How to Write a Catchy, Romantic Personal Ad

And Choose an Awesome Photo for Your Profile

by Ivan Drago

Many guys are wondering how to create a successful personals ad on the Internet. I am by no means an expert but I met my current girlfriend on Match.com and want to share my insight on the topic.

A successful Internet personals ad consists of two parts: text and photograph. Let's go over the first part — how to write a catchy, romantic personal.

It's really very simple — just get a woman to do it for you!

This applies to those of you who have either a female friend or an ex-girlfriend you keep in touch with or a close female relative such as a sister or a cousin.

Simply call/email her and ask her to write a personal ad for you. Keep a few things in mind. The woman you ask to write your personal ad must be:

  1. your age range
  2. dating/married
  3. a college graduate
  4. able to speak English

Be your own judge on which woman you should ask for help.

Women are creatures of emotion and are simply better at expressing their feelings. All those crappy romance novels for women? General written by women.

I can hear the skeptics now: what kind of a man are you if you need a woman to write your personal?

The smart kind!

If you are so sure that you're a better writer, why not ask her to write you a personal ad while you write your own personal ad as well and post them one after the other (one month each) and see which one gets more responses?

The Best Profile Photo for Attracting Women

The second part of a successful personal involves choosing the best photo to display to all the women who will be checking out your profile. So how do you choose the best picture out of all those pictures you took during the past few months?

Easy — get a woman to do it for you!

Again, some requirements apply. She must be:

  1. attractive
  2. dating/married
  3. realistic

Be your own judge on which woman you should ask for help.

If you have a collection of pictures on the Internet, just send her the link and ask her to choose the best picture. If not, just ask her to come over and give her a bunch of pictures you think are your best. After all, if women are going to be looking at your pictures, shouldn't your female helper know best which picture to show them?

It also wouldn't hurt if you ask two different women to choose your best pic and if they choose different pics, post one pic after another (one month each) and check the response level.

My point is, if you have either a female friend or an ex-girlfriend you keep in touch with or a close female relative such as a sister or a cousin, why not put her to use? If you have someone on the "inside", use them and use them often!

And I think you will be pleasantly surprised by her reaction. Most women I know love the chance to write romantic babble or critique photos.
