What are you looking for?
Another big mistake people make is that they are not clear about what they are looking for. So they then complain and say dating websites don’t work. The clearer you are about what you are seeking the less interest you will get but the interest will be refined….
Isn’t it better to get fewer people contacting you, but those that do are potential dates, rather than casting the net wide and having to sift through unsuitable dates?
I worked on a guys dating profile and he came up with a great line that we used; ‘Looks to me are not important, what is important is that a woman has a good sense of humour and is ambitious’.
He then complained that he was only attracting over weight women, which meant this sentence was not truthful. It could still be used, but it needed to be followed by something like – ‘Keeping fit and the gym is a big part of my life. I’m looking for someone sporty and physically fit’
This is a subtle and kind way of saying that you want to date someone trim/fit.
N.B. There are many people that prefer larger people so whatever your size, be proud of who you are and don’t try and trick people into thinking you are something that you are not – you will waste yours and other peoples time.
Rightly or wrongly we all read between the lines in profiles, so do take time to have a think and get this part right…
Here are some translations:
‘I don’t really know what to write here all I pretty much do is eat, sleep and work’
Translates as: I’m a complete bore and have no life
‘in my spare time I go to the gym 7 days a week and I’m studying for my xxx, which take a lot of my time’
Translates as: I don’t have time to date
‘I don’t want any bunny boilers’
Translates as: I attract bunny boilers and I’ve been out with a few so I’m not a good judge of character
‘I’m looking for a wife’
Translates as: I’m desperate
‘Looking to have some fun’
Translates as: I have a girlfriend and I’m bored so I don’t really want to date. I just want to send inane messages back and forth, hopefully they’ll get a bit sexual so I can get off on them, and if you’re lucky I might be up for meeting for a shag.
