new to dating online

I’m new to online dating, for those with experience in the field, What is the most important advice you would give a newbie.

Put in effort

Take great photos

Fill out your profile

Don't just message "Hey/Hi"

I do take great photos but I don’t know how to show you all those great photos on this platform, haha

Different app work differently but, for mine(Racoon) its here.

Also i just noticed you name, if your a woman some things work a little different. Everything I said above is still the same though.

Don't take it too seriously. These are total strangers, go in with zero expectations, and just walk away if you are not having a good time. Other people know nothing about you either.

People take it way too seriously and get way too emotionally involved with photos on a screen, and have a bad time.

Stay away from Match Group.
