I recently encouraged my newly divorced friend to hook up with Match.com. For once, someone listened to me & she came over to finalize her bio. It was most interesting to peruse her bio & tag line, as well as the bait & competition. I would have thought there would be way more women then men. However, for 2 pages of women, there were about 12 pages of men. Is that possible? Where are the girls???
Anyway, it was really hard to write a tag line & bio, so I thought it'd be a great exercise.
So, if you dare, if you were trying to hook up with M'Right, what would your true or fiction tag line be (10 words or less)? If you really want a dare, write a very interesting and creative FICTIONALIZED bio (100 words or less).

The one that most-caught-our-eyes was "I'm as fun as a bag of hammers."
I'm trying to think of my own tag line but it's not going so well. I'm telling you it's kind of hard... I mean, who would be attracted to:
Shrink with baggage and 2 kids looking for guy with a carry-on, kids okay.
Fortunately, Hub meets criteria and takes my baggage & our kids. (At least the drugs in my casseroles are working their magic).
I actually just put an ad in Match.com--under my middle name.
The problem is I'm not looking for true love at this point but to meet people to do things with, and a shocking amount of men here are looking for their soul mates
If love/soul mates happened that would be nice but....
I didn't put in that much thought to my tag line or profile as my heart wasn't in it
It feels strange to say that I wish men were looking for fun--don't mean sexual though again
I have been married and lived with two other men, but I also enjoy solitude and need girlfriend time
You brought up a lot of my issues in this post WK--I have an assignment to write about my disability for a large alt paper--and have to go places in my head that wouldn't make me great company for new people. Old friends, and that includes straight males--just enjoy them a lot--would understand. I'm actually easy--I just like to laugh and talk about meaningless things--but the work that goes into meeting somebody from an artificial setting is immense
Have been thinking about this a lot as I met two men in the past week in town who I had short but fun conversations with
I'm having a very difficult time with this assignment as I was given no direction on purpose, and it has to come first
Talk about baggage :)
Grouchy couch potato shoe addict seeks sole mate.
With a description like that, Tim's just lucky he's already snagged me.
And, by the way: I had a rather bizarre reverse experience on Eons, the social networking site for baby boomers. I specifically put on my profile that I was married and only looking for "networking." Yet, a few days ago, a man "I'm told I'm handsome," etc. asked if I'd like to see a nude photo of him.
Yep. That Tim had better mind his Ps and Qs. I got prospects.
Pia, when the timing is right, the tag line will appear. :-) It sounds like you just need time to settle in to your new place and meet people without having to be romantic. Good luck with your assignment - I hope you share when you write it - I'm sure it will be great as all your writing is!
Doreen, your line sounds as depressing as mine! It is a good thing that we're not out there promoting ourselves romantically. But then again, to get an offer of nudity, you are a hot commodity!
A fictional character of mine placed a personal ad that read, "Ugly man with low self-esteem and negligible income seeks beautiful, wealthy woman for romance, etc."
One of several sincere responses he received came from a lovely young lady, heiress to a ball bearing factory, who became his wife.
Honesty is always the best policy (unless you're being asked to help move a piano).
Mommy quite good at spanking looking for some extra fun.
Geez, this is hard!!!
:-)
The ration is quite surprising!
I'm not really sure I'm a "hot commodity" since after all, I never did see his nude photo.
(And, I think he was responding to the "nudist RV park" video on my webiste, although if he actually watched it, he'd see there was no nudity involved.)
The whole thing just made me appreciate my husband even more.
Stephen, you are a romantic at heart! Honesty does tend to be the best policy, although there are many faces of truth.
Chris, Good one! There would be a lot of response there I'm sure. :-)
Doreen, indeed!
How about, "Hideously ugly psychokiller seeks soulmate to go for long walks under the moonlight, romantic dinners, and then die"?
Or, I'd go directly to Doreen's naked man, and bypass the whole process.
Robin -
I forwarded him your email. Let me know what I missed.
Thanks, Doreen! I hope he's cute. But who's this Robin person you keep referring to?
Robin, you would probably get a lot of response to that. It's powerful in a sick sick way.
