Creating An Online Profile
For
Online Dating
Advice (from a man) to a woman, looking for a man.
Regardless of what anyone says about "being attracted to a persons looks
being superficial".....We are (attracted by looks). There is no getting around
the fact. Physical attraction at a couples first point of contact has it's
important role to play and is a healthy integral part of mating.
That is not to say one must be beautiful, just that there must be something
that a man finds attractive in her appearance. Yes, I am of course, recommending
you put your best face forward. Be honest about providing an accurate, recent
photo, but find one you (or a friend) feels best showcases your best smile or
whatever it is that makes you irresistible. Depending on the type of
relationship you are seeking, "best face forward" may not necessarily mean
face, if you catch my drift. Do keep in mind, "what" and "the way" you depict
yourself will have a great deal of influence on who responds and why.
I know you're paying attention, so you caught the bit about "accurate, recent
photo. It's very important not fool yourself into thinking you still look just
the same you did in the staff picnic photo taken ten years ago. If you honestly
represent your current best self, you'll end up with someone who is attracted to
the real you, instead of disappointed he is not meeting the 10 years younger you
he expected from your photo. Deceit about appearance, resulting in let down, is
a big hurdle to overcome at the start and never ends in a happy ending.
All of the above is true for stating your age accurately too.
If you're only about looking for a "romp", there's no need to read any
further. My wit and wisdom is not going to get any deeper, and you know pretty
much all you need to know about putting together your profile. People you are
hoping to connect with and those most likely to reply are unlikely to be
requiring to know your emotional needs or favorite hobby. (But that does happen
sometimes too...Looking for fun and finding romance!)
I'll be back soon to continue this ... In the meantime if you want to ask us
a question about putting together your profile, E-mail us at
info@onlinedatingresources.com.
I'll be back soon!
