A Dating Profile is Not a Shopping List
"To live a life is not to cross a field" - old Russian proverb
To write a dating profile is not to write a shopping list.
Is a shopping list exciting? Maybe to a chef?
If you're writing a dating profile, consider it your flag that's waving to men you may be interested in.
If you want a relationship, posting an online profile is the best way to cast a wide net.
Sure you can flirt over lettuce at the grocery store, if you can catch someone's eye - that's the organic approach, but going online offers you many more options.
You get to see how their grammar is.
Plus, you can easily eliminate men who are holding a fish (word to men, why?)
Or men who're posting uninspiring photos of themselves
(see related link in comments - lol)
You get to illustrate who you are and who you're seeking, by showing, not telling.
By putting your best photos online. After all, it's a kind advertising. For you. Give yourself the best odds.
A shopping list is uninspiring - I'd promptly swipe away from that. Some of my friends have posted lists of what they want and wonder why they attract uninspiring men.
Showing, as with the blueberry waffles and the Sunday Times, lets him put himself in the picture. Then he can ask, "Is that a picture I want to be in?"
If he does, he'll reach out.
If you are interested in a guy, you have my complete approval to reach out to the guy first.
But only once! If you get no response, let it go. If you reach out after that, you're chasing. When we feel chase energy, what do we do? Run away. Our objective is to attract. :)
