HOW TO WRITE ANONLINE DATINGPROFILE
A Headline Guaranteedto Lure Him In
SELL THE BENEFITSNOT THE FEATURES
Instead of presenting alaundry list of who youare and what youwant, create a storyabout what yourpartner’s life would belike with YOU in it.
THE HEADLINE
Most dating sites giveyou a place to write aheart stoppingheadline.
This is your firstimpression — thecover of the book, theopening sentence, thehook.
Here are a fewexamples from currentprofiles on a popularsite:
Looking for someone specialLooking for that unspokenconnection, my best friend first andforemostGenuine caring fun happyCalm and resilientNot really looking for love right now,
but some entertainment would begreatI am looking for my best mate, isthat you?
Now be honest, do anyof those headlinesintrigue you, or makeyou want to knowmore about theperson?
Not really.
Start your dating profilewith a QUOTE instead ofa position description.
A quote works on morethan one level.
It has content (what thequote actually says), it hastone (beautiful, funny,sarcastic, solemn), it revealssomething important aboutyou in relation to the author(a Homer Simpson quotesays something different toan Anais Nin quote), and itattracts someone who has asimilar cultural or literarytaste (again Homer Simpsonvs Anais Nin).
Chose a quote about lovebecause after all that’swhat you’re here for. If youdon’t have any ideas, lookat a Pinterest board likethe one found by clickinghere.
Even though I’ve just goneon about the source ofquote, don’t worry toomuch if it doesn’t have anauthor — it will still do thework for you.
Here are some ideas:
The earth has music for those who listenChemistry is you touching my mind andsetting my body on fireHearts are wild creatures, that’s why ourribs are cagesHer mind is deliciously improper, and herbody an aphrodisiac — Albert CanoI meant to behave, but there were toomany other optionsI don’t just want your heart. I want yourflesh, your skin, your blood, your bones,your voice, your thoughts, your pulse, andmost of all your fingerprints, everywhere— Isobel Thrilling
Pay attention to yourheadline — find aninteresting, flirty, funny,sexy, mysterious, orcheeky quote.
