Best way to write dating profile for men

At first glance, he seems like a good guy.  He’s “fun,” “intelligent,” “caring,” and he values good conversation to boot. 

There are two serious problems with a self-description like this:

1) He doesn’t tell me why he’s different from other guys.
2) He doesn’t tell me what we have in common.

Millions of other guys’ profile also say, “I’m fun-loving,” and “my family and friends mean the world to me.”  Their profiles all blur together.  This guy says he’s “very different,” but he doesn’t show me how.

HERE'S HOW:  The best way to stand out is to give girls specific information about your personality and interests. 

This way, when you send a girl a message, she’ll be able to look at your profile, easily find common ground, and have a reason to message you back.  

When I read a guy’s profile and can see he’s also into rolling his own sushi, David Sedaris, and the Fitocracy community, I’m excited.  I want to talk to him about this stuff, since I’m into it, too. 

The key to showing how you’re different is to go deeper with your self-description. 

You can start with the general words that describe you – like how you’re “fun,” “a good guy,” and “active.”  But then think about the deeper meaning.  Ask yourself what/why/how?  WHAT do you do that makes you, personally, “a good guy?”  Maybe you volunteer at the local food pantry.  WHYdo you do it?

This guy does a great job showing HOW he’s “active”:
