Let's talk about your profile for the online dating websites that you're on. This is like
your first impression, so you actually have to put a little more effort into it than clicking
all the boxes and throwing up a picture.
The first thing, and I can't stress this enough, is you need a current, realistic picture.
Which means you need to get one of your friends to take a look at the picture you're putting
up there and let you know if it accurately depicts you. Because the biggest complaint
is going to be, "Oh my gosh I met this guy, I fell in love with his profile and then I
saw him and it was, that's not what you look like." So get the right picture.
The second thing is don't fill your profile of negatives, you know, like I don't want
this, I don't want that. You know, try to keep everything positive. People respond to
positive people, which means that even if you're not all the time positive put it out
in your profile as if you are. Say what you enjoy. Talk about things that you like to
do. You know, have some sort of love for life or something that comes across in it. And
again, you know what, if you don't trust yourself to write this, have somebody else do it for
you or have your friend look at it. Because, it's again, this is your first impression.
And people are going to judge you, whether you want it or not. They're going to judge
you based on your picture, on what you write, and what you put in those drop downs. So think
about it before you do it, stay as positive as possible, and make sure that that picture
works.
If you don't trust yourself to write your own profile get somebody to help you. Maybe
it's a friend. It's actually a service that I do. All about taking what you really want
and spinning it in a positive way. You know. There's a different way to say everything.
So, you know, what we do is work with people to try to make them come across as the most
positive person possible. So like I said, if you can't do it somebody else can. Just
make sure it gets done.
