How To Write A Personal Profile For Matrimonial Sites?

On a matrimonial website, your personal profile is your first impression. In fact it is more than a first impression, it is the only impression that you will be able to set until the other person contacts you.

Imagine your perfect soul mate reading your personal profile – if it is a poorly written profile, however perfect you both are for each other, he/she is not going to contact you because he/she only knows you by the profile you have written.

Spend a couple of days or more if required and write a well thought out profile about yourself. Put some time, thought and effort into it.

Here are a few tips for writing that perfect personal profile:

1. Be sincere and honest. Don’t make the profile sound like sales talk.

2. Write like you talk. Use words that you would normally use. For example – many people use ‘I seek’ in the profile – now, that is not a phrase we normally use – instead use ‘I am looking for’.

3. Stay away from generic adjectives and focus more on proper nouns.

4. If your profile is a lengthy one, then make sure you have something interesting to say – don’t make it a long, boring essay.

5. Be positive and confident – but make sure not to sound arrogant.

6. Use correct grammar and no spelling mistakes.

7. Don’t share too much – share just enough to create an interest and curiosity.

8. If you love humor – go for it – but stay away from self-deprecating humor – don’t be sarcastic. Make sure the humor is tasteful.

9. Use your current picture in the personal profile – don’t make it a glamor shot – It should be representative of how you usually look.

10. Finally, read profiles of other people. See which ones tick and which ones don’t- and then analyze and find out why some work and some don’t.

Best,
