This is a repost of a post I posted on the ChristianMingle.com message board. I received mostly positive responses, although a few people found it truly offensive (which is beyond me). What are your thoughts? Obviously, some of these things apply exclusively to Christian Mingle, but most of them apply to the whole realm of Internet dating.
What are your thoughts and experiences in this area? Even if you’ve never dated online, what pros and cons do you see to this advice? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Three words isn’t even the beginning of getting to know you. Neither is a couple of sentences. I know you could write a novel and still not scratch the surface. But a paragraph or two of honest information that shows your individuality really helps make you stand out of the crowd. In a dating site with thousands upon thousands of people, you want to stand out.
