Use your profile description wisely

We keep searching for bad examples of profile descriptions on the online dating sites. We do all this for you to have a proper example of what to avoid when creating your online dating profile. Here you have a bad example of a profile description, found in many online dating profiles.

”I am searching for my soulmate, my best friend, my lover and my everything. I would like someone who loves to stay in and also to go out. I love my family and my friends because they are everything to me. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with the people I love. I need someone who can’t live without me and I can’t live without them - someone I could give my life to.

I enjoy going out, but at times I would like to just sit in bed and cuddle with that precious someone. I am searching for a person who understands me and loves me the way I am. Of course, I would like to share similar interests with that special someone with whom I can have fun and live life beautifully. Also, there has to be chemistry in order to develop a connection with my partner. I love to laugh.”

You get the message, don’t you?

What is wrong with this online dating profile description is that it’s not specific. If you choose to write in your profile description something like this, a visitor of your profile will just receive the message that you want to love and be loved by someone. Well, duh, that’s why you made an online dating profile. In order to have a good profile description you need to talk about yourself and about who you are. Show off your personality and your interests. Speak more about yourself and less about what you want from the other person, because everyone needs a person who loves them the way they are. Be specific and avoid saying common and repetitive ideas.

You might think that since so many people post similar profile descriptions like the one above, then everybody should match anybody, because in the end, we all want the same things. Sadly, it doesn’t work like that and you know it. It’s perfect that you know what you want, but in order to get a person to want you, you have to show yourself even in the profile description because people read it.

Remember that you only have one shot to grab that potentially special person’s attention when she visits your online dating profile. Make it count. Make her remember you for who you are and not for who you want.
