If you want to perfect your dating techniques, you need to get some practice. Online dating services are a great way to meet women online for this purpose. With online dating, you can weed out the women you aren't interested in, and rejection is a lot less awkward than it is in real life. Just remember, there are a lot of guys out there in the same boat as you. What will set you apart from them is your online profile.

How you write your profile has everything to do with the sort of responses you will get. If you aren't getting any responses, you'll know you did it wrong. While writing a profile that gets response is an art form, it is also a lot simpler than you would imagine. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow.

The first thing you need to know is what to avoid. These no-no's will guarantee failure. Talking about what a "nice guy" you are is the biggest mistake you can make in your profile. Making long laundry lists about yourself is boring, predictable, and completely unsuccessful. Last, but certainly not least- posting a picture of yourself leaning up against your car, with your cat, or at your cubicle? Not allowed! take these three tips as ground rules, and move on from there.

If these are examples of how to do it wrong, then how do you get it right? Let's use some of David Deangelo's priceless advice. For starters, use "cocky & funny" to get noticed. If you start out sounding like a suck-up, women will think you are needy and desperate. When in doubt, be funny.

In his book, "Double Your Dating," David Deangelo refers to a type of humor he calls "cocky-funny". This technique works online and in real life. Try it and see. You need to make a girl feel like you are something special by keeping her on her toes a bit. Maybe you say, "Hot stud seeking supermodel to feed me peeled grapes." Knock them off balance by saying something unexpected and humorous.

Maybe the most important piece of advice is this next bit. Leave out as many details as possible. I know, it sounds crazy, but believe me, it works. This is called "being mysterious", and it means making her do some guess work. This gets her imagination going, and makes her want to know more.

Last, but not least, use a photo that is current, interesting, and unique to you. If you are an outdoorsy type, use a good shot from a hike. If you travel a lot, post an image of yourself in an exotic place. Do not post a picture from 5 years ago. Be certain that the lighting and angle are flattering. The idea is to look like yourself, at your best.

Just remember these three tips: use humor to draw women in, keep it brief, and seal the deal with a picture that sells the image you want to get across. You can't go wrong if you follow this advice.
