Is
Your Profile Working For You?
By
Brenda Ross
Determining
factors could be:
-
Age: Keep an open mind about
age ranges. You never know who
you might meet. Cutting off
someone who's 31 because you
wish to meet 26-30 could be a
mistake, because age isn't
really a determining factor
when it comes to personality
and life experiences.
-
Location: Some people refuse
to date anyone outside of
their home radius, but many
have found that their perfect
sweetie just happens to live a
bit farther away than
desirable. If you and this
person are as compatible as
most have found when dating
long distance, it could very
well be worthwhile.
-
Possible turn offs: You smoke,
you don't want children, If
you are a man, you are shorter
than some women prefer, you
sound boastful, you mention
sex too soon, often, at all,
etc.
-
How does your bio/profile
read? Is it negative at all?
It's best to keep your bio
short, positive, friendly and
witty. What you want is to
grab his or her attention.
Save your life story for
later.
-
Are you articulate? Spelling
errors and grammar represent
you, so use spell check.
-
Do you display any humor in
your profile? Humor is a big
draw to almost everyone, and
it draws women like a magnet.
-
Do you photograph well? Does
your photo reflect that? Ask
your friends (of the opposite
sex) to give you their honest
opinion. It's always better to
show more than one photo of
yourself, as it gives people a
better idea of what you
actually look like.
Suggestions: A close up of
your face, a full body shot, a
candid shot, and an active
shot. Quality is important
as well. And remember, not
posting a photo at all could
get you overlooked entirely,
so be brave and post a few
pictures!
-
Can you go head to head with
some of your competition?
Remember, the only thing that
people can truly tell from
your (online) representation
of yourself is if you are
articulate and if you have a
sense of humor. These things
cannot be faked. So play up
these important qualities, and
you'll be ahead of the game.
-
Do you have any special skills
or achievements? If you do
volunteer work, love to paint,
cook, play an instrument, or
participate in anything that
someone else can connect with,
it's important to list those
qualities.
