Online dating: A Womans Guide to Writing a Great Profile
OK…the time has come. You have joined an online dating service or two. Now you must write that all-important profile… the one that will attract attention and reel in the man of your dreams… but where to start? Maybe writing isn’t even something you think you do all that well. Even so, you can do this.
The first thing is to be absolutely honest about yourself. You are looking for that man who will like…maybe someday love…YOU….THE REAL YOU! Examine past relationships and list the things that you liked and the things you did not like. If he smoked in the house and you hated it, you won’t like it any better the next time. If you love cats and will always want to own one or more, say that you are an animal lover and want indoor pets. Someone who hates cats or is allergic to them is not the guy for you.
Accent the things that make you unique. If you play the piano well, you really want Mr. Right to appreciate it. If you run in marathons, a couch potato is not a good match. If you love art, you really don’t want a man who thinks Picasso is an ice cream flavor.
Describe the things that are vital in your life. If volunteering is the one thing that makes you feel useful and worthwhile, you want someone who would, at the very least, support you if not join you in your volunteer projects. When you get beyond superficial things, you will attract men who share your values.
Invest in your online profile by hiring a professional photographer for your first online picture. This is so important. The picture is the FIRST thing men see. The second thing is that they read what you have written about yourself. Some online dating sites even provide you with a list of photographers in your area that specialize in online dating site photos.

what men want: women who don’t need help writing their profile (i.e.this article), and especially women who don’t hire a f-ing professional photographer for their profile picture.
oh yah and boobies

Let me give it as painlessly as I can for you, a guy looks more at the pictures in your profile than your written profile… Your profile is important yes, just get some good pictures of yourself smiling and in happy mood.. that is what is attractive, a happy woman! Guy’s are visual…

i disagree with Tom73. photos are important, but a lot of men are actually looking for a real connection with a like mind, and not just a hot face and body to get it on with.
i also disagree with Tom’s emphasis on photos of Women “smiling and in happy mood.” i myself much prefer strong-willed Women with a penchant for taking the upper hand and who make no promise, either express or implied, to always be easy to deal with and easy to please. i’m far more intrigued by a photo of a beautiful Woman looking serious/formidable/thoughtful/potentially dangerous than i am by a photo that says, “i’m nothing but charming and cute and adorable and happy and upbeat” and so forth.
i guess i prefer photos that show me that there’s stuff going on behind those pretty eyes. and that disobeying or displeasing this Woman will not be a comfortable experience for me.
yeah. that’s what i like.
