Give these singles a second look

Ilov, 36, dance instructor, Harlem
What happened: “I didn’t like my photo. My forehead looked large and shiny. Time Out was also kind enough to run my profile the week between Christmas and New Year’s—as a result, I received no responses.”
Why she’s worth it: “I’m a whole lot of fun and up for almost anything. I’m a great listener, as well as a great storyteller. I can hang tough with the boys or the girls. I’m the total package. Plus, I love karaoke and power tools.”

Sherry, 38, technology publicist, Chelsea
What happened: “I was happy with the text portion, but having only 50 words made it a challenge to express my personality. I wasn’t happy with the photo—even my driver’s license is more flattering.”
Why she’s worth it: “I’m intelligent, witty, creative, stylish, well-intentioned, unique, empathetic, diplomatic, intuitive, emotionally available, snarky, feisty, patient and honest. I can shift easily between high- and lowbrow, but generally avoid the hoity-toity. I enjoy watching independent film, drinking wine, eating sushi, practicing yoga, frequenting art galleries and museums, listening to ’80s alternative music, hanging with friends, going to loft parties (especially if I can be on the roof during summer), and participating in large, often unsanctioned, sometimes disastrous art projects and public spectacles. I play classical piano, have a very distinctive laugh, which I exercise frequently and with glee, and I’m resourceful enough that I’ve managed to turn my thrift-shopping hobby into a part-time job. I used to go to lots of rock shows, and wouldn’t mind revisiting that pastime. I’m often told I have really soft skin, and I get lots of compliments on my legs, too.”

Tanner, 26, Entertainment Weekly correspondent; Astoria, Queens
What happened: “I didn’t get a single e-mail. I guess my profile was too boring and predictable. Or too sweet? My photo also made me look like a cheesy game-show host.”
Why he’s worth it: “I pride myself on being a full-body dancer and I look hot in a deep V. If nothing else, you can use me for my amazing DVD collection. The Golden Girls season four, anyone? Anyone?”
