COLUMBIA NEWS SERVICE -- Mar 14-- Chase found online dating consultant Evan Marc Katz, who urged him to be honest about his athletic obsession, but to package it differently. For $1,000, Katz revamped the profile and counseled his client for several hours on how to market the Chase machismo. His E-Cyrano service offers a basic profile rewrite for $49. Profilehelper.com offers an "extreme profile makeover" for $49.95. With prices nearing the cost of a monthly dating Web site membership, profile consultants are not for the intermittent dater. "Most people don't want to cough up the extra 100 bucks," said Mark Brooks, an online personals industry analyst and editor of onlinepersonalswatch.com. The trick is simple: be honest and be specific. LookBetterOnline.com is the most successful of all profile helper sites and charges $129 per shoot. FULL ARTICLE @ COLUMBIA NEWS SERVICE
Mark Brooks: Profilehelper.com, E-cyrano.com and Lookbetteronline.com are all great services.

That seems like such a rip off paying someone to do your profile i have used a couple of sites and found that if i am just total honest i have no problem and lots of people want to contact me

I read about this on a ABC news site. I have to say that it sounds like a good idea as some people dont have the confidence or ability to write a small amount about thsmselves and get the message they want across.
