On internet dating sites I wonder if anybody really finds anyone. The One. That maybe not perfect person, but someone interesting enough, brave enough, smart enough to take on the world with.
I have recently foraged into just such society, that of the internet dater. While most people have their lives together and can find love on their own there are a few people that need all the help they can get and what was I was doing there this fine winter day? Wondering what all these people do here. Some just wanted an easy way to "get some," while others were more serious about thier game. They wanted a partner. A Tonto to thier John Wayne, a buddy, someone to go through life with. But can I really take people who don't take the time to meet someone through normal means seriously? My name was sweetmayexplorer, and mostly I was there to do research for a writing project, but what I found was more than meets the eye.
Several candidates e-mailed me on singlesnet.com or said that my profile "caught their eye." Most of them weren't exactly serious relationship material for me. On match.com there was more luck. Several cute or interesting profiles of people who were just busy, so put that part of their life up to the internet to connect with people. And yes, I have put in for a job offer to write profiles for people like this. They said it paid 18-30$ a profile so I was encouraged to send in some profile's that I had honed down to perfection. Or so I'd like to think.
So my destiny in my own hand and several dating sites later, I may have a job, not to mention a date. *wink*

That's pretty cool. I always wondered how people are able to write such entertaining profiles on websites like that. How exactly do you write a profile for someone else? Do they send you a list of their hobbies, interests and a history of their life or do you just try and write something funny and witty?
I think so... I haven't actually started yet. The important thing about writing profiles is that you want to keep it light and bubbly, like a soffle. Something that keeps the reader coming back for more. Which is the taste or flavor of the person which you must capture in your profile writing.
