Online Dating Profile: Step 3
What do you offer?
You need to be aware of your value and what you can bring to a relationship. If you are unaware of your qualities ask a friend of the opposite sex. Your online dating profile is basically your sales pitch, or job application. You have to sell yourself, and dangle the carrot so to speak, to draw people in. When you are writing your profile you will get matched with others not only based on your interests but also personality traits, so the more qualities you mention the more refined your matches will be. You need to portray your qualities in a way that appeals to members of the opposite sex, so if you understand what the opposite sex is generally seeking you can check the congruency of what you offer.
