They say be careful of what you ask for because you will get it. Well this same mindset should be used when creating or updating your online dating profile. I think it should be reworded as be CLEAR on what you want(or ask for) because you will get it. I find that many people shortchange themselves in the most important areas of life: career, goals, relationships and then are confused when what they get does not match what they feel they deserve. So to start with here are a few tips(and for the 'know it alls', reminders for upgrading you online profile:

1. Be fucking HONEST - about everything including yourself. Whether it's personality or your fetish for someone with pretty hands or feet to being a picky eater, the worse thing that can happen is nothing. The worse thing that can happen with a lie is getting your feeling hurt or worse - settling for some douchebag or a nutty bitch.

2. Put up a few pictures. Preferably one headshot and other full body shot. And please let it be current. No one gives a shit that you were the hottest piece of ass in college especially if those days are past you. Save those pics to show off to 'the one' when he or she will be more than willing to hear those stories. The biggest complaint is people saying that someone did not look like the picture posted in person. Potentially an instant turn-off. Remember: looks count! They are the first thing that people see and is where attraction is initiated. If you are unclear on what looks best, ask a good friend of the sex you are looking to attract who you know, again, will be honest.

3. My final suggestion has more to do with taking initiative. Some people post a profile and expect to be over saturated with requests, messages, pokes, etc. Well guess what, Rome wasn't built in a day and for some of you sitting and waiting - get your fingers clicking and put yourself out there. If this was your business, you would be out there marketing the shit out of it. Here is your chance to be the star of your own show and cherry pick your audience. And if you didn't know - confidence is actually the biggest turn-on for men and women and nothing displays that as coming off like you already won.
