How often do you update your online dating profiles?

1. Been almost a decade at this point I guess.

2. Stop using dating apps

3. My wife wouldn’t appreciate me updating my daring profiles these days, but when I was using them I would add new photos as better photos of me were taken.

4. Two years after I got married I thought I’d go back and update it letting people know it can work. That was a decade ago, don’t even know if the site still exists

5. I’ve not used OLD in 8 years. I think those in that other thread of yours are correct about updating photos. Demonstrating that you can take enough of an interest in presenting yourself well is a universally good sign. It can seem like an ordeal to many men because we’re not generally spontaneous photographers. Asking friends and family of ours can seem desperate and vain. That is where professionals can be of service.

6. What is this, 2018? We’re still doing online dating?

   I was pretty sure that the internet agreed that online dating is a shitshow.

   If you want to meet people, find a hobby, and look for social communities around those hobbies. Trust me, it’s far more effective.

7. Photos, *maybe* once a year. I don’t take a lot of selfies and I live hundreds of miles away from my friends and family, so the good photos are few and far between.

   The rest of it, a few times a year. Maybe more often if I’m trying out something very different, but mostly I just let it sit. Nothing makes much of a difference anyway; I’m not terribly good-looking and I don’t want kids, which leaves me with very few options to begin with.

8. Dating websites don’t work because women don’t really want to date. They just want to cry about not having affection (getting attention) and then ignore guys that show interest in them. I did a research study once and found out that women respond to 0.001% of messages while men respond to 99.999% of messages. You will likely have to send thousands of messages to get ONE reply.

9. It depends on how seriously you’re looking for a partner. If you don’t care, then don’t try. If you do care, then you should try your best.

10. Every time I take a cool new picture, I replace an old one I don’t like anymore.

11. I don’t!

    I just delete my profile after 2 weeks, as soon as the ‘new profile boost’ wears off.

12. Its been years, i mostly don’t use them anymore

13. I haven’t had an online dating profile for 6 years, lol

14. I dont have one, after a bit of use it was pretty clear that its useless

15. I get absolutely a lot of use out of online dating, but then again, I did put a LOT of thought into the profile

    ​

    I am only tweaking it a little every 6 months or so

16. A lot of losers in this thread. Whenever you don’t look like your photos, you should update them.

    Online dating works if you’re not obese like the majority on this sub that complain about it.

17. Photos every few months or so. Bio I was refining every couple weeks.

18. I do not have a dating profile. It’s futile

19. I try to update mine every few months. But I also am trying to show off my gains so that is probably why lmao.
