How You Can Easily Create A Good OurTime Profile

The Best OurTime Dating Profile Example For Men

1. Use good photos in your profile.

The first thing women see is your photos. You want a good impression, so you must use diverse pictures in your profile.

Unfortunately, most men use photos that turn women off. Ditch the car selfies, pictures of your dog, and never use a photo where you're not in the shot.

Here are a few photo tips that can help you stand out:

• Smile and when you do, show your teeth.
• Show yourself engaged in your hobbies or passions.
• Don't hide any part of your face - no sunglasses/hats.
• Use one group photo to show you're sociable and have friends.

You want to show women you're fun, active, and are living a fun life. Using the photos above will help your profile stand out.

2. Answer your profile details completely.

The profile details section is where you enter profile traits. Your details are a standard section used by most dating apps. Examples include filling your height, smoking habits, pets, education, etc.

OurTime has a trait section as well. This often-overlooked section impacts your results.

Women can use the OurTime search filter to look for specific traits. Also, the app matches you with women based on these. It's important to go through this section of your profile and choose whatever answer applies to you.

3. Put some thought into your "How About We" question.

OurTime's "How About We" question is one of the first things women see in your profile. It's near the top of your profile - women see your answer before your profile questions, so don't skip it. Yes, it's that important.

I recommend writing things that women want to do that are fun. Examples include:

• Wine tasting
• Road trips
• Concerts
• Cooking dinner together
• Renting jet skis
• Kayaking
• Movies

The list above is just an example to kickstart ideas for you. Be sure to insert some humor. Showcase your personality here. Keep it light.

I can't emphasize how important this piece of your profile is. The app highlights it, for crying out loud - so put some effort into this question.

4. Select three "Profile Questions" to compliment your dating profile.

OurTime gives you the option for answering up to three profile questions. You can choose different topics. These questions add variety to your bio, and it's important to write a few sentences about whichever topic you choose.

The app limits you to 200 characters for each question, so get to the point. Don't write long-winded sentences. Here are the three questions you can answer.

In a Nutshell - Write about yourself in this section. Don't just list facts.

Men typically write boring profiles because they list things they do - "I like hiking, traveling, dancing, and staying in but going out." Boring!

Any topic is fine; make sure you add depth. Write something like this:

I'm fun, energetic, affectionate, active, and I am 100% sure I can beat you at any bar game (pools, darts, trivia, etc.). I know THE BEST spot in town for Happy Hour.

Again, insert some personality. Women want to get excited at the thought of meeting you.

The one I am looking for - Share what you want in a partner. Hey, you know yourself better than me. Be honest about what you're looking for in your answer.

Whatever you do, keep it positive. Don't list what you "aren't" looking for on OurTime. Often, men write, "I'm not here for games" or "Don't message me if..." Ugh. Don't do that.

I'd just like to add - Here, you can write anything. Maybe write some of your goals, a few hobbies, talents, useless skills. Heck, even a philosophy.

I use this section to flesh out my profile. Adding more about myself that doesn't fit in the "In A Nutshell" section: I love hikes followed by fish tacos (and margaritas), the beach re-energizes me, spend too much time at Home Depot, always up for a road trip, and I'm still looking for the best sushi in town.

5. "Personality Questions" are available (but not necessary).

Ourtime has personality questions that give greater insight into who you are. The app presents you questions where you choose an answer from a list. The app presents only a handful of questions, so you can easily answer them in under a minute.

Feel free to answer these honestly. I don't answer the personality questions. I don't think they add value nor boost responses.

Answering the questions won't hurt you, but they don't add insight into who you are. It's your call.

6. Don't ignore the "My Top Interests" section.

You can choose up to three interests that display on your profile. I recommend answering all three because these can act as more ways to hook women in and grab their attention.

Similar to personality questions, OurTime presents you with a variety of categories. Within each category are various interests you can select and expand on. Here are a few of the options:

• Activities and Hobbies - crafts and creating, games, nature and outdoors, sports, etc.
• Culture and Entertainment - arts, movies, music, dancing, etc.
• Life and Spirit - career, education, family and friends, travel, etc.

Choose three and write a few sentences in each. OurTime gives a lot of options here so, focus on what's important to you.

For example, I would write this in the fitness option: I love working out and the outdoors. It keeps me balanced and helps me maintain my rugged good looks. 🙂

A short hike, kayaking in Mission Bay, or Even a walk around Balboa Park is good for the soul (and body).

7. The "Message Ideas" section is optional.

OurTime presents several questions you can select, which, according to them, is a "great way to help you learn about those who contact you." You can choose up to 4 questions women may answer when sending you a message.

I don't use these because this section because the questions are so generic. Feel free to choose a few if you want.

The question seems forced and something you ask on a job interview. For example, "describe for of your main goals in life?" It's just boring.

If you engagingly write about yourself in the other sections of your profile, these aren't necessary. I recommend ignoring the questions, but it's your call.
