A woman’s point of view
the best that both men and women can do is to be themselves in their profiles. The only thing is that they should try to show their positive and attractive arts at first, like they do when they first meet people in real life. It is better to write not what you want to find but who you are...
I like profiles that make you feel that the person is ready for meeting new people, that the person is mature enough to be themselves and that the person is happy with every day they live. A profile should definitely be positive, make people feel like they want to get to know this person for sure. It is the same like in real life, when you go out to meet some people you first try to make a positive impression, online personals profiles should be considered and equaled to be like the first monologue in real life...Just imagine you stand on a stage in a club, pub, etc. and need to say something to people there so that to attract them. Whatever you have said on that stage, write it down in your personal ad. I have met a very interesting person online. When he sent me a message i didnt like neither his photos nor his message so i didnt respond. but when i checked the profile i changed my mind, dont know why, there was some useless stuff in this profile but exactly the same stuff i would like to hear from a man.
