How Does Biker Dating Work?
Biker dating services are basically a community of bikers who socialize and hang out with one another online, and one of the best things about online dating is that you get to specify the type of person that you are looking for.
Most Biker dating services will ask you to subscribe to the websites for a small fee. Alternatively, some sites will offer a free trial to begin with, with subscription charges at a later stage if you liked what you saw.
The first thing you will be asked to do is to fill in an application that meets that guidelines and requirements for the site. Some sites even go as far as doing background checks before the application is accepted.
You will then be asked to make a profile (read my tips section creating a winning profile) with basic information about yourself and to upload photos. Every biker dating service will ask for different information for you to express yourself in your profile, but they are always very simple to fill in. Once this has been done you will be able to send and receive enquiries as well as chat with other bikers on the site.
General Biker Dating Tips
- You have to be patient. Don’t be scared away if your inbox is not buzzing with responses overnight. Also, online relationships require just as much patience and effort as traditional relationships
- Use your free trials. Test the compatibility of the types of people that use each biker dating service. You may find one that attracts more people in your area for instance
- Think Seriously about upgrading your membership. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, this will allow you to enjoy more benefits that will help you to develop that special relationship. For instance you may be able to send emails instead of just flirts or have the opportunity to add more personal touches to your profile, selling it better as a result. (Most dating sites let you send “winks” or “show interest” for free.) It will also show your potential partner that you are serious about online dating and not just taking the mickey.
- Login often. Most online biker dating sites will give your profile more priority if you log in regularly. Also, you would not feel that inspired to contact another single who had not been online for over a month, so why would anyone feel any different if the same applied to you
- Bigger is not always better. What I mean by this is that sites that boast having millions of members may not have many singles with similar interests to you. It may be better to stick with the smaller, targeted sites
- Manage your email addresses. It can get real embarrassing if you start sending emails that are intended for one person, to another. For instance you many have been chatting to lisa2 for a long time and are at the point where you can crack rude jokes. You may have also just started chatting to lisa23 and you don’t want her to think you’re a freak when you send her that joke about your grandmother’s pants!
- Add that special touch and keep it real. Research has shown that those people who wrote letters or sent gifts tended to strengthen their bond more than those who didn’t
Top Tips on Creating your Dating Profile
Creating a profile is like creating an advert! It’s your chance to stand out from the thousands of other members in the biker dating site and so you need to put a little bit of energy into how you present yourself. Use your creativity and don’t be afraid to try something new!
- An impressive profile header is a great way to get noticed
- Actually fill in your profile. Imagine the frustration and disappointment when someone has made the effort to click on your profile to learn more about you, only to find that you could not be bothered to fill in… not a great signal to send out!
- Stories are better than lists. It is also good to tell stories about yourself in a way that people can relate to, rather just listing facts yourself. This very human interaction – keep>
- Upload a quality photo. Profiles with clear, good quality photos get more hits than those without. (Fact!) It may also seem a little suspicious if you do not upload your photo. Don’t make potential partners feel as though you are hiding something
- If you’re sending emails – make your subject intriguing. You have no idea how many emails the person on the other end is receiving and you don’t want your message to be deleted without even being read
- It’s also a good idea in your message to ask a question or make a statement relating to that person’s profile. This is a good way of showing that you’ve actually made the effort to read it!
Biker Dating Safety Tips
Unfortunately there are always people trying to take advantage of others and so it is wise to exercise caution when you start a conversation with another member of a biker dating site.
- Don’t include too much personal information in your profile, such as your personal home address, telephone number, or email address. For example, if you are going to reveal your occupation, don’t give the name of the company that you work for
- In the same light, avoid creating a profile name that gives away too much of your personal identity – best to use a nickname or only your first name
- I would always recommend creating a separate email address for online dating but using a free account at Google, Hotmail, Yahoo ect
- Even better is to use a messaging system, as this is safer than email
- Be sure to turn off your automatic email signature when sending emails to prospective dates
- Finally, pay attention to the consistency of the information that you are being given, and use your instinct!
