Oh did I ever find an online dating profile mistake worth addressing! This excerpt features one of the biggest online dating profile writing mistakes ever. I see it often and it’s wrong for so many reasons. Here goes:
From the online dating profile of a 32-year old woman.
I’m a pretty cool person. I am a good friend. If you know me then you know who I am and what I’m all about. I can be loud and funny, but also quiet at times. I am a girly tom-boy. I love jeans & t-shirts, but dresses and lipstick too !Shoes when I can find them in my size!
My critique.
I can be loud. I can be quiet. I can be girly. I can be a tomboy. I love jeans. I love dresses. Oh for Godsakes make up your mind. At some point, you really need to be something other than ambiguous! Most people are multi-faceted. This is a given. However, on a dating profile, you need to highlight some of your specifics so that you attract someone who is looking specifically for someone like you.
Of course, you can be quiet at times but, most of the time, what are you?That’s not to suggest that you need to sound rigid, but do sound like you’re solid.
Two other points about this dating profile – to write “if you know me then you know what I’m all about” – is a waste of space. You’re talking to strangers. They don’t know you. That’s why they’re there – to meet you. Besides, it’s redundant to say that once a person knows you then know what you’re about.
Finally, what’s the deal about the shoes? Where in the world did that come in? If you have unusual feet then say so. Our quirks are what make us charming, but don’t end on some odd note that comes out of nowhere and leaves the person confused. Always end on a note that make the person like you enough to want to contact you.
