Single soldiers – sell yourselves online

Single soldiers who are registered with online dating sites would be wise to make the most of their hobbies and achievements in the hope of attracting a potential love match, it has been suggested.

Diana Vilbert, writing for The Frisky, says that if someone describes themselves as "just an average guy" it makes them sound uninteresting.

She suggests single soldiers should be selling themselves on the internet so that potential partners will have a topic of conversation to strike up with them.

Additionally, Ms Vilbert states that people without profile pictures on social networking sites should be treated with caution, while those with only a limited number of photos all displaying the same pose should also be avoided.

"There’s a reason he has nine pictures where he’s smiling with his mouth closed. It’s because he has extra teeth where teeth don’t belong. Trust me," she explains.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Essex recently discovered that looks do matter in the internet dating environment, as a study revealed that those with plenty of options tended to choose partners who were physically attractive, NPR reported.
