Ten Tips on Making Successful Profile for Men
Attract her attention. Yes, there must be something that should make your profile outstanding, comparing to “male, Aquarius, looking for an attractive..” boring stereotypes. It is your, great and unique personality presented here, so you better make it special.
Skip the details for later! Your personal description must be concise. So try not to waste the allocated for profile space on little details, give only key features of your personality, your interests and desires. If she will find you interesting (and this is one of the main purposes of your profile: to intrigue her), she will ask you about color of your eyes, size of your shoes and everything else that she might feel interesting to know about you. So save the details for her future inquiries.
Only You! When it comes to description of your match, writing in a third person is a bad idea. I will give you an example. “I am looking for someone special, who appreciates order in her life, but when some disorder happens, she takes it easy with a good sense of humor. If she is caught under warm summer rain, she just laughs and enjoys the opportunity to get a little wet.” Or, lets say instead “You are special and I am looking for you! You appreciate order in your life, but when you are caught in a warm summer rain you just laugh and enjoy an opportunity to get little wet. If I have got this right about you, please, let me know, I want to hear from you!” You are writing about a person you have never met, and still she will feel that this is about her. In a first example, even if this is about her and she will read it, she still may not feel that way, because it is written in a third person, about some other girl. As a result you may never hear from her. Considering that you have worked hard on your profile and manage to express an essence of your perfect match, you dont want this to happen.
Dont be too serious. Your profile, of course, should not be an entire joke. However, making it as a formal memo is a bad idea either. This is not your curriculum vita or statement of purpose! So give her a wink with your words, trick her (just a little), but be balanced. Try to be serious and funny at the same time. Good sense of humor is always a plus.
Give her some mystery. With every word you wrote just remember: you are writing to a woman. If she will not find any mystery in you, it is bad, because she will look for someone else who will give her that chance. Men without mystery are boring, so you dont want to be among them, you are working on outstanding profile, you want to be above your competition! Make your story half-told, leave blanks, let her to fill gaps with her own imagination, and then she will wink or write to you. The purpose of your profile is to attract attention, you will get it!
Careful with your exclusion list. The list of those who shall not attempt to contact you must be made with a certain caution. Offering your friendship to all females from 20 to 35 might be too silly, but it will not be much smarter to limit your list to blonde supermodels with Ph.D. in astrophysics. First, if requirements are too high, one can miss his perfect match just because she may think that the author of such profile suffers from some inferiority complex. Second, while nobody is looking for dating ugly ladies. Ladies, in their turn, even most beautiful ones, quite often tend to be displeased with themselves. So by posting too demanding profile one is risking to repel (and he will) someone who might be just his perfect match. You certainly dont want such thing to happen.
Your grammar. Yes, grammar is important. Correctly written text is usually taken as granted, text with grammar flaws will be noticed. You can write that you are lost and lonely in your Beverly Hills house, and you need someone to help you to fill at least half of its 8 bedrooms with kids and pets. If you will make a couple mistakes in your profile, your maturity and sincerity will be doubted, even if in reality you are mature and sincere person.
Restrain from any physical boast. It is always better to keep your male stamina restrained in your profile. Unless you are looking into a short, 1-2 night relationship, it is not a good idea to emphasize that you are “passionate lover, who can make it 10 times in a row”. Do not make yourself looking silly.
Truth, truth and nothing but the truth. Lie will be revealed sooner or later. Why should you tarnish possibly great relationship with a lie? Be honest with your profile and with the choice of your photos.
Brevity is a virtue. That reminds me to finish this article. Just a final word: be brief but avoid omissions and abbreviations. Your profile is not a classified ad (although there is some similarity), you will be given enough space to express yourself. If you will make it in untidy manner, woman may think that so will be your attention to her, and so she will pass you. So make it tidy and to the point. Good luck.
