Here's your chance to make an eye-catching first impression! Compose a headline for your personal profile that makes others want to find out more about you.

We do not allow telephone numbers, street addresses, last names, URLs or real email addresses in your profile headline. Also, you may not advertise or solicit other members to buy or sell products or services.

(Enter text in the space below. Limit 128 characters, including spaces).




Express your inner self. What you enter here, though it will not be used in our Match function, is the way to let people know who you really are. Be creative! List any special interests, favorite activities, witty quotes, maybe even a poem.

Your description is free-form, but we do have a few rules to ensure everyone's safety and preserve the professionalism of Match.Com. We do not allow telephone numbers, street addresses, last names, URLs or real email addresses in your profile. Also, you may not advertise or solicit other members to buy or sell products or services.

Give it some thought, and use this opportunity to tell other members what makes you unique!(Limit 2000 characters. Formatting such as carriage returns, tabs and extra spacing is not preserved).



After you have been using Match.Com for a while, you may decide you want to put your profile temporarily on hold -- maybe you've met someone; maybe you're just getting too much email.

You can make your profile invisible with the "Hide profile" option. (You can still use Browse and Match.) If you leave this question blank, your profile will be shown.
