Online profiles ‘need to be enticing’

Creating an enticing online profile is essential in order to attract potential suitors.

There is no point in signing up for the service if people are not going to put in the required effort to make themselves seem interesting to the opposite sex.

Because of this, Buzzfeed has some handy advice for those who want to make sure their profiles leap off the page.

Choosing a good username is the first place to start, with the news provider stating: "Clever is better than boring, but boring is better than gross."

Single people should also consider what type of person they are looking to attract with their profile, whether it is laid-back fun loving fellas or more career-minded folk.

Finally, the selection of good photos is vital, as individuals want to show themselves off in a good light, but at the same time the snaps should not be too far removed from what they look like in everyday life.
