What does a dating profile consist of?
Each member fills out a questionnaire and an essay which will let other members find out a little bit more about you. Some of the questions must be filled out. A profile is subdivided into several sections: personal, lifestyle, favorites and optional essay (you can write something that makes you attractive and unique, and a few words about a person you are looking for). A photo is optional but strongly recommended attribute of personal ads, because dating profiles with photos get more attention.

What will you recommend me to write in my personal profile?
Tired of typing and retyping the same basic info about yourself? You'll be delighted with how quickly (with just a few clicks of your mouse) and easily you can send a complete information about yourself. At the same time we recommend you to write something that makes you unique. Why? Unfortunately, some personal ads stay unnoticed not because a woman or a man is ugly or fail something, but because of the unattractive ads. There are literally different ways to write a personal ad, but the main rule you should remember is that you will use your personal ad as a book through which to sell yourself as a potential mate. Good ads are like good books: the further you read the more interesting. You may be the best writer, but if your ad doesn't prove your talents, you're not going to get any responses.
To write an attractive personal ad you should remember that everyone has something interesting about her/him, no two personals are interesting in the same way. Portray your best features. Spend time to express your thoughts, feelings and desires. Express your hobbies and interests. For example, you compose poems. Excellent! Place an excerpt from one of your best poems. This will add romance to your ad. Thus your ad won't merge with other personal ads, it will stand out. Be yourself. Don't fake. Pretence is usually revealed when people leave personal ads and go on to meet in person.
Don’t write about all your talents in your ad. Try to be a mystery as long as possible. Always leave people wanting more. Don't forget that quality is more important than quantity. People make judgments on the information you give. You will better write 4 sentences about yourself essentially than 24 "so-so" sentences. Try to realize whether you have given enough information in your ad for personals to make a decision about you.
Make sure you check your punctuation and spelling. If you're not great at spelling, a dictionary is a wise investment. Read and re-read your profile. If something sounds or looks stupid, change it.
Start meeting people without a negative. People avoid problems, but attracted to those who make them feel happy.
In your dating ad be specific about what you are looking for. Don't touch too much on what you don't like. Don't speak negatively about yourself or others. Remember there are no ideal personals, yet sometimes you can meet an ideal personal profile.
Maintain your anonymity until you feel comfortable with your potential match. Be optimistic!

I filled in my questionnaire, now what?
After you have filled in the registration form, you will be sent an activation link to the email address that you specified. To activate your profile you should click the activation link. When you activate your profile our administrator will verify that your data are in accordance with Privacy Policy of Meeting Land whereupon other Members of the Meeting Land will see your profile.

How do I place a photo?
Log into your home page at MeetingLand. Then click the link "Place/Update photos"
Photos must be of the JPG format.
Photos will be automatically resized to fit the best onto your profile.
If you have any troubles, do not hesitate to contact us.
Remember, a photo is optional but strongly recommended attribute of the profile, because profiles with photos get much more attention. Smile on the photo makes a profile magical! Qualitative photo makes the profile more effective! Avoid posting in your profile not recent photos. Refrain from using pictures that are out of date or no longer accurate. Don't worry if you don't have the sex appeal of Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, few of us really look like that anyway. None of us are perfect, and we all have things that we'd like to change. Be proud of yourself and who you are, and make sure that your pictures reflect that.
-
My photo is not uploading. What could be the problem?
Most likely because your photo is not of the JPG format or the size is too large. Photo must be less than 500k in size. If you do not have the means to adjust the size of your photo, feel free to email your photo to the photo department of MeetingLand.com. We will adjust the size and upload it for you.

I seem to time out right away on my Meeting Land Session.
The system is setup to automatically time out users for inactivity after 20 minutes. This is to keep the traffic down on the site and is standard on most sites.
