Creating the perfect dating profile is really tricky, as there is a need to strike the right balance between emphasizing on one's attributes and being honest.

According to eHarmony's Annemarie Gallard, one should not appear boastful or self-centered, as it can leave people second-guessing themselves, and that it is important pick a great picture for the profile, News.com.au reported.

One should makes sure that their profile picture is an accurate representation of who they are and should avoid using a photo which is three years old or shows someone thinner or younger than they actually are.

eHarmony says that people involved in online dating should make sure that they double-check their spelling and the grammer in their profile description.

One should always avoid being vague and provide examples to give their profile colour, while highlighting the positives about themselves.

The dating website also said that negativity puts people off, so people should try to avoid saying what they hate, or describing the matches they won't communicate with.
