Online Dating Profiles Editing and Proofreading Services

"Love travelling, food and laughing. Looking for someone genuine who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Ask me anything!" Nobody can ask that anything. There is nothing in it to ask about, which is why the profile gets matches and no messages, and why the person writing it concludes the app is broken.

We edit dating profiles and the writing around them — profile text and prompt answers, opening lines and first messages, bios for different apps and their formats, photo captions, and the short descriptions used on professional-adjacent networking platforms. Our editors work on a few hundred words that have to give a stranger something to say.

The specific detail that invites a reply is what a dating profile is for, and its failure is a list of likeable qualities. A profile is not an advertisement; it is an opening for a conversation somebody else has to start. We work through these so at least two details are unusual enough to be asked about, since "I love travel" is shared with most of the app and "I once got stuck in a Bulgarian bus station for eleven hours with a man who taught me to whittle" cannot be sent to anybody else; so the details are things the reader can respond to rather than things that merely describe, because the useful test is whether an easy question exists after reading it; so the qualities everybody claims are cut entirely — genuine, down to earth, adventurous, not taking oneself too seriously — as these appear on almost every profile and therefore identify nobody; so one thing is admitted that is not obviously attractive, given that a small self-aware flaw reads as a real person and a flawless profile reads as marketing; so what the person actually wants is stated plainly enough to filter, since a profile that appeals to everybody attracts the wrong conversations; so the ordinary parts of life appear alongside the interesting ones, because a profile made only of highlights is not a person anybody can picture a Tuesday with; so the prompts are answered with something specific rather than with a joke that could be anyone's; and so nothing is written that would have to be walked back on a first date. Profiles written this way get messages worth answering.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including profiles, photographs and personal information. We are editors rather than dating coaches or advisers, and we offer no view on relationships, apps or anybody's prospects. What we can do is give a stranger something to ask about.
