Online Dating Profile Makeover: Before & After
LookBetterOnline can completely change the way you appear online. Out go clichés and dull phrases; in come excitement and originality. Just check out these "Before & After" samples to see what a profile rewrite can do for you.
Before
"Multifaceted Mediator
Seeks Smart Sensualist"
I'm relaxed and friendly with a great smile
and great sense of humor. I love just hanging
out with family and friends over a great meal
or going out to see the world and all it has
to offer. I love my work but also like to
just forget about it and escape into books,
movies, travel or just watching tv. I'm not
very athletic though always trying to do a
little bit more to stay fit...
After
"Multifaceted Mediator
Seeks Smart, Self-Assured Single"
Imagine Diane Keaton, but younger. More Annie
Hall than Erica Barry (but without the suit
and the hat). By training, I'm a psychologist
but right now I'm in the middle of a shift
into mediation. It's a fabulous field -- helping
people solve conflicts without bringing in
lawyers or throwing things at each other.
It means I'm taking classes again. But that's
fine; I love learning. I recently finished
a cookery course in Tuscany where Chef Luciano
taught me how to make home-made pasta without
speaking a word of English. I now make a mean
spaghetti and as a bonus, I know how to say,
"Is this enough salt?" using just
two hands, a wink and a couple of toes...
Before
"Come fly with me..."
About me. Where to start? I am an enigma,
wrapped in a riddle, smothered in secret sauce.
But seriously now. Kind, considerate and a
good listener. Sarcastic sense of humor (might
as well be honest up front, some people can
not handle it). What else to put - comfortable
going out to a pub or snuggling up with some
popcorn on the couch to watch a movie. Love
to travel, fly small planes and hike in the
mountains... but you can find that and more
out if you contact me :-)
After
"Foreign, funny flyer"
I'm an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, smothered
in a secret sauce. Well, not so secret. I'll
tell you: it's a mixture of sweet and spicy
- sweet enough to be kind and considerate,
but spicy enough to have a wickedly sarcastic
sense of humor. (It bites, so you'll need
to be able to bite back.) And I'm not really
so enigmatic. I'm originally from France but
I've been in the States for about three years
now.
I am a big traveler though. I've lived in
Scotland, Switzerland and Israel, and I've
stayed in a ton of different countries. I've
also traveled a bit in the US.... On weekends
I'll sometimes hop in a plane and fly off
somewhere. The other weekend I flew up to
Sunriver, Oregon for lunch - a great place:
beautiful mountains, golf courses, a perfect
spot for a quiet get-away...
Before
"Wannabe writer seeks
wannabe muse?"
I'm still relatively new to the Bay area but
so far am loving it... I love active outdoor
stuff such as hiking, camping and aimless
wandering....
After
"Charitable soul seeks
soul mate."
I'm still new to the Bay area but so far I
love it! Great parks, great jogging and plenty
of organic food and places to stroll - what
more could I want from the place where I live?
