Humor is a great way to spice up what could be a dull and boring online dating profile. If you have ever browsed an online dating site, then you know that you barely read a person’s profile unless it really appeals to your interest. Most of the time, users are skimming and if you want to grab someone’s attention, humor can definitely help to do it.
You don’t have to force humor into your profile. If the mood strikes you and it is in your personality to be funny, then let it show. People can usually tell when you’re not being genuine so stick to being yourself. A good way to judge if you have a good profile is to let a good friend read over it and get their feedback. Be open to criticism. What you think may be funny may come across as cheesy to most people. You want to get people to laugh, not think you’re a dork.
If you can’t think of anything funny, just think about the funny things you say to your friends. Ask your friends what they find humorous about you. I’ve even seen some profiles where people leave exact quotes about themselves that their friend’s have provided. You can be creative in that way. There really is no wrong way to write your profile so long as you write more than a few words.
Everyone has somewhat of a sense of humor. You may not consider yourself as funny as other people you may know but put yourself out there in the funniest way you know how. Being yourself is always the best way to go when creating your online dating profile.
