Disabled Personals: How to Make Yours Stand Out!

So, you've been browsing the disabled singles of your favorite dating sites and you're ready to get into the game yourself. How do you go about crafting a profile for yourself that will ensure dating, love, and maybe even marriage is on your horizon?

There are five basic tips, some more obvious than others, to advertising yourself online. And let's be frank: that's what you're doing! But if you don't have a knack for sales, don't worry. Here is a guide to getting personal.

1. Post a flattering, but realistic photo!

It goes without saying that you will need to have a photograph of yourself on hand as you join an online disabled dating website. Rarely will someone respond to a personal if it doesn't feature a picture - it makes it seem as if there's something to hide! So, go through your photo albums or take some snap shots of yourself and pick out a great pose. It's best if you're smiling. However, do not pick out a photo that makes you look better than you really look and do not make yourself look better with tools like Photoshop. As tempting as this may be, you're just setting up your date for disappointment and it might really sour your first encounter. So make sure the photo is recent and looks like you. Ask a friend for advice if you're not sure if the photograph looks good.

2. It's the details that count.

Don't talk about how much you like movies and music. News flash: everyone likes movies and music! To distinguish yourself from the pack, talk about some of your more personal quirks and unique qualities. Are you a night owl or do you like to snuggle up to a book every night before you fall asleep? Those are the kinds of details that truly reveal who you are as a person and not to mention, people looking for dating will be instantly interested in you.

3. Don't hide your disability.

Chances are, you are using dating sites that are designed for people who have physical handicaps, but whatever the case, be up front and honest about your limitations. Your potential mate will find out about them eventually and so there's no sense in keeping it under wraps. If you seem confident and comfortable about your disability, it will be all the more charming.
