In previous articles, we learned that thousands of people register for online dating sites every single day. These people are looking for someone just like you, but no matter how much they would love to find you, the chances of that happening are slim to none. It's almost impossible not to "blend in" with all those thousands of others.

These dating tips will show you how to make your profile "stand out" and rise above the clutter.

I also told you in another article that you will not meet anyone through online personals unless you post the right kinds of photos. I'd like to go back and add another point about your profile photos.

Here’s a newsflash for you: a woman will decide whether to talk to you or not based on your worst photo.

I don’t care how compelling your ad is, or if you have a photo of yourself with a dolphin in a dolphin pool in your backyard with your chopper parked in the background... one bad picture can ruin it all.

Make sure all of your photos are showing you at your best. If you are unsure about any of them, scrap them. When you narrow it down to your final choices, have an attractive female friend go through them, and pick out the best ones (not your mom). Women like different “looks” than you would think… so don’t be surprised if your female friend tells you to scrap your best one.

Another great way to find out what people think of your photos is to throw them up on one of the photo rating websites where people can actually rate your photos on a scale from 1-10. This will let you know very quickly which shots you should stick with.
