Crossing the Threshold... Preparing your Profile
The first step is straightforward - to complete the sign up process on Loversplanet.com and create a profile. A few tips on this before we go any further: you are presenting yourself to potential life partners. Just as you wouldn?t turn up for a first date, particularly a blind date, scruffy and disheveled ? if you could possibly help it ? so too you do not want to present yourself as a scruffy and disheveled individual by writing a personal statement and describing yourself otherwise in bland language and child-like lists of phrases. You ought to try to be as thorough as you can in the way that you use language to describe yourself. It?s a good idea to use simplistic language, toning down your writing so those who don?t speak much English might have a chance, even though your entire profile, except for your personal statement, is automatically translated into Russian and is then accessible both in Russian and English. Your profile is like a good business card; it makes that very crucial initial introduction.
Success of your profile: Why you must post a photograph
Just as graphic are essential to a good brochure presenting a business, a photograph is an absolute must for your profile. You should upload a photograph of yourself, ideally in a casual setting, looking relaxed; looking yourself. The photograph is one of the key elements. Profiles without photographs cannot be browsed and therefore will never be looked at.
