Read your profile. Really. READ it.

I'm not kidding in my title.

Really. Read it out loud.

Does it sound like something you'd actually say?

Most of the time, when guys are trying to impress, they use language that's much more formal than they use in real life.

Or they try to be too cool, and pepper their profile with more L33T SP33K than substance. LOL. :-)

But, when people actually read profiles that are overly-formal, or too-hip-and-casual... they see someone who isn't being genuine.

Again, it's best to use relaxed, normal speech.

The same way you'd talk in real life.

Griffin - you made a good comment. Feel free to repost it without the unrelated reference to the magazine that you work for.

Always happy to have decent folks participating, though!
