Creating a Winning ProfileLanding a date is all about presentation. You could be the best guy or girl in the world, but if you do not express yourself well or don't have the confidence, dating could be a difficult game. Yes, of course, there is the limitless world of online personals where you could be anonymous and comfortable. But even finding dates on the net could be slow going if you do not present yourself through an engaging online profile.
Your profile should project the sort of person you are, and the kind of date you are looking for. It should be somewhat attractive, so that someone browsing through the site would find you interesting enough to initiate communication. The way to make it eye-catching is not to lie through your teeth, you will immediately get caught out once you meet the person. Instead, you can be witty and humorous about your perceived shortcomings and describe your good qualities without looking arrogant or full-of-yourself.
As a recently published article says, it is definitely not cool to discuss your previous relationships on your web profile, or give reasons on why they did not work out. Bragging about personal, bodily or financial assets would also turn off most genuinely suitable people from approaching you. Dating experts instead suggest that you should probably tell a story about an incident involving you, so that your qualities shine through without the use of tired cliches or extra emphasis. A personal with an interesting headline and a few recent shots of you are also absolutely indispensable if you want a successful profile.
The biggest turn-off could be spelling mistakes, chat-speak, acronyms and failed attempts at irony, humor or sarcasm. If your writing skills are not at par, consider hiring people who know what they are doing to pen your profile for you. They would simply use their word smith skills to present you as you are, only without any gaffes. Dating online can be a great way to get to find love, but for that you've got to give your profile the attention and importance it deserves. Posted by eDatingCentral.com Jul 15, 2007 7:21 am
