Below are the top five ways to improve your online profile:
You're writing for an audience.
Don't forget it. Ever hear of T.M.I.? Too Much Information? Just because you think
of something doesn't mean you should say it here! Want to date a hottie and nothing
but a hottie? Don't say it, just do it. Leadinf with your superficial side has never
helped anyone.
Adjectives mean nothing .
Anyone can write a similar list: "nice, smart, kind, warm, funny, honest, successful,
ambitious, family-oriented" If I can write that and you can write that, and
you mum can write that, how are we any different? Turn those adjectives into anecdotes
and your profile may actually sound different than every other well intentioned
adjective writer out there.
Activities mean nothing too .
Answer questions honestly about your height, weight, race, religion, etc. Be accurate,
not deceptive. Accurate: "I'm 180cm, 85kgs, with short brown hair and glasses."
Deceptive: "I'm an intellectual Adonis."
Ask yourself.
Can anybody else say the same exact thing?" You want a person
who is honest? You like to laugh? You're done playing games? Join the crowd. Better
yet, come up with a more creative way to express these same sentiments.
Leave the cliches to everyone else.
Listen, I think it's cool that you "work hard and play hard," are "equally comfortable
in a little black dress and a pair of jeans," and "are looking for your best friend
and partner in crime," but so is the next person on my search list. And the next
person. And the next.
