I was jealous of my brother having a girlfriend. I turned to online dating for not driving. I put thoughts into trying bars for 2 years since New Jersey had the indoor smoking ban.

In the real world I can't find any of those adult girls available for me. I find them all take and it's always a rush to get married.

I do have an account on myspace. I have been on that site getting many bogus friend requests.

Hey Demo, you still have not sent me that note. Do you really have family that will help you? If you don't, I only live a couple hours from you, and could come and help you set up an account on one of those other sites you have been given. If you need help like that, write me at my personal e-mail, so we can set up a time to do that.
A positive additude can take you far in life buddy, but only you are able to maintain that positive additude.
As deuce said, CHIN UP! And keep those shoulders back as well!

Best wishes

I can get in conatct with you old fash couboy as you don't smoke. Other than use this site I will ask for friends and family to take me to places.

I tried many other match making sites and most of them cost money. I shouldn't give this site up. I am having people help me and I even have a nun's help and she's in prayer of me. The ministers helping me are even in prayers for me.

Hey, that's great demo! I am very happy to hear that you have help when you need it. Do the preachers and the nun know that you have a profile here demo? If they don't I really think you should talk to one of them about it. I am afraid that being here is damaging your self asteem, and is not helping your outlook on life. There are a lot of people here that would like nothing better than to see a VERY HAPPY demolition man. But unfortunately, we are very limited what we can do to help you. Please go to someone you trust, explain to them what you are doing, and I feel sure that they will be able to help you.

Best wishes demo

Jerry

Yes they know I use this site. I gave them a list of my profiles to take a look at them. Maybe it's my profile that girls aren't interested in me. I should not give up this site.

Tell you what Demo... I'm going to get home tonight after I finish siding a house. I'm going to eat dinner. I'm going to load the dishwasher. And then I'm going to rewrite your about me for you, as well as your first date. Then you can just post it in. Maybe you want to send me your password to your account via email and I can simply upload it all for you and then you can go ahead and change your password after I finish. It's up to you. I'm willing to do either or here for you, but if I put in the effort I hope you will take the profile and try it out. Will you do that for me? I'll do it for you buddy.

Alright big guy... here it is. I don't know much about you so everything I wrote i wrote based on what I've learned about you so far.

Headline
Kindred spirit required: Apply within


Interests
Movies, Books, Swimming, Comics, Cycling, Wrestling, Hiking, The Beach, Dogs, Long Hair, Fan Fiction, Star Wars, Video Games, Boating, Cottage Life


About Me
This online dating thing is like a jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces painted white; you spend so much time trying find a piece that is only slightly different than the next piece, but yet has one of those spikey tips on it, and I think I saw one of my dogs chewing on that piece last night!

Some people claim to be individuals but I just claim to be me. I’m a presence, so I’m told. At my height I’m forced to see the world through different shades and honestly I love nothing more than to just take in the day and seize the moment. I’ve got two dogs who are like my family, both female pugs. They keep me active hiking and cycling the streets of Flemington, or out at my summer house on Long Beach Island. Do you like the feeling of sand between your toes?

I’m also a man of the sea. Much of the summer months that aren’t spent on the beach are spent on the ocean in the boat, cruising the shorelines and checking out the sights and splendors of the East Coast. I’m at one with the water, and the sea is my oyster. If I'm not on the water I'm frolicking in it usually!

When I’m not out playing with the dogs or enjoying the scenery and fresh air I’m embracing my inner geekdom. I read somewhere geeks are quickly becoming the new George Clooney’s of this world, ready to take it by storm with all their sex appeal steaming up the ComiCon’s. While I’m not extreme in the sense that I speak in Klingon tongues and do the whole cosplay routine I do enjoy the standard geek fare: comics, video games, and Fan Fiction. I’ve got a passion for writing Fan Fiction; I love it. I’ve also got ambitions to go back to school in the near future and further my education.

I’m a gentle giant, and I’m a simple man. The small things in life entertain me and keep me wanting more. I’m open-minded, colourful, and did I mention really tall?

The woman I seek is a kindred spirit. As I’m taller I’d like a woman with a little height to her but ultimately a woman at 5’0” has just as much love and affection to give as someone at 6’2”. She should be open-minded and fun-loving, and be into nature and all the adventure that it provides us. A gamer girl would be wonderful but so long as she is comfortable with the idea that I like to game on occasion is enough in my eyes.


First Date
Why don’t we meet up at the park on bikes and take a tour of a part of the city neither of us is familiar with. We can stop off for refreshments along the way and enjoy an ice cream cone together to cool off. We can sit on a park bench and soak up the sun, giving us time to get to know each other better. After it’s off to the bowling lane where you can school me with your moves. Watch out… I throw a mean gutter ball.


Mail Restrictions
Age 18-29
Live in the United States
Must not smoke
Must not be married
Must not do drugs


Ditch the intimate encounters, the picture, and hte distance filters. You can self-filter these out and besides there are PLENTY of pretty girls out there with no pictures, and i think you want to attract and allow as many as possible to email you.

Another idea would be to change your name to something less aggressive. How about Tiny Seaman? Yes, I know the connotation but it's funny and fitting and it'll attract attention. Also, go with picture number three (the one that says “this is me with the older pug”) as your main, and lose the fourth picture. It makes you look REALLY wide because it’s cropped so thin and this photo software sucks here.

Just copy and paste each of the sections into your profile demo and hopefully this helps you. Next we should work on your first contact emails. Get this done and then get back to us for more help.

Nice edits ACe. But....

Tiny Seaman? Cmon! We can do better than that!

How about... "Pugnacious...NOT"

A little play on words there. Pug...haha?

The headline could read:

"They say dogs tend to look like their owners..."

Those pugs are so much about who Demo is!!

C'mon Kaka....Tiny Seaman is the perfect play on words! He's freakishly large at 6'6"! He's a pillar. He loves the sea. And you have to admit the name is funny! It'll cause a reaction in a woman that may make her jump to his page. And honestly, do you really want people comparing him to a Pug? Have you seen a Pug before? They aren't exactly considered the most attractive! In fact they are loved by many because they are so ugly that it makes them cute with their smashed up black faces and their big goofy smiles and those eyes that look like they were taped to the sides of their skulls! Not exactly the visual I'd like to project to a potential date!

Demo, I see you've transplanted the About Me and First Date sections but you've not changed the headline, user name, pictures, or interests. You need to do the headline and username almost more than you do the body of text because this is what gets people in to look at you. As it stands right now you likely will have little luck getting people to click on your page with that headline and a name like demolition.

Deuce, deuce, deuce...
You know I am your biggest fan, but I am going to have to see your penis and raise you one vagina! It is not a literal connection to the Pug but a subliminal one. Most women love dogs and love men that love dogs. Not sure how many are looking out for a visual of anything tiny. Maybe I missed your joke somewhere? My likening Demo to his Pug was similar to you calling him Tiny~in jest! However, I disagree with your assessment of the looks of pugs. They are adorable for their unusualness (and yes, even way out west in Cali we have been known to have a Pug sighting or two...however the little buggers are too chubby to be a purse dog!)

The point is Demo, you have some great choices and Deuce did a great job for your profile revision.

Go forth and be fertile!!

I just read all that you all did to help Demo. Maybe a little more help would be beneficial here.

Maybe he like me, doesn't know how to change his Username.

I, also, want to say, I'm impressed by his capacity for spelling and typing correctly. He definitly has that going for him. I'm particularly commenting on this, because so often in this forum, the advice is given to spell words corectly. And, when I see the "u's" and the "wat's", in a profile, I do wonder if the person went to any school of any sort in the USA, and Demo avoids all that.

I personally dislike the username he chose. And I have no undersstanding as to why it was chosen, except to think of a video game, or something.

Demo...I just want to say directly to you..."Good Work."

:) Leigh

Yes big guy you should. It's hard work for a guy to get contact emails on this site so that is your first line of offense.

I don't think I get any unsolicited emails :) So it's not just you Demo...

As previously mentioned, as men, we gotta step up and send the first email, go for it!
