Some things…actually – many things – mystify me. For instance, what’s underneath Justin Beiber’s fringe and why hasn’t anyone told him not to do the sideways gangsta peace sign while wearing a preppy purple cardigan. Also, what casting agent was delusional enough to pair up gorgeous Julie Benz with Michael Chiklis as his wife on No Ordinary Family? While I’m at it – Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin go camping??? Huh?
Another mystery to me is profiles that say, “Want to know, ask”. Ask what? Ask why you didn’t fill out your profile? Go
Why would I ask anything of someone who says absolutely nothing about themselves? I’d have no idea what to ask. Should I ask about your naïve assumption that just posting a picture will bring forth a deluge of questions from intrigued suitors? Should I ask about the social retardation from which you appear to suffer? Or, should I ask something arbitrary like – when on a date, do you ever do any of the talking or do you leave it up to your date to do all the work?
Bieber with a gangsta peace sign and a cardigan. It sooo works!
Some singles dating online are under the misguided impression that looks are the only thing that matter. As such, they don’t bother completing their profile, let alone making it engaging. Fact is, looks matter. However, unless you’re by far the best person online, looks only get you so far. Chances are, no matter what you look like, there are others who are comparable. Hence, your only tool besides looks is an outstanding profile. Don’t ruin your chances by making a bad first impression.
Make your profile interesting so that
you too seem interesting.
