Online Ad Posting

(来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

You can be the catch of the century, but if your online ad posting is poorly written, no one will contact you. Follow these steps to write an eye-catching, date-grabbing profile.
Difficulty: Easy

Here"s How:
1.   Be honest about your age.
List your actual age; there"s no need to be defensive or dishonest.

2.   Use a realistic photograph.
Submit a quality, current photograph of yourself, but nothing that wildly misrepresents your actual appearance.

3.   Describe yourself accurately.
Answer questions honestly about your height, weight, race, religion, etc. Be accurate, not deceptive. Accurate: "I"m six feet, 180 pounds, with short brown hair and glasses." Deceptive: "I"m an intellectual Adonis."

4.   Come across optimistic.
Write in an upbeat style. Similarly, don"t apologize for posting. Be positive and assertive.

5.   Be brief and clear.
Format your posting so it"s easy to read. In other words, make your sentences and paragraphs brief. Also, don"t stuff your postings with words; that"s a turn off. Make sure you leave plenty of white space.

6.   Avoid spelling mistakes.
Spell-check your posting. (来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

Tips:
Be clear about why you"re posting. If the person reading your requirements doesn"t fit them, they shouldn"t waste their time reading further. (来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)

Explain what makes you who you are. Use adjectives and add detail, i.e., "I"m a playful 32 year old architect who likes to relax by reading mystery novels." (来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

Share what you like best in a partner. Don"t be negative or cruel. Instead, say what you want, i.e., "A guy who knows the difference between Monet and Manet, yet can also clean-and-press a 150 pound barbell." (来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

When you respond to others" posts, show them that you actually read what they wrote, and aren"t just turned on by their picture or physical description. (来源：英语资料下载 http://download.englishcn.com)
