Nobody wants to read a dissertation about your life, so experts recommend being intentional with your word choice.
"It's important to be short and to the point," O'Connor said. "It's also important to remember that there's a fine line between too boring and too playful where your whole profile is a bunch of jokes."
A good rule of thumb is to follow an outline created by Brian Howie, the host and creator of The Great Love Debate.
"Every profile should have three things you want people to find out about you, two things you wish to find in them, and one thing you hope to find together: 'I am A, B, C, looking for X, Y, let's run around the world and find or do Z,'" Howie said.
