Things a little quiet on the dating front? Maybe you're looking for love with all the wrong adverbs. Take a little time to soup up your profile and those dates will start a'rolling in.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Time to think
A little creativity
A good picture of yourself

Step 1: Choose username

Choose a username that references a film, song, or movie star. One survey found that they get the most hits. The biggest turnoff? Usernames that brag about body parts.

Step 2: Use clever headline

Come up with a clever headline. "Real Life Romeo Ready to Woo-Woo His Juliet" is more eye-catching than "Relationship Wanted."

Step 3: Choose hobbies

Carefully choose which hobbies to include in your profile—and which to leave out.

Step 4: List desirable professions

If you're a guy and a doctor, lawyer, soldier, or firefighter, say so—women find those professions very "desirable."

Tip: If you're a woman, don't be afraid to mention that you're still in school—whether it's for cosmology or cosmetology—men like "students."

Step 5: Fudge a little

Fudge a little. Men who admit they're just looking for a casual relationship get far fewer responses, while women who claim the same thing actually get more. We're just saying.

Step 6: Describe body if nice

If can get away with it, describe yourself as "chiseled" or "toned"—research shows you'll get more responses than if you use the words "stocky" or "voluptuous."

Tip: Take physical descriptions with a grain of salt. Studies show that most men lie about their height, and most women lie about their weight.

Step 7: State salary if large

Guys, if you make a lot of money, say so. It can make up for a lot of shortcomings, if you catch our drift.

Step 8: Be creative with likes & dislikes

Be specific and creative about your likes and dislikes. Who doesn't love traveling and going to restaurants?

Step 9: Choose a flattering photo

Last but not least, choose a flattering photo of yourself to accompany your profile. But make sure it's current; dated photographs are dishonest, and dishonesty is an automatic turnoff.

"Dishonesty is automatic turn off."

After the several lies you're instructed to tell.

How about just being honest about who you are, and saving all the disappointments and dramas that come later on when the profile and person don't actually tally in the actual meeting/being together?

And why mention money at all, unless you're willing to spend it on someone who's likely not going to be there for the right reasons? Might as well get a hooker!

Don't "juice up" details too much ... few people want their time wasted or to be with someone who can't be their true self.
