Step 2: Making Yourself
Look Like A Million Dollars
Nobody is perfect
in this world but that does not mean that we cannot try to
look our best. There is absolutely nothing wrong in giving
nature a helping hand. Work on your image, work on your profile,
and work on your appearance.
Many people
go by the philosophy, “this is me, whether you like it or
not it’s your problem. I am not going to change.” Well, nobody
is asking you to change, but what are you trying to do? Scare
people off?
Well, the fact
is, such statements are just a manifestation of your own insecurity.
We all have a certain degree of insecurity, some people more
than others. It is this insecurity that makes us sound gruff
and uncaring when it comes to improving our appearances.
Come on, what
are you afraid of? I’ll give you a tip. Whatever you are afraid
of, others are afraid of the same thing. In this world, most
people are neither for us nor against us. They are thinking
about themselves.
Presenting oneself
is an area that requires a lot of work, but surprisingly,
this is the one area which people tend to neglect the most.
Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting
a picture about ourselves. When it comes to presenting yourself
we really have some work to do.
If we knew you
on a more personal basis we would have loved to help you to
chalk out a profile of your self that would be as impressive
as possible. But of course, it is impossible to know all our
readers on a one to one basis.
But you do not
have to worry because we have done a lot of study in this
regard and once you follow our directions, you can indeed
come up with that dream profile.
The
Dream Profile
One cannot take
too much effort in preparing a profile. It is something that
should be viewed in all seriousness. Please do not treat the
subject lightly. Imagine that you are preparing for a job;
won’t you spend a lot of time getting your resume ready?
Well, most of
us take up jobs for how long, four or five years? And how
about a relationship, definitely we do not embark on a relationship
with the expectation that it would last for just a couple
of years.
We have to understand
that a relationship is really worth much more than a job,
because it is probably the most important decision in your
life. So now let us discuss ways in which you can spruce up
your profile.
You can of course
get a professional to do the job for you since it saves you
the effort. You may have to dish out a small amount of course,
but it could be worth it. There are many people who have qualms
about including a picture in the profile. Well, I don’t want
to press the issue. It certainly does look better to have
a picture in your profile, but due to privacy issues you can
refrain from including a picture.
The best thing
you could do is once you are comfortable chatting with a person
and are convinced that this person does not have any devious
intentions, you could send your picture over as an attachment
or a file. But this, too, is best done a mutual exchange basis.
It would be unfair if you know what the other person looks
like but the other person is kept in the dark and vice versa.
The
Face In The Mirror
Now, coming to
the picture as such, if you are sending over a picture of
yourself, for heavens sake, send over a decent picture. It
should be a recent one and please do not make any compromises
about the quality. Get a professional to do the job for you
and with the digital techniques of today, they can do a very
impressive job.
At the same
time do work on your expression before the photograph is taken.
Stand in front of your mirror and try out various expressions
till you get something that you think is the best for you.
And remember that it has to be a picture of you smiling. You
should not have the classic hang dog expression, or the “butter-will-not-melt-in-my-mouth
expression”. Smile, it costs you nothing and it really lights
up a person’s face.
Now, the first
thing that you should do is take out a pencil and paper and
write down the raw details about yourself. By raw details
we are referring to things like you age, your height and your
weight.
This is the
skeleton of which we are going to work on. And when we have
added enough flesh and blood to this back bone, why even you
will be impressed by your profile! But first let us steer
clear of certain pit falls into which most people fall.
