Editing a Dating Profile for Men

I recently came across an interesting dating profile on match. Here it is:

Are us good guys really so hard for women to find? Alrighty then, here are my innermost thoughts...

First, some housekeeping. Some have said my few pix are lousy. Tell ya what, I"ll send you more or better, Pix. If you are curious about my physical looks, JUST ASK ME!)

Does Match only work for women, not for men? The chemistry of personality & physical attraction is hard to find, but when found, it's amazing. Hard to believe all us "Good Guys" are taken. I think most women on Match have just experienced the "serial daters", & we "previously domesticated", "well trained" guys get lumped in with the schmucks. There must be a woman out there who's romantic, honest, faithful, erotic, has sense of humor, loves their family, friends &wants to explore new interests, activities & the road less traveled. Someone to become best friends with, get to know our deepest feelings, thoughts and Intimate Desires. I consider myself all of the above, & can carry on intelligent conversations for more than two minutes. I'm not hard charger through the "Dating Scene" just for the ACTION. I'm just the opposite. Not that I don't like the girl/guy ACTION, I'm a guy after all, & an assertive woman is on my "turn-on" list for this profile. But usually that's it a quick round of mattress aerobics, & BANG! But those relationships don't last.(Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!)I'm willing to wait for the right match, if your out there. I'm a normal, healthy, happy & active kind of guy. (I'm not the marathon before breakfast/free climbing half dome before bed kind of guy). Right now it's work, family, friends, gym, fun, and lifes little chores (can't forget those), and free time, like now. Not always in that order. And I definately want to fit in a nice, honest, uninhibited, faithful, girlfriend into that schedule. (sarcastic humor). Long Sunday drives, weekend getaways, go to games or participating, skiing is fav., or lunch/dinners & of cou personal entertainment. I'm very easy, relaxed in my new found single life. I'm ready and able to be molded and trained into your hearts desire. I enjoy the quiet times when nothings pending. Sitting or laying together on the couch, talking, watching a movie, Daily Show or cozy time enjoying a rainy night under a blanket(as is normally described here in these forums). My Looks? Well I consider myself reletively attractive(again everything is relative and you can ask for measurements if you want.)Some have told me I look a little younger than my actual age, some say older(Not Many!). But I definely don't always think or act my age. But again those are all YOUR calls. YOU get to decide all those factors when you talk and meet with me. I'm the guy you might pause and take a second look at, in a Starbucks, or the supermarket, at the airport, or even next to you on a plane, maybe your standing next to me in a elevator of a professional building. Well dressed, a suit/tie most of the time, my favorite jeans during all other times. As I mentioned earlier, I'm polite, professional, respectful, mostly extroverted, but quiet if I don't know you. I’m not the type to hit on you or ask you out during our brief chat during a slow elevator ride. But if you become comfortable at that point? Hmmm, maybe you might volunteer your number or e-maiL(I like that best), or maybe I ask for your number or e-mail and I connect with you later? Maybe we just continue talking until a comfort level develops? Who knows? I always respect other people and their boundaries. I am the type of guy your parents might have liked, (or who knows, might have HATED) “That Nice Guy Next Door” type. However, I'm not stuck in my ways. I'm very laid back, and open to almost everything. Originally from a town in Northern Wis. and have retained my Midwestern values & blended them with my great California upbringing.
I'm the guy you CAN teach new tricks . I know you want to. Come on Mistris Mandy, TEACH ME!

Ps. Pix all taken in the last year. New ones will be sent to you if

First of all, I have to say that paragraphs are necessary to make a dating profile easier on the eyes. It is already hard to read so many dating profiles. Make it easier for the women.

Now, here is how I would edit it to make it more appealing without changing it too much.

- The headline should be exciting and intriguing. Yours is desperate and frustrated, like you are giving up before you even start. - Are us good guys really so hard for women to find? Come up with something more original..

- This needs to go Alrighty then, here are my innermost thoughts... What is it for? What does it do for your profile? Just filler? Don’t warm up the engine. Grab the reader’s attention from the first paragraph.

- First, some housekeeping. Some have said my few pix are lousy. Tell ya what, I"ll send you more or better, Pix. If you are curious about my physical looks, JUST ASK ME!) – ok, this “sales pitch” is like saying “now I am going to tell you why you should buy a used vacuum cleaner”

- Does Match only work for women, not for men? Translates “I am so sick and tired of not getting ANY responses”

- The chemistry of personality & physical attraction is hard to find, but when found, it's amazing. – this is ok, mediocre but ok

- Hard to believe all us "Good Guys" are taken. - Sounding like a women’s psychology expert. And who said women like the “good guys”, AKA spineless doormats. Women like men who are exciting, intriguing, dangerous, unpredictable

- I think most women on Match have just experienced the "serial daters", - where do you get this information? & we "previously domesticated", "well trained" guys get lumped in with the schmucks.

There must be - this first part makes you sound frustrated and disappointed. It needs to go
a woman out there who's romantic, honest, faithful, and erotic, has sense of humor, loves her (not theirs) family, friends and wants to explore new interests, activities and the road less traveled. Someone to become best friends with, get to know our deepest feelings, thoughts and intimate desires (no need to capitalize Intimate Desires even though you may think it’s the most important part, it makes a woman go ewwwwww)

I consider myself all of the above. I can carry on intelligent conversations for more than two minutes. I'm not hard charger through the "Dating Scene" just for the ACTION. I'm just the opposite.

- Not that I don't like the girl/guy ACTION, I'm a guy after all, & an assertive woman is on my "turn-on" list for this profile. But usually that's it a quick round of mattress aerobics, & BANG! But those relationships don't last.(Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!)I'm willing to wait for the right match, if your out there. – this needs to go

Long Sunday drives, weekend getaways, going to games or participating, skiing are my favorites, or lunch, dinners and of course personal entertainment.

How To Meet The Best Men On a Dating Site

Maybe you have just started with online dating, or perhaps you've been on a dating site for some time, and have tasted men's interest online. Sure, as a woman, you have an advantage over men on a dating site. You wonder "do I really need great pictures? I am getting more attention from men than I can handle? The problem is that I don't get the quality men. I get practically swamped with e-mail from men, but I can't find anyone I'd like to date." Sounds familiar? Think about all the e-mails that you get on a dating site that you don't even want to read. As soon as you open up an e-mail from a man, you just go, what was he thinking about? He could be my dad! Or, do I look that bad? What were you thinking about when you wrote to me?

Here is the good news for you. Single men who are great catches feel just as frustrated as you are. I get multiple e-mails from men from a variety of dating sites who say "you are the one I really want to meet." Why do you think men are so drawn to my profile if they have never seen me? They've never met me. Why do you think they want to meet me and think I am the one they are really interested in meeting? I have met multiple great looking men online. I have met some of the most successful and wealthy men in the country.

How can you meet high caliber men via online dating? How can you consistently meet good looking men? How can you consistently meet successful men?

The answer is very simple. The two main components of success on a dating site are - your pictures and the dating profile write up. Great quality professional dating site pictures taken and prepared specifically for online dating, by a professional photographer get you more viewed by better quality of men ensuring good quality matches and potential relationship that you can get out of your online dating site membership.

Did you know that most men give up on online dating within the first three months of being on a dating site? Why do you think that is? The answer is that men who are not all that interesting, attractive and together don't get many replies from women on a dating site. Then again, men who are bombarded with women's solicitations on a dating site are particularly choosy. They get very frustrated by getting contacted by hundreds of women they do not find interesting or attractive.

Men are visual creatures and at this point of online dating introduction a man has to go by what you look like and what you say in your dating site profile. Your picture is the first thing that captures men's attention on an online dating site. While no one can put their smarts into your head and make you write expressively, having attention grabbing pictures is entirely in your hands. Take charge and start attracting better quality, good looking men on a dating site.

Should I Be Myself on Dating Site Pictures or Be Someone I am Not?

I hear this from women a lot, “I am who I am and the guy either likes me or not just the way I am”. Let’s talk about this for a moment. What exactly does it mean being yourself? Being yourself means to be yourself in a way that is going to be true to yourself, your authentic, genuine, real and unique you.

What is the difference between ‘being yourself’ in the best way, and ‘being yourself’ as most women think of it. When most women think about being themselves for men think of it as they should just be the good, bad or downright ugly, whatever they feel like around men and for their men. They interpret being themselves as being able to look whatever they feel like and expect men to love them just the way they are, with unshaved legs, no makeup and undone hair. Women who think that way usually believe that they should not make any effort to be best looking they can be and just let the men accept them for who they are.

Perhaps baggy sweats, an oversized t-shirt, unshaven legs, makeup-free face, unplucked eyebrows, and unwashed hair is what you are when you are at home alone. And that is just fine when you have been in a relationship for some time. The man will learn to love you for who you are, but until then you need to bring out the best you. And the best you is also you, only dolled up, clean and groomed.

Picture yourself in your little black dress, groomed, clean, nicely styled, and with a little makeup on to bring out your best features. That is also you, but not the lazy gloomy you, but the beautiful, confident you, who is out there to conquer all men in the world.

Both those images are you. And there is nothing wrong about being the beautiful you.

Which image do you want to convey through your dating site pictures? You decide!

How NOT to write a dating ad

How not to write a dating profile.

Craigslist is not the best place to post your dating profile. I’ve said that before, but today someone attracted my attention on Blog Catalog forums by offering to take a look at this bizarre man’s dating ad on craigslist.

"Successful Man Searching for His Princess - 27 (Upper East Side)"

"First of all let me start out by saying that I hate fat women on Craigslist. I mean who in their right mind would call themselves a Big Beautiful Woman. Is this something your parents helped indoctrinate you with when all the children were calling you names in grade school? Fat is NOT "phat" and fat is definitely NOT beautiful. Being overweight is neither healthy physically or mentally. In my opinion, this is one of the main problems facing America right now. Long story short, do not reply to this ad if you are even 10 pounds overweight, I don't want to waste your time. (see JennyCraig.com for a healthy height/weight ratio chart)

As for me:

I am a successful web entrepreneur who has started two online businesses. I made my first million when I was only eighteen and have never looked back since. To tell you the truth, I've been pretty successful my whole life without really trying. I was valedictorian of my high school class and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from a top three school. When most were struggling through these classes, I was easily earning top marks. In fact, after the amount of times I corrected my professors, I truly believe I'm more apt and qualified to teach than three quarters of them.

My life's philosophy is to work hard and play even harder. I own a condo in Long Beach and enjoy wake boarding and jet skiing in the summer. In the off months, I allow my mother to reside there provided that she upkeep the house. She seems to be happy with the arrangement, and who knows, perhaps she'd be keen to clean the house for us in the summer.

I'm a Republican and believe that throughout life we should all have to fight for what we want. If you feel you are being treated unfairly, my advice is to stop crying and find a way to deal with it. I'm sick of all these liberal groups whining about equal rights. It seems as if there's a different group for every flavor of minority. I'm a white man, who the hell is looking out for me? (answer: no one) Please be of similar mind in regards to politics. If you want Barrack Hussein Osama to become our next president, then I am NOT the man for you. However, if you're looking forward to a presidency under the Maverick himself, by all means contact me.

I enjoy eating at all the popular restaurants in the city including Alain Ducasse, Per Se, and who could forget Masa. I should mention that I like Masa not only for their excellent Sushi, but also due to the fact that their valet parking staff is actually all white. It creeps me out to know some immigrant from West Africa is driving my SL500. And sure, these places are a little more expensive than most, but I can easily afford it. My prospective girlfriend should enjoy getting dolled up and have a pallet fit for a queen. Fine food and the night life are pleasures I tend to indulge myself with, and so should you. I'm looking for someone to help me paint this town red and green with envy!

Finally, I do not intend to have any children. My nieces and nephews provide enough incentive to bypass this "joy" of life. There is no arguing about this and once again, if this is something you are opposed to, please don't waste my time with a reply. Shoot me an email if you'd like to know more. Remember, your picture gets mine."

A quick google search showed that the same posting had appeared twice in the Washington, DC area and had been flagged and removed both times. However, the posting on Manhattan craigslist stayed. At the request of Blog Catalog members on the forum I sent this guy an e-mail including a couple of pictures. Apparently we all wanted to know what he looks like. To my disappointment he never responded. I really don’t think he will. He probably thinks it’s some evil joke and someone is reciprocating in kind to his unkind hate dating post.
Successful Man Searching for His Princess - Craigslist Ad
PS: Like all of you probably guessed by now it was a joke and the guy in question was running an experiment.

Dating site photos warning signs

Did you know that some people post fake photos on their dating site profiles? I have heard of it before, but never really met anyone whose photos did not match the reality. The only really time that I have seen an actual profile with someone else’s photos on Match.com was about a year ago. And here is how I know that it was a fake profile; I had met a man on a dating site sometime before. He lived in Florida and flew to California to meet me. He was a very handsome man, but clearly he did not live where I lived and I certainly was not going to move. Dating his at that point did not seem live a viable option, although I had agreed to meet him.

Sometime later I saw his picture again on Match.com and decided to say hello. When I clicked on the main picture, I was taken to his dating profile. What I saw absolutely blew my mind. The man in the profile did not live where the guy lived. In fact, he lived in another country and his description was not what the other guy was. Not even similar. The profession was different, and everything else was different. To top that off, he only had one photo, the one that was his main photo. The photo was a low resolution which suggested that it was downloaded off of a website and saved on the hard drive, then uploaded on his dating profile.

Normally, I hear from men that they have meet women on Match.com that had somebody else’s pictures on their dating profiles, but for a man to do that, that’s never heard of. After all, men are not as particular about their dating site pictures, and they don’t care as much as women do about attracting women on a dating site by simply using great photographs.

I think I reported the violation to Match.com management but I am not sure what happened to that dating site member afterwards. Neither do I know whether it was a dating site scammer from another country.

Since that incident I have not heard about another dating site picture theft until today. But today, browsing WealthyMen
out of curiosity, I noted a photo of a somewhat known male model amongst dating site members. I was surprised to see that male model on a dating site listed in my area. When I clicked on the profile, more pictures of the same model appeared to be on the dating profile. I know exactly who that man is. He is an agency model who has appeared in various magazines and on TV. It would make more sense if the male model had suddenly moved to my area. However, the dating site profile of the man who had posted the model’s pictures said that dating site member was an engineer, and the entire description of the person did not match. I reported the violation to WealthyMen


With widely used photo sharing, myspace and facebook profiles of people posting multiple pictures, online dating site scammers and other dishonest people feel that they have found their paradise. Those people who think their looks are not enough to attract someone, deceptively post better looking people’s pictures on a dating site. I personally think that if you are that ugly that you are embarrassed to post your own pictures on a dating site, you should not be dating at all. So, if you are dating online, always be cautious about who you are meeting. It may be a dating site predator hiding behind somebody else’s pictures. Read safety tips for online dating before meeting someone for the first date.

If you browse singles at any given online dating site, you will notice that many dating profile headlines sound the same. If you want to attract singles on a dating site, you need to be original.

Just Looking Around

Ok, here is one good original dating site head line I liked, “Baggage should fit in the overhead compartment or underneath the seat.”

Writing a Great Dating Profile

Writing a great dating site profile can be an extremely time-consuming task to say the least. And if you are just starting your online dating quest after a divorce or a break-up, you probably aren’t familiar with the latest online dating profile trends. Online dating has significantly changed since its infancy back ten years ago when it was what we thought of a geeky way of meeting socially inept singles. Nowadays, online dating is no longer a subject we are ashamed of. Just like we do online banking and bill payment, we are now outsourcing the first step of dating, which is the introductory stage.

With that said, a dating profile is a critical stage in online dating process. Just like with online shopping, we are too quick to eliminate potential mismatches. Instead of “traditional”, old-fashioned way of introduction, with the initial anxiety of not knowing if the other person is attracted to you, is accepting and approachable, we can say with significantly greater assurance that persons on a dating site are the ones who are single, available and are actively looking. The question is how do you write a great dating profile to get those quality singles interested?

Days when members could not upload photos directly onto a dating site and had to send their pictures via snail mail to the online dating site offices (yes, I remember those days) have long passed as well as the days when every new member received an overwhelming number of responses to their dating profiles without even posting a photo. Now singles are more selective if who they respond to. They prefer quality over quantity. We are all busy people, and living in the fast lane we do not take the time to dig deeper if the first impression is not enough to awaken strong desire in a Starbucks meeting (a modern way of evaluating chemistry potential). That is why writing a dating profile that highlights your best qualities in a language that is fun and breezy is a key step in online dating introduction process.

I don’t discount the importance of photos on a dating site. In fact, I addressed this particular issue on my blog a while back. You can read my articles dedicated to online dating site photos on my blog, but this is not what this page is about.
Dating online since 1999, having been married twice in between, and having met literally hundreds of people on various dating site, I can say with assurance that I am an expert in online dating and writing a profile. The single men I have met over the year have all been intelligent, well-educated, articulate, successful and good-looking. I am very selective in whom I meet, and yet, I could have three dates in a day if I wanted to. Additionally, I have helped numerous male and female friends with their dating site profiles.
See, knowing men and women’s psychology, and what each gender is drawn to, I can not only write an eloquent intro for a dating site, but I also hit the nail on the head when I write to specific audience. You can read a real example of a dating profile for men which I wrote a while back for a friend of mine. He received literally hundreds of unsolicited responses from women who told him anything from “this is the best dating profile I have ever come across” to “You had me at hello”, to “I cried when I read your profile”.

At the same time, as a woman, writing a quality dating profile that gets you the kind of responses you want requires a particular skill set. My personal dating profile has been copied, re-written in many formats and brutally plagiarized by multiple single women and even men! Speaking of which, Dating site plagiarism has grown substantially in proportion with the increase of online dating popularity. However, simply copying somebody else’s profile does not make YOU sound unique. I have literally seen people copy my sample dating profiles from my blog and paste them into their new dating profiles.

But remember, YOU are unique. And you want to be one of a kind on a dating site. There is no one else in this whole world like you. And by copying another’s dating profile you discount yourself.

I’ll give you an example. I received an e-mail from a man who was not getting any responses. He asked me what was the best initial e-mail that I have ever received on a dating site. I forwarded him an e-mail that my ex-husband had sent to me when he first saw me on a dating site. What do you think this man did? He copied that e-mail and sent it to a woman he wanted to meet on a dating site. Her response was prompted by anger more so than anything else. She wrote that it was clearly a “form letter”. I was not surprised. The e-mail that my ex-husband sent to me addressed something that I wrote in MY dating profile. Clearly, it did not address a single thing in that other woman’s profile.

After that incident, I suggested re-writing that man’s dating profile and getting new and professional photos through LookBetterOnline.com. Upon a complete makeover, he immediately got dates with three women the same week!
Now, some online dating gurus charge hundreds of dollars per a personalized dating profile and even more for additional services, such as follow up e-mails and dinner dates (just kidding about dinner dates). For instance, Evan Marc Katz, who is a dating coach based out of Los Angeles offers such services at a hmmmm….. lofty price. Granted, he is a published writer. After all, outsourcing your dating profile to Kurt Vonnegut could cost you.

Now, here is the punch line you’ve all been waiting for. For $59.95 you will receive a complete profile makeover written specifically for a dating site of your choice. I strongly recommend that you read my dating profile that I had posted during my recent cruise on a dating site a few months back. And when you get to my blog, I want you to browse around a bit to get acquainted with my writing style. Remember though, in order to provide the most fulfilling experience to my readers, I from time to time post relevant dating news or references to other dating advice sites that I find valuable to my readers, so those posts will have a link to the source. Majority of the posts are my original writing, and those are the ones I want you to scan to properly evaluate the potential of our collaboration.

As a thank you for your order you will also receive a FREE evaluation of your photos ($25 value). In case you didn’t know, I am also a model and a photographer, so you can trust my opinion. Feel free to submit up to four photos to get my professional opinion.
E-mail me and I’ll send you a questionnaire and instructions on how to order my service.
