Most of the popular online dating services such as “Adult Finder Dating”, “Sex Search”, and “Friend Finder” call for an opening line or a short header that will appear under your username. People will see this when they pull up your profile. Interestingly enough people have no idea what they should put here and end up with common headers like, "You and I are good for one another” or “Hi there”.

It is so important that you use this short header for a call to action. You need to write something that shows either how clever or funny you are or what defines your philosophy of life. People need to want to know more after seeing this header.

There are pertinent elements that are crucial to creating a profile that will keep someone’s interest. Your photo is your ticket. In every romantic encounter there must be an initial attraction. Your header and your username are important as well. Below are 4 Good Tips for building an intriguing profile.

1) Stay Away from Commonly Used and Dull Headers
If a person does not know what to say for their header it is easy to fall back on what they saw on someone else’s profile or something as simple as “Hello” or “I am looking for love”. The last thing you want to do is seem ordinary. There are so many people in the same place you are on the quest to find their soul mate. You have to create a header that will attract someone’s attention more than the profile before and after yours. You don't want to appear common. It is obvious which one of these would catch anyone’s attention.

"Howdy"
"I may be just what you are looking for"
"Here to Meet New People"
"I Wont Tell if you don’t!"

The top three are common. The last one leaves the mind thinking about how fun and adventurous that person may be. Make your header is as funny or as witty as you will be face to face.

2) Take Time to Look At Other Headers
If you find other headers that interest you, it will be easier for you to come up with a winning profile header. Ask yourself a question like, “What in this header made you want to click on this profile and read more about this person? “ Here are some all time favorites (some are simply clever, funny, or philosophical)

"We are a match made in heaven: I've got the body and you've got the brains!"
“You finally met me. Do I get to hear your other two wishes?"
"Bright star looking to shine on shared paths"
"My benefit package is as good as your new jobs."
"Strangers are friends waiting to be made."

Use the ideas you came up with while reading others interesting profiles to create your own.

3) Use Your Header to Say What you are Looking For
One of the most common grumbles amongst online daters is how many people that are no where near what they are looking for, requesting contact. It could be a woman 20 years older or someone 5 inches shorter than what you want. If you want to lessen the chance of having to filter through respondents that you would never consider, use your header to filter out what you don’t want. For example:

"Looking for athletic, 33-40 year old male within 30 miles of Orange County"

If this is the first thing a person sees while browsing and they feel they don’t stand a chance they are more likely to move on to the next. Instead when that fit, 37 year old local guy reads the header, he will be thrilled that he fits your desires and is likely to review your profile. Take a look at these examples of headers we’ve seen:

"Must be at least 6‘0" to join this party"
"Please be local, athletic, over 50, and have your picture posted."
"Good men seem to have vanished. If you're invisible call me now."
"There‘s nothing like a man in his dress blues or greens. Soldiers, apply here."

Say exactly what it is that you want in your header
