To make your profile more effective, you must sell yourself and explain why people should consider dating you instead of someone else. You may be intelligent, attractive, successful, and friendly, but millions of others possess those attributes, too. So why should you be the one? Now is not the time to be modest. If there is something about you that enhances your desirability and makes you stand out, say it!

You can broach this topic by choosing one of these introductions, or write your own:

Now sell yourself! When you finish, you should have given at least one compelling reason why you are uniquely desirable. Enter your text into the box below:
