1. Choose the right main photo
Your main photo is the first (and sometimes only) thing others see. Studies show that photos where you're smiling naturally, outdoors, with good lighting receive up to 3 times more likes.
Do: a waist-up portrait, genuine smile, natural lighting.
Don't: bathroom selfies, group photos where no one can identify you, photos with sunglasses hiding your face.
2. Use a variety of photos
On Loviam, you can add up to 6 photos. Use them to show different sides of your personality: a travel shot, an activity you love, a moment with friends, your pet.
Photo variety makes people want to learn more about you and creates natural conversation starters.
3. Write an authentic bio
Skip the clichés like "I love to laugh and travel" — everyone does. Instead, talk about what makes you unique. Your passion for Thai cooking? Your vinyl collection? Your ability to binge-watch an entire series in one night?
A good bio is short (3-4 sentences), specific, and makes people want to message you. For example: "Adopted Londoner on a mission to find the city's best ramen. Bonus points if you know your shōyu from your tonkotsu."
4. Be honest about what you're looking for
On Loviam, you can indicate what you're after: a serious relationship, something casual, friendship, or "not sure yet." There's no wrong answer, but being upfront saves everyone time and avoids misunderstandings.
Profiles that clearly state their intentions get more compatible matches.
5. Complete your profile 100%
A complete profile is a visible profile. On Loviam, algorithms favor filled-out profiles: preferences, bio, multiple photos, additional info. The more complete your profile, the more you appear in discovery results.
Take 5 minutes to fill everything out — it's an investment that pays off.
