Meeting People is Easy

Let’s get back to basics, HOT or NOTers. Whether you’re looking for a friend, a potential hook-up, casual dating, or a relationship, you’ve come to the right place to meet people – but how do you make a splash in this sea of eligible hotties? There are some basic criteria that make for a HOT or NOT profile that’s sure to send some attention your way.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It’s simple: putting up a picture of your cute mug is half the game. It’s certainly enough to pique the interest of a guy or girl looking to meet someone new. So, you caught his or her attention. Now what?

Looks don’t tell you much about your compatibility with another person, but that’s where the rest of the profile comes in. Get as specific as you can with your keywords since they provide a great indicator of whether two of you have any shared interests that could easily spark a conversation. For instance, these  -

are a bit more informative than these -

Your HOTList is another great feature that can get your interests out there.

Lastly, the Introduction box gives you free reign to write whatever you’d like about yourself, and you should put it to good use. It’s a great opportunity to give someone a glimpse into what you’re about. This intro -

is a lot more convincing than this one -

Write something funny, charming, and honest to entice someone to message you.

Expanding your Keywords and Introduction makes things easier for someone trying to come up with an idea for a first message that you won’t be able to resist replying to. It’s like the online equivalent of getting swept off your feet. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be on your way to meeting the best matches HOT or NOT’s got for you.

If you have any other helpful tips to share, then don’t be greedy and let us in on ‘em in the comments!
