Best:
"Free Your Mind.....and The Rest Will Follow" I liked this one because it seemed to say that the writer might have something more going on upstairs than just a pretty face. The fact that it was ambiguous was also a draw as it made me want to know what she was referring to.
Worst:
“Down to earth girl looking for regular guy” This may be the case for this digital debutante, but it’s anything but exciting. Actually, it’s downright boring. Your life has spice. Harness it!
“This is a profile intervention!” Okay – not great but not too bad, either! What the heck could be so wrong that his profile needs an intervention? He’s got an exclamation point at the end—this must be serious! I don’t know why, but I clicked in to read what was going on. Plus, I was 27 profiles deep in the men's section and this was the most interesting I found to that point.
“If you can't join them, beat them!!” Men like this make it so much easier for regular guys to find good dates. He’s advertising violent tendencies in a headline. It may be a joke, but it’s a sure sign he’s really not tuned into the more subtle, non-violent dating world around him. Thanks, Hero, we’ll be giving your profile a wide pass!
“Just a girl, looking for a boy, asking him to love her!” Okay, famous line alert! Well, Julia, I don’t think this was such a bad play. It’s a great stand-alone sentence, but it also ties into that poignant onscreen Notting Hill moment between Ms. Robertson and Mr. Grant. I feel a tear coming on!
“I'd Rather Be Hated For Who I Am, Than To Be Loved For Who I'm Not” This one runs lukewarm. The point is valid but the delivery is lacklustre. It doesn’t inspire. It doesn’t tantalize. It’s just a plain old statement of fact and I’d rather roll on by.
“Common Myths and The Truth About Guys. Volume 1, No.1” This boy is working outside of the box. He’s bent his head around something he thinks women might want to know about—who knew! Plus he sparks it up by playing the whole volume angle. Not bad for window dressing!
“Screw the keys and locks, just stick it in the box, cause i'm the mailman” Hahaha! Hahaha... no.
“I'll take an order of funny, attractive and intelligent... to go” A little creative flair has helped this line land in my winner’s column. She gets her point across and she also has a subtle call-to-action in her “to go”. I don’t know where she’s going, but I just might follow.
“sweet toronto girl” Bad, bad, bad! First off, sentences begin with a capital letter and titles have all caps. This is clearly neither. This shows a lack of attention to detail that might play into the rest of her life. Second, she uses the word “sweet” to describe herself. Why not nice, good or clean? Those, like sweet, are three equally boring and non-descriptive words. Mentioning her location really doesn’t set her aside from anyone else in her city, either, and that’s usually who you’re competing with. Lastly, she states the obvious: girl. What a waste of a word!
“Save a horse...ride a cowboy” Sure enough, this dude was wearing a cowboy hat! Okay, it’s an old cliché, but if you’re going to try this line you have to do it right. This cowpoke wins with the right combo of setup and sass.
“Homer Simpson looking for Jessica Simpson” The beast is looking for a beauty—who knew? Suddenly every girl that could knock at your door has to stand, in their minds, next to a super-babe. Talk about discouraging! At least the reference to you and Homey is dead on!
I may be a little harsh but that's the way you need to look at your profiles. Leave a few of your favorites below and good luck grabbing attention!
