Online Dating and LinkedIn Profile Writing Advice

I regularly critique excerpts from random dating and LinkedIn profiles (for anonymity). By pointing out dos and don'ts from actual profiles, you too can look at your own with a critical eye and improve on your personal branding.


Woody Allen, dads and ads.

I write ads. I write online dating profiles and LinkedIn profiles using marketing techniques. I also write this odd little blog about men, women and advertising. Today’s the day when “World’s Greatest Dad” T-shirts actually make a sale or two. On that note, who could be greater dad than Woody Allen. After all, he loves his children so much, he married one. Thankfully, countless other fathers  make positive contributions. This week’s blog begins with one of the loveliest. Dads and… read more

Dear Boomers: Would you rather bake or sizzle?

I’m an ad writer. I’m also the only online dating profile writer to combine ad techniques and conversational writing so that singles stand out.  This is my dating blog. It’s the only one you’ll find about men, women and marketing.   A friend of mine is an actress. She’s older and, by that, I mean she’s in her late 50’s – far from elderly. Still, whenever she’s cast as a grandmother, the scene inevitably shows her baking cookies or giggling… read more

Donald, dating, deception and hair.

I’m an ad writer. I’m also an online dating profile writer who uses subtle ad techniques (not hard sell) to help singles stand out.  This is my odd little dating blog. I’ve seen enough episodes of CSI to know that when a rug is out of place, it’s hiding something – except with respect to Donald Trump. If anyone looked beneath that comb-over, they would find nothing –  and certainly nothing worth further investigation. Yet this mentally bereft man is… read more

Online dating and happy endings (so to speak).

Welcome to the most unique online dating blog on the web. I’m an ad writer trained to write positive, persuasive copy. I use my marketing savvy to craft online dating profiles that get noticed among the millions of others competing online. True to both my crafts, I also write the only online dating blog about men, women – and marketing! When I was younger I was given the funniest, feistiest cat ever. I named him Spunk. At the time, the… read more

Online dating. The “Why Can’t We All Get Along” Edition.

I’m an award-winning ad writer. I’m an online dating profile writer (trained to get you noticed). I also write the only dating blog  about men, women and ads. In recent news, North Carolina outlawed same sex marriage. Obama supported it. Limbaugh chimed in too, of course – probably while sucking on a cigar, the biggest phallic symbol ever. Personally, I find it ironic that a civil rights violation can be upheld by law, while an act of love is outlawed… read more

The online dating blog about mothers and other mothers.

Anyone new to this dating blog, here’s the scoop: I’m an ad writer. I also write online dating profiles using  ad techniques so that singles can compete online. I also write this odd little dating blog that combines news about men, women and (of course) advertising. Enjoy! It’s Mother’s Day. Congratulations to all the women – and Thomas Beatie – who are celebrating motherhood at this time.  Also, a special mention to the biggest mother of them all: Rush Limbaugh.… read more

Breaking up with the Kardashians.

As a seasoned marketing expert, I take ad and profile writing seriously. However, I write blogs about men, women and marketing purely for fun. Single or not, feel free to enjoy them! I read the other day that the Kardashians have signed on for another 3 years with the E! Network. This news had a grievous impact on me. However, I decided to turn that into positive inspiration for this blog. Thank you to my Kardashian family of muses. When to… read more

Cry me a Rivera and other dating woes.

As a copywriter and online dating profile writer, I write a dating blog that helps single men and women attract their soulmate. Actually, that’s not true. “Dating, single men, single women and soulmate” are key words that help me with Google rankings, which matters when marketing an online dating profile writing service like mine (see, there I go with key words again). In fact, this blog is for men and women, married or not. After all, everyone can use good… read more

Online dating. The sizzle and fizzle.

Kevin Kokoska, a friend of “trysweettalk” offered to do a guest post for this week’s dating blog. I love what he’s written. It’s a refreshingly insightful and honest male perspective about maturity, self-reflection, accountability and class.  Women and men can learn from it. Thanks  Kevin for contributing your work, as well as your wonderful point of view. A first date, a hug, a second date, an awkwardness, a week of mutually uninspired text messages, silence. This is where it usually ends,… read more

A dating blog about bunnies, eggs and Gloria Steinem.

As a copywriter, the months leading up to Easter are spent creating ads that target children. As such, with the exception of much-loved breaks I get from crafting dating profiles, I’ve been immersed in bunnies and eggs – not to mention more pastel than anyone outside of a nursery should have to see. So, to achieve a comfortable balance, I’ve written a dating blog with my own unique take on the Easter.  As with all my dating blogs, you don’t… read more
