Most singles dating online write relatively unremarkable dating profiles (reason enough to hire me, a marketing expert and writer, to craft them). Still, a handful write some truly remarkable ones. This week, while scanning the big online dating sites, I found a number of such profiles and, in this third installment of my weekly series, will share excerpts from five of them:

Ms Christian Gurl says:
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERFECT MAN AND THATS JESUS BUT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS MY PERFECT MAN NOT PERFECT BUT PERFECT FOR ME. JUST LOOKING FOR THE GUY THAT THE LORD SENDS ME WHOEVER THAT MAY BE…..BUT DID I MENTION I HAVE ALWAYS DATED YOUNGER GUYS?
Ms B in it 2 win it offers the following sermon, I mean, profile:
LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE,,, BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY. Dance like no one is watching. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Look inside a person, outside beauty is not most important. Let’s look INSIDE and get what we really NEED. TRUST AND COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO A GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND LAUGHTER HEALS THE SOUL.,,,I ALWAYS SEE A GLASS AS HALF FULL,,,NOT HALF EMPTY,,,,
Sent by a friend, snippets from a profile that was over 6 paragraphs long:
I am looking for guys. By “guys”, I mean, if you scream like a girl and run when you see a spider, I’m not interested. If you can’t pick me up and carry me if I’m tired/drunk, I’m not interested. I am a girl. At least in the pussy, boobs and soft hair context. I have no problems dolling up, strolling to the nearest club and picking up a one night stand with a six-pack.
Shy Guy says this about himself:
Who knew by my forty’s I would have visited Europe, Hong Kong, Mexico and the Caribbean. Who knew I would have raced Moto GP, jumped out of an airplane, and flew in a helicopter through the Grand Canyon, and that I’d have built houses! That perfect someone to share it with would meet these requirements: I need someone drama free. I also have a modern home so if your into antiques or country living. We may not be the best fit. I love golf and you must too.
Mr Hopeful talks politics, but on a dating profile?
if you like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Sarah Palin.. if you watch FOX News, (fair and balanced, my ass), or if you believe in the Tea (BAGGERS) Party – (blind, stupid right-winged-lunatic-fringe idiots) and D I C K Cheney – then we won’t get along. That being said, I’m a gentle guy, divorced for 19 years, married once, and it stung so bad, I only came close twice to doing it again.
Just to reiterate – most people don’t write profiles that stand out for all the wrong reasons. Most write profiles that, unfortunately, don’t stand out enough. As a marketing expert and professional profile writer, I help people get noticed – and for good reason.
Check out the online dating samples of my work. Better still, go straight to the personality quiz. It costs nothing to do, but will help you uncover some of your unique traits, which is the first step in writing an online dating profile that’s remarkable (in a good way!).
