Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Be creative
- Writing partner
- Other profiles to read
- A sense of humor
Step1
Writing a personal profile is not as difficult as it seems if you know what you are doing. First, get a pen and paper. Write down things about yourself. Think about who you are and what you truly enjoy, such as hobbies, work, reading, sports, music, etc. Invite a friend to read your profile. Have them share their thoughts about what they like about you and incorporate it into your profile. Once you have compiled a list of all these things, then you are going to need to put it in writing and make it sound interesting and fun to read. You want others to notice you and because this is "Internet Dating," the only thing you have to attract that special someone to you is your "written word!" Challenging, but not impossible.
Step2
Be creative. Before you begin writing, check out other written profiles on the Internet and see what appeals to you and what turns you off when you read them. Writing a profile that will attract the attention of another person has to be much like writing a mystery. There is a story, suspense, drama, action, plot and ending. The story keeps people on the edge of their seats and in your case should keep interested readers wanting to learn more about you. So, whether you are a person of mystery or your life is a slap stick comedy, you need to make sure you relay it in your writing, because your writing style gives others a sense of who you are.
Step3
Be detailed when writing about yourself. If you like to read. Don't just write, "I like to read." BORING! The reader will want to skip ahead and move on to the next chapter, by reading another profile other than yours! Be descriptive and creative. Example: "I enjoy reading the works of Tolstoy and on occasion find time to read books on Culinary Cooking, but with that someone special to occupy more of my time, the time I would enjoy most would be when I read the stars with you underneath an evening sky!"
Be truthful when you write. "To thyne own self be true!" Don't write what you think others want to hear. OK, so I "fudged a little with the underneath the stars thing," but DO WRITE what you feel and what you believe. This does not mean you have to write a thesis about who you think would make a better defensive end for the San Diego Chargers or that you just went through a messy divorce where she took you to the cleaners and now wants more money for support for those 5 little urchins whom you swear you never fathered, (however one does look vaguely like you) but, do keep it simple so that others are more apt to be attracted to someone whom they think is sincere and speaks from the heart. As Sargent Friday would say, "The facts ma'am, just the facts."
Be witty and fun. Life does not always have to have such a serious side. Showing your emotions when you write gives others insight to what makes you "special" as well. People who read your dating profile enjoy the fact that you too are human just like them. Being able to share a laugh or two with someone can be contagious, so don't be afraid to share with others what makes you laugh. A sense of humor is good for the soul. However, it was not meant for you to write about your Cousin Gertie's hemorrhoid surgery, your pick up truck and how you awed the judges at the local Coon King County Fair with your cooking talent made up of Road Kill Raccoon Kabobs and Possum Pot Pie. Some things are just better left unsaid!
