If you're looking for a long-term relationship, it's critical to have a well-written and accurate profile. Here are some tips:

Spend a lot of time thinking through exactly what you're looking for in a partner, including what your "deal breakers" are. For example, if you will only date non-smokers, mention that to spare time/rejection for everyone concerned.
One exception to the above concerns the often sensitive subject of body weight and size... we'd advise leaving preferred physical criteria for potential partners out of your ad, completely.
Have a good picture to include with your profile... including a picture will increase by a factor of seven or eight the number of responses you get.
Describe your values, hobbies, and especially goals, in your profile. Don't be afraid to mention the "why" behind your life's interests.
Remember that people are better at detecting exaggeration and deception than you may think. Keep your profile honest.
You want to make a good first impression, so use a spell-checker if necessary.
