I review dozens of online dating profiles each day and work with clients to polish their profiles and no matter how many tips are floating around in cyberspace, people still seem to place their own personal ads as if they're selling a car. We're in a recession, folks! No one wants to buy cars right now, and if your online profile makes you sound like a used car salesman, then no wonder no one takes you seriously.
A jewelry ad or a gadget ad in a mail order catalog should not be your basis for writing yours. I understand that many people have a problem with describing themselves in their dating profiles, but the worldwide web offers a lot of internet dating tips that will tell you how you should go about it. I guess it's not that the internet dating tips you might have seen or heard over the phone from dating coaches that are faulty, but the understanding of these tips.
Here are some internet dating tips that could help you out. They certainly helped me a lot.
1. Write out your description in a conversational way.
You will want to attract the right kind of people, and by "right" I mean "ideal" according to your standards. Should you entertain or inform your viewer? I think you should do both, if you can manage it, as long as the story communicates the real you. Tell them a short story about you. This could be anything from a funny childhood story (without giving out personal information), or a funny perception of a mundane thing. The more comfortable you make your viewers, the more likely they will initiate contact.
2. Your objective is to charm your reader into reading more or learning more about you (or at least keeping you in his or her bookmarks).
If you combine the elements of humor, information and flirting in your personal ad, it will come of as a good read. And, what happens to good reads? They get bookmarked! Your prospect might not initiate contact asap, but you can be sure that he or she will find ways to do so in the future when he's scouring his bookmarks for someone to talk to. What if the dating site does not have a book marking option? Well, then it's probably not worth your while to stay there. But before you get out of there, you should probably talk to the administrators of the dating site for tips on book marking. They might have a system that you just don't know about, or they could be offering it as a paid service.
3. Write a long description only if you are certain that the reader won't get bored half way down the page.
The third of great internet dating tips is that "thou shalt not ramble." Going on and on is the same as talking someone's ear off. Giving them too much information bores your potentials, giving too little information keeps them distant. Break your profile into sections, paragraphs or bullet points. - 15431
