eHarmony is one of the online dating platforms I write profiles for most often.
The layout to eHarmony is made up of various sections with prompts, of which you can choose to answer. The prompts are free flowing and there is not a strict character limit, like Bumble and Hinge.
When I write online dating profiles my goal is to touch on lifestyle, things you like to do, values, and what/who you are looking for.
I appreciate the open-ended questions eHarmony provides. Often with other apps, the prompt options are too specific. The sections of eHarmony allow wiggle room to be creative.
These are my favorite sections, of which cover all these bases.
Passions
This section is your opportunity to share the key aspects of your lifestyle, your personality and what makes you you. What drives you, what fuels you, what brings out the best in you?
What I am Most Passionate About:
The Outdoors and Music.
I love getting outside and exploring nature. I’m happy strapping on my hiking boots and hitting the woodsy trails. I’d like to one day travel around the US and visit as many national parks as I can.
Going to rock concerts and filling my soul with music is one of my most favorite things to do. Sometimes there’s nothing like the feeling you get when listening to your favorite song.
What I am Most Passionate About:
I value my education and my career. I’ve always been driven to succeed and the proof is in my dedication to work hard.
What I am Most Passionate About:
I’m a recent empty nester and happily exploring my new found freedoms and flexibilities. I’ve been enjoying learning new hobbies and focusing on things I like to do for myself.
Leisure Time
This section is what people can expect when you tell them you are up to something. Generally speaking, of course.
This is where you share hobbies, activities and how you might be spending your free time – things that aren’t workforce related.
Think now and in the future. If you were to spend leisure time with a special someone, what would you be doing?
What are things you are going to do no matter what?
I typically spend my leisure time:
Most often you’ll find me making plans to catch up laughs with friends. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks and winding down my days relaxing by my firepit.
I also enjoy strolling through museums and attending football games.
I would like to go to kayaking and hiking more.
I typically spend my leisure time:
I like to be active and busy as much as I can, and what I end up doing usually depends on my mood. I especially enjoy all things outdoors, perusing bookstores, and cooking up great food in my kitchen. Sometimes, when I’m in a spontaneous mood I’ll hop in the car to see where the road takes me. I like to explore and discover new places.
I typically spend my leisure time:
I find routine boring and I like being busy and active. I enjoy learning and trying new things. I’ll be up for weekend adventures, strolling through museums, dining out at new/different restaurants.
Looking For
Put yourself out there and share what you are looking for in a person. You have an idea in your head of what a relationship in your life looks like. Describe it. Not in depth. There is a time and place to add more meaning.
Describe the substance. See who out there resonates with your words and is curious enough to find out if their perceptions, beliefs and goals align.

I’m looking for a man who is driven, hardworking and grounded; a man who values family, compromise and is also looking for a genuine connection.

I’m hoping to meet my best friend and equal partner; someone who appreciates a balance between companionship and independence. I’d like to meet a man who is fun-loving, playful and has a zest for life; a man who values open communication, honesty and integrity.

Little More
This is a nice easy-going open-ended section. It’s a place to add extra tidbit that might have clashed with the flow of other sections. It’s a place to add cute quirks, personality traits, lifestyle aspects, etc.
Little More About Me:
I’m very proud of the life I’ve built for myself and I’m excited to have someone to share it with (and me theirs).
Little More About Me:
I have an easy-going calm personality and I don’t sweat the small stuff. I like to be playful and goof off at times. My goal is to live in the moment more and not worry about things I can’t control.

I’m a proud dad of two grown sons. They are a couple of my best buds.
I’m strong-willed, driven and I believe in perseverance. I rarely back down from a goal I set for myself.
