How to Write a Sizzling Personal Profile
By David Kamau
Your profile is the first
and perhaps the most important online dating tool. It is
what makes prospects decide to contact you (or not to).
Follow these tips to create a sizzling personal profile
that stands out from the crowd.
-
First make a rough draft of your
profile on a piece of paper or a word processing document
like Word, WordPad, or WordPerfect etc. Write everything on
this draft. Don’t worry about length just yet.
-
Your user name is a representation of
who you really are. It should anonymous but descriptive. If
you are seeking a serious relationship, avoid suggestive
names like “hotpants21” or “2hotnsexy”. Also, avoid the
trite and overused like “prince charming” or
“Betty1625”.
-
When picking a user name, it might
help to zero in on an interest, activity or personality
(examples, “friendly-n-affectionate”, “cutesmile” etc.). Be
original.
-
Know thyself. Ask your friends what
they like about you or what sets you apart. What makes you
good company? What are your most wonderful attributes? What
is it like to be with you? Put it all down on your
draft.
-
A photo is important. Surveys by
dating sites indicate that you are 10 times more likely to
be contacted if you have a picture in your profile. Post a
good, decent photo. Just don’t use a photo that no longer
represents your present appearance: this irks online
daters.
-
Be honest. Don’t lie about your age
(quite common online), appearance, education level etc. Be
yourself and show them who really are.
-
Use a good headline. Make it positive,
warm, open and descriptive. Avoid clichés and overused
phrases. Your headline should say something about you
(example, “Cute lady loves outdoor life”).
-
Be positive; avoid talking about your
failed relationships or bad past experiences.
-
Say what you want. If you are seeking
a serious relationship, or want to have kids with the right
person in the future, say it. This will help draw
compatible prospects.
-
Edit. It’s time to cut the clutter or
anything that’s not important. People are busy, so try to
make it short and sweet. Check your spelling and grammar,
and refine your personal profile before finally
submitting.
