When it comes to describing yourself in your Profile,
keep the following tips in mind:
Be as clear as possible.
Be direct as possible. The shorter the better..
Take a moment to think about what you want to say. How many times do you get a chance to tell someone your best points? Before you begin writing your profile, browse through the Profiles. Pick out the questions that are important to you. Look for any answers that stand out and catch your eye. If something catches your eye, it will probably catch the eye of someone that has something in common with you!
Make good use of the "Your Photo." You never get a second chance to make a first impression. .
Be honest about who you are, in text and photo. You are much more likely to meet someone you will be happy with in the long run if you are completely honest from the beginning.
Use a current picture...don't use a picture from 1989, just because you had a little more hair then.
Reveal something fun, personal, or unique about yourself. Let who you are shine through.
Use specific descriptive phrases or words, especially concerning personality. Rather than saying, "I am looking for someone with a good sense of humor," tell them what makes you laugh.
When describing yourself, be yourself. Don't try to sound the way you would like to sound. Let them know the real you!
Details are important. Details are not boring. You might think that saying "I enjoy movies" is better than listing which movies you really enjoy. On the contrary, a LOT of people enjoy movies but only some of those people enjoy the same movies that you do. Furthermore, the types of movies you like reveal your personality and lifestyle.
Don't be afraid to speak your mind. Don't be shy about expressing some of your more "drastic" views. They may not please everyone, but it will save you the time of dealing with people who have fundamental differences with you.
Describe yourself first, then describe what you are looking for in a mate. People are interested in reading about your qualities and interests. If you match what they are looking for, they will keep reading. However, don't be too picky. Love is a mysterious thing.
Are you looking for real love? Companionship? Someone to date while you finish school? Be honest about what you're after--better now than later.
Don't reveal too much. (Things like your complete name, phone number, and address are better left for a time when you really know the person who you are talking with.)
Smile, with your words and your picture. Your happiness is attractive!
Keep your Personal updated. Gone from blonde to brunette? Time for a new picture! Also, if your interests change, let the world know, so you can find what you're looking for.
