Hey J - I'm a long time reader, first time replyer from Denmark hoping for your advice on two simple and yet utterly complicated issues:
1) I have lost my "how to write a profile text"-mojo. I used to have success on match and similar places but don't anymore. So do you have any great "how to make your profile smooth"-tips? How long should it be? How cocky? Is there a 'golden profile text' floating around out there for me to copy/paste?
If there is such a text of a golden profile out there I do not know of it or would recommend you use it. Keep in mind that stuff like that may work to initially get you the girl but once she realizes you are not that person who wrote that profile and she will things will end very quickly. Stuff like that are short cuts and will only get you so far.
I have written multiple tips on this thread. Multiple pictures are by far the biggest thing. What you are doing in those photos will help a lot back up what your profile says you are like and what you interests are.
Being honest about what you want in a girl, and in a relationship is also very important to put in the profile. If you want to just date put that, if you want sex, or if you want something long term. Being open up front and honest about your intentions are will be a huge step in helping you get the girl.
You want your profile to be more like a short essay about yourself. You want just a few paragraphs. You want your introduction paragraph, a paragraph about yourself, a paragraph about what you are looking for, then a call to action for her to contact you at the end of your profile.
Whether or not you should be cocky in your profile is up to you. I hate to say the old cliche' thing but be yourself. If you are naturally cocky then be that way, if not then don't do it. However, I would definitely come across as confident.
Finally as a personal tip I get a lot of credit for, proof read your profile before posting it, and check it for grammar and spelling errors.

2) For me the opener is always the trickiest. As I am pretty busy I normally have a predefined charming opener, that I more or less just copy/paste - and that seemed to work, but again: Doesn't anymore. So: What is your preferred opener? How much to the differ from girl to girl? If at all?...
Thanks for your help in advance - and for all the great posts on the forum.
My openers don't differ much from girl to girl. My openers are generally very direct and to the point. I usually give a few compliments and then ask to get to know her better through the site. Either she will or she won't. I tend to be direct because again that is my natural personality to go that way.
I do this to setup to build comfort first as it is my normal procedure. I assume that if she messages me back she is attracted to me based on what I wrote and my pictures. I proceed to build comfort because my next step is to get her # and on a date. By positioning myself to go straight into comfort building for a while I can get her to the point she is okay with going on a date. Once on that date I go back and take care of attraction.
