My previous post touched on the dating profile. I have spoken about your profile before, and I am adding that post here. Do not consider me an expert. I have only written one book.
The number of dating sites out there are growing. I think as we breathe another one is created, all willing to take your money. You can do a scan and look for a free site, but often they are not always free. You are free to add your profile, but can you send a message to someone? Can you receive a message? I regularly use jdate. Oops, I just got a message from someone on the site. I will get back to her after I finish this blog. I hope it is a her and not a him. I do not find it that flattering when a “him” approaches me, not even if he “says” he is pushing his sister. Yeah right.
Whatever you decide, whether you take match.com, eharmony.com, or any of the others, you still have to start with an online profile. Oops. What do you do? Writing a good online dating profile is not an easy task. You are faced with a box and you have to write about yourself. There must be an art to it! The woman has to read whatever you say and then see whether it is worth looking on. I suspect some people think that they put a few words together and they will get approached. Far from it.
Do I know what I am doing? No! But I have one important tip, do not make up nonsense, what I refer to as bovinic excrement:
Many people play around with their profiles, very often someone else writes it for them. This is a scene from a “comedy” named “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” when Charlie’s friends want to help him setup his profile on match.com:

Be honest, friends! Before you embark on the dating world, you need to feel good about yourself. Check out this post by a colleague of mine, Kelly. Do not tell her that I linked to her post, she may be flattered by it. She was a guest blogger of mine once.
