Opening Lines Not To Use in Your Online Dating Profile
So now you know why opening lines in your dating profile REALLY matter as well as some of my favorite online dating profile openers. But what openers should you avoid at all costs?
Read on for some unfortunate dating profile openers I’ve actually run across:
- THE SKY IS FALLING!!! Now that I have your attention…
- Need a home?
- Looking for the one so I’m picky
- Seeking realattities (now either that’s a really bad typo or…)
- Beauty is in the eye of BEERholder
- I’m a liar and a loser (okay, i’ll admit I still had to look at his profile to see if he was being facetious - he wasn’t)
And then of course there are the all-time overused opening lines on online dating profiles:
- Looking for Mr/Mrs Right, Prince Charming or The One
- The one your mother warned you about
- Where do I start?
- Just looking
- Tired/sick of the games
- Where are the real men/women?
Hm. Did I miss any?
Please, I beg of you: don’t use any of these online dating profile openers. PLEASE.

You’ve made some really good points and made me think.

I guess emotional issues are of the higher lists… and revenge is really a common reason.

Really funny, Thanks
The most important thing in your opening line is to try not to be cliched but also to be honest.
I know that online dating is highly competitive now so your opener needs to be attention grabbing. However too audacious a headline could actually reduce your opening rate
