First Impressions Count, don't you agree?


You only get one chance to make a first impression. Use your spell checker, especially if one is available for you to use. Typos happen, yet multiple errors speak for themselves.

Good grammer is important, it is easier to read and understand the content.

Profiles are your first introduction to someone you never met before, spend time and make it count.

We found these quick tips online, thought we would share.

· Proof read your profile—Grammatically incorrect profiles sprinkled with misspelled words suggest a sloppy, second-bestapproach to dating and life.·
Have a little fun—Playful, fun-loving people who know how to have a good time are attractive. Tell a story, poke a little fun at yourself, make the reader smile or laugh and they’re likely to want to know more about you.·
Stay positive—Although we all have occasional struggles in our lives, our online profiles are not places to purge ourselves of all that troubles, irritates, frustratesor annoys us. Griping, whining and complaining are never sexy.·
Maintain a little mystery—Your goal is to leave the reader wanting a little more, which is an incentive to send you an email, ask questions, offer observations and make a connection. Don’t drill down into every life detail inyour profile. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, even when that good thing is you!·
Post several photos, and the outside matters too. Profiles with photos get a lot more attention. Be sure to smile.
