget about the standard message. If you don’t personalize your message at least a little bit she will instantly know that you just play the numbers game and that you write the same thing to every girl.

Step 3: give her an individual compliment

Giving a girl an honest compliment is great but in the online world you have to be more creative than in real life. A girl who you approach with a direct compliment on the street will be flattered and excited when you tell her that she looks beautiful, but in the online world things are a little bit different. Men are a lot less afraid of writing to women than they are of talking to them in real life. As a result of that the average girl on an online dating site gets a lot of compliments.

The two most common compliments are definitely “you are cute” and “you are beautiful”. Women who are actively searching for a partner online have heard those lines a million times. If you want that she replies it is time for something new.

Look at her profile picture and give her a compliment that you can only give her and not to any other girl. In case she has blue eyes, blond hair, a red top and a friendly smile you can use all those elements to design your perfect compliment. A compliment that you can’t simply give every woman will make her feel special and when a man makes her feel special he deserves to get a reply.

Step 4: use the information she gives you

Take your time and look through her profile. If you have never done that you will be amazed at how much women reveal about themselves in an online dating profile. Make use of the information she gives you.

If she says that she traveled to six countries within the last year, you would be stupid if you wouldn’t tell her that you like the fact that she is well-travelled and that it is amazing that she is brave enough to travel all around the world.

Step 5: give her a reason to reply

Now she knows why you write her. You made clear that you are not only attracted to her beautiful smile, but also to the fact that she is an interesting person. It is definitely nice to know that you like the fact that she is well-travelled but does she have any proof that you not just say that without meaning it?

If you only tell her that you like the fact that she is well-travelled without linking this characteristic to yourself, she can easily get the impression that you just say it to impress her. Tell her exactly why you love this fact about her and share your own interests and experiences with her. Provide her with an answer to the question “why should I reply?”

We’ve collected some useful hacks that could help you spice up your dating profile and start getting more matches:

1. Profile pictures

• Make sure your first couple of photos stand out. They say image is everything—this is so true! You have only a few seconds to make an impact. 90% of the time, people don’t look past the first photo. So, if you’re not looking your best in the first profile photos, you are going to lose out on first impressions.
• If you want to get more matches, take good quality photos. Your smartphone camera is probably good enough. Ask a friend to take a few photos of you!
• Make sure your first photo is a casual one, out somewhere on the streets, in which you look your absolute best. Keep the second one a little formal, preferably a picture of you in social gatherings. In the third one, you can show the ‘healthy’ side of you. But, no bathroom selfies, please.
• Avoid group photos. If she can’t tell who you are, she won’t choose you. Plus, you don’t want to be the person with the cute friend.

2. Fill out your bio

• You may lose matches because you were too lazy to fill out the bio.
• Use the space to say something witty and show the smart and funny side of you.
• You may also say a few words about the person you are looking for.

3. Send the first message

• According to some social studies, only 8% of women and 25% of men will send the first message. Almost 70% of matches won’t go anywhere because nobody wants to send the first message.
• Send personalized messages. If you want to improve your odds, show her that you’ve actually taken the time out to see her pictures or read her bio. A tailored message will increase your response rate.
• Dating is just like public relations and marketing. You need to optimize everything for a higher conversion rate. The first few words are the first impression, so choose wisely. You want them to be different and give a good impression.

4. Be active and patient

• Just like any social network, to increase your popularity, you should be active. If you want to find the love of your life on a dating site, make sure you reply messages in less than 12 hours.
• If someone doesn’t reply to your message right away, don’t remove them from your favorites list. Maybe they’re busy, sick or out of the country? Just like in real life, if you stick around long enough, most likely you will get the reward, because everyone else is gone. Dating is a marathon, not a sprint.

6. Use lists

• If you find an interesting person, add them to your favorites list. It is the best way to organize all your matches!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, scientists have unraveled the secrets to creating the perfect online dating profile (according to ABC News).

Here’s what they found:

• Users who picked screen names starting with letters toward the beginning of the alphabet got more clicks, pings and swipes than those whose names started with letters in the second half of the alphabet.
• A good profile photo is key, but doesn’t have to be fancy. A “genuine smile” and head tilt made the person in the profile photo appear more attractive.
• When women wore red in their profile photo, it translated to more attention from men online.
• In photo galleries, group shots with friends having fun also earned more clicks, pings and swipes from the opposite sex.
• Users appeared more intelligent if they kept the language in their profile headline “simple.”

We hope that these simple truths will help you create your own perfect profile!  Happy Valentine’s Day!

There are 7 things you might want to know before starting to date online (according to the OKCupid’s statistics):

1. Never start a dialogue with a simple “hey”

The statistic shows that a message that just says “hey” has a whopping 84% chance of being ignored. Break the ice with something that calls for a more-than-one-word response. Even “how was your day” is a better call than “hey.”

2. Handcuffs and whips

It’s not a secret that the number of users who “have a desire to participate in bondage” increases year over year: 58% of all users showed interest in handcuffs and whips!

3. Stop using the smiley face

The most-used emojis are different types of smiley face, so if you don’t want to bore your flirting partner, choose one of the “emotional emojis” instead because they have the highest reply rate of all. Messages with the sweat emoji, the distressed face or the sleeping emoji were successful at eliciting a response 40% of the time.

4. Don’t be racist

Important questions like “Would you consider dating someone who has vocalized a strong negative bias toward a certain race of people?” and “Is interracial marriage a bad idea?” reveal that most users of dating sites like their romance with a side of tolerance. More than any other questions, people said an answer other than “no” to either of those two inquiries was a deal breaker.

5. It’s not a matter of religion

Only 76% of online daters identify themselves as neither atheist nor agnostic (comparing to 93% of people in the United States according to the 2015 Pew Religious Landscape survey). So if you’re looking for someone to not go to church with on Sundays, you might want to put some extra time into your online dating profiles.

6. Keep it clean

Questions of health and hygiene are very important when it comes to online dating. And it’s not only about clean T-shirts and fresh breath: the number-three question most often marked as important, “What’s your deal with harder drugs (stuff beyond pot)?” reveals that most of the site’s visitors want a significant other who can say “I never do drugs.”

7. Know what’s popular

The top five movies referenced on the site this year, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Jurassic World, Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, were all reboots or sequels, meaning making sure you’re up on your mega-movie franchises ensures you’ll have something to talk about on the first date.

Look at the profile of Victoriya:

Based on the photo, what she’s looking for? Hot sex, right? Wrong. The feelings. That’s true for Russian girls, that’s true for… let me generalize a little bit. For all. She is what she’s writing:

Last time, I asked you to look closely into her pictures and find something interesting which is not her physical beauty. Unfortunately, some Russian girls show nothing but this.

Pictures are clickable and lead to the profiles.

I don’t know about you, but I find them

1. Attractive
2. Lacking any information besides the physical appearance. There’s no starting point for a conversation.

Let’s have a look at some of the Russian girls and think up how you could start. Here we go with real CuteOnly profiles and possible openers. Hey, I don’t recommend sending that — she may get dozens of similar openers from the blog readers, weird.

As she has a number of photos in different interesting shoes (click the picture to view profile), you may exaggerate it a little bit: “I’ve shown your profile to Paris Hilton and she’s so jelaous of your collection of shoes!”
