Dating Profile Fix: The Department of Redundancy Department

One of the hallmarks of good writing is that it can say a lot in very few words.  (There are some exceptions to this, like Dickens, but it depends on what you happen to like in literature.)

What happens when your dating profile goes way too long?

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 20-something lady who we’ll call Stacy.

Before:

I like doing little things for people. I consider my day a success if I’ve made someone elses day better. I am very big into little things. I like writing people notes, sending random text messages, making someone dinner or snacks and giving massages. I think the little things that take time, effort and thought mean so much more. I love doing that for others and I really want someone who will do that for me.

What This Says:

The same thing.  Over and over and over and over and over…

The Fix:

Whether it’s by sending a supportive text message or making a home-cooked meal, I believe in taking the time to do the little things that let people know how much they mean to me.

Short, sweet, and sooooo much better.
