Dating Profile Fix: Angry Parent
There’s being a parent and then there is being an angry Mama Bear that nobody wants to get close to for fear of losing a limb.
Welcome to the Daily Fix, where we take snippets from real dating profiles and changes the names to protect the not-so-innocent.
Today’s subject is a 30-something lady who we’ll call Uma.
Before:
I’ll start by saying if you don’t like children you can move along. I have the most beautiful little girl anyone could ask for and no one comes before her.
What This Says:
“Rawr! I’m a Mama Bear! Don’t you get near me or my cub!”
The Fix:
You can be a proud parent without being a scary Mama Bear. Believe me, most men who don’t want kids are going to pick up the fact that you have a beautiful little girl and go running in the other direction. You may get a couple who won’t read your profile, but you’ll get that no matter what. It’s par for the course (especially if you’re really pretty).
All Uma needs to do to fix up her profile is delete the first sentence. Starting your profile off with the beautiful little girl who is the center of her world will drive away the guys who don’t like kids just fine. Bonus: It won’t scare the rest of the guys off who think she’s got a bad Mama Bear attitude.
Seen a bad profile recently? (Maybe your own?) Email it to me and it may be featured on an upcoming Daily Fix.
