Here are a few examples of unique online dating profiles. If you wish to understand the concepts behind these examples, please read our tips for writing your online profile.
Example 1: Light-Hearted and Silly
I may not be a supermodel, but at least I smell nice... well, that's what my grandma tells me!
When I'm not busy saving the world or being awesome, I spend my time working as a bartender and part-time chef. Cooking is one of my greatest passions in life and I dream of one day starting my own restaurant. Ultimately, I'd like to be known for serving the most delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on this side of the Mississippi... my mom's secret recipe is off the hook!
On my days off, you'll either find me playing hockey or belting out show-tunes with my 6-month-old nephew Max. He says we should take our act on the road, but I think he needs to brush up on his harmonies first.
I'm looking for a partner-in-crime who enjoys the outdoors and isn't afraid to step on the dancefloor from time-to-time. Don't worry if you have two left feet - I spent six years training at the Gangnam-Style School of Dance, and can teach you how to do the hokey pokey for a nominal fee.
Anyway, if you're easy-going and at least 86% awesome, feel free to drop me a line sometime!
Example 2: Genuine and Modest
Hey there, my name's Dave. According to my sister, the girls I've met in the 'real world' have been less-than-stellar (even though I thought my dating life was perfectly fine!). So at her request, I've decided to try something completely new and jump into the world of online dating. Here goes...
I'm 28 years old and work as a unit clerk at a local hospital. I can honestly say that I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to connect with people on a daily basis. I work the night shift, which sometimes gets a bad rap, but it also comes with many lifestyle perks. Imagine the luxury of going grocery shopping at 10 AM on a Wednesday morning: fully stocked shelves, no lines... it's a beautiful thing! :)
I am very close to my family and I make sure to spend at least one day a week doing something fun with my siblings. Whether we're watching a movie, playing soccer or jamming on the piano, we always have an amazing time together.
I like to focus my energy on collecting experiences as opposed to 'things' and would much rather spend my money on a trip to a foreign country than on a fancy new car. I'm the type of person who likes to seize opportunities and make the most of every day. Above all else, I value honesty and kindness in a partner, so if you're a genuine person with a lust for life, send me a message!

• About me: My name is Jenna and I’m 24 years old. I never pictured myself as the online.
• Dating Profile Example #8. Profile Text: “Simple kind of man!”. I guess one way to prove you are a simple kind of man is with a headline and profile that doesn’t use more than five words. My best online dating advice to someone who wants to use a profile like this is to not bother with online dating.

Example 3: Simple, Funny and To-The-Point.
Me:
1. Sarcastic, sophisticated, witty, dorky, sensitive and free-spirited. Also a fan of adjectives.
2. A wizard in the kitchen. Gordon Ramsey once told me that I was his idol... Ok, maybe not, but I'm sure he'd love the flavor of my home-made gnocci.
3. Nomadic Adventurer. I've set foot on 5 continents and have a thirst for exploring more. I hope to one day go vacationing on Mars as I've heard the mountains are glorious.
4. Full of random (and oftentimes useless) information. I will kick your butt at Trivial Pursuit.
You:
1. Intelligent, sweet, down-to-earth and adventurous. Bonus points if you're a little bit quirky.
2. An ambitious go-getter. I'm attracted to people who set big goals and put all their effort into pursuing them. Even if your life's dream is to become the world's greatest thumb-wrestler, I totally dig it.
3. A non-smoker... or at least trying to quit. As open-minded as I am, I have to draw the line at cigarettes. I can't stand their smell and don't want to be around smoke all the time.
4. Pet-friendly. My cat Felix loves to meet new people, but if you're allergic to fur, the two of you probably won't get along. :(
Me + You: An undeniably awesome couple with amazing chemistry. Let's make the world jealous!
Example 4: Goofy and Sarcastic
I tie my own shoes, brush my own hair, and make my own bed... (well, only if my mom isn't at home.)
During the day, I can be found sitting in an office cubicle, feverishing tapping my phone with hopes of getting a new high score on Candy Crush. I like to spend my evenings watching re-runs of Felecity while sipping on a glass of Chardonnay. I play a mean game of rock-paper-scissors (was the national champion for 2 years straight), and love the smell of pop tarts in the morning (part of a complete breakfast!)
On our first date, I'll fly you to Paris on my private jet, where we'll watch Celine Dion perform live in concert. After the show, I'll whisk you away to a private beach resort in St. Tropez, just in time to watch the sun set over the glistening water. Or if that doesn't excite you, we could just grab coffee at the Starbucks on 24 ave.
You should message me if you are Smart, Sexy, Sophisticated, Sassy and Spontaneous. (Bonus points if you have over eight years of experience as a forklift operator.)
Example 5: Straightforward and Down-to-Earth
I'm a graduate of Texas Christian University, where I majored in Post-Modern Literature. Yup, that's right, reading is my biggest hobby... 80% of the time you'll find me with my nose deep in a book (except on Sunday nights from 9 - 10 PM when Breaking Bad is on - GO HEISENBERG!).
Travelling is also a major passion of mine, and I spend a lot of my free-time planning out future adventures. I would love to travel through South America sometime, especially Argentina. Something about the culture just speaks to me... not to mention, they make fantastic wine.
I have an 18 month old german shepherd named Ringo - he unfortunately lost one of his legs in a car accident, but he's still the cutest thing on the planet! I love animals and hope to meet someone who shares this passion.
As for the kind of woman I'm looking for... she knows what she wants out of life and has her finances in check. She enjoys the outdoors, tries to eats healthy and likes to take a midnight stroll from time-to-time.
Please Note: If you can't go 5 minutes without checking Facebook on your phone, we're probably not a good match. However, if you enjoy having thought-provoking conversation and aren't afraid of the occasional spirited debate, give me a shout!

About Me Section Examples. Confidence is fine, but don’t be a douche. Women DO NOT like it. Seriously, it’s sad we have to tell this to adults, but do not lie. This includes exaggerating. It’s ok to show that you’re capable of some emotion. Be funny if you’re a funny.

Example 6: Funny Introduction
A friend told me that online dating sites are frequented by some very strange people, so I figured I should filter out a few folks by asking some serious questions. Please answer carefully:
1) Are you a fan of Nickelback?
2) Have you watched more than 2 episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians?
If your answers to both questions was 'no', then congratulations, you've passed the first test! If you answered 'yes' to either question', then I'm afraid there's no way we'll get along, sorry!
Now that we've gotten the formalities out of the way, let me introduce myself... I am a second-year college student, hoping to major in art history. Renaissance-era paintings make my heart glow and I would love to one day share my passion with others by becoming an art professor.
On a typical Friday night I am probably attending yoga class, or biking down one of the many gorgeous trails in our city. I'm the type of person who will do things on a whim, and I'm looking for a partner with the same mentality.
I make an effort to eat raw foods as much as possible, but I've been known to indulge in a Big Mac on occasion. (I must admit, there's no better cure for a hangover than two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!)
Anyway, if you're a laid-back intellectual who can appreciate a freshly made quinoa salad and the occasional chai latte, send me a message.
Example 7: Sincere and Sweet
Howdy! My name's Clint, and I'm here to steal your heart (with your permission, of course). Cheesy lines aside, I thought it would be fun to try out this online dating thing, as many of my friends have recommended it. Apparently, you can meet some pretty cool people online (who would've thunk?!). So without further ado, here are a few tidbits about myself...
I spend my days working as a Social Media director at a nationwide travel agency. In a nutshell, this means I get to fly across the country and make posts about our company on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The traveling is exciting, however the nature of my job has sorta, kinda turned me into an internet addict. 9 times out of 10, when I enter an unfamiliar building, the first thought that comes to my mind is: 'Does this place have wi-fi?'. Fortunately, I find time to play baseball twice a week, which keeps me from turning into a potato.
My biggest passion in life is music. I LOVE Bon Jovi, Journey and Van Halen (and pretty much every other hair band from the 80's!). There's nothing quite as exhilarating as strumming on a six-string with my friends as we sing classic rock songs at the top of our lungs.
Family is very important to me, and I make it a point to have dinner with my folks at least twice a week. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family of my own one day - the more kids the merrier.
Five things I couldn't do without:
- The Internet
- My Guitar
- My Dog Rex
- The New York Yankees
- Nutella
3 random facts about me:
1) I learned how to juggle chainsaws from my neighbour who used to be a clown in the traveling circus. This may not seem a particularly useful skill, although I'm confident it will come in handy at some point in the future.
2) I once ate 34 chicken McNuggets in one sitting after being dared by a friend. Needless to say, I wasn't very active for the remainder of the day.
3) My mom is a massive Barry Manilow fan. This resulted in me subconsciously learning the lyrics to every song on his 'Tryin' to Get the Feeling' album by age 8.
Anyway, if you're not allergic to musicians or a clever sense of humor, feel free to send me a message!
Example 8: 'Bullet Point' Approach
Hey folks, my name's Jessica. I assume you probably want to know a few things about me other than the fact that I like 'hanging out with my friends' and 'going on vacation', so here are a few random tidbits:
- I have a rewarding career that centers around one of my greatest passions (Hint: it may involve a small, Italian plumber named Mario :)
- I LOVE green peppers! Not sure why, but they just make me feel so good inside. Especially on a thin crust pizza - yum!
- Halloween is my favorite holiday. Each year I make my outfit from scratch, and I usually do really well in costume competitions.
- I have a 5 year old Sharpei named Kobe (yes, after the basketball player!)
- I may have a minor Nutella addiction.
- I don't know what I would do without my older sister - she's my best friend and keeps me sane when life gets crazy.
- It has always been a dream of mine to do a road trip across the United States in an old Volkswagon.
- I taught myself how to balance a bottle on my nose while standing on one foot. It's a completely useless skill, but occasionally wins me free drinks at the pub!
- I've been collecting stamps since I was 7 years old (kinda geeky, I know!). It was something I used to do with my grandmother, and now serves as a way to honor her memory.
- You get 10 bonus points if you think Def Leppard is the best band of all time!

By now, you’ve probably heard. Facebook dating is here. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not sure I like the idea of a website that’s mostly filled with my friend’s baby photos and political rants also being the hub of anyone’s love life. But, Facebook has over 200 million single users, so it would be foolish of them not to try and grab some of the multi-billion dollar dating industry for themselves. The good news is that it’s free and will always be free, so there’s really no harm in trying it. The bad news is that it’s Facebook, an app that most people I know are abandoning or saying they barely ever use anymore.

If there’s one thing I really do like about the app right now, it’s that it does away with the Tinder/Bumble mentality of both people having to swipe right on someone before they can message each other. If you can see someone, you can message them, but you better make it count. If the other person isn’t won over by your opening line, you lose the ability to message them ever again!

Now’s the time to get started with your own Facebook Dating profile, but I want to make sure that you do it right. To help, I’ve tested out the app myself and put together a list of 7 dating profile tips for Facebook Dating.

10 Dating Profile Tips For Facebook Dating

1. Don’t Treat Your Facebook Dating Profile Like a Tinder Profile

Tinder and Facebook each have a 500 character limit on their profile. Currently, the majority of Tinder users don’t come close to using all of their allotted space. Instead, they put in a few vague adjectives or a forced attempt to be funny or clever. Because you can message anyone you want, your profile matters much more in a format like this. You don’t have to tell your life story, but you should use the space in your profile to give people an idea of who you are. Tell a short anecdote or pick three adjectives about yourself and use the space to give them context and detail. Also, don’t be afraid to give a little detail about what you want in a partner. If you need help, check out ProfileHelper’s Dating Profile Writing Services, or just give me a call at 888-447-7634.

2. Focus On The positive!

The old adage about only having one chance to make a great first impression really is true. Don’t waste your chance of meeting someone on Facebook Dating by filling your profile with demands about how tall a man needs to be or by talking about all the things you don’t want in a partner. 500 characters isn’t a ton of space. This is your chance to let someone know what makes you special. If you fill it up with all the negativity you’ve experienced in your past relationships or things that have happened to you on other dating sites, you shouldn’t even bother joining. Stick to the things you do want. The things that make you special. The things that you know you are looking for in a great relationship. That is what will make you stand out to the right person.

3. Remember that Facebook Dating is for relationship-minded singles.

Just because it has the same character limit as Tinder, doesn’t mean that it’s a hook-up app. In the end, the singles who use it will decide what Facebook Dating gets used for. For right now, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg has made it clear that this app is made for people looking for a relationship, not a hook-up. When he unveiled the app, over a year ago, he said: “This is going to be for building real long-term relationships, not hookups.”

4. Don’t skip the extra questions!

Along with the primary dating profile that you can fill in with information about yourself and what you want in a relationship, there is an additional list of over 30 questions that you can answer ranging from questions about what you can cook and what song you most frequently sing out loud, to questions about your worst job and your most useless talent. Once you’ve filled them out, your answers to the questions will appear below your primary photo and your main profile section. It doesn’t currently look like there is a limit on the number of questions you can answer, so feel free to fill them all out if you want. If you want to look like you are serious about finding someone, try to make sure you at least fill out five of them. Doing that will show people that you aren’t being lazy about your dating life and it will give them more of a window into your personality. Check out all of the current questions below, and start thinking about which ones you’d like to answer.

5. Autocorrect is not your friend

Dating Profile Intro Lines

Facebook Dating is designed for use in the Facebook App. That means you’ll be writing your profile by tapping on the screen of your phone. Meanwhile, autocorrect will be saving your butt on some words and changing others to be something completely different than what you meant. Seriously. I can’t count the number of times I accidentally sent a text with the word “duck” in it because I wasn’t paying attention. This is not the kind of thing you want happening when you are writing your dating profile. Before you save and publish your profile, make sure you read it at least three times to make sure that it doesn’t have any careless errors or autocorrected mistakes in it. If you aren’t secure in your ability to get it right, just ask us or check out apps like Grammarly that will correct spelling and grammar problems for you.

6. There’s a difference between Facebook Profile Pics and Facebook Dating Profile Pics

Dating Profile Intro Examples

One huge mistake that people make with online dating profiles is in the photos they choose to represent them. I’m always amazed at the number of photos people post that don’t even feature the actual person. Combine that with too many group shots, too many selfies, and a thousand other mistakes and it makes sense why women swipe left on Tinder 95% of the time, and usually in less than a second. I can imagine that this problem could get even worse when you are potentially being prompted to pull photos from your Facebook account. When it comes to your dating profile pics, here are some tips:

• No Filters! Half the time you use them, people can tell and are turned off. The other half of the time they meet you and feel like you have lied to them.
• 4-7 photos – Any less and people will think you aren’t real. Any more and you will look like a narcissist.
• Limit yourself to one group shot – You don’t want your potential dates having to guess which one of the people in the photos they are supposed to be looking at.
• Headshots aren’t just for heads – Back up so that your headshot goes all the way down to your sternum. Photos that only show you from the neck up tend you look too intense.
• No Flashing – Aside from the obvious advice of keeping your clothes on, you want to avoid camera flash photos. They make you look heavier and older than you do in real life. Stick to natural light pics, preferably taken outdoors.

7. Mix it up!

You can add new answers to questions and new photos whenever you like to your Facebook Dating profile, but you should be careful about the order in which you add them. Ideally, you should try to have a photo between every one-two questions. You should also avoid uploading two photos in a row. This will keep your profile from being visually boring to readers. Alternating between text and photos will give them enough variety to stay engaged as they learn about you. Also, don’t forget that you can change the background colors of your text answers. To do that, just click on the pencil in the bottom corner of one of your answered questions. Then, click the Edit Question button. When it brings you back to the edit screen, just choose the background color you like most from the bottom of the screen. You can even upload a photo and use it as the background of your answer. Check it out below:

Facebook Dating has only been available to online daters in the US for one day. It’s too early to tell if American singles will take to it, but Facebook has a big enough audience that it’s probably here to stay. In the end, you are going to be the one to decide if Facebook Dating is as good as Match, POF, Tinder, eHarmony, or any of your other favorite dating apps. The good news is that with 200 million singles on the app, we should be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
