America's Leading Dating Expert Reveals These Online Dating Tips!
-
What You Need to Know When Writing Your Profile!
- One - Thou shalt not say “I love to laugh”, “I can’t believe I’m doing this”,
or “I’m equally comfortable in a T-Shirt and jeans as a little black dress”. (Cliché police. You’re under arrest.)
- Two - Thou shalt not badmouth fellow online daters, exes, or the dating site
itself. (Does anyone actually respond to
negativity?)
- Three - Thou shalt not lie about one’s height, weight, age, income or propensity
for humor. (Yes, you’re tall, thin,
young and funny. Of course, so is everyone on here.)
- Four - Thou shalt not write a list of adjectives that can be written by anybody.
(You’re nice, honest, athletic and
down-to-earth? Wow, me, too!)
- Five - Thou shalt not write a list of activities that can be written by anybody.
(Pretty much everyone likes movies,
music and travel, don’t they?)
- Six - Thou shalt not mention either your physical characteristics or those of
the person you wish to meet. (It’s
getting a little crowded in the shallow end of the pool.)
- Seven - Thou shalt not spell “a lot” as one word, “definitely” with an “a”, or
“you’re” without an apostrophe. (Sure,
some people can’t spell. And some people should have been left back, too.)
- Eight - Thou shalt not try to hide your email address in your profile essays. (It’s the same as Thou shalt not steal,
actually.)
- Nine - Thou shalt not show off by listing your Ivy League school, impressive
salary, or subjective evaluations of your own beauty or intelligence. (Sorry, I can’t hear you over your
screaming ego…)
- Ten - Thou shalt not write less than fifty words to explain why you’re more
than just a face on a website. (The only
people who think that profiles don’t matter are the ones who put no effort into
them.)

I totally agree with you!! Writing a good dating profile is worth the time and effort it takes to get it right! Do you know what caught my attention when I received a message from a guy (who is now my husband and has been for just over 4 years now) - the title of his profile! It was 'Do Penguins Have Knees?' - it showed me that here was a guy with a sense of humour and who didn't take himself too seriously! Another thing that truly endeared him to me, was that he was himself with me. He showed me his true self when we 'chatted' and emailed - warts and all - and this enabled me to trust him and open up to him so much easier than I would've if he'd been all macho and full of himself. We became best friends online before we fell in love (before even meeting each other) and when he finally made it to Australia, after 18 mths of long distance, we were married within 2 1/2 mths of first setting eyes on one another. All because we were honest with each other from the outset and didn't try to be something we weren't. Reply...
