Online Dating Tips: Secrets of Writing a Great Profile
Author: John Abbot  | Posted: 24-06-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 140 | Rating: (133)  (?) 
Oh oh, here it is, the hardest part of registering on that new Online Dating Site. Youve finished filling in page 1, the boring contact and password details. They said that would be a matter of seconds, but it took you 15 minutes and a cup of coffee (or maybe a red wine or mug of beer) just to think up that clever username.
Then you got through page 2, all the multiple choice and check the boxes stuff; you're a non-smoking, social-drinking, divorced, 34 year old, with 2 kids (dont live at home), no stated religion, no disclosed income, who loves dogs but doesn't have one, and is definitely not a vegetarian.
But now youve been staring at page 3 for over 30 minutes and another coffee (or couple of wines, etc) and you have developed a sudden understanding of, and sympathy for, writers suffering from the dreaded writers block. Because now youre being asked to write a few descriptive sentences about yourself, and that is not easy.
How do you announce to all those beautiful women members just how amazing and wonderful you are without appearing to be a braggart. You know you are the catch of the day, but how do you put it in words so that they will all know it. Finally you write I'll tell you more later, and go take a long shower.
Well it doesn't need to be that way. Try doing this:
1. Don't try to write your autobiography, a few simple lines revealing one or two aspects of your deep and multidimensional character will suffice. In other words KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). You don't want to tell her your life story in your profile, or youll have nothing to tell her later when you are getting to know her. Just say a couple of things that any woman will love to know.
Example: "I am a hard worker and love my job, but I know how to set it aside and enjoy quality time with the woman I love. Now I just have to find her." This tells her you are stable, secure in your job, romantic, devoted and caring, plus you are looking for her. What more does she need to know?
2. Be specific, not general. General is boring, specific paints a picture.
Example: Dont write "I love a good movie", write "One of my favourite moments was watching Body Heat when Kathleen Turner said to William Hurt 'Youre not very bright are you? I like that in a man.'" Now (assuming she is old enough to have seen Body Heat) she knows you have a sense of humour and humility, you like good movies, and she can picture herself enjoying a good, fun bit of verbal sparring with you. She is bound to want to know more.
3. Be personal and dynamic, not impersonal and passive.
Example: You do not "like to look into a womans eyes", you "ache to gaze into the eyes of your true love, to seek the depths of her soul, and to see the world as only she can see it".
The above 3 examples are all you need for a complete profile that will have her begging for more.
Now one last point. No matter how much work you have to go to, write your profile in good English. Spell every word correctly, use perfect grammar and complete sentences. Bad English does not prove you are not intelligent, but it does leave it open to question.
You profile is what will cause every woman on that dating site to either be keenly interested in you or to pass you over like a bad case of the flu. Bad English will cause her to totally miss or overlook all the clever and catchy thoughts you have expressed, especially if she herself does not speak English as her native tongue. How can a Chinese woman look up in her dictionary and translate your words if you don't spell them correctly? How can she know you ache to gaze into her eyes if you write that you "ake to gais into her ize"?
Now, if you follow these simple tips, you can write that great profile in the time it takes to drink one cup of coffee or one glass of wine, then quickly move on to searching for the new love of your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Very COnfused
By: confusedonlife | 30-08-2008
I'm 22 years old. Currently going through a divorce. I have met this guy who seems to be amazing. There is quite a bit of an age difference. like 20 years. Only probably is that he still is living with his ex wife. He says its because of his kids and because she is very sick. We have a lot of mutual friends so I know this is all true. He tells me that hes going to be moving out and in with a friend of ours. My problem is that there are a lot of times that we have plans and then he just doesn't call or cancels last minute. The times he doesn't call he always blames it on her says she was going crazy or something along the lines of that. He told me when we first started talking that he has a lot of baggage. Which I totally understand but now that my feelings are growing for him, its getting harder to deal with the not calling and the getting blown off. I actually have a couple questions. 1) Will the age difference cause a problem. 2) What do I do about the being blown off 3) Should I just walk away from this situation 4)I'm beginning to think his feelings aren't the same as mine for him. What does everyone think.... Please help me!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone.... You all have really givin me somethings to think about.... Its a very complicated situation. I knew going into this that it was going to be hard, I just never imagined that it was gong to be this hard. I guess I never thought I could fall for someone who is so much older than I am. Right now we are in the process of getting his truck fixed so he doesn't have to drive her car, and once we do that he says he will be moving out. It might be a little bit because money is very tight on his end. I guess she found out about me the other night. He told her I was a friend of his who is helping get the truck fixed. I'm very unsure how I feel about that. I mean I kind of understand why he didn't really tell her who I was but at the same time it kind of hurt. It made me question what I really was to him and how he really feels about me. He told me that its kinda like he told me in the beginning that its gonna be ruff for a while but once he gets truck back and moved out things will be better, its just gonna be a month or 2. We had a pretty good talk Saturday night about somethings, honestly it didn't really clear anything up for me, but on a brighter note he actually showed up and we spent the night together. Him, my daughter and I. It was very nice! Sometimes I just want to walk away. Sometimes I feel like that song by Sugarland - Stay. Its a country song. lol. The times that I think to just walk away is the times that he shows up and does something to just blow me away, and then I just can't leave. He makes me so happy when we are actually together and when he actually shows up. Its really crazy how happy I get, its just the times that everything is so bad for him at home that he can't call or come like he said he would its times like that that just tier me up inside. He means so much to me and he is just amazing when he has the time for me. I know hes busy and I know he has a lot on his plate right now which honestly so do I. Its just I wish things were different because I know we could be amazing together giving different circumstances. GRRRRRRRR this just makes me so mad sometimes. I don't wanna turn my back on him because I don't want to turn my back on something that could be so good I just don't know what else to do. Sometimes I feel like he ignores me and that I'm the last thing that crosses his mind. I guess I'm just so lost still that I don't know what to do or think!
