Making more of your dating profile on Muddy Matches

Does a picture really paint a thousand words?
In our experience, singles looking for love in the countryside on Muddy Matches tend to put more focus on the personal words in online dating profiles, than the photos.

One standout feature to discover on Muddy Matches is that our country dating profiles are more in-depth and a great deal more comprehensive than on other dating apps and websites.

Mud lovers tell us they love the extended bios as they offer a better feel for the lifestyle, background, habits and character of the people they match with, rather than simply making snap decisions based upon a photo.

We ask for a minimum of 50 words, and we find, by doing this, it encourages people to give greater thought and consideration as to what they say, and how they represent themselves. This results in a better quality profile to engage, and match, with as well as more grounded, meaningful message exchanges and connections.

However, we do recognise writing 50 words can be a stretch for some singles, though. So, here is a handy checklist of things to think about, and potentially include, to help you complete that extended bio.

1. Celebrate what you love about the countryside in all its natural glory.

2. Don’t scrimp on the specifics when talking about your favourite interests and hobbies.

3. Detail your future rural goals and your country life bucket list, no matter how realistic they are.

4. Ask friends to describe how they see you in 5-10 words.

5. Don’t shy away from talking about past life experiences and how they have shaped you.

6. Speak from the heart about what gets you up in the morning, no matter how obscure or odd it may sound.

7. Don’t be woolly about what you’d expect from a potential match when it comes to their outlook on life.

8. Don’t shy away from talking of the harsh realities of rural life, or those bits of it that may be more taboo.

9. Avoid these dating cliches and overused dating profile lines.

10. Embrace your life stage ‘baggage’ and celebrate it; from children to relationship past.

11. Think about where you are happiest, and when you are the best version of yourself.

12. Be authentic, and 100% you when it comes to your outlook on life.

13. Steer clear of the physical stuff and focus on your values and personality.

Having attracted over ¾ million singles, each looking for love in the countryside, Muddy Matches is no stranger to weird and wonderful dating profiles that champion the rural life in muddy boots. We find that dating profiles that are thorough, interesting and packed with talking points demand more attention.  

So be original, and give someone reason to respond.
