This poor lass wrote to Miss Information
in despair:
My dating profile has been active for
years. Literally. Guys will hotlist me and look at my profile over and over,
but they rarely reply to my emails. Any tips?
Not only
did Miss Info give her some great advice (“Stop bringing up your family. You answer eleven questions. Grandma & co. show up four
times. Unless I have an incest fetish, I don't want to be thinking about your
kinfolk when I'm taking the first steps toward doing the dirty.”)…and the readers
opened the floodgates, as well. Yes, “good
personal hygiene” should be expected, TM!
If you’ve
ever needed help crafting that personal, check out Miss Info’s “Unf*ckable Five” — the five
dealbreaker terms that people use in online personals.
Or, if
you’ve read a helluva lot of unf*uckable online profiles…help this chick out.
Check out the Feedback
here, and post
your own wisdom, too. My personal pet peeve? I know we’re all human, but
dudes and ladies: check your spelling. A misspelled
word can be the difference between a hot librarian checking out your books, and
a hot librarian checking you out.
