Recently a friend posted her profile on CyberDating and she asked me for my expert opinion on it. Well frankly, it needed some work.
She made two really basic mistakes.
The first mistake is that she started out with a downer. While she thought that she was being upbeat writing about how she's back for another kick-at-the-cat with Online dating, but it sounded so ho-hum that it hurt. My advice is to forget about telling the other singles that you've ever tried Online dating before. Start out being funny. Your audience is full of lonely, bored singles - you don't want to be one of them. Show them your nutty side and break the ice quickly.
After a few days of CyberDating, her feedback to me was that the wrong kind of guys were contacting her and she was frustrated. That brings me to her second mistake. She didn't say what she was looking for in a prospective mate. Even though she is athletic, she really desires an intellectual guy. So, for goodness sake, say what you want. You shouldn't be too exacting because you'll sound like you are too picky, but listing a few of your deal breakers will really help both you and your prospective date to avoid some unnecessary keystrokes.
Good luck,
Tucker
