Marketing Makeover

I spent some time this afternoon revamping my profile on one of the dating sites. Attention-getting, and keeping, is the name of the game, so I tried a quick-hit, top-ten approach.

Thoughts?

I am quite simply a kind, intelligent, emotionally generous woman who wants a serious, long-term relationship and is looking for a similar man. 

Top Things I’m Looking for in a Man:

1. Loves to laugh

2. Equally comfortable during a night out with friends and family as staying in

3. A passion for travel (current passport is a bonus)

4. Willing to try my new recipes from the kitchen – picky eaters discouraged

5. Ability to pitch in around the house without being asked

6. Tolerable of sappy movies/ chick flicks on occasion – willing to trade for your selections as required

7. Lover of sports, particularly college football, NFL, and MLB – bonus points for fans of the AFC North and NL Central (Go Steelers and Bucs!)

8. Must love cats or at least being willing to accept mine

9. Wants to be in a loving, committed relationship and is comfortable with physical affection

10. No cheaters, players, losers, or deadbeats will be allowed. I’m worth more than that.

What You Should Expect from Me:

1. Smart conversation with sides of playfulness, sarcasm, emotion, or sass as the occasion allows.

2. Knowledge that I will always be telling the truth – I’m a terrible liar so I just don’t

3. Fiercely loyal to those who have given me love and friendship

4. A great cook – you’ll never go hungry 

5. Piles of books – they’re my addiction, and I’m always reading something

6. Someone who is equally comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt and a fancy dress with heels

7. A work in progress when it comes to keeping clutter from getting out of hand 

8. Financially independent – I’m not looking for a savior or a sugar daddy

9. Good with kids but not set on having children of my own; willing to explore what else life might have to offer

10. The kind of woman that your mom wanted you to have and you’ll only smile about when I come up in conversation with friends.

Ten things don’t really say it all, but they’re enough to get us started, don’t you think?
