Recently, while working with one female client on improving herĀ experience meetingĀ men online and making her online dating profile more interesting and more appealing to the kind of guys she wanted to meet, I ran into this oneĀ femaleĀ profile that was asĀ brief as it wasĀ unique and eye catching. It had all theĀ elements of a great online datingĀ profile – it was different,Ā it was free of cliche statementsĀ and it contained noĀ bragging. What that woman says on her page must resonate with a lot of others who understand that romantic chemistry is hard to define, but we all know it when we have it and when we feel it. Well, judge for yourself, as theĀ entire profile has been copied and pastedĀ below:
“It doesn’t really matter does it? Chemistry doesn’t come from an “about me” box. So lets go get coffee, go to an obnoxiously pretentious art gallery, go get some whiskey and play pool while trading stories or share a flask on the bus and laugh about how horrible we are for each other. :p
Interests: coffee cigarettes & conversation, adventures of ridiculous intent with my band of merry pranksters, dancing, puzzles, sparring matches, psychology, philosophy, comedy, hedonism, anomalies, magic tricks, music that makes you feel, people that make you think”Ā
I would never encourage anyone to copy someone else’s online dating profile, but the above writing style can be an inspiration to anyone else who wants to stand out and have better results meeting men online.
There are a lot of dating profiles with paragraphs and paragraphs of words that really, in the end, say very little. Then, there are short profiles that say a lot. This is a prime example. Sure, this kind of profile doesn’t fit for everybody, but it serves as a lesson that sometimes people do overthink their profiles when there can be a much better simpler answer.
