The online dating system is all about swiping left and right in search of “the perfect match.” Finding the perfect match is influenced by several social factors. Before giving up on dating and finding your soulmate, let me share some tips I have realized are crucial for dating and attraction, primarily online.
Embrace your physical attractiveness.
We often don’t look for the most attractive person but instead, someone we view as equal in physical attractiveness and social desirability. Physical appearance highly influences attraction both online and offline. To attract, start by having a unique and superb physical presentation. Have high-quality and engaging photos. Clear profile photos and well-lit images tend to attract more attention. Profiles that feature clear images where individuals are smiling or participating in enjoyable activities tend to attract more attention.
Understand Homophily.
Did you know that there is no evidence that the opposite sex attracts? Instead, we are attracted to people like us! Love and attraction in relationships are hugely influenced by similarity. Research shows that one will likely become lovers or friends with someone with similar attitudes, backgrounds, interests, and lifestyles. By clearly listing your hobbies, interests and values, you can create a sense of connection and increase your chances of attracting like-minded matches.
Be Open and Authentic.
Establishing the foundation for attraction and deep connection begins with authenticity and balanced self-disclosure. Profiles that provide thoughtful personal anecdotes and genuine information about oneself are more likely to resonate with potential matches. Healthy and lasting intimate relationships are built on disclosing important information about ourselves. This openness enhances the appeal and establishes a foundation for deeper connections filled with reciprocity.
Establish a unique profile.
Finally, the content and presentation of a profile are crucial. Well-written, error-free, and creatively presented profiles tend to stand out. Consider including a mix of shared interests, personal anecdotes, and a touch of humor to make your profile more engaging and memorable. This approach reflects your personality and increases the chances of attracting compatible partners.
Remember: Individuals differ in what they term attractive, and attractiveness is highly influenced by culture.
