In today’s digital world, apps have become an integral part of everything we do, and that includes dating. Whether you’re looking to find Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now, Adam4Adam is the best place to find them. After all, we have our fair share of success stories.
Of course, if you’re serious about making it happen, you need to have a profile that grabs attention. But how do you do that? Easy! Just check out our five tips on what to put in your dating app profile below!
1. Put a face pic in your profile
Yeah, abs are nice to look at, but if you’ve got row after row of them on your app, they all just start to blend into each other. Putting a face pic on your profile makes you stand out and lets people on the other end feel like they’re talking to an actual person. Don’t just use any face pic, though. Check out our tips for picking your profile pic!
2. Have more than one pic of yourself in your profile
Sure, your face pic is current and you look handsome in it, but that’s not going to be enough. In this age of catfishing, you need to have multiple photos to prove that you are who you say you are. But don’t just flood your profile with face pic upon face pic. Make sure to pick a variety of photos that paint a picture of who you are as a person. Are you athletic? Include a photo of you playing your favorite sport. If you happen to be shirtless in it, all the better.
3. All the parts of your profile should be filled out
Think of your profile as the icebreaker that starts the conversation. Having everything filled out makes it easier for guys to find something to talk to you about. When it comes to Adam4Adam, it also helps you be discovered by like-minded people thanks to the search/filters feature. For instance, users can search for you by sexual orientation or sexual position or age, and you miss a lot of dating and hookup opportunities when your profile is not 100% filled out as you won’t come out in the result or a search.
4. Be sure to have an actual icebreaker in your profile
The description in your profile is a great icebreaker, and it’s an even greater touch if you have an actual icebreaker included there. This is especially important if you’re on Adam4Adam looking for a long-term relationship. If your profile doesn’t have anything in it that other people can talk to you about, getting a conversation started is going to be difficult. It can be something as simple as “Ask me what my favorite movie is!” Don’t overthink it and you just mind more people willing to start a conversation with you.
5. Make sure everything in your profile is current
That starts with your profile picture. Don’t put up a picture of you from five years ago because that will just result in drama once a face-to-dace meet-up is arranged. The information on your profile should also be correct and current because lying is just setting yourself up for dating failure and you’d have no one to blame but yourself.
That’s just some of the tips we have so you can enjoy your experience on Adam4Adam. Adam4Adam blog readers, are there other things you think are essential when it comes to a dating app profile? Share it with us in the comments section below!
Then if you’re “on” be ON and if you are not present LOG OFF.
Respond to people even if it is to say “I’m not interested.”
When I contact a guy and there’s no response, it’s “no harm. No foul.” On a dating site, no one is entitled to a response from every guy they hit up. I’ll respond to guys who seem to be a good fit, but not to those with no/little details in the profiles or who are not close to a match … both all too too frequent. It’s a simple clean message that no one needs to get their undies in a bundle over.
Perhaps YOU have no manners, but not to respond is to be a passive-aggressive dickhead. You obviously think you’re “better than”.
Guys don’t respond to me now and then. Why should they have to? Simply, it’s a dating site and they weren’t interested. There’s no passive aggression involved. No butt hurt. No undies in a bundle …
for us at least. No manner issues. If you chose to be offended, of course that’s your choice.
And speaking of manners, you should check the tone of your response. Pot calling the kettle black much?
It’s not a dickhead move. This is not manners because it’s not about being courtious to other, but rather your obsessive need for others to pay attention to you and validate you. dPeople are busy. Maybe I logged on because I’m chatting with one person I hope to meet, or I have a friend who I am chatting with. Maybe I’m at work, or I fell asleep without logging off. Maybe I have 30 new messages, and if I reply to all of them I miss meeting “the one”. We have limited time. Reach out to as many people as… Read more »
Perhaps YOU are projecting (ie, you are using “manners” as cover in your self-centered passive-aggressive need for everyone to pay attention to you). Get over yourself. But even if some people don’t respond because they are rude or bad people, why get upset about it–accept it. You aren’t going to change it. There are always going to be rude people. Ignore them! Wait wold that be passive aggressive?
Then WHAT is the appropriate response when somebody sends you a message but he’s not your type?
Be sure to say if you are cut or uncut, size and if you have a preferred role. Saves much time.
Being uncut, I recognize prejudice exists against foreskins. I’m guilty too, because I prefer clean and odorless body parts, especially if I’m going to give oral sex. What some people don’t know is that a fully retractable foreskin can be as clean as any uncut penis, if the foreskin is retracted and washed with soap when showering. Among my posted pics I always include one that show my fully retracted foreskin behind the glans.
“Put a face pic in your profile” Only about one third of guys on A4A have a visible face picture in their profile. Showing a face picture is a matter of personal choice. Some guys prefer to see face pictures quickly so they can make a shallow, superficial decision about about their next hookup, their next piece of meat. They’ll only chose men as sexual partners if those men are model, Adonis hot. Or if those men meet their requirements for “pretty.” Some men display their face as a matter of choice, as is their right. Their sexuality is at… Read more »
Hunter, we know you don’t wanna show your face but many other people want to see face. I dont fuck with guys if I dont like their face. Even if they have the most gorgeous cock. I dont care.
Covered that “Some guys prefer to see face pictures quickly so they can make a shallow, superficial decision about about their next hookup, their next piece of meat. They’ll only chose men as sexual partners if those men are model, Adonis hot. Or if those men meet their requirements for ‘pretty’.” As is their choice, of course.
even for a boyfriend Hunter0500, I need to be attracted. It’s nothing shallow. It’s life. Attraction is what brings people together most of the time. If you just need a dick then fine, but I need a face that I want to kiss.
Face pics are a MUST for me. If not out and open then, have one in your locked photos. I am not talking to a body part and expressing things about myself or my desires to somebody’s dick. Who am I to know that you aren’t a relative or unkempt. Not chancing having some guy show up to my house that is skater kid or worse. Instinct tells me “I need to see his eyes”
no doubt guy’s!
I like how this blog tells you how and what you you should post in your profile to possibly if ever meet that Prince Charming night in shining armor if he even crosses your path from the other side of river edge surrounding Douchville Yep you’re talking about dealing with probably almost 95% of arrogant yet shallow and my favorite -the Rude Endiess List you won’t meet ,Insecure Gay ♂️ your trip with start as you’re be going to be walking into this huge shit show of deplorables online who most likely in that first chat Maybe leading -Just Maybe… Read more »
Wow you are angry man. Talk about negativity. Maybe change your life motto and be more positive then things will change around you.
When searching, we just skip over people without an open primary picture. Do you guys really think we are going to start a conversation with someone that has NO open pictures. You must have something to hide, or you are ugly as sin, and not worth the keystrokes. If you need to be discreet, at least have a face picture in your locked pix. Ditto for profiles that just say “Man, 45”. You are just a long line of 45 year old men….. just going to move on. The article’s note to complete as much as you can in your… Read more »
Usually, no pic profiles are spambots (especially if the profile isn’t filled out).
There are an almost infinite number of fabulous long-term life partners and awesome friends who just don’t happen to have a “pretty” face. Thanks for leaving them to other great men who also don’t stop at that primary requirement … and who just may or may not be “pretty” either. Several members have posted here that they sought “pretty” earlier in life and now find themselves older and alone…some butter.

assholes. Literally assholes. Especially assholes without a face. I love to eat ass. But when all I see is an asshole I am immediately disgusted and this asshole is history.
DEFINITELY #’s 1 & 3 (at the minimum).
#5 would be helpful.
