How To Write A Dating Profile Over 40
Your profile is your introduction, and it does not have to be perfect. It just has to sound like you. A few honest, upbeat paragraphs will do far more than a long list of what you are looking for.
Open with something real. Skip "I don't know what to write" and start with something about your life: what you do for a living, where you live, what a good weekend looks like for you.
Show, do not just tell. Instead of saying you are adventurous, mention the last road trip you took. Instead of saying you love food, name your favourite spot for a Sunday lunch or the dish you cook best.
Be upfront about your life. If you have children, say so simply and positively. Most people over 40 have family commitments of their own, and being open from the start saves time for everyone.
Keep it positive. Leave out exes, past relationships and long lists of what you do not want. Save those conversations for later, once you have got to know someone.
Finish with an invitation. End with something that makes it easy to reply, such as asking about someone's favourite holiday spot or the best braai they have ever been to.
Add a couple of good photos too. Our profile photo tips explain what works. Ready? Join for free and write your profile today.
