| Why not a Dating Resume?!??
Posted: 6/8/2008 8:44:03 PM | | I think your choice of the term resume makes it to impersonal because of the connotation of the word. Nevertheless I think you are on to an important point in that it would be nice to have a summary of ourselves in a format that we could easily reuse and share with others – and in many ways our POF profile is a first step to accomplish this (or any Social Networking site such as a facebook profile). Of course a profile like a resume in order to be informative needs to be rich in content and unfortunately many of the profiles here are quite short and messaging someone with a two line description is basically a kin to going up to someone in a bar totally randomly. So the profile (or resume in your lingo) would ideally tell us something about the person’s past, who they are now, and where they want to go in life and help us make an informed decision and improve chances of their actually being a match. I can envision one day having some universal form of a personal profile that we carry with each other in some electronic form and the information is easily exchanged/accessible (POF profile on demand). | |

Relationships are highly subjective whereas jobs (and resumes) attempt to be extremely objective.
Unless you (we) are willing to spend an extremely significant amount of time, energy, and resources cataloging our own biased opinion of past relationships, values, interests, ever changing goals, as well as social and educational background, and then noting how each is weighed in importance to ourselves over time, then updating each aspect and its weight depending on mood, cynicism, jadedness, joy, paradigm shift, educational achievement, etc..., then the built in shortcuts learned through experience will have to suffice as they are much easier to use and keep updated.
Dating and communication is a mutually reviewing process.
If you are talking about a simple one page historical experience and dating skills sheet it would be pretty meaningless unless you tailored your resume for each person you seek to date, and you would have to know what skills and history they desire and that you have before you even begin to date. | |

I have indeed been to a bar where a man had with him his very own dating resume. Hand to God! It was the funniest thing I ever saw.
He had recaps of his last five relationships - length, level (lived together, casual dating, etc.) and boasted that he was a "good listener" and various other positive attributes. It read pretty much like a dating website profile but went into a little bit more detail and was on very nice letterhead.
I honestly don't believe it was a joke and he seemed quite sincere about it and who he gave it to. At the end of the night I saw him pin it to the bulletin board and write on it "I will be here on the following dates ______" Now, of course, this was the type of guy who probably needed to do some self-promotion (you can imagine the personality who'd actually carry this off in real life.) But I thought it was great fun at the time and quite original (in a super dorky kind of way.) Since then, I've thought of at least getting referral letters from old boyfriends - at least other than the ones written on the bathroom wall.  | |
