Rachel 's Profile - Before and After

Rachel’s picture makes her look unapproachable, which couldn't be further from the truth. We convinced her to use a new picture (don’t have one? Go to www.singleshots.com) and what a difference! Instead of cold and standoffish, Rachel’s picture conveys warmth and a bit of mystery, plus it accentuates her sexy black curls!

Her profile is already well-written but there were a few changes to be made. Rachel’s independence is an attractive characteristic, but she comes across as so independent that it’s not clear if she’s interested in dating. We didn’t want to make her seem less independent, but we wanted to emphasize the fact that Rachel really wants to meet that special someone who shares her interests…thus the appeal for someone who might help her train for a marathon. Other subtle changes include substituting “woman” for “person” (more sensual) and listing some of the great places she’s visited (good conversation starters).

RACHEL AFTER

ABOUT ME:

I am an energetic, adventurous person with a big heart. I work for a non-profit organization with a mission that I believe in. I love hanging out with my friends, though I am not afraid to go places on my own. I enjoy traveling to unique places, spending time outdoors, trying new things, and challenging myself. I'm also a former marathoner (okay, I only did one, but I'm really proud of it!) who is contemplating a comeback from retirement... One of my biggest hobbies is photography. I'm usually on the go, and I'm always up for a spontaneous adventure!

I love both the comfort of hanging out with my friends as well as the adventure of going to new places on my own.
