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.
An online dating blog about hoodies, Geraldo and hope.
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I also write a blog that incorporates both. I once had a cat who would hide his face and assume that, because he couldn’t see you, you couldn’t see him. Given that my little guy’s intellect was designed for his needs, I didn’t expect the kind of critical thinking that I might expect from ohhhh…say…an attorney, author and award-winning journalist like… oh, I don’t know – Geraldo Rivera. Yet, this well-educated, globe-trotting reporter… read more →
Are men the new dumb blondes?
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I also write LinkedIn profiles. As such, I follow sites like thegrindstone.com, which offers solid advice to working women. The other day, it featured an interesting article discussing the wisdom of including a passion for your career on your dating profile. My advice was quoted, as was expert advice of others. Here are some of their insights: For men, attraction does not come from watching a woman succeed. Include the industry you work… read more →
Online dating with Rush, Rick and contraceptives.
I write ads. I write dating profiles based on ad techniques. I also write the only dating blog about men, women and marketing. My blogs are often inspired by stories that move me. For instance, it’s bad enough that Rush Limbaugh called a woman a slut, but I’m shocked that he’s allowed to call some poor woman “wife” on a daily basis. As such, I thought I’d do a blog about men, women and words that cross a line. However, before I… read more →
The dating blog about loss, love and Limbaugh.
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I write a blog about men, women, marketing and pretty much anything related as long as it amuses me. The big news this week is that advertisers are pulling out of Limbaugh’s radio show faster than a couple having unprotected sex. It seems that Rush offended a few people when he called Sandra Fluke a slut. Apparently, he went too far this time, though obviously not when he said: If Obama weren’t black… read more →
How Angie’s leg made it into in a dating blog.
I write ads. I write online dating profiles. I also write the only blog about men, women and marketing. The biggest news at this year’s Academy Awards was not that a black and white film won Best Picture for the first time in nearly 80 years. Nor was it that Octavia Spencer received a tear-inducing standing ovation, or that 82-year old Christopher Plummer was finally recognized. None of those made the news quite in the same way that Angelina’s leg… read more →
Online dating and a blog about blues, Obama and the Great Depression
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I also write the only dating blog about men, women and ads. Blues has been a theme of late. First, I’ve noticed people with a seasonal soupcon of February blues. Second, we’ve been serenaded by blues of presidential proportions thanks to Obama himself (can he be more dreamy, sigh). As such, this week’s dating blog is all about smiles turned upside down. Enjoy it, if you can. 10 Chick flicks that make men… read more →
Online dating blog. Pants on fire edition.
I write ads. I write dating profiles. I then bring their related topics together in this one surprisingly cohesive blog. To do so, I read a lot of articles and then share the news. I’m like Dan Rather but in that “not quite Dan Rather’s idea of news” kind of way. It’s delicate. Basically this is the only blog about single men, single women and advertising. A recent article in Huffington Post reported that Rick Santorum (pictured here in a… read more →
Feeling pressure on Valentine’s Day? You should be so lucky.
The only dating blog about men, women and avertising. As an ad writer turned online dating profile writer, I’m in a position to see Valentine’s Day from a broad perspective. As such I’ve learned that Valentine’s Day is, without a doubt, most loved by advertisers. Florists, chocolate makers, lingerie stores, restaurants, even strawberry growers (seriously, I saw organic ones on sale today at Whole Foods as part of their in-store Valentine’s Day promotions) – all wholeheartedly embrace this special day.… read more →
Booty calls, vampires and online dating.
The only dating blog about men, women and advertising. I’ve heard of leg men, breast men and men who love booty. I’ve heard of women who’ll swoon over 6-pack abs and rock solid buns. Now, though, I’ve think I’ve heard it all. Apparently, there’s a new way to evaluate a potential lover and it’s by looking at their cell. Some things go well together. Mystery books and rainy days. Politicians and sex scandals. Wine and 7 UP (don’t judge me!).… read more →
Dating advice from a copywriter, a screenwriter and other unlikely sources.
Welcome to the only dating blog about men, women and marketing. As an ad writer and marketing expert who’s transferred her significant talents (my blog, my spin) to writing online dating profiles, I’m always collecting interesting relationship advice and ads. I know, I know… “ads”, right? How do profile writing and advertising end up in one dating blog? Advertising is all about relationships. Its job is to create relationships between consumers and products. The ad techniques that go into great advertising… read more →
