Has anyone on here tried the eHarmony Profile Advisor? I’ve been a member for a while and I’ve seen the advertisement on my home page many times, but I hadn’t really thought about giving it a try until now. Do you think it would really help?

Here’s my thing. I get that you’ve got ONE shot to grab someone’s attention and if you are a paying member it only makes sense to use every possible advantage, right? I’m seriously thinking about doing it. What do you all think? Would it make you feel any differently if you knew a match had help putting her profile together?

I think you'd be better off just posting your profile here and letting other members help you with it.

I don't think you're forced to use the result, so you can try it and see what you think.

What I would guess is that the advice is not going to be really high quality; so, unless there are obvious problems in you profile, it probably will not give much of an improvement.

e-harmony profile advisor $ 99.95

Posting your profile here $ 0.00

Receiving feedback from people
who have read thousands of profiles... PRICELESS


Between the eH profile workshops, the community and past profile review threads.. All of these are Free tools to assist you in writing the best profile in your own words.

My two tips for writing a great profile:

Search the competition : Go to the open e-dating sites (match-okc-pof- whatever) and view your own demographic. Most people will find that their own profile is really not that much different than their competitors, so when your matches are reading them how does yours stand out!

When reading your own matches profiles, spot of the commonalities, cliches' and pet-peeves that bother you and check them against your own profile, its perfectly okay to have cliches', but shouldn't be that hard to find a different way to say it.. make sense?

I used a profile adviser on Match, and was glad to get fresh eyes on what I had written. I liked most of what was suggested.

However, since then I have seen the advice given to people who post their profiles on this site and, in general, I think it is more helpful. Usually the respondents say not only how they would rewrite parts of the profile, but also why.

Yep.

Another thing you get here, is you get to look at the advice from the people you like, in the demographic you're targeting, with similar values, etc.

What appeals to your target is what you want.

Posting your profile here for review is a good idea -- also, read through existing profile reviews; you'll see what goes over well and what doesn't.

I would see the profile advisor service as more useful for people who are very inarticulate, or working in a language they don't know very well. I like the "quirks" in peoples' profiles -- the little oddities that make their profile stand out and make them more real. I don't think the Advisor can give that to you.

Try getting your profile reviewed here, and if that doesn't help then go ahead with the Advisor, perhaps?
