The Dream Profile

The Dream Profile



You cannot take too much effort in preparing a profile. It is something that should be viewed in all seriousness. Do not treat the subject lightly. Imagine that you are preparing for a job; wouldn’t you spend a lot of time getting your resume ready?

Well, most of us take up jobs for maybe, four or five years? And how about a relationship, we don't embark on a relationship with the expectation that it would last for 4 or 5 years.

We have to understand that a relationship is worth much more than a job, because it is probably the most important decision in your life. So think about ways you can spruce up your profile.

You could of course get a professional to create a profile for you, since it saves you the effort if you're unsure. You may have to dish out a small amount of course, but it could be worth it.

There are many people who have qualms about including a picture in the profile.

but it certainly does look better to have a picture in your profile, but due to privacy issues you can refrain from including a picture.

If you're not comfortable with this step then the best thing you could do is once you are comfortable chatting with a person and are convinced that this person does not have any devious intentions, you could send your picture as an attachment or a file.

But this, too, is best done on a mutual exchange basis. It would be unfair if you know what the other person looks like but the other person is kept in the dark and vice versa.

Now, as to the picture as such, if you are sending over a picture of yourself, for heavens sake, make it a decent picture. It should be a recent one and you shouldn't make any compromises about the quality. Get a professional to do the job for you, with the digital techniques of today, they can do a very nice job.

At the same time do work on your expression before the photograph is taken. Stand in front of your mirror and try out various expressions till you get something that you think is the best for you. And remember that it should be a picture of you smiling.

You should'nt have the classic hang dog expression, or the “butter-will-not-melt-in-my-mouth expression”. Smile, it costs you nothing and it really lights up a person’s face.

Now, the next thing to do is take out a pencil and paper and write down the basic details about yourself. By basic details, that would be things like your age, your height and your weight.

This is the skeleton with which to work on. And when you have added enough meat to this skeleton, even you will be impressed by your profile!

Another crucial thing about writing your profile is to keep it as brief as possible. Nobody and that means nobody wants to read through lines and lines of another person’s profile.
