CS Profiles.
After a few months on CS you have probably seen a few profiles. Some say too little, some tell you too much. Others are cute, some are sincere, and many look just too good to be true – and probably are.When creating an online profile, you want to show yourself off a bit but without sounding conceited. If you appear to be better than the best, no one will want to contact you. And if you claim that you can walk on water, no one will believe you.
You want to write a profile that is eye-catching and describes who you are.
Your profile is a CV for your next love affair; not your next job. Keep it simple and don’t tell your life story. Talk about your dreams and expectations from life. Don’t elaborate on what you have achieved; rather expand on about what you still plan to do.
Be positive and most of all, be honest. Anybody can claim to be a helicopter pilot but a silly lie like that can cost you the love of your life. Avoid clichés; everybody knows them, be original and use humor sparingly. You don’t want to be seen as a clown.
And most importantly, use a good picture. The picture is what makes people look further.
Don’t be afraid to fine tune your profile. It will keep it fresh and current. If you have stopped smoking or if you have changed your religion it is vital to indicate it in your profile, it may be important to others.

No wonder, that's why I'm still all alone?
Very good advice! You did an excellent job on this!
I believe alot of people dont read the whole profile anyway.
Thanks Cat.
Good blog...keep what you said in mind...maybe I will edit my profile...lol...
Believe what's on my profile
I'm rich, own a yacht, an Island, a corporation
and yes, I stepped on the Moon.
Maybe I too should practice whet I preach.
Thank you. I had this one sitting in the rack for a long time; not knowing how it will be received. I have been a bit tied up today and could not write a blog so I tried it.
Thank you for the advice man
Excellent blog
Yep, cool is the key to it.
Yep, Im quite a catch
It is true, many people don't read the profiles. They have other motives and are not one bit interested in you as a person. If they were really interested in the person they would read the profile very carefully before contacting the person.
If anybody has such a lack of interest in the detail of your profile think how attentive he/she will be in real life.
Yes do, and I should have a look at mine again too. The problem is that we never read our own profiles.
Mind you, why should I want to read my own profile? I don't want to date myself.
The same thing. We only have a different type of employer in mind.
With such wonderful specs I wish you were a woman. But then I guess the Q would have been too long.
I had one of those when I was younger; my Passion Wagon.
If someone is looking for someone special, they might take their time.
I've been taking my time since that meteor killed
all dinosaurs
Yes, our profile is a small window into our live. It should show enough to interest the others but not enough to bore them to death. There will be plenty of time for that later.
That saucer you have is of outdated design and everybody on CS has one of those. It is time to trade it in on a newer model.
Can I interest you in obtaining the latest Black Knight prototypes. They handle much easier and parks like a dream.
They are not interest if they don't read the profile. When I receive a PM, I look at the profile before I open the message and if the profile is not kosher, I delete it without reading.
Am I that old?...I guess I am
The dinosaurs are alive and well and living on the other side of the moon. The meteor merely displaced them when it struck. With the reduce gravity and a diet of Dutch cheese they are now much bigger than what they used to be.
It is not so bad. At my age I found that the only women interested in me are antique dealers, pawnshop owners or museum curators.
And I bet you they still try. They don't even read the profiles.
