Posted: 5/28/2008 6:00:17 PM | I agree that number 3 pic is best until you get some new pics; and I want to say I'm sorry I missed the "sh1tlips" comment, because it sounds like it was funny.
OP, your profile seems perfectly nice now. I didn't make any connection to poo-poos with your screenname. You seem like an attractive woman who will get plenty of attention once you get more flattering photos posted. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 7:33:27 PM | Thank you for pointing me into the right message (4) -- I missed that part when I was skimming through replies to this review.
Still no clear idea on why anyone should be called...you know. | |

I am struggling with communicating the right message about myself. I am an independent, busy mom and career woman, have lots of friends and family, involved in outside activites.....blah, blah blah.
I don't have a date for Friday night. I miss romance in my life. But I am tired of dead end, one time wonder dates. Or guys who want to lure me into illicit chat and then disappear. I would like to meet someone that I am interested in dating more than once. Perhaps even call him a boyfriend. Who knows where it might lead??
I am not desperate but I am not on a dating site looking to add to my list of friends. How do I communicate that without looking like I have already ordered my wedding cake?
Not to discourage you at all, but there are many other women here that in your boat...has to be an oceanliner!! (not me....but I understand)
That is IT though, it just can't be a matter of discovering a formula that is guaranteed to "work" (always wondered what that meant...ehh) well guess you mean find what you want with minimal resources expended.
All I can do is relate from my own personal experience. Maybe it's JUST me..that's fine. Whenver I've wanted and been "looking" it's been the most fruitless, frustrating, and ungodly "why do I even leave the house". I don't have the patience so I throw that towel out pretty quick.
I "find" when I'm not looking...actively...open to the possibility....IF. I have things I'm doing and involved with, just happily in my life and loving it. And it just happens. Is it the "right time" am I "ready". Umm...no, because it's not even in my day planner!!
If it does, and I run across, bump into someone that sparks an interest, then I make the time. I don't abandon everything else, toss it all aside, but if there's enough to make the mutual wanting to get to know each other and see if we can fit into each others' lives..then yes, there is time for that.
You've gotten a lot of good help with your profile, and I'd have tossed in my two bits, but I really think that since you've expressed your mindset, that is what I wanted to respond to. Because it will affect how you write your profile, more importantly what you think when you don't have a date for Friday night and what you do instead of thinking "gee, I don't have a date for Friday night".
Once you have the right frame of mind, it will "color" how you write or rewrite your profile. And more importantly, why it won't be something to even talk about.  | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 9:57:26 PM | Thank you all for your comments and the time spent to review and critique. Whew, forum posts are a slow way to communicate and difficult to get the right impression across, but I find the feedback very valuable.
I have obviously ruffled a few feathers. I am sorry. I have learned some lessons and hopfully still hve some unsinged bridges. Next time I will check out the "hood a bit more before jumping right in.
I did enjoy the banter, thought it was all in fun. I never thought Mr. Pottymouth would be taken as such insult....sorry!! ( I still think it is funny...scat....sh1tlips....pottymouth!!)
Nothing personal! | |

I did make changes!! New Starbucks analogy to my personality is under construction....stay tuned! (dammit!) | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 11:11:54 PM | After a very enlightening first week or so (and an a**wuppin or two!)...I have come up with some changes, thanks to all of the feedback I have received.
Would you be so kind as to take another look? I have some very recent pics and I finally feel like I may be getting to "me"!
Thanks everyone! | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 8:03:36 PM | Miss Kaka,
Well I have to say your profile is one of the best turnarounds I’ve seen to date following the review process. It’s long enough to give us a wealth of insight into your personality without saying “I’m smrt, fun, love long walks on the beach, fun, quirky, neat, different, funny, etc”. I love the coffee analogy, but to be honest…
What you won't find out from my coffee order, but hopefully from getting to know me is that I am a warm hearted woman who listens well and values friendship. I love being feminine but not afraid to hang out with the boys. I love sports, am somewhat athletic but also enjoy downtime, cooking, movie watching, snuggling etc. My inner competitor comes out on the tennis court or in a Scrabble game. I love shoes! I make a mean chocolate chip cookie (and yes, dough snitching is allowed). I have a cozy home and enjoy entertaining family and friends. But every once in a while, if wisking me away for an overnight is your idea of fun, I have no problem grabbing my suitcase and leaving the cooking to someone else! …all this can be deduced from your coffee order as well, sorry to say! But it doesn’t really matter; it’s a winner in my books.
I’d suggest switching the last two paragraphs around so you end with the man you are seeking. Other than that you get an A in my books honey. Much love.
P.S. You're welcome! ;-) | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 8:10:35 PM | Oh I get it! You like it with me on top and the man on the bottom....ok!
I will have to work on all of that transparency....but you are unusually wise.
Seriously, thank you kind sir, for your wisdom and tuttelege (how do you spell that?)
You have been a wise master and have taught me well.
And....you are just enough of a bad boy to keep it all interesting *wink*.
Muah! | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 8:25:26 PM | I am with S.S.B. and Deuce, you have without a doubt been one of the best students I have had the pleasure to work with to date. Great profile! The way it looked though, you forgot to move the fourth paragraph up to your about you.
Go gettum darlin!
