How to Write an Intriguing Personal Ad Profile Description
The key to finding success on My-Matrimony is to make sure that
your personal ad is unique, compelling and serious. By reading these questions and
statements, you'll think of funny, interesting things to write in your ad. Need
tips for your photo?
The Fundamentals
- Read our Guidelines.
Do this before you post an ad so you can be sure that your ad will get posted
on the site. All personal ads are subject to rejection or removal if they do
not meet our guidelines.
- Write a catchy headline. Make it memorable but don't be boastful.
- Post a photo. Want more responses? The easiest way to get noticed is to post a photo
on your personal ad. Try to find a picture that shows how you normally look
(because that's the person we want to meet!). Read our tips for choosing a photo.
- Describe yourself and the person you're seeking. What makes you unique?
People are more likely to respond to your ad if they are attracted by
something you've told them about you. Focus on the positives.
- Show -- don't tell. Instead of saying "I like music, movies and
restaurants," offer specific examples.
- Be creative. Have fun with your ad! That way people will know they can have
fun with you. Make your ad stand out by describing your most intriguing
feature or your most memorable experience.
- Keep it brief. No one wants to read your life story. Write enough to catch
someone's attention. You can share the more personal details later.
- Don't lie! Honesty can prevent disappointment for both you and your
potential date. Just remember, you could end up meeting someone who reads your
ad, so don't say you're 6'1" if you're really 5'4".
- Double-check your spelling and grammar. People are more likely to take your
ad seriously if you've put some thought into it. Use proper punctuation and
capitalization. ADS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS LOOK LIKE SHOUTING. ads written in all
lowercase with no punctuation even commas are hard for readers to understand
dont you agree
