Ok, I see people here give advice to other people of ways to "enhance" their dating profiles - ie. instead of saying unemployed; to say something (stupid in my opinion) like "In a phase between jobs" or "seeking for a better life opportunity" bla bla or to say "uniquely introvert" instead of saying "socially inept" ...bla bla.

I seriously believe that the final product after these "enhancement" is a fake-sounding and non-genuine profile.

I understand the motif behind these "enhancements" (Aka white lies) but I think it may be useful only for a first day, never for the second.

Any profile 'enhanced' in that way is always trying to hide something, and this is/are usually the reasons why this person is struggling in dating and why he/she went for online dating in the first place.


So this is what the thread for: Write your real profile here, no matter how boring and routinely your life may sound (and if it sounds too boring, then that's the problem).

The profile has two parts:

1. A Short summary about yourself
2. What you are doing in your life and daily life.

For what reason, Boo? Don't you think this forum can become some kind of dating site? I believe there's 10 guys to 1 girl.

Matthew Hussey: 'Be the best version of yourself'

That goes for datingprofiles as well.

No, it's not for dating purpose.

It's to make them see the differences between the real them vs what they write on okcupid/pof. :P

Nice. I wrote on okcupid the truth. It's a bit better than Russian dating sites - at least I have some visitors on my page but still just two messages last four weeks.
