I work for the county, and I don’t really make that much money, but I do love what I do

About me My life as a stockbroker demands that I’m always fit for fight. I spend my free time at the gym, preferably close to the windows so that people passing by can admire my designer running tights. The weekends are action 24/7; you can find me where the fine wines flow, and.

OK, if the preceding words appeal to you please stop reading right now. I’m not right for you. I’ll be a huge disappointment. In fact, I’m the polar opposite of that guy. I spend my spare time relaxing on the sofa or with friends if I feel like it. At times I can be kind of difficult, to tell you the truth. And I swear pigs will fly the day I don a pair of running tights.

This text belongs to a friend of mine, and he’s not totally lost when it comes to online dating

What I’m looking for You have to be independent and you have senior dating sites to have some degree of stability in your life. I’m not spending my time playing therapist. It would be nice if you kept yourself in sufficient physical condition to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded, and if you spent a few seconds in front of a mirror in the morning as well I’d be ecstatic. Apart from that you can be whoever you want to be as long as you laugh at my jokes and smile when you look at me.

He manages to set himself apart by commenting on the way other guys tend to write profile texts; at first you think he’s serious, and he seems like a douche of epic proportions, then it quickly dawns on you that he’s being ironic. It’s a way of creating an emotional build-up, like I discuss in my book.

Other guys will usually exaggerate how much they earn; this guy does the opposite ? he plainly states that he doesn’t have much money. However, between the lines he’s communicating that he knows he’s an attractive guy, and that he’s used to getting girls without trying to impress them. He describes himself as difficult, and he starts off by telling girls to stop reading; he’s using the tried and true stay-away-from-me schtick, creating a barrier between him and the girl to make himself more exciting, as opposed to trying to persuade her to give him a chance like most guys would do.

Then he follows up with a little callback humor, returning to the running tights and using the old sounding word “don” to create a quirky effect that probably will make some girls smirk. He starts to describe what he’s looking for, and he uses a tone that makes him seem particular and specific; whereas the first guy basically said, “as long as you’re a girl, I’m interested” this guy seems to be more demanding. In reality, though, his demands aren’t all that excluding; it’s the way in which he makes them, the tone he uses, that give an assertive impression.

Nevertheless, this text is teetering on the edge with its heavy use of irony and comparatively harsh and negative words. Furthermore, there are some really good tricks that it doesn’t use; in my book, I discuss a lot of different techniques for writing captivating texts, and I also include an example highlighting an effective and seldom used strategy called “cracking the shell”.

Girls react differently to it; some find it obnoxious and offensive, others love it for its fresh and rebellious approach

In conclusion, this is a bad profile text, though in many ways it’s also fairly typical; most guys on dating sites will end up with something similar to this. Let’s look at the second example:
