Create a Profile Username That Works for You

The username you choose for your profile serves as your identity on SetForMarriage.com, so it should represent you well.  A username is often the first thing people notice as they are browsing profiles, so choose one that will help your profile look attractive and get noticed.

One option is to choose a name that tells something unique about you, whether it’s a skill you possess, an activity you enjoy, or a place you love.  Pique their interest with your love for salsa dancing, your green thumb, or your many-stamped passport.  Try to choose a name that is somewhat original, because usernames like “niceguy” and “fungirl” don’t really stand out from the crowd.

Make sure to use correct spelling, and choose a username that is relatively short, easy to say and remember.  Keep your name positive, avoiding words like lonely and broken heart.  People are drawn to positive people, so starting things out with a negative tone will limit your dating options.

Also, avoid sexually explicit names, which do not convey the impression that you are set for marriage.  To protect your privacy, avoid using your real name or a name you use elsewhere on the internet.  It’s best to keep your real identity to yourself until you have decided to trust someone you have gotten to know.
