How
To Write A Good Online Dating Profile
Knowing how to write a good online dating
profile could make the difference between attracting the man
of your dreams and wasting time with guys who are not right
for you at all. Your profile is your 'store window', what makes
people want to come on in and know you better.
Take time to write your profile - it is important. Often,
when a person joins a dating site, the profile is something
you have to do right away. The site will not let you get in
and see all the other members' profiles until you have done
it. So you rush through, writing the minimum in each spot,
thinking you will do a better job later, because you are excited
to get in.
Then it could be days, weeks or months before you write any
more. Meanwhile, you are not giving other members the chance
to see you at your best.
Most sites have a 'new members' section where they display
the profiles of people who just joined. This is a big reason
for writing the best profile that you can, right from the start.
Guys who have been members for a while will be looking here,
and if your profile just says 'I'll do this later', what will
they think? Not much, probably.
Your first few hours and days as a brand new member are the
best chance you have to attract attention to your profile.
So make it good.
You probably already picked out a photo. If not, it should
be a recent one, showing you in the picture and nobody else.
It is best if you are smiling. Make it head and shoulders only
if the display is small. You can usually put other photos in
a gallery, if you want to show yourself skiing, with the dog,
etc.
When you are describing
yourself, try to pick out the things
that make you unique. You do not want to sound like everybody
else here. Be as specific as you can about what you like. For
example, instead of saying that you like movies, give the names
of a few of your favorites. Instead of saying that you enjoy
eating out, say that you like Thai food.
If there is something
unusual about you, such as red hair,
a special talent or skill, or even something that you consider
to be a disability, make a feature of it. The more you say
about yourself the better, as long as you say it in a positive
way. Something like 'Only having one arm doesn't stop me loving
life, driving a car and doing most everything else a person
would want to do.'
On the other hand, do not close off your options by writing
too much about what you don't like, or being too specific about
the person you want to meet. If you really don't want to meet
smokers, Republicans, guys with kids or guys who drink, you
might want to say so ... but think first whether you are sure.
What if a guy only has an occasional beer? What if he has a
child somewhere that he never sees?
In the same way, if you say that you like tall, muscular,
dark haired guys, you will be limiting your options. A guy
who is blond will click away without contacting you, and so
will a guy who doesn't think he is particularly tall. Do these
things really matter so much?
If you still have no idea what to write in your profile, get
a little help from your friends. Ask five friends or family
members each to tell you one thing that they like about you,
and one thing that is special about you. Put those together
and almost instantly you will have a good online dating profile
that will attract the right people - the ones who will like
you when they meet you. Click

what goes on inside a man's head & understand completely
what they really want from you. It's my KissMeGoodnight
