How To Create A Great Zoosk Dating Profile In 7 Steps

7 Steps For A Great Dating Profile On Zoosk

Are you looking to join Zoosk? Want to fix your profile on Zoosk? It's easy to create a great dating profile on Zoosk.  

Follow the keys on the list below. Your profile on Zoosk will stand above every other guy on the app.

1. It starts with your username.
2. Don't ignore the basics section.
3. You must use great photos.
4. Share your story (what makes you unique).
5. Describe your perfect match.
6. Write what your ideal date will be.
7. Select (and share) a few interests.

1. It starts with your username.

A good username is important. Give it some thought. Zoosk found adding a username can get you up to 20% more incoming messages.

Most men use boring generic usernames. Typically random numbers and letters. A terrible username is a bad first impression.

Look at it this way, say you don't create a username. You send a message to a woman, and Zoosk sends her a notification. Below is what she'll see in her email inbox. 

The email above is generic and boring. How likely is a woman to open your message if you don't create a username? The odds aren't good because you don't stand out.

Creating a great username is simple. For tips on how creating a username that stands out, visit my blog post: How To Create A Good Username On Dating Apps.

First impressions are everything. Make yours count by creating a good username.

2. Don't ignore the basics section.

The basics section on Zoosk is probably the most overlooked section on the app. It's the section where you share if you smoke, have kids, college education, etc.

Each question in this section can impact a woman's decision to contact you or not. So, it's important to answer the questions correctly. Here are my recommendations for this section.

• Children - Answer honestly.
• Relationship history - Any answer is acceptable except "I'll tell you later." The wording makes it seem like you're hiding something, which is a red flag.
• Ethnicity - Answer honestly.
• Education - Enter if you're a college graduate or beyond. Otherwise, leave it blank.
• Religion - Only answer this if religion is important to you. Women on the same page are more likely to contact you when answering this question.
• Smoking - If you smoke, answer "socially." Note - statistically speaking, smokers get fewer responses.
• Body type - Unless you're super fit, "average" is your best option. Studies show women are open to various body types, even if they "show a body type preference."
• Height - Answer honestly.

3. You must use great photos.

Zoosk allows you to add up to 6 photos to your profile. You must use all 6 spots available. The key to a great dating profile on Zoosk is a diverse portfolio.

Women want to get to know you. If you enjoy hiking, add a picture of yourself on a trail. Do you enjoy concerts? Use a picture taken at one. Whatever you do, make sure you're having fun in your pictures.

You want to verify yourself as well. Zoosk found verifying your photos can get you up to 100% more incoming messages. 

Here are a few more photo tips for Zoosk:

• Smile and look at the camera.
• Include at least one full-body shot.
• Be presentable - No tacky clothes or messy hair.
• Don't overdo it - No suits or tuxedos. Casual clothing is best. 
• Use photos that are clear (nothing in the dark, blurry, or out of focus).
• Include one group photo to show you're social and have friends.
• Ditch the sunglasses - women want to see your eyes.

4. Share your story (what makes you unique).

Your story on Zoosk is where you tell women a little about yourself. Talk about your hobbies, passions, interests, job, or what you enjoy doing on the weekends.

Are you active? Do you enjoy cooking? Maybe you have a great sense of humor. The story section is where you share a little something about who you are.

Keep this section positive. No negativity. Don't make lists either—everybody likes hiking, traveling, and Netflix. Share what makes you unique.

Here's an example of how to write about yourself in the story section on Zoosk: "I'm a big fan of trying new things and am adventurous. I've zip-lined (fun and a little scary), bungee jumping (scary, yet exhilarating), and an aerobatic glider ride (terrifying). The aerobatic glider was literally the scariest things I've done - better than any roller coaster."

The key is depth. Pick 3-5 things you enjoy and write as I do above. Your profile on Zoosk will stand out doing this.

5. Describe your perfect match.

The perfect match section in Zooks is where you describe what you're looking for on the app. Write what's important to you.

The key to this section is specifics. Set the bar high. Show you're an alpha male and not another beta hoping a woman choose you.

The perfect match section doesn't have to be lengthy, but it must be realistic. Focus on several qualities you want in a woman, not just one.

Here's an example for the Perfect Match section on Zoosk: "I'm looking for an affectionate, intelligent woman, willing to try new things, challenges me, is independent, and knows what she wants."

6. Write what your ideal date will be. 

As the name implies, the ideal date section on Zoosk allows you to do just that, describe your ideal date. What's your idea of a good time? Make sure it's something women will enjoy.

Paint a picture of what a date with you will entail. I like keeping it simple with nothing too extreme. Just keep a nice positive vibe.

Here is an example of the ideal date section on Zoosk; "Drinks are always a great choice. A little wine, some laughter, conversation, flirting, and seeing if there's a connection are what is important."

7. Select (and share) a few interests.

Zoosk allows you to choose from a list of interests. According to the app, it allows you to "show your personality."

It's a good idea to choose a few as an added dimension to your profile. Women may connect with you based on your choices. Take a few minutes and choose interests you enjoy.
