Preparing Successful Profile: Tips for Men

By Desmond Ray
Jun 28, 2009
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.

Details are important However, it is a bit different case with your personal profile. Indeed, your task is to intrigue her, so if she would like to know how badly are you addicted to caffeine or what you can see from the windows of your office, you will have a chance to tell her later. Your personal description must be brief and to the point: list only the main features of your character and what you are looking for in another person.

Address her right. Address her directly as you, your, i.e. by all means avoid writing in third person. If you write (for example): "I am looking for a single woman, with sense of humor, who appreciates order in her life, but for the same time can find a joy in being caught under summer rain," then she, even if this description fits her perfectly, most likely will pass it by, because, she will feel that this message is addressed to somebody else. Better to write something: "You are kind, cheerful, and passionate. You like to have an order in your life, but sometimes you can get yourself completely and carelessly wet under a warm summer rain." Although both examples are very close in content, it is much likely that she will recognize herself in your words of the last example, and so you will get much better attention from her and, therefore, more chances for success.

Make her laugh. Yes, this will be a great plus if you will add some element of a joke, a trick, a funny surprise in your profile. Remember, this profile is not going to be reviewed as your promotion dossier, while rewards can go quite beyond any promotion.

Mystery. Never forget that you are writing to a woman. Some element of mystery and intrigue will stir certain emotional mechanisms of her soul. Leave a part of your story untold, give her an opportunity to fill the blanks with her own imagination and feelings. Perhaps she will ask you some questions, and most certainly she will find you interesting. Remember: the purpose of your profile is to start a dialogue!

Warning about your exclusion list. Offering your friendship to anybody is almost as much mindless, as being too picky with your requirements. Sure, there are not that many men who are looking specifically for ugly, stupid or mean women, however, you have to set your turn-offs wisely. Keep in mind that 80% of women (including gorgeous ones) some way, or another are displeased with themselves. Feeling stupid or ugly does not mean to be the one, but the best part of mankind sometimes mistakes their feelings for reality. You better leave such judgment to yourself. Besides, if someone will stipulate that he is looking for a supermodel with Ph.D. in physics, ladies may view this as an indication of some inferiority complex, and skip to the next profile.

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.

No to physical boast. By all means avoid any male self-advertisement (unless your aim is a 1-2 night relationship). There is no need to tell the world how is your stamina in the bedroom: you dont need any silly statements in your profile.

Truth and truth only! You dont want to lie, because lie will be revealed sooner or later. It is just not smart to risk a potentially great relationship with some lie. Be honest in your profile and with your photos, and you will be rewarded.

Brevity is a virtue. Yes, I know, it is time to wrap up these tips. Just a final word: try not to achieve brevity with abbreviations and omissions, those can be misunderstood. Your profile is not a classified ad, so you will be given enough space for presenting yourself there. Otherwise, woman may think that you will pay her the same untidy attention, as you did with your personal profile. Make it neat, and you will be noticed. Good luck.
