The Fine Line Between Confidence and Arrogance
While confidence is attractive, there's a fine line between self-assuredness and arrogance. Overemphasizing your achievements or qualities might make you seem unapproachable or insincere. From my experience, a balanced profile that highlights your interests and values can be more appealing.
The Importance of Authenticity
Being authentic is key in online dating. According to a study by the Pew Research Center¹, 71% of online daters say it's very common for people to lie about themselves on dating profiles. So, being genuine can set you apart. From what I have observed, profiles that reflect real personalities tend to get more matches.
