How to shine online: qualities of a good online dating profile - Part IV
Today’s topic is: Injecting your personality into your profile
Online dating is tough enough without pretending to be somebody you aren’t. Here are some ways you can write your profile so that people get the idea that it’s a unique person on the other side:
- Write the way you speak: perhaps you have a tendency to be serious, witty, self deprecating (hopefully not too much!). Share that aspect of who you are by the way you write your profile.
- If you have a sense of humour or style of wit, don’t be afraid to share it! Sure, you may turn some people off but the people who find it appealing will likely be the sort of person you’re looking for.
- Share a short anecdote about an experience you had that put you out of your element. Looking back, these stories are often funny and provide additional insight into the type of person you are. Perhaps you, super casual by nature, went to your first formal event and had not yet mastered heels. What happened next?
Basically, in order to stand out from all the other people putting their profiles online, you need to do all you can to come across as a real person, and by no means typical. After all, you’re looking for someone special for you, not someone who could be with anyone! And this is why you should avoid clichéd phrases. I’ll share some phrases that are overdone in the online dating world tomorrow.
