Things not to put your profile
I can dress up to go to a black tie affair or can wear jeans (very generic and seen on almost all profiles) who would want someone that they couldn’t take to a wedding, c’mon, think about it.
Sense of humor…………sure everyone wants to date a drone. Put in the type of humor that you have and paint a picture of it. i.e. Seinfeld just cracks me up, a dry wit gets me everytime
My spouse left me and I feel like it’s my turn
Me, me, me instead of you, you, you………I can envision the first meeting. Boring, boring, boring.
I have 16 cats
I love to shop
I love sports, my favorite teams are the blah, blah, and the blah’s
I’m sensual. Walk the walk, don’t talk the talk!
I make over 100K
I’m attractive (especially if you’ve posted a picture) but it will always be my personal favorite dating faux pau because it tells me right away how narcissistic you are. Looks are in the eyes of the BEHOLDER, not the holder.
Things to make a memorable profile
Painting a picture of yourself. Describe yourself sitting on the beach with a margarita in one hand and an ipod in the other listening to Jim Croce.
Tell a funny story about yourself without describing yourself. A day in the life!
Differentiate yourself, look at other profiles first and see what everyone else is saying, then say something completely different. I had a dream where I was pair skating but the other part of the pair was missing. Do you ice skate?
Forget about desperately seeking Susan, it’s been done and re-done. Start thinking “do you like pina colada’s and do a take off on the words, it shows that you’re romantic.
Be unique………….what I lack in coordination, I make up for in my culinary abilities. At least, I don’t worry about tripping. Something cute but not klutzy.
Is it true? Do real men eat quiche? Be conversational versus descriptive. More fun to read.
Honesty………tell the truth regarding things you would enjoy seeing in another person. Don’t say that you like something because you saw a profile and the other person was interested in something but you liked their picture.
Spelling. May sound stupid but most people make too many typos which makes them look dumb. Spell check, spell check, spell check. Makes you look intelligent instead of intilligint. Your profile may say that you’re an attorney and then you say that. Women look for well written profiles. Spell check!
