Automatic Profile Generation Sites

Avoid sites that generate your profile text for you. On these sites


you are asked to fill in detailed questions about yourself and who

you are looking for. From this information the site automatically

generates a profile based on your information. For example:

“John is a 28yo Male from Sydney Australia. He is 5’11” and

weighs 75 kg. He has blue eyes and pale skin. His religion is not

important. His interests include Soccer and Wind Surfing.

“John is looking for a 20-30yo female located in Sydney. She

should be between 5’1 and 5’9” tall with a slim to average build.”The object of this is to give everyone the same chance, and in


turn to generate a site full of supposed ‘quality’ profiles. As you

can see, however, the result is not exactly a work of art. In fact,

it’s mind numbingly boring.

Not surprisingly this doesn’t work in practice, and the only

outcome is to bore those who are searching for profiles. Try this

yourself and you’ll quickly find that even searching a few profiles

becomes incredibly tedious.

On top of that it’s next to impossible to stand out in any respect

against your competition. Avoid these sites if you can.

Regulatory Bodies

There are currently very few, if any laws that prevent anyone from


operating a personals singles site any way they see fit. However,

the ones that charge for their services fall under the business

category and are subject to common business laws in the country

in which they are based. Laws vary greatly from country to country,

and there is often little recourse should you have queries or

complaints about sites in other countries.

There is no regulatory body that controls how personals sites do

things, and provide or promote their services. Reputable sites will

have their own ‘Code of Practice’ which you can read before joining.

If you don’t like the way they do things then the best option is to go

elsewhere.

Stick to the large well-known sites, preferably in your own

country and you will be fine.
