5 Effective (and Slightly Badass) Ways to Score With Mobile Dating

February 14th, 2008 MobileFreak

It’s Valentine’s Day. Today is the day you stand out from the crowd and score using one of the wildly popular mobile dating services. Here’s how to start getting loads of profiles sent to you in just a few minutes.

1. Let Them Know Where You Are

Most mobile dating services are location-based, and require the user to send in a zip code or street address so other singles in your area can be notified. Don’t forget to do this! In fact, some mobile dating sites “log you out” of that area after two hours, so be sure to keep an eye on your status.

2. Pick a Unique Profile Name

Again, real estate on a mobile device is slim, and often your user name is the very first thing others will see about you. Make it simple, memorable, and classy. If it’s real cheesy or even vulgar, then many users will skip right on by your profile.

3. It’s all About the Picture

While pictures are important for any online dating service, I’d argue they are even more important for mobile dating services. People do not like to read text on a mobile device, so they will lean on the picture even more. And make sure your profile picture has plenty of lighting, as the displays on the mobile device can be low quality. Plenty of light against a light background works best (and lose the light sabre Luke).

Girls should absolutely smile for their picture. Guys should smile too, but just enough so people know you it.

4. Be Different. Be You.

By filling out every field in your profile, you will absolutely stand out. Remember, some users will have more time to browse profiles than others. If you only fill out the required fields in your profile, people will assume you are not really trying to find someone. Besides, people will want to know more about you before they decide to initiate contact. So tell them!

5. Get Started

You can’t score if you don’t shoot! Here are a couple of the most popular mobile dating services out there. You know how to land a date quickly, so get out there and give it a try today!
