Meeting women online is a great way to practice a few techniques that will get you far in the long run. Online dating has the advantage of putting you in control of the situation, and avoiding the awkwardness of real-life rejection. But how do you get her to notice you? Your online profile is the key to success.

How you write your profile has everything to do with the sort of responses you will get. If you aren't getting any responses, you'll know you did it wrong. While writing a profile that gets response is an art form, it is also a lot simpler than you would imagine. There are just a few guidelines you need to follow.

Knowing what to avoid is as important as knowing what to include. These common mistakes will generate a complete lack of interest. Making a big show of being a "nice guy" is a huge bore, because you will end up sounding like everyone else. Including too many personal details is also a losing tactic. Posting a picture that is poorly lit, old, or completely unflattering is not going to do you any favors. If you do the above, you will find yourself wondering why no one is responding to you.

Okay, so if these are all no-no's, what can you do to ensure success? Good question. Start off by making yourself sound confident and fun, not needy and desperate. In other words, hook them with humor.

In his book, "Double Your Dating," David Deangelo refers to a type of humor he calls "cocky-funny". This technique works online and in real life. Try it and see. You need to make a girl feel like you are something special by keeping her on her toes a bit. Maybe you say, "Hot stud seeking supermodel to feed me peeled grapes." Knock them off balance by saying something unexpected and humorous.

Maybe the most important piece of advice is this next bit. Leave out as many details as possible. I know, it sounds crazy, but believe me, it works. This is called "being mysterious", and it means making her do some guess work. This gets her imagination going, and makes her want to know more.

And back to that profile photo: make it stand out. Know your best feature, and play it up. If you have a great smile, use it. If your eyes are your best feature, be sure to use a picture that shows them off. Don't use a picture of yourself with other girls, or in a setting that makes you look lame or boring (with your cat or in your office). Bonus points for showing off exotic places or exciting hobbies in the background.

Just remember these three tips: use humor to draw women in, keep it brief, and seal the deal with a picture that sells the image you want to get across. You can't go wrong if you follow this advice.
