MSNBC - Feb 7 - ProfileWiz promises a 500-word custom dating profile in 5 minutes. It costs $4.75. ProfileWiz generates the profile based on answers to 22 questions. Some are big questions like, "If love was a place which would it be?" or "What does happiness mean to you?" Others are more mundane, such as "If you had an extra hour today, what would you do?" or "What do you like doing on holiday?" There are other services that offer profiles writing such as ProfileHelper.com or DatingprofileCoach.com. FULL ARTICLE @ MSNBC

Well done Web 2.0 site but these are profiles only for the incredibly lazy. Here's what I got after filling out their 22 question survey. Don't steal it!
"I'm outgoing, fun and love to socialise - going out is important to me and I'm always looking to try out the latest trendy bar. I'm very open and love to explore and try new things. I reckon I've got a pretty healthy outlook on life - I'm pretty chilled out and easy going, but also like to make the most of life. Grabbing the bull by the horns every now and again is par for the course!"
Sigh.
In other words, this the same exact profile you've read a million times on Match.com.
In life, you get what you pay for and ProfileWiz reads like a $5 profile.

Most dating site profiles are designed to extract interesting info, and useful matchmaking fodder from singles. But many people need more help and guidance. That's where the likes of the profile and coaching services come in. Everyone is unique. Most people need more help with their profiles and their photos, to put their best foot forward.
