5 OkCupid Profile Examples For Guys That Work Great

Not meeting the kind of women you really want on OkCupid? Chances are your profile could use a reboot. But if you’re like most guys, writing about yourself is an exercise in frustration. Unless you’re extremely good looking, you can’t rely solely on your photos to distract her from your pitiful profile.

Don’t worry, we’ve got what you need to turn your boring profile into a date magnet. Check out these 5 awesome OkCupid profile examples that work great for guys just like you:

#1: “100% Husband/Boyfriend Material”
	This particular intro style has mass appeal, which is a good thing since OkCupid is a melting pot of different types of women. You form a connection from the very first paragraph – any girl who’s spent 2 minutes browsing profiles can relate to it.
	Having a job is an attractive trait, so make sure to highlight yours in the “What I’m doing with my life” section. Add a few lines about what you like to do for fun, and you’re ready to move on to the sub sections.
	For the remaining sections, you want to describe your hobbies in an interesting way. Remember, when she’s browsing through your profile she’s going to imagine what it’s like to spend time with you. Mention activities she can picture herself enjoying with you. Don’t miss opportunities to highlight your most desirable “alpha male” traits. For instance, by saying you’re good at finding an excuse to break out the power tools, you’re subtly letting her know you’re a handy guy to have around the house.
	Research has shown the most effective profiles are 70% about you, 30% about what you’re looking for in a woman.

 

2) “Suit & Tie”
	An effective profile hooks her attention from the very first sentence, just like any good advertising copy. Think of your profile like a commercial that puts forth all your best “boyfriend material” features. Highlight your #1 selling point in the intro (in this case, a successful “suit & tie” career), and build on it in the next section.
	Notice all the colorful, descriptive language in this example. Vivid imagery grabs her attention and makes her want to keep reading.
	Use the subsections to paint an intriguing picture of your daily life. Studies have shown women are attracted to traits like bravery, courage, and a willingness to take risks, so try to choose a few hobbies that illustrate how you embody those traits. In this example, scuba diving, surf boats, and fast moving boats fill the bill.
	When you’re describing your ideal woman, avoid long lists of adjectives. “I’m looking for a woman who is beautiful, fit, smart, fun, blonde, and no shorter than 5’8” is a turn off – it comes across as overly picky. Instead, pick a few characteristics and traits that are important to you, and tell her about them in an interesting way.

 

3) “Active & Adventurous”
	The key to writing an attractive profile is simple: show, don’t tell. Providing an example of how you embody a specific quality is more attractive than just telling her you have it. Don’t just write “I love to travel”. Tell her a travel story instead.
	You want to keep what you write in your profile consistent with what’s in your photos. If you tell her all about your adventures abroad but don’t have a single travel photo for her to see, she’s going to feel like something doesn’t quite add up and move on.

 

4) “Avid Traveler”
	This profile style combines everything we’ve talked about – show, don’t tell, vivid imagery, and an attention grabbing opening line. If you’re into globetrotting, an intro like this will have her wanting to pack her bags and join you on the adventure.
	When you’re describing your job, focus on the positive impact you have. Even if what you do isn’t particularly glamorous, you can spin it in an attractive way.

 

5) “Cocky/Funny”
	Humor can be tough to get right because it’s so subjective. What makes one woman giggle might turn off another. The example above works because it’s witty and over the top in an attractive way, then it brings you and the reader back down to earth.
	Your profile needs to sound genuine – online daters tend to be more attracted to profiles that seem successful, humble and real.

How To Ace The Subsections

Don’t skip the subsections, they are another chance to form a connection via a mutual interest. Specific details make you more relatable, and the more she feels she knows you the easier it will be to get her number.

If you have any obscure, “weird” hobbies, the subsections are a good place to mention them. Examples of non-conformity actually make you more attractive, so if you’re cosplay or D&D, drop a mention in.

When you’re filling these sections out, you’ll want to keep these points in mind:

• Show, don’t tell
• Use vivid imagery
• Illustrate your most desirable qualities
• Spell check (yes, grammar matters)
• Avoid boring lists

PRO TIP: Regularly updating your profile by altering the text here and there will keep you in the top of her search results.
