Making a Good Impression Online
This is in reference to online dating. One of the things I usually ask myself when it comes to meeting people online is what is that I'm looking for in an online profile when trying to connect with someone? For myself, I would like to be the one to make first contact with certain prospects.That way, the woman I am interested in knows right off the bat that I'm interested in them. Of course I might get rejected but I also see it as her appreciate the value of what I have to offer in my profile. With my fiance, what turned me on about her profile was the fact she sounded intelligent, very humble, has a sense-of-humor(Pee Wee Herman lol), and very down-to-earth. On the flipside, I've come across women whose profile made them appear very conceited and high-maintenance. Those are HUGE turnoffs for me.
Another thing I learned about making impressions online is proper etiquette. I've had women who would respond to a message I wrote either a day later or two weeks later. My personal preference at the time would be a day later because then I would have known that she was interested. I would also try to say something funny like a quote from a movie.
In general, some of the stuff I described could be used to contact anyone online. Whether it's for dating, business opportunity or what have you, it all boils down to what you exactly say in your profile. I hope whoever reads this benefit from it.
How would you make a good first impression online?

have a nice display picture:)
having good things to say about yourself.. it would be bored me to death if your page is left blank.. always interesting to have ppl that are confident in themselves too
I make a good impression by being myself. I don't write just generic things - I write things that have some personality to them, that are more unique to me than the entire woman populace. When answering people, I'm polite but try to engage them in conversation, particularly if I think I'm interested. What does that mean? It means asking questions and/or commenting on things I've read in their profile and being my usual asshole self. And like aznsista said, having a nice display picture never hurts. I usually pick a flattering (but not unrealistic) series of 3-5 pictures of myself to post. Never anything more than a year old, since major changes can be made to your body in a year's time and I'm not a liar.
By being myself, I think honesty and uniqueness works well together.
By being direct. I don't use the internet to date people.
