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.

PS: Like all of you probably guessed by now it was a joke and the guy in question was running an experiment.

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.
