Not all people are blessed with the knack of writing an excellent dating profile.
Doing it is a lot like composing an ad that is meant to attract potential buyers - it has
to be convincing, appealing and honest (to a degree). If it’s your first time to design
your own dating profile, here are the nuts and bolts to guide you.
Just a little note to the ladies: Most of the examples I use are for men. Women tend
not to have problems getting responses from guys inside online dating sites (guys usually
blast out messages to just about anyone, women are more specific). If you need
advice on writing a good female ad many of these rules still apply, so fear not and
keep reading.
Titles are the most important part of an ad
Use a catchy and interesting title. Since everyone is going to read your profile, you
should make it as original, honest and easy to remember as possible. Get your ideas
from your own interests , experiences, and personality but don’t just say you’re
spontaneous and exciting – prove it! Above all - you’ve got to be unique (very, very
unique)
Examples of good and bad titles:
Fun guy looking for fun girl.
Too general, no one looks for dull girls – an no fun girls look through dull profiles.
Let me show you what a real man is like.
Immediately after which they’ll show you the ‘block user button’ this is way to
intimidating and challenging to a mate.
Will you guide my way?
Approaching “decent” level profile title. It definitely stands out from the others but
most women are looking for a package with all it’s nuts and bolts – no assembly
required if you know what I mean.
LOST: True love, reward if found.
Bingo, though it’s pretty general the title is definitely unique and will get the reader
past the initial first click. The introduction should reflect a caring, compassionate,
and romantic person just like the title indicates.
Skydiving accountant seeking rock-climbing business woman
Another good one liner. The activity describes the person so much more than just an
adjective like “exciting” or “adventurous” could.
