Online Profile Writing
Sara Musfeldt
A well-written profile is equivalent to having good table manners on a first date. If you don't pay attention to the basics in dating either online or offline, you could miss out on a romantic connection.
An eloquent, five-paragraph essay isn't necessary, but having a logical and organized profile is necessary. You only have a few seconds to impress someone online so follow the basic rule of keeping it clean. Avoid slang and swear words (at least use them sparingly), avoid mentioning too many details, and stick to the point. Don't offend or bore the reader.
In addition to short and clean aspects of your profile, you need to be creative. This is a must, and maybe even more important than keeping it to the point.
Don't describe yourself in a clich or generic way. Read the profiles of ten women and men in your area with characteristics similar to yours. Research your written profile by searching out your competitors. In reading these profiles list the things those people mention and notice the pattern, for example, does almost everyone mention travel, interesting books or movies, and Chinese food? Be sure not to include those items in your own profile. Be different.
Similarly find ten men or women whose profiles you like the most and would be interested in getting to know. Again, read each profile carefully and make a list of the things he or she writes about. You should definitely mention any unique interests that you share in your own profile.
Once you've made a good impression on your potential connections with your profile, the point is for your suitors to see the common bond. For right now, just get him or her interested and woo them later in your e-mails.
