Muddy Matches is an online dating website for country-minded people, but also have a Muddy Matches app and a mobile-friendly website, to allow people to access the website when they are out and about.

With more and more people accessing Muddy Matches and other online dating websites through a mobile device it’s now more important than ever to make sure that your profile is mobile friendly.

Your photo

When you send in your Main Photo to Muddy Matches for approval, we ask that you choose a photo where you can clearly see your face. This means that when people look at your profile they can see what you look like without having to zoom in.

A good, clear headshot is especially important on a small screen as you will just look like a dot if you choose a photo where you are far away from the camera.

Your profile

The first line of your profile is also a crucial part of your online dating presence, regardless of whether people are viewing it through a computer or a mobile phone.

The first line of your profile is the hook that draws people in to read more of your profile. So… don’t start your profile with “I don’t know what to say” or “I never thought I’d do this”. Instead, you should use the first line of your profile to tell people why you’re a great catch or to express your humour.

Messages

When it comes to sending your first message, it’s a good idea to keep it short and sweet, so that people can view it easily on their phone. One or two lines is enough for a first message.

Also, don’t wait too long to reply. We’re all used to receiving replies to text messages straight away, so we expect to receive fast responses on dating sites as well.

If you’re looking to download the free Muddy Matches app, just search for Muddy Matches in your phone’s app store.
