10 Dating Profile Headings for Software Engineers

Posted by:

I’ve been thinking about doing some online dating profile heading testing (that’s a mouthful!). I’m hoping to share the results here as I currently have a theory that weird or hard to understand headings may work as well as any other. At any rate, while thinking of a good profile heading to test out I came up with first in the list below. I thought it wasn’t too shabby and thought I could come up with nine more for a good post on developer type headings. Here’s what I’ve come up:

1. Software Developer Tired of the Singleton Pattern
I think this one is my favorite that I’ve thought of since it can be understood even if you’re not familiar with development patterns.

2. SELECT * FROM OkCupid WHERE Girl = ‘Great’;
I suppose the more romantic amoung us could add a LIMIT 1 (or TOP 1 for those Microsoft DBAs). Hopefully it goes without saying that OkCupid would be replaced with your service of choice!

3. C++ Girl Looking for A++ Guy
This one’s not that great for non-developers since you don’t want to suggest you’re a ‘C’ level person looking for an ‘A’ level partner!

4. Date GreatTime = new Date(WithMe);
For those confident individuals among us.

5. DBA Looking for Relationship Normalization
Aren’t we all looking for a little normalization in our relationships?

6. if (single) { profile.contactme! }
Perhaps this invitation is a little too open! You could always make your condition a little more strict. If you hate Ruby you can always drop the bang. Obviously Ruby works nicely here.

7. if greatGuy goto myProfile
I know, I know…using a goto is such a bad practice!

8. require ‘date’
This one’s about as simple as they get. More ruby syntax here (C#’s ‘using’ and Java’s ‘import’ just don’t work as well!)

9. Web Developer with a Great Sense of Style(sheets)
Geeky yet playful.

10. Open Beta – Looking for Some Good Testers
I don’t really like this one but I couldn’t stop at 9!


Let me say that I’m just having fun with this and I’m not suggesting anyone would have more success using these…well, maybe at Geek 2 Geek they would!

Think you can do better than this? Feel free to share it here.
