You can be the catch of the century, but if your online ad posting is poorly written, no one will contact you. Follow these steps to write an eye-catching, date-grabbing profile.

Here"s How:
1.   Be honest about your age.
List your actual age; there"s no need to be defensive or dishonest.

3.   Describe yourself accurately.
Answer questions honestly about your height, weight, race, religion, etc. Be accurate, not deceptive. Accurate: "I"m six feet, 180 pounds, with short brown hair and glasses." Deceptive: "I"m an intellectual Adonis."

5.   Be brief and clear.
" d1 _6 c" u; w3 g' A' e, WFormat your posting so it"s easy to read. In other words, make your sentences and paragraphs brief. Also, don"t stuff your postings with words; that"s a turn off. Make sure you leave plenty of white space.

7 z0 {2 {  R* R/ I/ x" rBe clear about why you"re posting. If the person reading your requirements doesn"t fit them, they shouldn"t waste their time reading further.

$ V% C6 |- E9 X  Y. ?/ ?& }- {Explain what makes you who you are. Use adjectives and add detail, i.e., "I"m a playful 32 year old architect who likes to relax by reading mystery novels."

8 z1 I; H1 S# `5 i5 bShare what you like best in a partner. Don"t be negative or cruel. Instead, say what you want, i.e., "A guy who knows the difference between Monet and Manet, yet can also clean-and-press a 150 pound barbell."

* B, P" v  t' YWhen you respond to others" posts, show them that you actually read what they wrote, and aren"t just turned on by their picture or physical description.
