Dating sites typically do not cover how to write winning dating personals. We do.
Please read our Membership Guidelines before completing your profile. For a successful profile, keep the following tips in mind:
Both you and your potential soul mate have the advantage to read and learn about each
other
before
meeting. Define your character and personality in detail. Meticulously select every
word. Do
not use
phrases such as, "I am a nice guy," "I am handsome/beautiful" (is anyone ugly?), or "I
have
material
possessions" (who are you trying to impress?).
Remember, the truth will eventually come out. Our site does not have a lie detection
search
engine
to check every profile. However, we expect that as a new Single-member, you are
presenting
the truth
about yourself.

Writing about yourself
Tell the truth in your profile
In questions such as:
- "What is your marital status?"
- "Do you attend church regularly?"
- "Do you read the Bible regularly?"
- "Do you drink/smoke?"
- "Your height and weight?"

Comments about yourself and your soul mate
Tell the other members about "the real you." Do not write about your past bad experiences, your failures in
life, or your wants and needs. Remember to stay positive. When describing your perfect soul mate, state the
characteristics very clearly. Be honest about what qualities you will not tolerate and which are "A Must" in
your soul mate. Tune in and listen to your heart and spirit and write from your heart.
How important is your picture
Your photo is perhaps the most vital element of your profile. Experts have a couple of strict
rules.
For
men:
"It does not matter how well-built you are; keep your shirt on." For women: "No bikini shots." We
will
reject
revealing photos, and if you get a lot of emails, they will likely be from the guys you don't want
to
meet.
Avoid wearing sunglasses and hats, which can make it look as if you've got something to hide. Dark,
brooding
shots usually aren't a positive way to go either. "SMILE," People try the serious shot because they
want
to
seem
professional, but you want to look like someone people would want to spend time with. People like
happy
people."
Do not post-bar shots with drinks in your hands, or multiple shots of yourself wearing the same
clothes.
Be
careful about cropping out other people from your picture. For example, your ex's disembodied hand
hanging
around your shoulder does not send the right message. "It's a lot like going to a video store,
people
walk
through the aisle, and when they see a cover that looks interesting, they flip it over and read the
back. In
our
site, the photos are the cove,r and the profiles are the back. Would you like to be noticed? Having
a
picture in
your profile will make a big difference. Members usually skip profiles without photos. Posting a
picture
in
your
profile is not to show others how beautiful you are, it is merely to connect to other members. We
discourage
our
members from judging by the picture and encourage them to pay more attention to the profile instead.

How vital is the distance from your soul mate
Some members are under the impression that they should meet someone in their local area only, maybe
even in
their backyard. They go as far as posting in their profile that "in no way they would relocate." We
believe
that
limiting yourself and taking control of your future and leaving God out would be a prescription for
disaster. We
recommend having an open mind. Let go of control and let God set the parameters and limitations.
Have patience along with Faith; and again, Wait Upon Our Lord:
Once you apply, let God connect your spirit with the spirit of your soul mate. As you start communicating
with
members, pray before sending and answering emails. Do not judge members by race, ethnicity, or picture. Let
your
heart and spirit lead your mind, not the other way around. Do not take more than one or two days to answer
the
emails. Our policy is that all emails should be answered within three days from the date of receipt. Do not
give
your personal information, such as your email address, home phone, or home address. Answering emails through
the
site (and not your personal email) will keep your identity confidential. (Please note that we at Singles
Commitments Corp. are not liable for other member's actions).
