3 Mistakes To Avoid While Writing Your Online
Dating Profile
|
|
|
After
researching thousands of profiles of men and women searching for a
partner through online dating services, we cannot but wonder how one
can ever succeed in their dating efforts. The poorly written
introductions can kill any chance of ever fixing a first date.
Of
the 10,000 or
so online dating service profiles researched, no more than a dozen
captured our attention enough to make the first move. I’m
sure
that you wish to get lots of reactions to your online dating service
advertisement, otherwise why would you bother joining a site, and
paying a fee to meet new people?
If
that is the case, then make sure you avoid the following 3 mistakes at
all costs:
1.
"I May Be the one you’re Seeking..."
This
may be the
case. However, by employing this combination of words anywhere for your
online dating service profile, you aren’t telling me, or your
potential suitor, anything new. What this line does say to someone
checking you out is that the online dating service profiler
didn’t do a lot of thinking about how they wanted to present
themselves. Tell people what gets your eyes twinkling or even what
REALLY gets you up in the morning - and don’t say
it’s your
alarm clock, either. Now is the time to let your passions really shine
through.
2.
"I’m the one Your Mother Talked About"
This
is, from my
research in any case, virtually the most overused phrase in an opening
line for online dating service profiles. True, it’s the
generic
option of some of the larger sites (such as Lavalife or even True)
– if your profile is awaiting approval, this tag line will
show
up while waiting for the a-okay. To
avoid this, come up with something a bit more unique and original. But
what if you aren’t sure how to do this? Well, it’s
not hard
to take a look at your competition in the online dating service field,
so why not do a quick search and see what everyone else is doing?
Reading
other
people’s description of themselves could just get your
creative
juices flowing. At the very least, it’ll explain what
everyone
else is saying about themselves – and what key phrases and
words
you should avoid in turn...
3.
Glaring Spelling or Grammatical Mistakes
This
tip might
seem childish, or even trite – but its critically important.
While chatting with someone online, you may make a few spelling
mistakes that a potential suitor will find annoying. However until you
get to that stage with someone, noone should know that you’ve
got
dyslexia, or just can’t spell worth beans.
It
shows a lot
to a potential suitor while they peruse the online dating services that
someone has taken the time to spell check their document. Hell, get a
friend to proof read it for you if want just in case you’ve
missed something important.
However
if you
can't take the time to write something legible, virtually all people
perusing the online dating service websites will assume you
won’t
have time to bother doing other, even more important tasks. And when
you only have two or three of seconds to make that first impression
before someone clicks on another person – each and every
detail
counts.
