There is one question I get over and over from guys who email me, and I got this one again recently.
It’s about how to write about your hobbies and interests in your online dating profile and make it sound like it’s different from other guys.
The email says:
For interests , when you have average hobbies (like shopping , playing tennis …), how not to write banalities in your description and not bore women? Because TONS of men have these same hobbies! And the goal is to stand out of the crowd.
This question is perfect because this guy understands that you need to stand out even when your hobbies seem so average or normal.
First of all, there is a damn good chance that the interests you have ARE different than other guys.
For example, I don’t play tennis and I hate shopping. You’re already unique from me.
Online dating profile interests. There is one question I get over and over from guys who email me, and I got this one again recently. It’s about how to write about your hobbies and interests in your online dating profile and make it sound like it’s different from other guys. Try some of these conversation starters for dating out next time you’re talking to someone you don’t know, and see where they take you! Good luck out there. Bestselling Author and Empowerment Coach.

Men like ambitious, creative women while women like well-travelled, informed blokes, a study conducted by eHarmony has found. The 'about me' section on a dating website is one of the most important pieces that informs the other prospective daters of who you really are. Aside from having a great profile picture, which initially sparks interest, writing an awesome 'about me' section is the best way to attract your ideal match.
Even if you DO have really “normal” hobbies, there is a way to totally separate yourself from every other guy who has that same interest.
I’ve touched on it here in the blog, but for those of you who are new here, let me give you a brief recap.
Women are FEELING creatures. They are run by their EMOTIONS. They like to talk about how they feel and what something made them feel.
Guys on the other hand tend to be more rational and thought orientated. We process things logically. We talk about what we think.
So…
If you want to make something that seems boring… (I’ll take shopping and playing tennis since those are the examples in the email, but I don’t think either of those are boring), all you have to do is spin those in your online dating profile and write about how each of those things makes you FEEL.
Describe your passion for them, after all passion is a feeling too. A very powerful and contagious feeling actually.
AND, if it’s possible, use your interests to CONNECT with a girl.
So, let’s take shopping and I’ll show you how you could write that up in your online dating profile.
I love killing an afternoon shopping. I don’t even have to buy anything to have a great time (which drives my guy friends crazy). But, there is a real sense of satisfaction from finding just that perfect thing.
See what I’m doing here?
I connect with her and her world by telling her about my experience shopping, not even having to buy anything for it to be a success.
Window shopping is a woman thing. she will understand. And she will love it that your guy friends don’t get it, because NEITHER DO HER GUY FRIENDS. You connect there again.
And then you tell how shopping gives you a sense of satisfaction. Again, she can relate. You are in her world. She thinks you understand her.
Got that?
Okay, good. 🙂
Let’s try it with playing tennis.
Most women aren’t competitive. They aren’t going to play a sport to compete against someone. They play to have a sense of community with their teammates and even opponents.
Or they might do sports casually to stay in shape or to better themselves.
So, you can (you don’t have to though), mimic this kind of thinking in your online dating profile write-up…
I love playing tennis just to keep my mind and body active. It’s not always about winning to me, it’s getting out and enjoying the day and the person I’m playing with. I love that I get better each time I play and the feeling I get after a great game with a friend.
Again, we connect with her on her level. We talk about how the game makes us feel IN VERY VAGUE TERMS.
You want to leave the interpretation of your feelings to her imagination sometimes. You just say “I love the way X makes me feel. Then let them think, “Me too!!! I’m the same way!!!” connection made and she types you a quick message.
I hope this helps. More answers to questions next post!
Enjoy—JT

If you’ve been online dating for any amount of time, you’ve seen bad profiles. They’re either sparse, copied from someone more clever, use The Office as a character trait, or are completely blank. Then, you come across the perfect profile. It might be five words, three paragraphs, or a hilarious photo, but either way you’re in stitches. We’ve scoured the internet (and the best dating apps) to pull together a list of some of the funniest dating profiles.
1. The Truth
You’re smart. This ain’t your first rodeo. And You’re not about to fall for the preposterous claims made by so many of the profiles on this site. So here’s a refreshing perspective—the truth.
I pay my mortgage. I wear socks that match. I’m an honest man, with a decent career and strong values. So While I could regale you with stories of my trips to Paris or how I resemble Ryan Gosling…I know that good communication’s a foundation for every relationship. So if we’re on the same wavelength, read on…
2. Exaggeration
I am a rocket scientist. I’ve appeared on the cover of GQ—twice. And after mastering Italian, I became an international super spy. Right now, I’m yachting my way across the Caribbean, stealing top-secret information, and sipping mai tais…shaken, not stirred.
…Okay, fine. I exaggerated *just* a smidge. But I do like a good mai tai and I got a B+ in my 5th grade science class.
3. Blurbs

“Our go-to guy for fashion advice” – GQ

Your turn…Do you prefer swimming, dancing, or a 24-hour Netflix marathon?
5. A Few of My Favorite Things
I like…
The Frito smell of dog paws.
When I randomly decide to call an old friend and they say “I was just thinking about you!”
The way little kids get grumpy and confused when they’re tired.
That moment I get that Bumble BOOM! Message, and know someone I liked is into me too.

7. The Girl You Can Take Home to Your Family
I’m the kinda girl you can take home to your family. I will then get closer to them than you are and we’ll slowly phase you out.
8. Alpha Male
I hope you like alpha males because I’m your guy. That’s right, I’m the whole package. I’ll defend your honor in public, won’t take shit from waiters, and I’ll even get you pregnant, leave, and then come back to eat the child.
9. Christmas Tree
My brother once put me through a Christmas tree wrapping machine then my parents put me in the boot for the ride home.
10. Best Travel Story
I was in New Orleans when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Long story short, my nipple may or may not have been pierced.
11. Not Down to Earth
I’m not down to earth at al. If you don’t reply to my text I will turn up to your house drunk at 3 o’clock in the morning crying and trying to break in. I hate drinking tea and doing craft. I hate bicycles, the beach, sunshine, and parks. And Cider, I hate Cider.
12. Definitely Not a Murderer
My self-summary
I’m a fun loving guy and a self-starter who has absolutely no interest in committing murder. I’m looking for love, companionship, or just that one lovely evening (and rest assured that that one lovely evening will absolutely end with you back at your house, safe, and sound!) Let me take you into my magical world of not murdering anyone, ever, for any reason.
List Of Dating Interests
What I’m doing with my life
I’ll tell you this right up front: Certainly not murdering ANYONE, least of all you! Beyond that, mostly digging.
13. A Terrible Liar
My self-summary
Here are the quick and dirty facts so you can get back to clicking through my photos: I’m a terrible liar and an excellent +1. You can usually find me managing my investments, hitting the gym, or catching up with a friend over cocktails and tapas. And I’m incredibly judgemental…when it comes to T-bone steaks. Otherwise, I’m pretty easygoing. 😉
What I’m doing with my life
When I’m not in the ER, you can often find me visiting the kind of far flung destination that requires a passport. Remote locations like Santiago or Zanzibar have always spoken to me. But usually it’s in Spanish or Swahili…so I can’t understand a word they’re saying.
14. The Best Thing on the Internet
About Me
Ladies, your time has come. I’m serious – stop reading and message me right away, because I am the best thing that could ever happen to you on the internet. Better than gym selfies. Better than 14 Facebook likes. And even better than kitten GIFs. Okay, okay, maybe not better than those. Because what can top that?
If we’re being honest, I’m probably not really the “best thing” ever. I have falws too. First of all, I don’t have Jon Snow’s flowing locks. I sometimes wash my lights with my darks. And I never ask for directions – ever.
Maybe you can see past that thought? 😉
As for my career… Well, I got my first taste of what it means to be an entrepreneur when I was a kid, selling 25 cent cups of lemonade and giving away free extra-salty potato chips. I’ve since moved up to buying and selling Internet comapnies, but I still love Lay’s potato chips.
I’m a non-apologetic big city dweller at heart, but that doesn’t stop me from rounding up friends on a beautiful weekend and hitting the ski slopes, or grabbing my mountain bike for some trail riding. And I’m always thinking about my next trip… I hear good things about New Zealand.
As for the woman I’d like to meet… Your friends would describe you as “intelligent,” “ambitious,” and “kleptomaniacal”… Okay, maybe not the last one. And while I love potatoes in most of their forms, “couch potato” isn’t one of them. Physical fitness is important to you, as it is to me. And while you don’t have to host your own NatGeo show, having a few awesome travel stories wouldn’t hurt.
