If you don’t have a video in your profile — and most men do not — you may be wasting time and money. This is why.
Having a video in your online dating profile helps you to screen candidates
You are looking for the right partner, but the lady is also making her choice. If you want women to write to you more, so that you know who is interested, upload a video. This way she can view it and decide if she likes what she sees. You will be pre-screening candidates and giving confirmation to the ones who are legitimately interested, while the ladies who are looking for something else will leave without wasting your time.
Even answering responses takes time! You will save a lot of time both to yourself and the girls viewing your profile, when you have a motion picture of yourself straight away.
Another reason to make a video is to confirm that you are a real person and not just a set of photos and texts. Women, just like you, are worried whether people on the other side of the screen are real.
With the level of cameras today’s mobile phones provide us with, it’s a missed opportunity to not have a video in your profile.
Having a video will help you to attract better quality women.
Videos make you more real.
Tips on making a video for your profile
- Duration: 30-45 seconds. People have very short attention span on the Internet today. No need for long introductions.
- What to say? All you need to do is just say ‘Hi” and explain why you are here on Elena’s Models (“to find a wife” will be the best message you can give to women).
- Energy. As you only have 30 second, speak fast. It will give you strong energy, which makes you attractive.
- Smile! When you smile, you look more handsome. Seriously.
- Find a nice background. You can make your shot outdoors in a scenic location, which would be awesome. Alternatively, make it indoors against a light uncluttered space.
- Good lighting. Natural light is the easiest to manage. This is why outdoor settings work great. If you are doing it at home, check how it looks. If it looks too dark, find a better lit place or bring a lamp that puts you in the spotlight.
- Dress nicely. Just like for your photos, put a long-sleeve shirt and trousers or jeans. No tie; a little bit more casual look is appropriate. If you have great biceps to show off, a T-shirt is appropriate. Best to avoid vests.

Do it today; don’t delay! It’s simple. You can always replace your video later.
Try it and see your results improve!
P. S. By the way… did you click on the picture with the white triangular sign? If you did, women do it as well. And the longer she is on your page, the more time she has invested in you, the higher is the chance she will contact you first. And if she contacted you first, she is invested. It will make it much easier for you!

What are the best activities to be engaged in on the video, Elena? A short video may actually contain a composite set of shots of your daily life I suppose. Also, other than a short hello, would a little music or dancing be a good idea?? Maybe a short video of myself visiting the local museum? I know what I would want to see but I have no clue what a woman would want to see!!
Roger,
No need to put photos in a video; you can upload them in your Gallery. 45 seconds is not much! 🙂 Just say ‘Hi’, smile, do something (dancing probably is not the best idea). I also don’t know what kind of a partner the woman you are trying to attract wants to see! 🙂
Do you mean “common” or “ordinary” rather than ‘vulgar’ in your last sentence? As in, “I also don’t know what an ordinary woman partner you are trying to attract wants to see!”? When I wrote about the composite shots, I was not referring to still photos but to a collection of mini-videos placed into a larger, longer single video. This is called a montage and could be a film of 45 seconds containing a 10 second introduction with me saying hello, followed by a 10 second action scene of me boating, then a 10 second scene of me playing with… Read more »
Roger, it’s about the type of woman you are trying to attract. What do they ask about in their profiles? Of course you can put several short fragments of videos together as one film. You can do anything! (Sorry for weird words; it’s iphone spell check playing around…)
I do have video. Do I really can upload only one vid? I had to delete previous to upload a new one.
Alya,
Yes, we only have the facility to uplift as one intro video in your profile. But you can send as many videos and photos as you wish in private communication.
Great opinion! Uploading a video to a profile – it means for me that a man is brave and more confident. A man should be honest. Communication on the Internet has features. The decision to look for a partner on the Internet – it is seriously! Downloading a video can be the first step for getting over shyness.
I don’t know why man are afraid of showing their real life. Yeah, I understand that each other wanna be pleased. But.. If you love the person, you will love his real life. For sure, you may share great videos with luxury life, but on what purpose. Girls love romantic, confident, nice guys. Your money package shouldn’t run in front of you.
What kind of videos are common? I’ve seen the girls videos and they just introduce themselves and do sexy body movements with music playing. Should mine be more of just talking to the camera or doing an activity? The only footage I have of me, is I’m in nature where I’m dressed like James Bond and I shoot an AK-47 into a river. I think it will only get girls who like the bad-boy bandits. I’ve shown it to girls who I have already met and they die laughing. I think they believe I am fishing. They even introduced me… Read more »
Blake,
Most girls won’t be able to understand what you say in English. So, no point saying anything beside saying “Hi, I am Blake”. Walk around you home and show it inside and what is outside, turn on yourself for 5-10 seconds tops. Seriously. They just want to see that you are real, how you actually look, how you sound, and that’s all. But of course all women are dying to see how you live. Remember it should be 30-45 seconds top.
Thanks Elena. I had to do way more complex things in Russian for my Russian class. So I’ll just do it in Russian = ) Мой дом – мой дача. У меня 8 гекторов.
Just don’t confuse дом & дача.
Дом (dom) — it’s a house where you live permanently.
Дача (dacha) — it’s a country-side weekender, small dwelling, what you would call a “cottage” in English (in Russian the word “cottage” means a cool house outside the city). Dacha is never something big or proper. Just a roof over head, usually very small.
ах… понимаю. Спасибо : )
