When browsing on a dating site, if you’re reading the online dating profile you’re no longer looking at the superficial things like their age, location or their hair style in the profile picture, you’re reading their profile because they’ve caught your eye and you want to know more about them. You’re looking for a reason to get in touch – or a reason not to! That’s why your dating profile needs to be more than a list of likes and dislikes, or a barrage of achievements; it’s not about showing off, it’s about showboating.
So here are some spoof dating profiles I’ve jazzed up to give anyone who’s struggling a bit of inspiration.
OK, so you like the simple things in life, doesn’t mean your profile has to be simple though…
Plain and simple
I’m a graphic designer and in my spare time I like reading and walking and listening to music. I like eating out and my perfect date would be to meet in a coffee shop which serves nice cake.
Becomes… “Simply Charming”
When I’m not designing the world’s next iconic logo I enjoy the simple pleasures in life. My nose is usually burrowedburied in a good book, my feet are happiest when strolling around the countryside and my ears have great taste in music. I’m a real foodie, so my perfect date would be to sample some authentic Italian cuisine in Venice, failing that I’d settle for a cosy coffee shop that serves a slice of yummy chocolate cake!
Show off your good points, without putting them off…
The Show Off
I’m a great guy who has many friends and a great career. I like to work out and take a lot of pride in my appearance. I’m funny, intelligent good looking and people are always asking me why I am still single.
Becomes… “A Showboat!”
I really enjoy my life and I’m pleased with what I’ve achieved so far. But no-one’s perfect and we all need a bit of help sometimes; which is why I am here. Apparently I’ve got nice eyes and look good in a pair of speedos, but you’ll have to get in touch to find out if that’s true.
Avoid overdone phrases and cheesy clichés…
Heard it all before?
I’m a genuine girl with a good sense of humour. I’m outgoing, down to earth and like socialising. I would like to meet someone who enjoys live music, travelling and trying out new things.
Becomes… “Want to hear more?”
Fancy going to a gig? How about a weekend away in a Brussels? How about just chilling in a trendy wine bar with some good conversation? Well this fun-loving girl needs a partner in crime, so if you know how to have a laugh and have a spontaneous streak, get in touch.
