Basic Profile Information That All Dating Sites Will Ask For (Part 2)

The following is a list of information that a reliable Internet dating site includes in their series of questionnaires. This list pertains more to the social background and preferences of the members.

Location: The site wills either ask for this information in their list of questionnaires or they can simply obtain the answer from checking your zip code (although the name of the city may not be accurate). You may not want to give out your actual location for security purposes (especially if you live in a small town.) In this case, you can change the zip code after registering. Giving a different zip code is also an option, although it may create a problem when you use your credit card. Other alternatives include getting a P.O. Box or a mailbox etc. address.

Education: This includes high school, college (community or university), and also gives you options of degree names such as M.D., PhD., BA, etc.

Occupation: Some sites are very general about this question. They give a list of choices so you don't really have much room to explain what you really do. Of course you can always add more information on the essay, if provided.

Income: Most sites show income brackets. One very common and appropriate answer is "I'll tell you later."

Drinking Habits: Yes or no, and how often.

Smoking and/or Drug Habits: Yes or no and how often.

Sexual Orientation: Many sites ask about your opinion or how open-minded you may be in regards to gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.

Some of the questions below may be important to you and some of them are just interesting facts about the members. If you feel that these questions are crucial to you, you need to choose a site that requires specific answers to them.

Describe Your Ideal Mate: This question often reveals their expectations and preferences.

Opinions About Children: Whether they want kids, and how many. To some people, this question is very crucial and determines whether they want to pursue any kind of relationship with that person. Some people are looking for specifics on children such as their age and whom they live with.

First Date Expectations: This question often reveals information about the person such as their beliefs about dating and what they look forward to.
