What's wrong with me? (profile help)
| Thu, 10-19-2006 - 1:29am |
Ok, a bit melodramatic I admit. Would anyone mind taking a look at my profile? I know right now my self description is a bit on the limited side, I've had more detailed ones up in the past and that didn't seem to work any better. I get few contacts and even less replies when I initiate... Thanks for any help you can provide.
And... no idea how to make the link shorter... sorry!

I think your profile pictures look great! Although, in your essay I would remove the 3 questions: Friends? More? and Interested? That will give your profile more of a confident and strong appeal. You might also write just a couple sentences about some hobbies you have. Most of the emails I get are about the hobbies I wrote about...It's a good ice breaker...Men need something to talk about in their first email to you.
Hope this helps,
Devorah
Yes, the description section is too short, doesn't say anything about you. That's the place to show your dry wit and what you are passionate about. I found having an annecdotal account helped me stand out from the crowd. Although I don't have one now I used to have a bit about when I crashed my car on my last trip to Telluride which illustrated my seeing humor in adversity. I don't know if this will work, but you can look at my profile if it will open. I currently have it hidden, as I have a BF and therefore, am not active in Match. I don't know how to put it in a link like you did.
Match has an advice section that is open to nonmembers. There are articles in the archive on writing profiles.
