Most of the following is elementary, but we would like to emphasis on this page how important a comprehensive profile can be. New contacts and friends are a very important part of ones life. Creating your profile and how you go about getting to know one another is of course largely based on what sort of relationship you are seeking. But spending a few extra moments to read a few tips might just help you find that senior hunk or admirer, and of course the enjoyment found from it.

We know one of the hardest part of creating your profile is describing
yourself to others. Caffmos Community.com gives you the freedom to define
& express yourself so you can put your best foot forward. Following
are some time tested nuggets that can assist you in creating a compelling
& attention grabbing profile.
Honesty is the Best Policy
As the saying goes, honesty is the best policy. Honesty is taken
seriously at CaffmosCommunity.com and it's the single most important
thing to remember when writing a great profile. It's much easier
to write about yourself if you are honest about who you are. It
prevents you from having to spin ways to best sell yourself or guess
at what you think other people want to read.
A major part of being honest is not misleading people down the road.
People will assume that what you write is true and you don't want
to set people up for a surprise later by stretching the truth in
your profile. For example, if you hate mountain climbing, don't
say you love it just to grab the eye of an outdoorsy type.
Give Some Thought Of What Sets You Apart.
How are you different? What gives you your unique character? If
your friends were describing you, what would be the three things
they would all say about you? These are good questions to ask yourself
as you get ready to write your profile.
Put Your Negativity Aside
Often times, people start their ad off with, Im sick of
!,
Im tired of
! or I hate
! etc. Its advisable not
to include this as the first thing that you want to express in your
profile ad. It just gives the impression of too many unhealthy relationships
in the past. Instead, try to be more positive & upbeat in your profile.
Soon enough you will notice a leap in the response rate.
Stay Open & Be Conversational.
Leave formality at the door and write your profile like you are
talking to a good friend. Of course, there are some things you might
tell a good friend that you probably don't want to include in your
profile. It's a good idea to avoid mentioning past relationships
and exes, or discoursing on being lonely or desperate. Be optimistic!
Show How, Don't Tell.
The best profiles show, don't tell, who you are at your best. If
you are known for being funny, try explaining how or why you are
funny - such as, "I've been known to show up to a party in a wig",
instead of "I have a good sense of humor." Paint a picture in their
minds of the kind of person you are.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The importance of this point cant be emphasized more. Your smile,
the background that you're photographed in, what you're wearing;
they all paint a picture of what you're truly like. And including
a recent photo will get you 800% the attention.
Updating Your Profile Often. Keep your profile fresh. Every now
and then, go back to your profile and update it to let people know
you're still out there.
Go Through Your Spelling & Grammar.
Check your profile for typos and spelling mistakes before you submit
it. Show that you spent time thinking about them while writing your
profile. Always proofread your ad & run it through a word processor,
such as Microsoft Word so that you can have your spelling & grammar
checked.
