- A woman's perspective on this dating profile: This guy has a zest for life and is all about positive energy, so much so, that when you read his profile, it puts you in a good mood. He finds a way of standing out by incorporating an anagram in his profile—very witty and original.
- Dating website eHarmony recently released a list of the most and least 'attractive' words to use in a dating profile, and 'funny' is no longer one of them. The company's data scientists examined more than 12,000 of the most popular dating profiles on its site to determine which words attract the most potential partners.
Most dating sites, like Match.com, offer tons of advice to make the profile writing process smoother. Make use of their blogs, help pages, live chat features, and pop-ups, which will let you know things like your About Me section is too short or your main photo is too dark.
Below is part of a slightly edited great dating profile example written by a woman. I found this profile to stand out from most others, making the writer sound interesting and attractive as a person, rather than ordinary and cliche, like the vast majority of dating profiles seem to appear. Check out my new “Powerful Online Dating Profiles” Guide for a collection of exceptional dating profiles written by women, which can be useful in helping you put your best foot forward in the online dating world, whether you are a guy or a woman.
My Self Summary:
Fact: I don’t kick it with pessimists. Sarcastics? Yep. Pragmatics? Totes. Realists? For real. Straight up Pessimists? No, thank you.
Likes: my dog, laughter, my kindle, honesty, music, curiosity, sprawling vistas, leisurely walks, foodgasms, volleyball, kisses, lattes, road trips, manhattan(the place and the beverage) and anything benedict (except for arnold), and kindness. lots of kindness.
Dislikes: calories, bugs, dishonesty, tomatoes, black licorice (and anything that tastes like it), eye rolls, poor grammar/spelling, tactlessness, juggalos, black coffee, doing dishes, and the price of gas.
I’m on the internet often. I often find myself on long, wandering walks with no destination in mind.
I’m open to short-term dating (because it’s fun), but know that I am dating with an eye for the long term (because it’s more fun).
