How to write a profile description that people respond to

Be specific, not general

A description that people respond to isn't the longest one or the most polished one. It's the one from which the other person understands within a few seconds what you offer, who it's meant for, and what to do if they want to respond. Most ads on erotic portals fail because they only say what everyone else says. "Pleasant, nice, discreet" isn't a description. That's noise.

Start by sitting down and writing out what a person will actually experience with you. Not impressions, but facts. Where you meet, how long a meeting usually lasts, what's included and what isn't, what your terms are. Only from these sentences does a description that actually communicates something emerge.

The first two sentences decide

A visitor reads the beginning. If it doesn't catch their interest, they won't read the rest. So the first sentences belong to the most important thing you can say about yourself. Not apologies, not little poems, not quotes. Concrete information such as what you offer, where you operate, and who the offer is suitable for.

Avoid two extremes. The first is excessive modesty, where there's almost nothing in the description. The second is excessive showing off, where the text is full of superlatives that no one will believe. A realistic tone works better than anything exaggerated. If you're not sure how the text comes across, read it out loud. Cross out sentences that sound odd.

What has no place in a description

Don't make promises you can't keep. Don't write anything concerning minors, violence, or illegal practices. Don't include contact to other platforms if the portal's rules don't allow it. You're needlessly losing your profile and your time.

Don't use vulgar descriptions unless you have a reason to. Vulgarity can put off part of the audience that would otherwise respond. Likewise, don't use someone else's photos or someone else's text. A copied description is recognizable and comes across as untrustworthy.

The technical side of a description

A length of around 600 to 1200 characters is enough. Longer texts are harder to read and people skip over them. Break the text into short paragraphs. Use bullet points where you list services or terms. Always state at the end how a person should proceed if they want to respond. Uncertainty at the end will put off even someone who would otherwise write.

If you already have an ad elsewhere and want to transfer it, do it all at once, not in parts. Profile transfer will help you with that. Then keep the same text consistent everywhere you advertise. Inconsistencies between profiles come across as unprofessional.

Check your text before publishing

Read your own description as someone who doesn't know you. Do they understand what you offer? Do they know what to do? Is anything essential missing? If you're not sure, let the text sit for a while and come back to it the next day. You'll see mistakes and inconsistencies better.

Before launching your ad, also go through the rules of proper advertising. They concern the format, photos, and what can and can't be in the text. If you keep them in mind, you'll save yourself later edits. And if you need to create a profile, start with registration.
