Online Dating Site Profiles: Five Phrases Ladies Should Using

In this time and age when we have become overly busy, spend more time on the internet then outside in the real world and are in general looking for quick fixes to just about anything, online dating has become the new hot graze. Men and women from ages 18 to 79 are looking for love on the cyber dating boards.
When you sign up with any of the online dating sites you are requested to write a profile introducing yourself to other hopefuls. This is a rather difficult endeavor to say the least. This article is for you ladies, if you are thinking about or are already utilizing such a service, please avoid using the following five phrases in your Profile.

"I am as comfortable in Sweats as I am in a Cocktail dress!"
Sure, all you are trying to say is that you are versatile. Being comfortable wearing something doesn't make you suitable for it. To see if you are as comfortable (or at home) in both situations is something your Partner will have to decide. You may be comfortable, but are you suitable. This statement for some reason seems to rub a lot of the gents wrong. A better way of making this statement would be: "I enjoy myself in casual situations as well as on formal occasions." Not only does this sound more professional and classy, but it also puts the point across that you indeed would be suitable for a finer establishment.

"I am a Princess looking for my Knight in shining Armor."
You are looking for Prince Charming you are a Queen who knows her value, right? What you sound like is a mentally young girl that still believes in fairy tales as well as a spoiled female. Most guys aren't looking for a Princess. They don't have the desire to be a Knight in shining Armor, and those that do will be moving along as soon as the Damsel in Distress is rescued. Another thing is that this statement makes you sound desperate. Are you a spoiled Damsel in distress that is in need of rescuing?

"You must love dogs, cats and/or kids"
The statement "you must" is a direct order. If this is a requirement of yours, then you need to phrase it as such. A better way of stating this requirement without telling someone you don't even know yet, what they must do would be: "I am only interested in those that can share my love for ..." If you have pets or kids, it is very important to say that ahead of time. Never waste your own time or someone else's, forgetting to mention this fact could easily be a deal breaker. In this case a nice way of getting your point across would be: "I have xyz, which means that I am only looking for someone that loves xyz."

"I want to meet a man, who can proof to me that there are still good guys out there."
This smacks of desperation and tells any guy that reads this that you have had horrible experiences in the past and probably have some extreme mental baggage. This also telegraphs that you have a bad taste in men. For all other practical purposes you are making yourself an easy target for a con artist and user. Those guys are trained to spot a sheep mile away and before you know what hit you, you are once again in a bad relationship until you are left broken hearted and possibly worst on the side of the road for the next jerk.

"I try everything ones!"
Great statement, but way to general and insincere. If you wish to show that you are a fun loving gal, you need to specify what you are willing to try. Here you just agreed to some things you may want nothing to do with. Perhaps a better and safer statement would be: "I have an adventurous and open spirit that enjoys trying new things like..."

You need to remember as you write your profile that not only good guys and gals are on these sites, but many predators are there waiting to bounce. Most of the time, we don't tell the full truth in fear that nobody would really want us if we were truthful. Also remember, that most dating sites do not check their clients' statements. More often then not, married persons, predators and other undesirables lurk on these sites. True.com, to my understanding seems to be the only one that does any kind of background checks.

Please remember too that you are not supposed to put pictures of your children on these types of sites. This is a good and safe practice and will help to keep your kids a bit safer.
