One of the best ways to practice surefire dating techniques is to work on meeting women online. There are a lot of advantages to online dating, like having time to really think out your responses and not having to deal with the sting of rejections that are so difficult in real-life. But what is the key to getting noticed online? The secret lies in your online profile.

How you write your profile has everything to do with the sort of responses you will get. If you aren't getting any responses, you'll know you did it wrong. While writing a profile that gets response is an art form, it is also a lot simpler than you would imagine. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow.

The first thing you need to know is what to avoid. These no-no's will guarantee failure. Talking about what a "nice guy" you are is the biggest mistake you can make in your profile. Making long laundry lists about yourself is boring, predictable, and completely unsuccessful. Last, but certainly not least- posting a picture of yourself leaning up against your car, with your cat, or at your cubicle? Not allowed! take these three tips as ground rules, and move on from there.

So, now that you know how to do it wrong, you must be wondering how to do it right. It's simple. The first rule of thumb is to make yourself look confident, not desperate. You should appear masculine, funny, and date-worthy.

In the words of David Deangelo - being cocky-funny is the fastest route to being noticed, both online and off. This rule especially applies to your profile! This might mean playing a little hard to get, implying that a woman will have to work to get your attention, or just indicating that any woman who catches your eye is one lucky lady.

Maybe the most important piece of advice is this next bit. Leave out as many details as possible. I know, it sounds crazy, but believe me, it works. This is called "being mysterious", and it means making her do some guess work. This gets her imagination going, and makes her want to know more.

Last, but not least, use a photo that is current, interesting, and unique to you. If you are an outdoorsy type, use a good shot from a hike. If you travel a lot, post an image of yourself in an exotic place. Do not post a picture from 5 years ago. Be certain that the lighting and angle are flattering. The idea is to look like yourself, at your best.

So, as a quick review for your profile: be "cocky and funny", be mysterious, and use an image that generates interest. By sticking to these very simple guidelines, you will have more success with online dating than you ever thought possible.
