The introduction is your own personal summary
Your introduction should be just as attractive. When you compose your introduction
line it must be intriguing enough to compel your reader to continue on. Generally
you’re limited on the size of your introduction to anywhere from a few hundred
words up to 1,000. Make this count and keep it pretty much to the point.
Avoid clichés like the plague
Don’t bother with clichés and other trite phrases. Being unoriginal and typecast may
work for bands like Nickleback but it won’t get you laid - avoid the usual titles at all
costs. The secret is to be as specific as possible: name a strange incident or
experience, an eerie quote from your favorite author, or a bit of a background that
would define who you are. I personally find it best to write a draft first then revise
it, which brings us to the next topic…
Some common clichés that you see all the time:
Love is a many splendored thing.
It sure is, but this cliché is used so often that no “love” will come from it.
All things grow with love.
Again, same situation. It sounds great but is so overused that it will not garnish any
attention.
Make it count, condense your draft.
No one wants to read a wordy profile that conveys no message. Many free online dating site profiles
suffer in the dark oblivion without hope of getting looked at because they fail to
relate anything interesting about the author to the person reading. You might be the
most romantic, handsome, charismatic guy in the world but you’re online appearance
is that of a 14 year old who can’t spell or form complete sentences. Put some time
into the “flow” of your summary. Make it count, it’s the second most important part
of your online profile.
