The Perfect Profile

STEP 2 Part I

A hook is what catches someone’s attention by inspiring curiosity.

It is the very first sentence in your dating profile and is the best way to ensure that you attract
the attention of the right people and that they stick around to continue reading the rest of
your profile. The hook should include a piece of random or intriguing information, cause the
reader to smile or chuckle, or make someone pause and think twice.

Come up with 2-3 hook ideas that you really like and write them down.

*Helpful note: Review the following sample hooks from our clients, as well as the “Hook
