First thing you should know is a great, clever or charming headline is NOT going to make a huge difference in your dating results and attention you get on POF.com. What is more important is a bad headline and avoiding those. Your dating profile headline should not have anything in it that could possibly create a negative mental image in the readers mind.
I am going to assume that you are a guy reading this right now. With that assumption in mind, generally speaking, women are looking for ...
Now obvously this is a gross generalization because although most women have similar character traits, they still are individuals with individual tastes, needs and desires. You also have to consider your goals. Are you just looking to get with a ton of women or do you want to meet Mrs Right? So if you are the type of guy that sits home most of the time watching TV and you want to meet a women who is also mellow and wants to do the same, creating a clever and exciting headline may actually work against you if your goal is to meet Mrs Right.
These are actually headlines I took from a few other sites, but they help give you an idea of how to craft a clever and interesting headline.
To create the best headline, keeping your personality and who you are in mind, answer the following question: 'what can I say in my headline that will make it so women become so crazy curious they can't stop themselves from clicking and looking at my profile?'
My personal opinion is women care about as much what your headline is as you care what their headline is ... not much, right. The first thing you look at when you check out a womens profile is her picture. If she looks attractive, then you look deeper into her profile.
A dating headline has one purpose only - to make you stand out from all the other guys in search results.
The best way to accomplish this, I found, is the use of special ascii characters in your headline. Unfortunately, recently Plenty Of Fish has disabled the ability to add these special characters to your headline. There still are some that can be used and I have included them below. Sprinkle a few of these into your headline and when a women is looking at the dozens of guys profiles side by side your headline will definitely stand out and get you noticed. For example, here is my Plenty Of Fish headline:
✈ ✌ ✎ ♪ ♫ ☀ ☁❆ ☽ ☾ ✆ ✔ ☯ ☮ ☠ ☬ ✄ ✏ ✡ ✰ ✺ ♕ thousands here
Another idea is perform a search for one line ascii art. All it takes is a little bit of effort and ingenuity to craft a Plenty Of Fish headline that is better than clever headline - a headline that stands out visually from the others and gets noticed.
