How To Create An Eye Popping Online Dating Profile!
Are you considering the possibility of using an Online Dating
Site to find the Date or Love of your dreams? Yes? Well, did you
know that the most important part of finding your special
someone through online dating is your profile. As explained in
my book "the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook" even if you plan
on being proactive in your search, you will still need a stellar
profile. Why? Mainly because anyone you email, wink or nod will
most likely use your profile as a way of deciding whether or not
they wish to respond to you. So, how do you create an eye
grabbing profile? Here are 6 steps that will get you on your way
to dating ecstasy.
1- Take as much time as you need to build your profile, there is
no need to rush through his process. Read each section carefully
and be sure to give as much information as you can. In the "talk
about yourself" section be sure to have more then just a just
couple sentences. You must remember that potential dating
partners are reading this info to get a feel of whether or not
the two of you might "hit it off". So tell them about yourself.
Your likes, your dislikes etc.
2- You want to standout from the crowd. There are lots, and I
mean lots of "I'm a 26 year old SWF/SWM who likes movies and
swimming". You need to be more specific so you can create an
interest in you. After all you are creating a sales page for
yourself. What are your favorite movies, t.v. shows, music,
singer, group, etc? Do you have any hobbies? Play sports? Yes?
Then tell people about it. Do you have a great sense of humor?
Then show people that great sense humor.
3- Remember that being negative is not an attractive trait in a
date. Be positive about yourself. You really don't want to say
things like "I'm doing this on a dare" or "I'm just trying this
out for the hell of it". You won't be taken seriously with this
type of comment. And, don't be concerned about looking for a
date or romance online, you won't be thought of as being
desperate. Just like you, 61% of American Singles will look for
a date online this year. That's a lot of dates! So project a
Happy you, sadness isn't an attractive trait either.
4- Be honest about yourself. You can say you are as funny as Jim
Carey or as hot as Pam Anderson, but if you're not your
potential date won't be impressed. Remember that there is always
the possibility you will take you online romance offline and
meet face to face. So be honest, you'll get great dates just
being yourself.
5- Use a spell checker! There is nothing worse than reading a
profile of someone you think you might be interested in and very
fourth word is incorrectly spelled. Sure, we're not all great
spellers, but you know that squiggly red line under half of your
text, well, it's there for a reason. Create your text in a word
processor, then copy and paste it into your profile. This way
you can save it and use it again if you sign up for more than
one dating site. It will also allow you to tweak your profile
from time to time.
6- This one is a given - Upload a photo or two. As part of your
profile, the photo is one of the most important parts. If you
decide not to upload a photo, again you will not taken
seriously. Even if you don't consider yourself terribly
attractive, believe me there are hundreds of people out there
who will. Just think about this, When you're reading someone's
profile, how important would it be to see a photo of that person?
Well, what you have above are the basics. You're ready to get
started. Hope these tips will help you to create an eye (date)
catching profile.
