You can use your header to help find the right person more easily.

By adding some of your details in your header it will help filter out those people who aren’t looking for someone like you and at the same time attract those who are.

Your header could state that you are ‘An LA windsurfer looking for a Blonde Beach Girl’

Now that makes it easy for people to quickly see whether they might be a candidate for a friendship doesn’t it?

Or maybe you are ‘Looking for a female travel companion in her 30’s’

If you were in your thirties and loved travel you would probably be interested in clicking on that person’s profile to find out more information wouldn’t you?

Make it easy for the right people to find you and you will get better results sooner.

Think of what your most important requirements are and see if you can include that in your header as a filter to get more targeted people contacting you.

Now if you can also add some humor to that heading or something clever that would also attract attention you will be boosting your chances of getting the right people wanting to know more about you in droves.

You will also save yourself a lot of time by not having to deal with people who contact you that aren’t suitable.

When they get to your profile you can expand on this information to filter the prospects even further.

The people who have the most success with the online dating sites are those who take the time to decide what they are really after and then focus all of their efforts on getting precisely that.

If you haven’t any idea of what you really want then you are only going to attract people who don’t really care what they get.
