Creating an Image: Showing vs. Telling

Many guys (and girls) tend to write their profile in a way that is similar to making up a grocery list. Basically, they think of their best attributes, hobbies, likes, dislikes, what they want in a person, what they don’t want, and just write it all down in a very simple order. It usually looks something like this:


Hi, I am Mark. I am just another average 24 year old guy. I have an athletic build, and I consider myself nice, caring, intelligent, funny, and honest. I like going to the movies, listening to music, hanging out with friends, partying, working out and painting. I like long walks on the beach and in the park, but hate going out to the bar scene anymore. I want a girl that is good looking, nice, fun, smart, sweet, and sexy. I don’t like bigger girls or gold diggers though. If you are interested, then feel free to email me.


Now, I will concede to the fact that most people write their profiles like the one above. However, the # 1 SECRET to online dating is to be creative and stand out away from what everybody else does. One of the ways you can be creative and different in a way the builds ATTRACTION is to create images while writing.
Instead of saying: “I am athletic and enjoy working out” say: “My competitive athletic nature compels me to go into ‘Race mode’ every time I lock eye contact with the person next to me. My motto is: ‘Whoever faints, falls, and smashes their face into the burning rubber tread loses. Ready, set, BURN!’”

See the difference? One of them tells you while the other one SHOWS you. The second example creates an image and comes off as much more interesting than then one that just tells. Adding humor makes it even more effective because that adds arguably the most attractive quality INTO the picture that you are painting.
In conclusion, think of your profile as a picture that you are painting or a story that you are writing. You want to include imagery to GRAB the reader, HOOK them into your world, and keep them ATTRACTED.
