One of the questions I am most often asked is how to write a profile for online dating.
This article contains my secret tips that will get you truly mind-blowing results.
It is not enough to just write another boring dating profile.
These are just white noise.
You want to write something that will get you a hurricane of profile-visitors and a tsunami of emails! Title Attention-Grabbers...
Newspapers have used titles or headlines for centuries.
And why? Well, because they grab attention! At the top of your profile - in bold if possible - make an attention-grabbing headline.
Examples: I'm 70 But I Can Still LIMBO! I believe CATS should rule the world? You agree? Make bold statements, phrase titles in the form of a question, capitalize SOME words, be outrageous, be hilarious! Forget the Pulitzer...
Conversational writing is the key.
Keep your writing simple.
Use short sentences and paragraphs.
And remember to break up your writing with lots of white space.
People hate to read big, daunting blocks of text.
We need people to read what you have to write! Appeal to that special HIM or HER...
When people think about how to write a profile for online dating sites, they forget WHY they need a profile in the first place.
You use a profile to encourage your target HIM or HER to make contact.
Who do you want to date? A cute emo guy? A hot musician? A classy older woman? Write your profile with this person in mind! Ask yourself, what would appeal to them? What about myself would make them want to contact me? Leave them wanting more...
No one likes long-winded dating profiles.
Keep it short, pithy, concise! This is, after all, not your life story.
It is just a TOOL to get them to contact you.
And, remember, leave them wanting more!
