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

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)

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.
