Just for fun, let's ruin everything.
Okay, maybe not everything, but just your dating profile. Maybe in the process of destroying it, we can rebuild it, and learn something in the process.
Here's an example:
1. My Status: "What do you think!?"
2. Housing: Mention that your condo was featured on the show "hoarders"
3. Hobbies: List all your favorite government conspiracy theories
4. Profile Picture: Use a mugshot, a picture of you crying, or some combination of the two
5. Vehicle: Late model minivan. Bonus points for Mom in the driver’s seat.
6. Employment: Insert same answer as #3
7. Describe your Style: Hospital gown.
8. Education: List bad breakups, using real names, from previous relationships in ALL CAPS.
9. Religion: World of Warcraft, or your game of choice.
10. About Me: Proclaim that you hate dancing and all people who do it.
Now it's time to rebuild things a bit.
If you haven't heard already, we interviewed some dating experts, and they all agreed that learning to dance can improve your dating profile. So let's put things back together with that in mind.
Let's imagine that this ficticious online dating character decided to take lessons at Arthur Murray. Here's what that same profile might look like.
1. Status: Available for a dance or two.
2. Housing: My second home is Arthur Murray.
3. Hobbies: Bettering myself, meeting people, exercise, and all while dancing whenever possible.
4. Profile Picture: (insert your favorite dance pic)
5. Vehicle: I Uber everywhere.
6. Employment: Let's just say I work hard so I can do what I love.
7. Describe Your Style: Constantly improving.
8. Education: (see answer to #7)
9. Religion: (see answer to #7)
10. About Me: I used to work so much that I was forgetting who I was without it. Stumbled on an ad for dance lessons, and now I've got a community of friends that I really get along with. I have friends outside of work, I'm pushing my comfort zone, and that's making me better at work and home.
