Tips for Choosing a Username on a Dating Website

20140727-194759-71279527.jpg

This was a real conversation I had with someone several months ago…

Tip#1 Have some self-awareness. If this dude replied and said he was referencing the Jeopardy skit from SNL that would have been one thing. If you’re a grown up you can be silly, but avoid anything too immature (i.e. 420, 69, Barbie, sexy etc.)

Tip#2 Don’t use the same username that you use for other non-dating websites! This was a big mistake that I made and some guy messaged me and let me know that if you google it, a lot of personal info comes up. Think: your youtube history, those comments you left on a grad school forum, your gamer profile, etc.

Tip#3 If you’re totally out of ideas just go for something simple like your first name and some numbers. Or a gender neutral hobby (I would never make one like “MakeupGirl” because no dude is interested in that).

The video I’m referencing:

 

Good luck!

  1. A good one I’ve seen is “Hangingmeat”. I assumed he was a butcher (haha) but after further discussion I realized that is not what he meant! 🙂
