PersonalsTrainer.com is a pioneer in the world of online dating, bringing expert advice and help to users of online dating websites big and small. PersonalsTrainer.com exists because writing a good online personal ad is surprisingly hard to do. Our mission is to deliver on the promise of online dating, by helping people create ads and messages that make them as appealing online as they are in person.

The Personals Trainers are a carefully-selected team of advisors whose opinions we trust. Each Personals Trainer is carefully selected for their special mix of professional writing experience, online dating experience, and unusually intuitive understanding of what it takes to express a personality effectively in writing. Combine all that with the specialized techniques developed by the PersonalsTrainer.com company, and you've got some good, solid advice that's ready to use.

All of our Personals Trainers are experienced, skilled writers who can help you improve your online dating profile. The Star Trainers are a special group with unique skills, training, or experience that makes them stand out at the top of their field. For personal attention and a truly high-end experience, choose one of our Star Trainers.

We introduce new Star Trainers throughout the year. Stars previously featured on PersonalsTrainer.com include noted radio personality Dr. Judy, Sex and the City writer Aury Wallington, Lynn Harris, creator of Oxygen Media's Breakup Girl, dating-advice authors Elina & Leah Furman, and Men's Health Magazine editor Ron Geraci.

Much as we wish we could guarantee our clients' success in dating, we realize that the process of meeting the right partner is complicated and unpredictable. It's just not possible for anyone to guarantee that they'll deliver the perfect date to your doorstep.

That said, having a well-written profile is a critical step in the right direction, and based on the feedback we've gotten from our clients, we're confident that our advice is the best way to get a great profile.

If you're concerned that you'll want changes to the profile your Personals Trainer creates, consider our Gold package, which includes a second draft at no additional charge. If you're in any way unsatisfied with the first essay your Trainer writes, you can request that it be rewritten completely.

Most orders can be completed within three days. Gold orders, which include a telephone interview with your Personals Trainer, and up to two drafts of your new profile, may take longer, depending on when you and your Personals Trainer schedule your interview. In general, you should receive your first Gold draft within three days following your interview.

Which site you feel comfortable using is a very personal decision. One great way to decide if a site is a good fit for you is to do a little window-shopping. That is, use the site's free search feature to see if there's a good-sized group of people that you'd be interested in contacting. Most dating sites will require you to register (and pay) if you decide to get in touch with their members, but at that point, you'll already know you've found a site that's worth your time.
