I am constantly asked by guys to look over their online profile and give them pointers to improve it. Every guy’s profile I have ever seen by request has needed a lot of serious work. I am not saying that there is one particular right way to set up your profile. It is YOUR PROFILE it should be about you. The way you portray yourself however, makes a lot of difference. If you turned in a resume to a company that was written in crayon on torn shreds of paper, you are not going to get hired.
In an online profile it is not necessarily what information you should present since you know who you are. It is how you display this information that is important. This display may range in the layout of your profile, your word choice, your applications, your profile music selection, the groups you join, or various other mediums.
Know Your Profile’s Role
The best overall guideline for setting up your profile is not to just make a random collage of yourself but rather to make your online profile with your goals in mind. If you want to use your facebook or myspace profile for business purposes, then by all means you should set up and fill in your information to better suit this purpose.
If you are setting up your profile to help with your social networking and in particular dating, however, then you need to set it up with certain dating goals in mind.
The First Thing You Have To Remember: Your Profile Is A Tool
I love it when I meet a new woman and she says she has myspace or facebook. Why you ask? My profiles work for me. They are like tools that add extra leverage in my dating life. Not only am I ok with them going to my online profiles I will encourage it because I have already set up my profiles to highlight the attractive qualities about myself.
Would you be more attracted to a girl that is having a bad hair day with no make up and some outfit she threw together at the last minute or one that has put on her best looking clothes, and fixed herself up to perfection? Your profile is your chance to display the very best of you at all times 24/7 and best of all without you having to physically be there.
Basic Tips:
Have good profile pictures. You don’t have to delete every picture you don’t look great in but you should probably get rid of the worst ones. I don’t care how funny that picture of you drunk hugging a trash can in your boxers is, it is not going to help you with anything.
Keep up to date with events. Especially on facebook, keep up to date and RSVP to local events. Let people know you are social and meet people going to the same events. If nothing else just know what is going on around where you live just so you are in the loop.
Show off your best qualities! If you are funny make some of your profile humorous. Artistic? Add the graffiti facebook application. Nerdy? Add the Jedi vs. Sith Application, Intellectual? Have some awesome quotes or favorite books.
Invite a following. Update your status pretty often, post a bulletin or two, change your profile picture, post on other walls on occasion, tell others about the events you are going to, share cool stuff on your profile. In other words give people an excuse to comment on and stay involved with your profile. I started a group on facebook when I lost my cell phone to get numbers from all my friends. The group description literally said that everyone should not join the group or leave immediately after they joined. The group was started about a year ago and there is currently about 80 members still in it. Not because it is an actual group of worth but because I have established a loyal following.
Leverage your connections. Facebook is all about connections. It is in fact a place for you to connect and maintain connections with others. Most people on facebook talk with their friends but very few actually use their friends as leverage to make other friends. If you see a cute girl, see which friends you have in common, if a friend posts a photo album with an attractive lady in it send her a message and say that you were looking through your friends photos and her picture was funny or whatever. You can meet a ton of girls just by leveraging the connections you already have without any involvement whatsoever on your friend’s part.
Well this is running a bit long and I could go on for quite a while… The bottom line is determine how you want your online profile to help you and build it around that purpose.
