Photo tip #3: Say cheese
When putting together your profile, be sure to include at least one photo where you're smiling. Yes, we know you look sexier when you're serious, but the truth of the matter is, you're way more approachable with a grin. And that's the point, right? People also want to see those baby blues, so take off your sunglasses, and look at the camera. You also get over 200-percent more messages if you have a full body shot (but no mirror selfies, please).

Photo tip #4: Don't be stingy
The more photos you have, the better your profile will do. Put a variety of images up, and be sure to showcase your personality. Finally, caption them well to really put the cherry on the sundae.

Writing tip #1: Let's chat
Give your potential matches some conversation starters: Tell about your favorite movies and food and be sure to talk about your favorite music. The last concert you went to? Where you plan to travel to in the next year. Ask some questions, too: "What's on your bucket list?" or "Thai food or Italian?"

Writing tip #2: All about me
Tell about yourself. Do you love karaoke? Have a funny anecdote? What book are you currently reading? Try to stay positive about what you're looking for, negativity is never attractive.
