Online Personal Ads - How to Talk to Women

I'm an Online Dating Coach, and many of the ads I see on the Internet are shocking! There are some (often written by guys looking for women) who write their ads like they're trying to sell used furniture in the classified section of their daily papers! The women's ads are often just as bad - often containing very little substantial information - or the ads just come across as demanding.

Here's one example. This ad was submitted by a woman in her early 40's -

professional who enjoys open conversation - 41

"I love to talk about books that have struck you bizarre or interesting. I do want someone to hang out with, and must enjoy talking about politics, books, places and wine. Must love chocolate!"

Talking about everything? For the sake of keeping the conversation going, some guys would no doubt go along with that one (or at least, they would try) but when it comes to "bizarre books," then her options might start slimming down a bit. It's always interesting to see how many women love chocolate. I understand there's something in chocolate that works like a stimulant in the brain. Can you imagine reading an Online Dating Ad that says, "the main thing is that you love coffee"? Do we have an addictive personality type here?

It's hard to imagine what sort of guy she'll attract with that ad!

Or check out this Internet Dating ad from a 29-year-old man who calls himself the Tattoo Teddy Bear:

tattoo teddy bear - 29

"i just want a good girl that knows how to treat a man with respect."

This online dating ad gets right to the point, doesn't it.

So is it any wonder that so many single men and women are just like "two ships passing in the night?"

One of the secrets to writing effective online personal ads is to write your ads just like you're having a real, live conversation with your reader.

In other words, here is a list of what to avoid:

1. Don't write your ad so it sounds like advertising copy from a magazine.

2. Don't "talk down" to your readers.

3. Do not - under any circumstances - submit a 10 or 15-word ad for Online Dating!

Here's what you SHOULD do:

1. Mention some of your hobbies, interests, and what you enjoy doing on a date. Try to paint an accurate yet imaginative picture of yourself as a real person (and an interesting person at that!)

2. Using colorful, imaginative language, and paint a picture of how she or he will feel when you're together on a date. Use examples, anticipate questions, and be upbeat and optimistic. Give your reader a sense of what being with you is like - and describe that in some detail when writing your dating ad.

3. Mention some of your best inner qualities to motivate your readers to respond to your ad!

4. Why should your reader respond to your ad right now? Here's the place to motivate them!

5. Don't forget to spell-check your ad before you submit it!

If you follow the guidelines I've suggested above, you'll be on your way to a very successful Internet Dating experience!
