How, you ask?

As you swipe through other people’s account, what catches your eye the most? Is it a dashing smile? A cute dog next to them? Or is it their list of interests?

Whatever it may be, there are several ways to create a good dating profile that will not only protect you from fake profiles, but also can be more appealing to potential mates.

Step One: Download YoCutie

To start with, download YoCutie (Android or iOS) to see what all the hype is about! It’s 100% Free. And we really mean free.

It also has an optional verification process that keeps you safe and only talking to people who are also verified and mutually interested. Verified profiles help protect you from unwanted scammers, fake profiles, and unsolicited messages.

Simply write down YoCutie on a piece of paper or something and take a picture with it, then you are free to start creating a stellar dating profile!

Step Two: Add Pictures

We understand that taking a great picture of yourself can be tricky. While other dating apps rely mostly on photos and first impressions, YoCutie expands beyond just photos for a more comprehensive look at a potential partner.

Before filling out a profile, take a nice photo of yourself.

How? Simple.

With YoCutie you can include four pictures in your profile. The first photo goes through the verification process, so it needs to be a photo of just you (Don’t worry, you can include your dog in the next photo as long as you are in the photo too!)

The photos that get the most attention are active photos. Have a friend take a picture of you doing something you love.

Whether it be hiking, painting, sitting in a cafe, or fishing on the high seas, it just needs to include your face angled towards the camera.

No one wants to just look at selfies, so find a good set of photos that reveals pieces of your personality and your lovely looks. If you don’t have any good photos, ask a friend or even a nice stranger to take a photo of you.

Be genuine in your photo and don’t try to hide who you are. While other dating apps can lead to deceitful photos, YoCutie verifies photos and includes a video option for you to be just you.

To add more photos, go into the YoCutie app and click on Edit. From there, you can click on Insert Picture to add more great photos of yourself.

Include three different photos of you smiling genuinely and enjoying your various hobbies and interests. The pictures should focus on you, so make sure to just show yourself and not within a group of other people. Ultimately, the more genuine the photo, the more a genuine match will come to find you!

Step Three: Fill out Your Profile

YoCutie is not your average dating app. The sections allow for you to fill out as much information as you would like a potential match to know.

  1. To start with, add your name or a nickname.
  2. Include your birthdate for your age to appear on your profile

Add:

-Country and City location

-Gender

-Height

-Body Type

-Job/Occupation

4. Answer whether you are looking for men, women, or both.

5. Fill out the About Me section

Don’t overthink this part! Just write about who you are, what you like to do, and what you would like a potential YoCutie Match to know about you. Write the important things about who you are looking for, and be sure to include what you also are not looking for in somebody to avoid any Yo you don’t want to receive.

6. Answer Yes or No to the following questions:

Smoker: Yes or No

Alcohol: Yes or No

Children: Yes or No (This is a good opportunity to share if you have children or not)

Animal Lover: Yes or No

7. Fill out your interests and be honest about what you really like. People want to know who you are and what makes you happy in life. The format allows for you to freely write in each section, so include a list of what you like in each box to connect with a match who has a common interest in:

  • Music
  • Sports
  • Movies
  • Television
  • Games
  • And Books

Step Four: Create a Video

Unlike other dating apps out there, YoCutie has a video option within your profile. It may seem daunting at first, but a video allows for a potential match to hear your voice and see your movements. It increases your chance to find the perfect match and it allows for verification on who a person is, so you can be sure it is not a fake profile.

To create a video, go into My Profile and tap Edit in the top right corner. Below pictures will be a video option. Click on Make Video. A recording option will appear. Reverse the camera towards you or have a friend help before clicking the red button in the middle. Begin to record an honest video of yourself to include on your profile.

It may feel strange at first, but including a video increases your Yo’s received and opens up a new door for conversation in meeting people.

Step Five: Give Yo’s

Once you have filled out your dating profile completely, you can start giving Yo’s! Swipe through other authentic profiles on YoCutie and give Yo’s to others you find interesting.

Filling out a dating profile lets you, be you. It can be easy to be caught up in how you want to present yourself to a potential match online, but being yourself is the best way to find the right person for you.

With picture and video options, you can chat, flirt, and meet new people online who are real people in the real world.

Use the app often to keep your matches fresh and to appear top on other searches. The app puts those who are on more often at the top of the list, which means you have a higher chance of finding the perfect match.

Discover the new and unique way of dating online that protects against scammers and is 100% free. Really. Your soulmate is out there. Download YoCutie (Android or iOS) now to find them!
