I read about POF and I'm trying it out. I'm having a hard time figuring out what my profile should be like. Especially the about me section and the interests, etc. basically anything with the writing.
I'm assuming there should be some kind of C&F or DHV or something, but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this.
Also, should I include a picture or not? and if yes, what kind of pictures would you recommend?
Thanks,
Dan
Dan,
These are always good questions concerning Online Game. There are a few key things to consider when doing an online profile. With some dating sites, and I'm not sure if POF does, but you have a headline and that tends to be one of the hardest things for some people to write. Whatever you do make sure it's nothing cliche' like "Romantic Guy Seeks..." or "Nice Guy..." "Prince Charming seeks..." anything on those lines. Just make it fun.
Pictures are worth a 1,000 words as they say. Having a good amount of pictures on your profile will definitely set you apart from the rest. I tell most people don't consider women without photos on their profile, and if you don't have one you'd be very behind. So that leads to the question what do you want pictures of?
You want pictures of you with friends, with women, and doing things. Granted one photo of you standing in your home isn't a huge deal, but you want to show you're active. If you have a picture of you with a cute girl that demonstrates Pre-Selection right!
I do my best to include as many pictures as possible. If you don't have any yet, work to take a digital camera out with you, so you can get some snap shots.
You are 100% right that you should include some DHV spikes inside your About Me section. The biggest thing about the About Me is you actually describe your personality and not just your interests. Most men don't right much here and just put I like baseball, football, and I do this or that. We don't want a book but we definitely want her to know what your personality is like. That way she might see elements of her personality in you. People are looking for what is going to be compatible to themselves. If you are an adventurous type then put that, if you are the man of few words then right that.
Going back to DHV spikes you can always mention something like..."My past girlfriend got me into ....{insert a hobby}" Or while describing your personality mention how you'd do anything for your family (protector of loved ones) and things of that nature. This way you can casually insert the DHV spikes.
In this section make sure you include what you are looking for in a woman. Few men actually do this and it makes a huge difference. Women have no way to know what type of relationship you want and the type of girl you're into unless you tell them. You don't want to be overly specific like Above 5'9, Blondes Only, Christian, etc. That would nanrrow the field too much.
I think you are getting the idea here. Overall, in the profile you want to project yourself as being a confident person. I hate profiles that start out with
"I'm not really sure what to write..." You always want to come off as confident but not arrogant. Also, you want to avoid any types of negative statements. Being negative in an online profile is a big "No."
Negative statements would be like, "I don't like girls that smoke." or "I wouldn't date anyone who...." you can always make those comments to the girls when you actually start messaging. Until then keep it to yourself.
As far as hobbies and that sort of thing. These are what I call the Extras, women don't really check them out unless they are already pretty interested and made it through your photos and About Me. So just be honest in the types of activites that you are already do or wouldn't mind doing at some point. I try to put fun things like "Target Pistol Shooting, Fishing, I'm the Jeff Gordon of Go_karts, Dancing, Put Put Golf Master..." Just have fun with it.
That should help you get started and get yourself a very respectful profile that gets results. I hope that these tips truly help you get the girl.
Take it easy,
Jon
