Morning all, Lazy sunday watching TV for me.
Kscience - OD profile guidelines:
Avoid overused cliches: Don't talk about long walks on the beach, work hard/play hard, going out/staying in with DVD and wine. That describes 90% of the population. Talk a bit about you, then talk a bit about what you want in a bloke. 3 paragraphs tops, you don't have to fill in the whole box but give interesting guys some ice-breakers. First paragraph witty and amusing, second paragraph about you, third paragraph about what you're looking for in a bloke. That should do it.
Profile photos: One face shot, one full length. Personally I find pictures of women on horseback unappealing, and holiday photos are not good unless you look really good in them. I've seen enough pictures of people posing in front of the pyramids to last a lifetime. None with someone arm draped around you.
Be funny - a catchy amusing one-liner headline is a very good start. One of the most memorable I saw was 'the poets have been remarkably silent on the subject of cheese' - that still sticks in my head a year after seeing it.
Don't refer to 'players, liars, cheats' etc, it makes a person sound angry.
Good grammar and spelling, proper use of punctuation. Sounds nitpicky but bad grammar really puts me off. Avoid 'lol' and definitely 'lmao'
One thing you can do is to browse other women's profiles, if that's possible to do on the site you're using, and pick up a few hints.
Ineedsomehelp - have you tried googling the Film Star's photos? Photos that look too good to be true often are. You can use google, upload the photo and it will often find if it's a stock publicity pic of an actor. Several people on this thread have found that to be the case.
