Writing a Great Profile
Follows these keys for writing a great profile:
1. Always include a photo of yourself in your profile.
If you do not, people will skip over your profile,
assuming that you are ugly.
2. Always make sure the photo that you post is
recent and shows your entire face and body in an
unobstructed manner. You cannot hide what you
look like when you meet, and you are setting
yourself up for a really bad date if you show
up for your date appearing as something other
than what your date expected. Therefore:
- Do not post a photo of yourself where the light dims out your face.
- Do not post a photo of yourself where you fail to show your body.
- Do not show a picture of yourself as you looked five years ago.
3. Never show a picture with any person other than
yourself in the picture.
- You and people of the same sex = confusion.
- You and people of opposite sex = still in love.
- You and children = desperate.
- You and parents = yet to cut umbilical cord.
4. Always wear clothes in your photo if you are a
man. Bare chests mean you're pompous.
5. Always smile in your photo. People want to think
that they are meeting a happy person.
6. Always tell the truth. You want people to like you
for who you are. However, you do not want to
scare people from taking time to learn who you
are. Therefore, you should not offer certain
information if you are not asked:
- Do not disclose prior prison terms.
- Do not write about prior bankruptcies.
- Do not write about present or past drug, alcohol or gambling addictions.
- Do not write about psychiatric problems.
7. Always use proper grammar and spelling. Nothing
says to a potential date that you are a moron
more than not being able to spell, especially
considering we all have spell checks on our
computers.
8. Always keep your message positive. No one
wants to date an unhappy person or a
complainer.
