How to write an online dating profile, tip 20.
There is no more time for mistakes in my life. We’ve all made them and I hope you, like I, have become more wise and selective. That includes an honest profile with current photos. If your main photo isn’t current and was put there to make you look younger, you’re not there yet.
My signifcant other will be a HAPPY person who is intelligent, caring and giving. She will be an honest and trustworthy friend who knows that once that bond is broken the relationship is over. She will take pride in her appearance and PROPORTIONAL WEIGHT.
There’s an urgency about this man’s intro that makes me feel he’d rush into a situation and then, if it’s not perfect fast enough, he’d rush out just as quickly. With his talk of current photos, and his capitalization of happy and proportional, he sounds bitter and adamant. That he wants a happy, fit person with current photos is more than reasonable. However, there’s a whole sense of impatience and negativity to his approach. I also suspect he has unresolved issues of betrayal. Lots of red flags all-round.
How to write an online dating profile, tip 21.
I enjoy life. My friends would describe me as a nice and fun person who enjoys life and all it has to offer. I am kind, compassionate and loyal. I think it is important to treat people with dignity and respect. I believe that open-mindedness and communication are the keys to a healthy relationship. I’m looking for someone who is funny and can have a great time.
I enjoy going to dinner and the movies, dancing, walks on the beach and camping in the mountains.
There are no red flags to this profile. However, there’s nothing at all interesting about it. Being nice, kind and compassionate is nothing special. Those qualities merely add up to basic decency, which we should expect of ourselves and others anyway. In addition, though her interests are all really enjoyable, they’re nonetheless fairly mundane. Hence, she should feature them anecdotally, or using some kind of approach that makes the read more dynamic.
For more profile help, start by uncovering some of your unique traits using the personality quiz. It costs nothing to do, but it’s an important first step in writing an online dating profile that stands out.
Once you’ve completed the quiz, select some of the most interesting answers and incorporate into your dating profile. Better still, hire me to do it. I’m trained to know what to pick and where to put it.
