A Guide to Write a Great Profile

Posted on by

OK … time has come. You joined an online dating service or two. Now you write that all important profile … one that will attract attention and reel in the man of your dreams … but where to start? Maybe writing is not even something you think you do so well. However, you can do that.

The first thing to be completely honest about yourself. Looking like the man who … maybe one day love … you …. The real you! Examine past relationships and list the things you liked and what you do not like. If he smoked in the house and you hated, you do not like it better next time. If you love cats and will always want to have one or more, say you’re an animal lover and want animals inside. Someone who hates cats or is allergic to them is not the guy for you.

Accent the things that make you unique. If you play the piano well, you really want Mr. Right to appreciate it. If you participate in marathons, a couch potato is not a good match. If you love art, you really do not want a man who thinks Picasso is an ice cream flavor.

Describe the things that are important in your life. If volunteering is the only thing that makes you feel useful and interesting, you want someone who would at the very least, support you if not join you in your volunteer projects. When you get beyond superficial things, you will attract men who share your values.

Invest in your online profile by hiring a professional photographer for the first line of image. This is very important. The image is the first thing people will see. Another thing is that they read, what you have written. Some online dating sites even provide a list of photographers in your area that specialize in online dating site photos.

Tips for How Do I Choose the Right Site For Me

Posted on by

With the explosion of online dating sites has a virtual smorgasbord of choices. There are free sites … I do not recommend, but if money is a real problem, they are better than nothing. There are large sites paid for with many different features such as chat, IM and even matching using profiles. There are less expensive paid sites with few features. There are special interest sites for almost anything you can think of … outdoor enthusiasts, couch potatoes, religious, non-religious, gays, lesbians … as I said … almost everything you can think of. So what’s a girl to do? A young girl must choose the sites that best suit their needs.

Here are some things to consider:

(1) Cost. How do you want or how much you can spend each month of your membership (s)?

(2) functions. What features are important to you?

(A) Profile matching systems. Is this a feature you really want or do you decide who is right for you alone?

(B) chat and instant messaging? There are sites that offer chat rooms and instant messaging on their sites. Does it matter or content to stick it to private email.

(C) The event was … such as speed dating? Interested?

(D) Privacy. Some sites to limit who can view your picture or your profile. This is the thing for you or you want as wide exposure can be?

(E) security. There are sites that do background checks of all subscribers and certify their age, marital status and origin. Would you feel safer using this feature?

These are a few things, but not all the things you should consider when choosing online dating service or services. Do your homework and choose wisely the best results for you.
