| Add
a photo and get noticed! You will be surprised much
more responses you will get if you add a photo. You can scan
in your photo or take a picture with your digital camera, and can upload
it into the dating site. This is a free option and you should take
advantage of it, as he/she will want to know what you look like,
and better that he finds out sooner than later.
After you put your photo
online, there are a few things to consider before rushing off to
place your ad. Men should write ads to stand out as there is a lot
of competition because men outnumber women on the dating sites.
A woman should write an ad that specifies qualities and attributes.
Read below on how to write effective ads for both men and women.
Men's Ads
The most frequent complaint
men have is that many women do not respond to their ad or their email.
You can avoid this problem by following a few simple guidelines while writing
both your free ad and your responses to womens' ads.
Guidelines
- How to Write Effective Personal Ads
l) BE HONEST. Don't lie!
This is the quickest way to ruin a friendship and possible relationship.
So if you are short and balding, do not say you are tall and have a full
head of hair. Eventually they will find out anyway so be honest
to begin with!
Allow others to make informed
decisions about what they will and will not accept, based on an honest
representation of yourself.
2) CREATE A 'GRABBER'.
A 'grabber' is an attention-getting headline which stands out above the
rest and demands to be read. There are many, many 'DWM's, 44, seeking love'
out there. Be different. What can you say about yourself in a single sentence
which makes them want to meet you? Don't make comments about your
size of your physical attibutes as that is a turn off to many women who
seek men of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual substance.
If you have a great sense of humor, then say it, as women are attracted
to men with a sense of humor and goodwill.
3) BE SPECIFIC. Tell
them exactly what you want so say it. Be specific about values
you have along with naming hobbies and interests. The woman who understands
and appreciates it best, is the one who will reply.
4) BE POSITIVE.
Negativity repels, so if you talk about how you are in counseling and are
depressed and suicidal, you probably won't attract too many women
5) BEST FOOT FORWARD.
If your spelling skills are somewhat lacking, consult a dictionary before
submitting your otherwise artfully crafted and well-thought-out ad. |
