Create an Attention Getting Headline

What draws the eye of potential suitors online? The headline.It is important for you to learn how to create a headline that will not only be eye-catching, but interest potential prospects.

Personal headlines on most sites can be of 100 characters. A poor headline can negate a good username. It is the headline that gives a first impression. A personal headline should not indicate that you are a bore, selfish, a fool, or scatterbrain. If the headline is repulsive or boring, rest assured, you will not get many queries.

A personal headline often determines the kind of person you want to meet. If you are seeking a serious relationship then your headline must not indicate “seeking fun and frolic.”

Avoid done to death phrases as well as cute ones. Adventurous, unique, and wonderful are all cliché.

The secret is to incorporate a little about yourself or to be creative and clever. Commonly coined ones are:

• “I am a Lady.”
• “Ask me if you can.”
• “Life can be a path of roses.”
• “Poet.”
• “Sailing Smooth.”
• “Polite, serious, and creative.”

The headline is the most important tool of an online profile—pay attention to coining it.

• Let it lead men into your profile. It should tease and intrigue.
• Avoid negativity ---refrain from using words like “no.”
• Incorporate word play—be creative and quick.
• Snappy headlines attract attention.

A headline should grab attention—it should be succinct and dead on—summing up what you are about. It should invite –tweak their curiosity to read your profile. Use word play—internal rhyme or a pun.

Examples:

“Let’s race the wind!”

“Looking for sparing partner!”

“Package deal—me, kids, pets!”

“Geek by day, poet by night!”

“Explore the world with me!”

“Walk to the beat of a new drummer!”

“Want to play doubles!”

“First date in a dozen years!”

“Think Advertising…”

Remember how the catchy phrases create imagery. The concept is similar here you are the product to be marketed. Just as “rich and creamy” conjures up images of swirls of ice cream, so also the headline should bring forth an image of an attractive, friendly woman.

As far as dating sites are concerned the most prominent things after the “photo” is the headline. Studies indicate men have a tendency to make snap judgments, so the headline should project a positive image of you.

Negativity must be avoided, never include words like lonely, companion, seeking comfort, rich and handsome. Avoidable are impressions of your being glamorous, seeking a life of leisure, or being high maintenance.

Originality, candidness, humour, and freshness are welcome. The secret is in being attractive as well as mysterious. Men love challenges.
