We know one of the hardest part
of creating your profile is describing yourself
to others. Dating pearl.com gives you the
freedom to define & express yourself so you can
put your best foot forward. Following are some
time tested nuggets that can assist you in
creating a compelling & attention grabbing
profile.
Honesty is the Best Policy
As the saying goes, honesty is
the best policy. Honesty is taken seriously at
Dating pearl.com and it's the single most
important thing to remember when writing a great
profile. It's much easier to write about
yourself if you are honest about who you are. It
prevents you from having to spin ways to best
sell yourself or guess at what you think other
people want to read.
A major part of being honest is
not misleading people down the road. People will
assume that what you write is true — and you
don't want to set people up for a surprise later
by stretching the truth in your profile. For
example, if you hate mountain climbing, don't
say you love it just to grab the eye of an
outdoorsy type.
Give Some Thought Of What Sets
You Apart.
How are you different? What
gives you your unique character? If your friends
were describing you, what would be the three
things they would all say about you? These are
good questions to ask yourself as you get ready
to write your profile.
Put Your Negativity Aside
Often times, people start their
ad off with, “I’m sick of … !”, “ I’m tired
of…!” or “ I hate Brunette…!” etc. It’s
advisable not to include this as the first thing
that you want to express in your profile ad. It
just gives the impression of too many unhealthy
relationships in the past. Instead, try to be
more positive & upbeat in your profile. Soon
enough you will notice a leap in the response
rate.
Stay Open & Be Conversational.
Leave formality at the door and
write your profile like you are talking to a
good friend. Of course, there are some things
you might tell a good friend that you probably
don't want to include in your profile. It's a
good idea to avoid mentioning past relationships
and exes, or discoursing on being lonely or
desperate. Be optimistic!
Show How, Don't Tell.
The best profiles show, don't
tell, who you are at your best. If you are known
for being funny, try explaining how or why you
are funny - such as, "I've been known to show up
to a party in a wig", instead of "I have a good
sense of humor." Paint a picture in their minds
of the kind of person you are.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand
Words
The importance of this point
can’t be emphasized more. Your smile, the
background that you're photographed in, what
you're wearing; they all paint a picture of what
you're truly like. And including a recent photo
will get you 800% the attention.
Updating Your Profile Often.
Keep your profile fresh. Every
now and then, go back to your profile and update
it to let people know you're still out there.
Go Through Your Spelling &
Grammar.
Check your profile for typos and
spelling mistakes before you submit it. Show
that you spent time thinking about them while
writing your profile. Always proofread your ad &
run it through a word processor, such as
Microsoft Word so that you can have your
spelling & grammar checked.
