Will Salman be Joining AsianD8…?

The enigma that is the on-off relationship of Bollywood super couple Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif is one that is difficult to keep up with at the best of times. However, with the Diwali release of Katrina’s new film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ played alongside Salman’s long-term nemesis Shah Rukh, could this finally spell curtains for the on-off super couple? If so, will Salman be turning to Asian D8 in the search of a fresh, new relationship?

Honestly, we don’t know. However, for a bit of fun it would be interesting to breakdown and analyse what an account set-up by Salman would actually look like. Being a high value individual would he feel the need to advertise himself heavily, would he play it cool and be Mr.Freeze, perhaps a hint or two of a some exciting successes’ or just a basic profile to first ‘see what is out there’? Well, here are my thoughts, please consider each one and perhaps you’ll find some hints and tips for making the most of your current online dating profile.

PICTURES – Knowing Sallu, he would not be shy in ripping that shirt off at the first possible opportunity, however, I don’t think his picture would be of this sort. I think if he is serious about finding someone he is more likely to have smart, dressed-up pictures, a few snaps from his portfolio of his travels to reflect his lifestyle, all topped-off with a shot of him in one of his famous ‘Being Human’ charitable foundation t-shirts – This would allow someone looking at his profile to get a real feel for his values, in addition to the t-shirt shot showing off enough of his guns, in a classy fashion, to reflect that yes he likes to look after himself (but definitely no shirt off pic).

 

BASIC INFORMATION – These are elements of an online profile that you simply cannot change about yourself, you are what you are. Even though Salman isn’t the tallest, he would not feel the need to add a few inches, after all when he meets women in person, it will be plain to see his height. And truthfully this never stopped him from going for what he wants, Katrina being a good inch or two taller. So be honest and don’t be afraid to go for what you want. This brings us nicely to the….

I AM LOOKING FOR – I think he would be clear as to what he wanted to find eg. Marriage (unlikely for 46 year old bachelor Sallu), dating, friendship, etc. I don’t think he would have the time to be ‘open to all’. As such be clear, know what you want, after all you can get what you want until you know what it is you’re after.

IN MY OWN WORDS – I AM… – The real body of the profile and the chance to sell yourself to potential partners. However, there is a thin line between subtle success stories and out right arrogance. For example, Sallu would have ‘Actor’ as his profession, although he would not go on to inform us of all his blockbuster movies, the gross he made for his last film or big money-spinning developments in the pipeline, I suspect he would play down his strengths and keep you intrigued wanting to know more. In fact, if you didn’t know who he was and you were to ask him ‘What kind of acting do you do?’ I am confident he would not reply “Have you not heard of my box office record-breaking super hits ‘Dabaang’ or ‘Bodyguard’?” I suspect his answer would be more along the line of a polite smile and the reply ‘Probably bad acting to be honest :) ’. However, I am sure he would not be afraid to go on and talk about ambitions for movies he would like to make – after all it is attractive to see an ambitious individual always striving for more.

MEMBERSHIP – Salman would want the most out of his experience with Asian D8, so it would have to be the Premium Option. This would also give him the chance to make an impact face-to-face at singles events with the generous 20% discount (he is Asian after all and we Asians certainly do love a discount). Also, not being one to shy away from the spotlight, the profile highlight wouldn’t be too bad either, with right pictures up as mentioned earlier, this certainly would catch the eyes of many potential partners ;-)

Well I hope stepping out of your own shoes and thinking about how someone else would set-up their online dating profile has left you with some food for thought. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will ensure I answer every single one. Regards, The Asian Hitch.
