Chapter 8:
How to write an attractive profile
Synopsis
Being part of an online dating data base can be a very competitive platform to be part of. Therefore, the individual would need to be able to present a very comprehensive and attention-grabbing profile that would ensure the interest of other parties enrolled.
The following are some tips on how to prepare the ideal attention- grabbing profile and will ensure huge amounts of interest:
Your Profile
Choosing a suitable user name would be the first step that is required of the new member. However, some care should be taken when choosing this user name as silly and overly descriptive names are usually not encouraged or well received. Such choices would not help to convey the member’s seriousness or commitment levels, in the venture at all.
Personal information should not be easily divulged, as there should be some level of privacy to ensure the member is adequately protected from unnecessary solicitation outside the safety of the online site. Giving out too much personal information, will only create a level of vulnerability that could endanger the member.
Including photos that are complimenting yet honest is another feature that is important to be included in a profile. Sad as it may seem, people are interested in knowing of the physical appearance of those they intend to communicate with before they decide to take the connection to the next level. Therefore, if the member decides not to include any photos, the chances of getting any interested a “hit” would definitely be few and far between.
“Promoting” one’s self online is also another feature that the member should be savvy in doing. This self-promotion is what is going to get the individual noticed over the many others available at the site. This will also help to ensure the member stays competitive and relevant.
