Social Networking Discussed

By Sandra James

When it comes to your own online profile, you will have to know the basic rules. Make sure you can complete an interesting profile, because it will act like your business card for dates.

Rule 1: Never Lie!

No, don't run away, I will not start telling you about bible teachings. Nevertheless, lying is a very bad thing to do on online community websites. If you put a nice but untrue picture on your profile you might register success at first. But try to think about the outcome of your lie. No relationship should start with lie, even if they are small ones.

Rule 2: Identify what sets you apart from others.

All humans are beautiful in a way, all are unique in a certain manner and all are wonderful. We all have indubitable qualities but also nasty defects we have to keep under control.

Describe yourself with all possible details you can thing of. Don't give away any personal data, but offer information about you qualities, your hobbies, your ideas and so on. We all are nasty secret diggers and like to take a peek into someone's life. And because of this, a profile that's filled with various small or big "secrets" will surely become popular. You might even get contacted by someone that likes the way you hate a movie or who is also interesting in finding ovation for sale or likes the same luxurious cars.

Rule 3: Don't write as you never went to school!

I know the Internet allows us to use all sorts of abbreviations that surprisingly are no longer considered grammar mistakes if used online. Some young people think mixed words like "4fun" are efficient, but they don't say too many good things about the one who writes them. SMS chatting, online abbreviations and other strange language alterations should not be used in your descriptions. You never know who you might be coming across and the way you write is your first fingerprint when online. A mistake-free page shows it belongs to an intelligent person. Hilarious pages are too much, you need to make your page just a bit funny.

Rule 4: Post REAL but GOOD pictures.

We don't have to be really beautiful or experienced to make some nice pictures. Unfortunately most people guide themselves on first impression and looks when choosing a potential date. This fact makes the use of good and inspirited photos a must. Make sure you are visible in the photo and better choose some prime plans.
