Devising a Dynamic Online Profile
Is it time for a personals perk-up or bio-makeover? Evaluate what you're saying in your bio. The wrong words could be thwarting your dating endeavors.
The online profile should be verisimilar to a movie trailer. Just like you don't want to see everything in the previews, no one wants to read know about you before they meet you. The winning key to writing a good profile starts with peaking interest, making them want to learn more.
Avoid the atypical cliché profile - If your bio reads like most of the other profiles on the majority of online dating sites like eHarmony or Match.com to name a few, it's time for modification. Add a unique quality or quirk about yourself. Take the highlights of your interests and turn them into compelling facets about you. For example, if you are a single mother, who enjoys watching plays tennis, your profile could read the following way:
When I'm not wearing two hats (career woman and and playing disciplinarian), I'm looking for a playmate to run ragged on the tennis courts.
Here's an example for a single man:
Never married, I'm a workaholic who's wants to share meaningful vegetated states of splendor talking about nothing.
Although, the above profiles are about the ordinary people, they make the person's profile engaging while inciting interest.
Employ candor - Stating that you're into kayaking in caves, when you have an aversion to being enclosed or confined, can only haunt you in the future.
Bleep negative statements - Expressing too many opinions could make you seem like high maintenance.
Up-sell your Assets. Employ humor and short analogies to provide a preview of your personae. For example: Although I'm not perfect, I'm looking for a mate to spoil, rotten.
Use photo finesse. - Upload a current photo of yourself. Avoid photos of you with friends and family. Take a poll, ask your friends and family for their opinion of your best photo. Don't digitally enhance the photo - unless it's the lighting that you are improving.
