10 Winning Profile Tips

By Liz H. Kelly

10 winning profile tips:

• Write a unique and friendly introductory line: "Looking for hiking partner" or "Seeking a Shipmate for Sailing and More"
• Post at least two current photos: Photos significantly increase responses! Try at least one close-up and one full-body shot for the best results.
• Use a positive tone: I love to learn and meet new people. Life is an adventure and I would like to share it with someone special.
• Keep it simple: Keep your descriptions light and avoid demanding checklists in your essays. Try listing only three things you desire in a mate.
• Write short essays versus a book: four or five sentences is a good goal. Save the details for your dates.
• Add a little humor: I can laugh at my mistakes. Are you a Letterman or Leno fan?
• Include a fun hobby note: I need someone to distract me from the piano. I love to travel and tend to take too many photographs.
• Add your marketing pitch: What makes you unique? Try listing only three things and make them catchy (everyone is smart, outgoing, and fun - how are you different?)
• Show interest in the other party: Enough about me…tell me more about you.
• Be confident versus boastful: When you show confidence in being you, it is the biggest turn-on. The trick is not to be boastful in your delivery.
