More Online Profile Tips

As I mentioned earlier you should answer every question possible for your profile.  Having the most complete profile gives men the most complete idea about you.  And if it is a matchmaking site, it gets you the best possible matches to sift through, even if they may number in the 100s. 

You need to file out the answer completely and in complete sentences.  However, you really do not want to be going to the limit unless what you are saying is completely unique.  You can often look at a preview of your profile to see if you have been long winded or too brief.

Core questions like "What are you passionate about?" and "What are you looking for in a mate?" are vitally important questions that should be answered carefully.  Passion questions deal with what gets you up every morning and what keeps you going everyday.  It could be your job, some aspect of your faith, a favorite hobby, etc.  As much as I did not enjoy English class as a kid, something stuck with me.  A topic paragraph should start with a topic sentence and continue with sentences that support the main idea of your first sentence.  That is the way that core questions... or any questions should be answered.

Listing questions are just that a simple list of items that you are thankful for, cannot live without, or something of that nature.  Keep it simple.

I have seen many women list shopping as one of their favorite leisure or free time activities.  Men read this as "I like to spend money... on things... that I most likely do not need... and have no space for... and I put them on a credit card.... that either my daddy will pay off or I will just throw away when the bill comes."  If by shopping you mean something near that, then keep it as is.  If you do not, then be a little more specific and say something like "browsing for antiques" or "going to thrift shops" or "finding cute clothes that fit my budget".

Most every site asks you to name the last book that you read AND ENJOYED.  Answers that turn men off are listing a ton of books (there is a section for favorite authors or genres on the site I frequent and yet women still list in favorite book)  putting technical manuals that you did not enjoy, saying you have no time for books, or putting that you do not read.  A better answer for the latter two is "No offense to book lovers, however I would rather... during my free time." A cute answer is "Do magazines count?", however it only works if you have a strong enough profile that shows that you have other varied interests.  It is okay to put down a book that you read a while ago,  however you might mention that it was some time ago.
