Online Dating Profiles For Women

The Opening Profile:
How to Turn a Browse into a Click

By Judsen Culbreth

The opening profile is your first and perhaps most important dating tool. Learn how to avoid the mistakes made by 90 percent of searchers and create a profile that captures your strong points and stands out from the crowd.

User Name

Every word counts in your opener, including your user name. Save Susan6134for your office or home computer. Your dating 'handle' should be anonymous yet descriptive. One study of perceptions in cyberspace demonstrated that selective nicknames or handles influence the impressions others develop of the person using them. These little words count!

What two or three words fit you to a tee?

You might want to zero in on an activity or interest, like I did with my online ID, GolfNut. Or consider HappyHiker, NauticalGal, OutdoorLover, WalkingWoman, LineDancer, HistoryBuff, BirderChick, BridgeBelle, orHookedonBooks.

You may have a fascinating profession to brag about, as did PaleoGal, ArtLady, and Novelist53. Or you may possess intriguing physical attributes, like NordicBlondeBuddy, Blondie, Green-eyedLady, OleBlueEyes, SunnySmiles, Dimpled&Adorable, PolishednPretty, CuteRedhead, and Brown-eyedGal.

Personality might be your strong suit: HeartofGold, Warm&Lively, ThoughfulLady, Friendly&Affectionate, GreatListener, Spirited&Sensitive, CozyCharmer, FunFran, HappyGal, SueIsNice, SweetnShy. Good, honest humor also gets noticed. I chuckled when I read the refreshing MiddleageOverweightSchoolmarm.

Banner Headline (Subject Line)

Most sites have a banner headline with the profile -- a six- to 12-wordphrase that offers you a second chance to grab attention and sell yourself. Notice the emphasis on yourself. Don't use this important real estate to describe the person you're looking for. He will find you if you do your selling job.

Put modesty aside for 15 minutes and jot down your wonderful attributes. If you find that difficult to do, think about how good friends would describe you. What's it like to be with you? Don't guess; ask them. Friends can offer a fresh perspective and may be much more objective about you than you are.

In your collection of compliments, be sure that there are adjectives emphasizing your joy and vitality -- 'love to laugh,' 'crazy about fishing.' At this stage, what attracts is a happy, healthy person who's warm and open to men, and has enthusiasm about life. Here are some more examples:

• PLAYFUL PETITE REDHEAD
• LIVE WIRE SEEKS SPARKS
• CUTE LADY WHO LOVES HOCKEY
• GOOD COOK AND CUDDLER
• HAVE YOU HAD YOUR GIGGLE TODAY?
• LET'S HAVE FUN
• ATTRACTIVE. ADVENTUROUS. ADORABLE.
• TRAVEL GAL WANTS A PAL

You'll notice that good banner headlines are positive, interesting, and humorous. They keep things light. Donna Frank of Nashua, New Hampshire, attracted now-husband Eric's attention with her headline, 'Modern-Day Elaine Seeking Her Seinfeld.'

On the other hand, banner headlines that spook guys are heavy and hostile. Don't make these mistakes:

1. Asking too much too soon. Imagine writing a résumé in which you told your prospective employer that you were looking for lifetime employment with a guarantee of happiness. That would be an absurd request from someone you'd never met. Equally absurd are similar banner headlines, such as HUSBAND WANTED, SHARE MY SOUL, or SPEND THE NEXT 20 YEARS WITH ME. So are ones that ask a perfect stranger to be perpetually amusing: EXCITE ME or GIVE ME A LIFETIME OF LAUGHTER. These remind me of the Seinfeld episode in which New York Mets' first baseman Keith Hernandez asks Jerry to help him move. 'I hardly know the guy, 'Jerry protests, and rightly so. Only someone you're very intimate with should be asked to do such heavy lifting.
   
2. Sounding too sexy. You don't want to come across as a cyber-tramp with headlines such as CHECK OUT ROOTY TOOTY BOOTY, LET'S MAKE MISCHIEF, PASSIONATE WOMAN, or 1SEXY LADY NEEDS NAUGHTY GUY. You may be flooded with e-mail, but not the kind you want.
   
3. Sounding too romantic. You'll seem naive and vulnerable if you opt for headlines such as SEARCHING FOR MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR. Also trite and overused: MR. RIGHT, MR. WONDERFUL, THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE, ONE IN A MILLION, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, HEARTTHROB, PRINCE CHARMING.
   
4. Picking on men. Many women, perhaps inadvertently, allow male bashing to creep into their banner headlines. Okay, maybe in the past you were burned by men, but you need to decide now whether you want to date 'em or hate 'em. If you want a fresh start with an online romance, note that stereotyping men as dishonest and irresponsible is not an attraction magnet. The hostility repels the good guys as well as the bad. Men like women who like men. Check your banner headline for these kinds of subtle or outright hostile put-downs: ARE YOU ONE OF THE NICE GUYS? BE HONEST; NO HEAD GAMES; NO JERKS ALLOWED; NO CRAZIES, PLEASE; R U NORMAL? NO MORE B-S!

Short Personal Profile

It's less than 100 words -- sometimes as few as 25 -- but this descriptive paragraph needs to convey the experience of you. A good way to accomplish that is to divide the profile between your physical description and personality, keeping in mind the two questions you need to answer in this short space: What am I like? What is it like to be with me? Here are a few tips to get you started.

Physical

Tell the truth. Some sites require you to disclose height, weight, and age right up front. If you've been fudging for a while and can get away with shaving a few pounds or years, you might be okay. But any experienced online dater will warn you that you're risking wrath when you lie. Clever explanations and apologies will not earn you forgiveness if you've wasted someone's time by misrepresenting yourself. When the 50-SOMETHING TENNIS CHAMP I agreed to meet turned out to be 72, the sweet bouquet he brought didn't keep me from leaving soon after our handshake. He'd insulted me by lying.

There's no reason to lie about your age. Why compromise your credibility when so many online searchers will treasure the years you're trying to hide? Preview sites specifically for Boomers. The big sites, such as the official Match.com site, Perfectmatch.com, and SingleParentMatch, also have millions of mature browsers and are experiencing double-digit growth in our demographic group.

Jim Fischer, who started his online search at 49, listed 'someone my own age' as his number one criteria. 'I was married for seven years to a Gen Xer who was 15 years younger than me,' he says. 'What a disaster! Her cultural references began with the movie Sixteen Candles and ended somewhere around Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I wanted someone on my level, someone without a tongue ring or tattoos and who could answer, 'Where were you when President Kennedy was assassinated?'

There's also no reason to lie about your weight. Maybe you won't attract the guy who wants a perfect size six. Don't worry about him. You don't need to appeal to everyone. Set your sights on the person you really want to meet. Get his attention by describing yourself in flattering terms, such as BBW (big, beautiful woman), voluptuous, or sensuous size 16.

When Jim linked to Stephanie, now his wife, 'we were both toting some extra pounds,' he says. 'That's called, 'you get older and you put on weight.' It's just life.'

Use colorful language and humor. Instead of 'tall,' how about saying you're 'long-legged'? The latter creates a more sensual mental picture, like Lauren Bacall showing off her great gams in 'To Have and Have Not'. Instead of 'brown hair with highlights,' don't you think it would be more fun to meet a 'nearly blonde dazzler'?

The Age Issue

Contrary to popular belief, most mature men don't want a younger woman. Statistically, they tend to marry women close to their own age.

But women who age well or look young for their age seem to have the odds in their favor. In his study of marriage-minded men, author and image consultant John Molloy reports that a majority of men over 40 want a woman who is 'going to stay in shape, keep her figure, and pay attention to her appearance.'

Molloy's survey, the subject of his book 'Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others', also found that 'half the men over 40 who have dated, lived with, or married much younger women would hesitate to do so again.'

Personality

Share your interests. The way you spend your leisure time is one of the best indicators of your personality and values. (If you've been too busy for hobbies, you may want to consider rounding out your life.) Write down the activities that show both your playful and serious sides.

Notice the balance in these short profiles:

• 'My smile is contagious and so is my energy. I'm a gym rat, chess player, and volunteer community gardener, and I read all the historical fiction I can get my hands on. Let's laugh together . . .'
  
• 'I've built the kind of life where I can travel and have a good time. I try to walk every morning, and love trips where I trek around the countryside. I think that's the best way to really see things up close, and I can take time to enjoy a magnificent view, whether I just stumble across it or admire it during lunch at a roadside café.'

Notice the lack of balance in this one:

• 'Sometimes I spend too much time at work and leave out the relaxing pleasures of mowing the lawn and weeding the garden.'

Appeal to your target audience.

One of the fundamental rules in sales and marketing is to know to whom you're selling. In this instance, your goal is to appeal to a member of the opposite sex. The key word here is opposite.

My gorgeous friend Marion wondered why she wasn't getting e-mail. Here's the line from her opening profile that killed her chances: 'My favorite activity is shopping!!! I love clothes.' This would be a great hook if she were hoping to land a woman friend. But in my experience, if you give a man a choice between shopping and having a root canal, the latter has a better chance of winning. (The exception, of course, would be helping a woman pick out a bathing suit --lots of male volunteers there.)

Too much domesticity can also turn off men. You're not applying for the job of cook, maid, or nanny. Clean out language that pigeonholes you as a housebound Heloise. Check, for example, that your list of activities includes more than cooking, gardening, needlepoint, crafts, and yard sales. You want to appear dynamic in a number of spheres.

This profile shows symmetry between domesticity and romance:

• 'I cook very well, especially if you'll share a good wine and talk with me while I'm marinating the steaks.'

This one reaches domestic nirvana from a man's point of view:

• 'I am a very happy, low-maintenance person who enjoys simple pleasures like barbecuing on my deck as I watch the sun set over the golf course.'

Offer specific, telling details

Most adults enjoy dinner, movies, music, and travel. It's the distinguishing detail that will catch the eye of your compatible partner. If nothing tastes better to you than a cold beer and a hotdog at the ballpark, say so. (Boy, will you get e-mail!) If you've seen every single Steven Spielberg movie, let the other Spielberg fans know.

Tout your uniqueness and expertise with specifics:

• 'I was brought up on the Sound and know the waters south of Boston down to City Island pretty well.'

Demonstrate what you're describing:

• 'Great sense of humor (think Robin Williams -- only calmer).'

Or, as Eric Frank had Donna giggling:

• 'My friends think I'm funny (I love my friends).'

One detail you don't want to disclose in the opening profile is information on your family. Keep the first impression focused on you. No distractions --even lovable ones -- just yet. Save the introduction to your family for the questionnaire or first date. Here's how bringing up the family too early can backfire:

Avoid the negative. I believe honesty is the best policy -- but not the despairing, soul-baring kind of honesty evident below. Would you respond to these women or flee?

• 'I'm tired of sitting at home waiting for Mr. Right to knock at my door, and I hate those singles bars. All my friends are married, and I feel like the third wheel. I need a life.'
  
• 'I haven't worked in a while because I was badly injured when I fell down a flight of stairs. While I was recovering, I had to cope with a divorce. But now I'm ready for someone who can make me smile again.'

No man in his right mind would want to shoulder that kind of burden. Guys are not online to do a rescue mission.

Dating Profiles For Women Examples

Demands can backfire, too. They turn off all men because they make you seem hard to please and testy. Don't say what you don't want.

• 'Don't answer this if you're not a gentleman.'
• 'Game players need not apply!'
• 'I only want to hear from someone who wants to make a commitment.'

A more positive approach would be:

• 'I would like to meet a friend who also likes to walk for exercise.'

Defensiveness is another form of negativity. There's no need to feel bashful or ashamed about going online. Millions of smart, attractive people -- including the men who'll be scanning your profile -- have made cyber-dating a socially acceptable option. Congratulate yourself that you're healthy, confident, and savvy enough to take control of finding a loving relationship. Don't waste time and valuable words on apologies like these from . . .

• The virgin searcher: 'Well, I've never done this before and I'm not very good at it, but here goes...'
• The resigned searcher: 'Nothing but sheer desperation has brought me here. I'm determined to meet that one guy in a million, the one who will fall in love with me at first sight.'
• The halfhearted searcher: 'My sister talked me into this, and I have no idea what I'm doing.'
  

Education and Success: The Hot New Ticket

There's a shift in the marriage market, according to University of Texas professor Kelly Raley, Ph.D. In her study of marital preferences, based on data from the National Survey of Families and Households, Dr. Raley was surprised to find that men are most willing to marry women with more education and earning power than they have themselves. 'Attractiveness may still be important,' she says, 'but it looks as if men want women with greater economic resources.'

Another study, from the University of Utah, also confounded researchers. Contrary to predictions, the woman who described herself in an ad as 'financially independent, successful (and) ambitious' generated twice as many responses as the description 'lovely . . . very attractive and slim.'

Photo

Posting a photo on the opener is a must. Profiles with photos generate 80 percent more responses, according to site managers. Some women say they don't want to be judged by their photos. I would counter by saying that you won't be in the contest at all. 'No pix, no picks' is how it's played.

Not having a photo with your profile implies that you have something to hide. It's a caution flag. Think about it: Would you choose someone who didn't post a photo?

If the technical aspects bother you, note that sites now offer step-by-step instructions on how to get your picture online. If you have a digital camera, you're set. You can also get traditional photos inexpensively converted to digital at Wal-Mart, copy shops, or photo stores like Photomax. Some online sites, will do all the work for you -- you e-mail or mail them your photo, and they'll do the posting and/or digital conversion for you.

Which photo to choose?

Select a shot that offers the clearest, most flattering view of you. A professional head shot (if not too stiff -- warmth is very important) works quite well. If you don't have one, consider having one made, and see if the photographer could recommend a hair-and-makeup person who can help you achieve a natural-but-gorgeous look. (This could be the best investment you ever make!)

A photo that shows a hint of location in the background also can be very engaging. But you -- not the mountains, the seashore, or the Eiffel Tower -- must be the star. In fact, your backyard on a sunny day may be all the location you need. Sit in a comfortable chair and ask the photographer to crop in on you from the waist up. Look relaxed and happy and you've got the perfect pose.

You'll have a chance to include other pictures with your questionnaire. There you can show off how sexy you look in a ski outfit or what a knockout you are when dressed to the nines. But remember to keep the opening photo clear and simple. If a guy can't get a good look at you, he may skip to someone else. Other photo pointers:

1. Avoid old photos. Never post anything more than two years old.
   
2. Showing too much skin may send the wrong message about you. You don't want to attract a bad kind of guy.
   
3. Try to project warmth, one of the characteristics mature men want most. A big smile and cozy sweater signal that you're kind-hearted; sunglasses say cool, not warm. My friend Hildy didn't want her doctorate degree to seem intimidating, so she included a shot showing her holding mother and baby sloths. Half her e-mailers skipped over the Ph.D. part. They wanted to know what the heck she had around her neck.
   
4. Group photos are confusing. Maybe your hair did look fabulous on the night of your high school reunion, but the other folks in the photo are a distraction. Pick another good-hair moment.
   
5. Don't crop your former husband or boyfriend out of a photo unless he won't be missed, because a strange arm around your shoulder that's not attached to a body looks very weird. The trace of an ex also suggests that you haven't moved on from that relationship. Haven't you had a good time since you two parted?
   
6. Save photos of the kids for an in-person meeting.

Summary Sell-Line

After you've created a warm, interesting picture of yourself and posted an equally wonderful photo, it's time to clinch the click. The fifth step is a simple, very effective two-part sales strategy that will distinguish you from the crowd.

Dating Profiles For Women

Offer what marketers call the value proposition. What's 'in it for the browser? What can you promise that will make him click on you and not the competition? Note how well this four-sentence summary sell-line states the value proposition and makes the case for a future relationship:

'I will be a good friend and ally. I will be tender, responsive, appreciative, and agreeable. I will inspire you. I will listen to you.'

Online Dating Profile Examples
<< Return to Main Page —or— Go to Next Page: Writing Messages >>
Here are a few examples of unique online dating profiles. If you wish to understand the concepts behind these examples, please read our tips for writing your online profile.
Example 1: Light-Hearted and Silly
I may not be a supermodel, but at least I smell nice... well, that's what my grandma tells me!
When I'm not busy saving the world or being awesome, I spend my time working as a bartender and part-time chef. Cooking is one of my greatest passions in life and I dream of one day starting my own restaurant. Ultimately, I'd like to be known for serving the most delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on this side of the Mississippi... my mom's secret recipe is off the hook!
On my days off, you'll either find me playing hockey or belting out show-tunes with my 6-month-old nephew Max. He says we should take our act on the road, but I think he needs to brush up on his harmonies first.
I'm looking for a partner-in-crime who enjoys the outdoors and isn't afraid to step on the dancefloor from time-to-time. Don't worry if you have two left feet - I spent six years training at the Gangnam-Style School of Dance, and can teach you how to do the hokey pokey for a nominal fee.
Anyway, if you're easy-going and at least 86% awesome, feel free to drop me a line sometime!
Example 2: Genuine and Modest
Hey there, my name's Dave. According to my sister, the girls I've met in the 'real world' have been less-than-stellar (even though I thought my dating life was perfectly fine!). So at her request, I've decided to try something completely new and jump into the world of online dating. Here goes...
I'm 28 years old and work as a unit clerk at a local hospital. I can honestly say that I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to connect with people on a daily basis. I work the night shift, which sometimes gets a bad rap, but it also comes with many lifestyle perks. Imagine the luxury of going grocery shopping at 10 AM on a Wednesday morning: fully stocked shelves, no lines... it's a beautiful thing! :)
I am very close to my family and I make sure to spend at least one day a week doing something fun with my siblings. Whether we're watching a movie, playing soccer or jamming on the piano, we always have an amazing time together.
I like to focus my energy on collecting experiences as opposed to 'things' and would much rather spend my money on a trip to a foreign country than on a fancy new car. I'm the type of person who likes to seize opportunities and make the most of every day. Above all else, I value honesty and kindness in a partner, so if you're a genuine person with a lust for life, send me a message!

Example 3: Simple, Funny and To-The-Point.
Me:
1. Sarcastic, sophisticated, witty, dorky, sensitive and free-spirited. Also a fan of adjectives.
2. A wizard in the kitchen. Gordon Ramsey once told me that I was his idol... Ok, maybe not, but I'm sure he'd love the flavor of my home-made gnocci.
3. Nomadic Adventurer. I've set foot on 5 continents and have a thirst for exploring more. I hope to one day go vacationing on Mars as I've heard the mountains are glorious.
4. Full of random (and oftentimes useless) information. I will kick your butt at Trivial Pursuit.
You:
1. Intelligent, sweet, down-to-earth and adventurous. Bonus points if you're a little bit quirky.
2. An ambitious go-getter. I'm attracted to people who set big goals and put all their effort into pursuing them. Even if your life's dream is to become the world's greatest thumb-wrestler, I totally dig it.
3. A non-smoker... or at least trying to quit. As open-minded as I am, I have to draw the line at cigarettes. I can't stand their smell and don't want to be around smoke all the time.
4. Pet-friendly. My cat Felix loves to meet new people, but if you're allergic to fur, the two of you probably won't get along. :(
Me + You: An undeniably awesome couple with amazing chemistry. Let's make the world jealous!
Example 4: Goofy and Sarcastic
I tie my own shoes, brush my own hair, and make my own bed... (well, only if my mom isn't at home.)
During the day, I can be found sitting in an office cubicle, feverishing tapping my phone with hopes of getting a new high score on Candy Crush. I like to spend my evenings watching re-runs of Felecity while sipping on a glass of Chardonnay. I play a mean game of rock-paper-scissors (was the national champion for 2 years straight), and love the smell of pop tarts in the morning (part of a complete breakfast!)
On our first date, I'll fly you to Paris on my private jet, where we'll watch Celine Dion perform live in concert. After the show, I'll whisk you away to a private beach resort in St. Tropez, just in time to watch the sun set over the glistening water. Or if that doesn't excite you, we could just grab coffee at the Starbucks on 24 ave.
You should message me if you are Smart, Sexy, Sophisticated, Sassy and Spontaneous. (Bonus points if you have over eight years of experience as a forklift operator.)
Example 5: Straightforward and Down-to-Earth
I'm a graduate of Texas Christian University, where I majored in Post-Modern Literature. Yup, that's right, reading is my biggest hobby... 80% of the time you'll find me with my nose deep in a book (except on Sunday nights from 9 - 10 PM when Breaking Bad is on - GO HEISENBERG!).
Travelling is also a major passion of mine, and I spend a lot of my free-time planning out future adventures. I would love to travel through South America sometime, especially Argentina. Something about the culture just speaks to me... not to mention, they make fantastic wine.
I have an 18 month old german shepherd named Ringo - he unfortunately lost one of his legs in a car accident, but he's still the cutest thing on the planet! I love animals and hope to meet someone who shares this passion.
As for the kind of woman I'm looking for... she knows what she wants out of life and has her finances in check. She enjoys the outdoors, tries to eats healthy and likes to take a midnight stroll from time-to-time.
Please Note: If you can't go 5 minutes without checking Facebook on your phone, we're probably not a good match. However, if you enjoy having thought-provoking conversation and aren't afraid of the occasional spirited debate, give me a shout!

Dating Profiles For Older Women

Example 6: Funny Introduction
A friend told me that online dating sites are frequented by some very strange people, so I figured I should filter out a few folks by asking some serious questions. Please answer carefully:
1) Are you a fan of Nickelback?
2) Have you watched more than 2 episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians?
If your answers to both questions was 'no', then congratulations, you've passed the first test! If you answered 'yes' to either question', then I'm afraid there's no way we'll get along, sorry!
Now that we've gotten the formalities out of the way, let me introduce myself... I am a second-year college student, hoping to major in art history. Renaissance-era paintings make my heart glow and I would love to one day share my passion with others by becoming an art professor.
On a typical Friday night I am probably attending yoga class, or biking down one of the many gorgeous trails in our city. I'm the type of person who will do things on a whim, and I'm looking for a partner with the same mentality.
I make an effort to eat raw foods as much as possible, but I've been known to indulge in a Big Mac on occasion. (I must admit, there's no better cure for a hangover than two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!)
Anyway, if you're a laid-back intellectual who can appreciate a freshly made quinoa salad and the occasional chai latte, send me a message.
Example 7: Sincere and Sweet
Howdy! My name's Clint, and I'm here to steal your heart (with your permission, of course). Cheesy lines aside, I thought it would be fun to try out this online dating thing, as many of my friends have recommended it. Apparently, you can meet some pretty cool people online (who would've thunk?!). So without further ado, here are a few tidbits about myself...
I spend my days working as a Social Media director at a nationwide travel agency. In a nutshell, this means I get to fly across the country and make posts about our company on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The traveling is exciting, however the nature of my job has sorta, kinda turned me into an internet addict. 9 times out of 10, when I enter an unfamiliar building, the first thought that comes to my mind is: 'Does this place have wi-fi?'. Fortunately, I find time to play baseball twice a week, which keeps me from turning into a potato.
My biggest passion in life is music. I LOVE Bon Jovi, Journey and Van Halen (and pretty much every other hair band from the 80's!). There's nothing quite as exhilarating as strumming on a six-string with my friends as we sing classic rock songs at the top of our lungs.
Family is very important to me, and I make it a point to have dinner with my folks at least twice a week. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family of my own one day - the more kids the merrier.
Five things I couldn't do without:
- The Internet
- My Guitar
- My Dog Rex
- The New York Yankees
- Nutella
3 random facts about me:
1) I learned how to juggle chainsaws from my neighbour who used to be a clown in the traveling circus. This may not seem a particularly useful skill, although I'm confident it will come in handy at some point in the future.
2) I once ate 34 chicken McNuggets in one sitting after being dared by a friend. Needless to say, I wasn't very active for the remainder of the day.
3) My mom is a massive Barry Manilow fan. This resulted in me subconsciously learning the lyrics to every song on his 'Tryin' to Get the Feeling' album by age 8.
Anyway, if you're not allergic to musicians or a clever sense of humor, feel free to send me a message!
Example 8: 'Bullet Point' Approach
Hey folks, my name's Jessica. I assume you probably want to know a few things about me other than the fact that I like 'hanging out with my friends' and 'going on vacation', so here are a few random tidbits:
- I have a rewarding career that centers around one of my greatest passions (Hint: it may involve a small, Italian plumber named Mario :)
- I LOVE green peppers! Not sure why, but they just make me feel so good inside. Especially on a thin crust pizza - yum!
- Halloween is my favorite holiday. Each year I make my outfit from scratch, and I usually do really well in costume competitions.
- I have a 5 year old Sharpei named Kobe (yes, after the basketball player!)
- I may have a minor Nutella addiction.
- I don't know what I would do without my older sister - she's my best friend and keeps me sane when life gets crazy.
- It has always been a dream of mine to do a road trip across the United States in an old Volkswagon.
- I taught myself how to balance a bottle on my nose while standing on one foot. It's a completely useless skill, but occasionally wins me free drinks at the pub!
- I've been collecting stamps since I was 7 years old (kinda geeky, I know!). It was something I used to do with my grandmother, and now serves as a way to honor her memory.
- You get 10 bonus points if you think Def Leppard is the best band of all time!
