How To Write An Ad For Internet Dating
January 31st, 2010
You are intelligent enough to know that great online dating personals are critical to your success in attracting the right people. Online dating personals are your chance to make an extraordinary first impression, and you get only one chance. The way you write your online dating personals will make a huge difference in the number of responses you get – and the quality of each.
Basically You
To write an ad for Internet dating that attracts the most suitable singles, you will want to decide what you can honestly say about you.
- physical appearance
- clothing style
- interests
- career (without company name)
Basically Them
Your online dating personals should include information about the type of person you are seeking.
- body build
- temperament or personality
- lifestyle choices
- considerations: children, pets, etc.
Accentuate the Positive
Emphasize everything about you that is positive. If you are well-mannered, romantic, intellectual, energetic, etc., include it in online dating personals.
Eliminate the Negative
Refrain from writing negative comments. They will be a turn-off. If you are recovering from a bad relationship, don’t put it in online dating personals.
Now Let’s Write an Ad for Internet Dating
Five ingredients of successful online dating personals are:
1) positive, honest description of you
2) positive description of who you want
3) sincere invitation to contact
4) several honest photos
5) intriguing screen name
Honest Description of You
The best online dating personals are honest, brief, fun, engaging, and sincere. Tell what people like about you. Steer clear of cynical comments. Expand your audience by sticking to non-gender-specific interests. Men, hold back on sports and truck references. Women, keep quiet about shopping and candlelight.
Description of Who You Want
Ask clearly for what you want. Ask for honesty and kindness. Request a chance to get acquainted. Ask for a good match to your own bio. Skip the fantasy and the negative. Don’t write who you DON’T want, but who you DO want. Good online dating personals target one audience rather than trying to reach everyone.
Invitation
Online dating personals end by teasing people to contact you, saying they will be glad they did.
Honest Photos
Glamour photos have no place in online dating personals. A picture is worth a thousand words, and every word should be honest. Have a friend snap 5-10 photos with different angles and settings. Have a friend of the opposite sex choose the best 3 or 4 to post. The winners will be:
- clean background
- shoulders and head of you alone
- hair and/or makeup neat
- dress-casual clothing in complimentary colors
- lively eyes and smile
- no sunglasses or tinted lenses
Screen Name
Online dating personals allow you to place a short headline above or below your photo. This should be intriguing and captivating. It’s worth some effort. Avoid generic names like sam067 or chicago291. Be creative and brief. Highlight a part of who you are: DolphinLover, JazzMan, or LatteJunkie.
Sample Online Dating Personals
Here’s an example of online dating personals for women:
I am an outdoors woman, slim and trim, with brown hair and blue eyes.
I’d take a mountain bike over a stretch limo any day. Take me to a small coffee shop, but not to New York City’s 21 Club. I love reading mysteries to classic rock, lying on the floor in old jeans and a flannel shirt. Male friends have told me I’m “fun to be with” and “honey without stickiness”. More importantly, close friends say I’m someone they can trust to do the right thing.
An honest gentleman with manners, a kind heart, and a love of the outdoors may find me to be “the one” you’re waiting for.
If you’re willing to get acquainted, please contact me right away. You’ll be glad you did!
Here’s an example of online dating personals for man:
Picture me as a medium build, brown eyed, intriguing artisan who knows the meanings of both Monet and mogul. I’m usually dressed in earth-tone, organic clothing.
Weekdays, you can find me in my downtown studio, but evenings, I invite friends in for jazz music, organic wine, and meaningful conversation. If you and I meet on a weekend, I’ll suggest the slopes or trails. Women call me a “gentleman” and “knight”, and comment on the gallant way I look out for them. (Their words, not mine!)
I’m looking for a quiet woman who is able to sincerely discuss deep issues, is honest, and loves a “natural” lifestyle.
If I don’t contact you first, please drop a note right away. You’ll want to find out why women call me a “gallant knight”.
Your Prize
When online dating personals are well-written and target the right audiences, you will find it easier to win the prize.
In the United States, 1 of every 8 couples married in 2006 met online!
You may be next.

What is the best coffee in the world…Blue Mountain, Kona or Columbian?
January 31st, 2010
I have consumed quite a bit of Blue Mountain, Kona & Columbian coffee. I’m partial to Blue Mountain, but only visit Jamaica once per year. I normally buy Columbian Supremo by Millstone, which is the best Columbian I have found. It’s not easy to find good Kona coffee that’s not a blend.
The World’s Most Expensive Coffee is From Beans Cycled Through an Indonesian Monkey’s Digestive System.
Is it necessarily the best coffee in the world… some tend to believe it is, and they pay $160 a pound!
Kopi Luwak is a rare and gourmet coffee from Indonesia that is made from beans passed through the digestive system of monkeys.
Kopi Luwak does exist, is very expensive, and is made from coffee beans passed through the digestive system of an Indonesian animal, but it’s more like a cat than a monkey. According to a feature article by the Manila Coffee House, which sells the stuff, the people who harvest the digested beans don’t really have to pick through cat litter to get it. The animal processes the beans and excretes them whole, unscratched, and without dung.
The animal is a palm civet, a dark brown tree-dwelling cat-like creature found throughout Southeast Asia. The scientific name is paradoxurus hermaphroditus.
According to the Manila Coffee House, the palm civet just happens to like to ingest the ripest and reddest coffee beans, which also happen to be the ones best for brewing. The cat eats the outer covering of the beans in the same way that is accomplished by de-pulping machines. Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat’s intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers.
At this point, most of the beans are purchased by Japanese buyers.
If you REALLY want to try a GREAT tasting blend of coffee without paying an arm and a leg, get a can (about 2/3 of the can is red, botton 1/3 yellow, with black letters on the top side) of CAFE BUSTELO, a dark roasted coffee. Want fairly mild but good tasting black coffee, heat water, add coffee (one heaping tablespoon per regular cup of coffee) just as it start to bubble and turn it off as soon as it starts to rise. Strain and serve. Use sugar or artificial sweetner. For a change in taste, add a drop or two of vanilla extract, or a dash of cinnamon powder, or Disoronno Amaretto! (Keep the lid on the can at all times and keep refrigerated). You will think it is the best coffee in the world; great for Spanish cafe con leche (cafe au lait or latte) or capuccino or even expresso!
