| Tick tock, the time has come! Grab your bibs and steak knives, and show me what you’re made of!
Posted: 6/20/2008 6:13:55 PM | DUDE...you have more changes than Cher at her last 14 Final Farewell Concerts!! Sheesh you are hard to keep up with, for an old hen like myself. I'd say harder to keep up with than a $10 crack whore on roller skates....but I have no idea what that means. (yeah I know..don't ask)
Alrighty now that I've settled down with my Southern Comfort/Geritol.....it's fabulous, awesome, brilliant, eloquent, all those things you paid me...I mean aske..I mean I sincerely wanted to say. That's the good...the bad is...well I like cheesecake, no love it really. But just a slice is enough, I couldn't eat half of a whole one. Your profile is a whole cheesecake, rich and yummy, but a bit much to digest in one sitting.
I couldn't begin to suggest how to winnow it down, I would however suggest keeping it on the lighter side. Too many "big" words (meaning more than four letters..haha) too intellectual....it will filter out the airheads. I'd do Duece Lite....greater taste, less filling.

First of all, lose the pic with the shades-too sexy.
Secondly, the comment about joining you in the potato field has to go-too flirtatious.
Hmmm...how else can I help you attract fewer women... Ok, Demi got away with it, but I'll stick to my age bracket. I tried...
In all seriousness, Deuce, it was very entertaining. I couldn't wait to read what you had to say next. It was refreshing to read a profile with substance. What it said to me was, "I have something to offer."
Not unlike the others, I raised an eyebrow and stopped dead in my tracks when I got to the...long walks on the beach, but after reading with interest until that point, the light went on and something said, "OK, what gives..." You made your point AND said something about yourself without getting up on the podium or going into some long-winded spiel.
-Catchy screen name.
The smoothie analogy-got the point and needed to be said. You have a long list of specific qualities you're looking for. Some good women may have screened themselves out of the running had you not.
Well done, Deuce. I hope you find that special someone. | |

For some reason this fellow (calamarichris) viewed me recently, and I thought his photo line-up is worth sharing. Wacky and clever and perhaps worth emulating.
My sousaphone is not available to borrow. Gitcher own!

Posted: 6/21/2008 10:00:02 AM | Deuce I've ben watching this thread since the first couple of posts. Since then I've read a few of the additional posts and some of your responses to same. Let me back up a minute. . . The reason I didn't chime it right away is because I didn't think I could offer any help although, I wasn't exactly sure why I felt that way. Looking at it a day later has helped me to understand my motivations. I actually seldom take on a profile that presents such an onslaught of information, but when I do, I can be a bit snarky. I was a little hesitant to unload snark on you, because of our online friendship. That sir, would be doing you a disservice.
About Me:
Dude, you really need to develop a feel for when it's time to stop typing.
One ventures into the realm of online dating and thinks to himself "self... what could be so much further from reality than online dating?". The answer? Who cares! Delete this. It's unnecessary fluff and a waste of your reader's time.
When I'm not fixing up neighbourhoods and feeding starving children I'm out... well, okay, so my off time isn't THAT exciting either! I'm a fun-loving, spontaneous, introverted extrovert. I'm a walking contradiction. I'm the guy your mom wants you to meet from her business luncheon, but the one your father fears. Small children and kittens smile and coo in my presence, yet large men cower with intimidation. I am a confident, grounded man who knows what he wants in life, in most aspects, and is well on his way to achieving said success. Care to join me on my journey and dispel the critics? The****it is rather shoddy but I assure you the ride more than compensates for the lack of pizazz found in the fabric. Keep it. It's a near-perfect opening paragraph. Don't change a word.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, sailing the coastline under moonlit guidance, nursing bear cubs back to life, and all the pleasantries an ethnic market contains. And then I get off the pot, secure my shorts, and the real man steps to the plate. You'll rarely catch me in a bad mood or having an off moment; my cup isn't half full... it spilleth over. I am a foodie. One glance at my incongruous gut would likely entice a belly laugh of your own followed by a teamingly sarcastic "really?!". Yes, I love food, but more importantly I love experiencing new foods. Ethnic, domestic, you name it I want it on my palate. I crave experience and my kids are killing me slowly, bit by bit, with their incessant demands for McDonald's drivethru. Oi vey. This is a rambling rant that I woudln't accept from anyone. It needs to be edited for logical flow and reduced by at least half. After that, I let you know if it needs a full delete.
When I'm not scoping new restaurants, which I'll admit does not actually take up that much of my time, I enjoy being outdoors, swimming, play structures (with the kidlets obviously, but a sensational woman suffice well here), motorcycles, travel to faraway places, and the uncharacteristic home renovations and decor. The generic cliche interests also apply to this cat, with writing, reading and arithmetic being atop the list, although I do little of either three. Movies are a private vice of mine though, and my collection is spewing over the brim. Can I interest you in some second-hand, third-party, out-of-province chick flicks? Delete the bolded info. In a few years ,you'll blame much of the above typing for your carpal-tunnel syndrome. Unfortunately, you'll never get those keystrokes back.
I'm house-broken, good with children, Stop right there. You have mentioned children for the second time and I need to remind you that your reader is a woman whom you have yet to meet. There's no way you're getting anywhere near her children and she's got that on her mind already. If you're smart, you'd have the same policy in effect for the protection of your own children. As a minor concern, lest she get the impression you're shopping for a surrogate mom. A very wise reviewer once indicated that children don't belong on a dating profile. He was talking about pictures, but I believe the sentiment applies to text for most of the same reasons. Deuce, I'm pretty sure it was you who said that.
get along with other animals, am all up-to-date on my shots, non-shedding, and hypoallergenic. I don't bark OR bite, I'm fiercely loyal and altruistic to a fault, and love a good frolic in the park. And I catch a mean ball or frisbee but haven't mastered the whole teeth thing yet. ;-) Did I mention I smell good too? This is OK, but I think it reflects a change in theme that doesn't work well as a follower to what I suggested you keep. Save the paragraph (sans the kid stuff) for a different version of your profile. You and I both know that you'll do periodic rewrites. It's good stuff, just too much for now.
At last, the part you've been waiting for. Fluff, delete.
Who are you? Honestly, do I need to remind you who you are? Well in case you've lost your bearing let me remind you: Dangerously close to fluff, but I'm going to allow it due to personal bias. There's only one of those cards in the deck though, let's see if we've played it too soon.
you are wildly intellectual but brazenly sexy, compassionate, quietly outgoing but not a social butterfly, and you lack trepidation. You are curious, inquisitive, and demure. You're a woman who knows no boundaries, yet does not know just how brilliant or attractive a person, in every facet, she truly is. You are ambitious, headstrong, witty, and open-minded. You are classy and elegant, yet you laugh at the crudest of toilet humour and enjoy a quiet night in with some homemade pizza, wings, caesar salad, and red wine all made from scratch via this chef du jour. Okay, so I didn't raise the chickens or the beef in the pepperoni, or pasteurize the cheese personally, but the all the vegetables, wine, dressings, sauces, and thought that went into the meal were either grown or concocted by yours truly. But most importantly, you are not necessarily all of these things mind you, but any solid combination of the lot. Let's face it, the best smoothies are not those made with all the fruits of the forest but a good selection of two or three. Which two or three berries would you be? You shifted focus, you self-centered twit. Sorry, the bias card was played earlier. The entire profile is about you and you were supposed to reserve a section for her. What did you do? Seriously though, do you think your female reader has had to deal with a male or several who has trouble focusing on her needs? It's a minefield and you're tapdancing on a Bouncing Betty.
You should be someone who is driven by success but willing to stop and smell the roses along the way. You will likely know what you want out of life, as well as a potential relationship, and are not afraid to reach out and seize it. You aren't afraid of commitment or affection, or your significant other venturing out into the great unknown without you. You are confident in your relationships and trusting, yet willing to take risks. And most importantly you've got room in your life for one more... and at some point three. Have you met your future best friend? The longer you keep droning on, the more specific and exclusive your description becomes. The purpose is for her to see herself within the nuances of the description. A description this long loses all nuance. Dial it down (delete at least half), but save the text for a future rewrite.
And out of the wash you'll discover that I'm not really the elusive Big Game Hunter, but at any given moment I am one of: a QA Manager, Arm-chair Psychologist, or Father Extraordinaire. I've been christened a jack-of-all-trades... care to help further a repertoire with me? Stop it, just stop.
First Date:
If you're at all familiar with my work, you know that I seldom go here. I only do when I see a passenger car stalled at the crossing.
I had whittled a three-sided die for this occasion but honestly it looked strange and didn't sit well on the table, not to mention left irritating marks in my leg when I tucked it in my pocket. So I decided to scrap that plan and go with the standard die. Here are the available options:
Date number 1
We meet at the Forks where we grab a latte from a vendor in the concourse and wander through the merchants looking for quirky trinkets. You tell me stories and I laugh at your jokes, then we switch! We proceed over to the Esplanade Riel (yes I know it's a trek, bear with me) where we grab an order of Dipping Dots from the lone classy Salisbury House in the world, and sit out on the patio overlooking the river while some Jazz band plays in the background. I like to start with dessert and work backwards; it's more fun. We'll walk to Hu's on First, grab some fine Asian fusion cuisine, and then after we finish our salads and bread we can skip down to the salsa bar a few blocks down where you can teach me to salsa. You CAN salsa right? Me neither! I warn you though, I cut a mean rug, but I tend to use the wrong tools.
The night is capped by a coffee, again via a vendor and maybe some street meat, and I'll hold your hand and offer my jacket while we wait for the cab back to our cars. I'll be a dork and avoid the kiss and you'll plant one on me anyway, playing right into my master plan, and we'll suggest simultaneously that we should do this again. Is it wrong for a 28-year-old to jinx others still?
I've avoided the other five options. Why? Because the die is loaded my friend. Thank goodness for Spencer gifts, as this character always wins now! For dates 2-6 you'll just have to tune in my new lady friend.
If your game is strong and you'd like to one-up me then might I suggest you appear on a first meet or date with your best interpretation of three-sided die. Show me what you've got! Delete the bold. It's fluff man, and I suspect that you'd say the same to anyone else. It's great that there's so much going on in that noggin of yours but you have to remember this is advertising. Some blank space is good and what you have here is a Dr Bonner's label.
Here's the effed-up part. I'm about to post this, then see if all my formatting tags worked. If they didn't, I have to activate the editing panel which screws them up even more. Why Deuce, why did you do this to me?

Do you still think I should delete it?
Hmmmmmmm, well, maybe I am just not "getting" the "nursing bear cubs" and "ethnic markets" part. If I understood you correctly, it was to poke fun at all those that write "those things"? Right". If I am not wrong about that, then I think where you lost me was with the bear cubs and ethnic markets. If you want to poke fun, then be consistent, and rather than the two afformentioned items add , candle lite dinners, and romantic dinners for example?
Am I misunderstanding something here?

Posted: 6/21/2008 9:32:20 PM | Hey Duece, I have finally made it when I have enough time to do your profile right.
One ventures into the realm of online dating and thinks to himself "self... what could be so much further from reality than online dating?". The answer? Who cares!
Is this done in a more creative way than most? Absolutely. But it is still stating the obvious. I think you need to loose it.
<div class='quote'>[bold] I am a foodie.[/bold] One glance at my incongruous gut would likely entice a belly laugh of your own followed by a teamingly sarcastic "really?!". [bold]Yes, I love food, but more importantly[/bold] I love experiencing new foods. Ethnic, domestic, you name it I want it on my palate.
If this works properly, the first bolded line, should be dropped down to replace the second bolded line, which is made redundent, by the line that follows it.
Going to run a test to see if this works. LMAO
Edit: glad I did spend an hour for that! lol | |

With all due respect Ofcb, he simply canNOT lose that line! It sets the tone and sets him apart. You start out thinking...hmm...interesting...sounds rather intellectual...and then out of nowhere he throws a curveball! With just a touch of attitude. | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 12:08:37 AM | I have to agree with OFCB on this one. I just don't get the "who cares" part. When I read that first line, I thought, "what the heck is Deuce doing putting in a bit about the ole' I don't have much time to date so I guess I will try the whole online thing".
I know this is not Deuce's intent, but impression is what it is all about. I don't think that starter line adds much (his personality shines through and sets him apart in the rest of the work) and the risk is he is initially seen as one of the masses until he proves himself otherwise.
Another free opinion! | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 2:45:55 AM | ^^ I dont like the who cares part but I like the rest of the line, i think its worded really well. I dont think the fluff matters as its worded in his own style and with a long profile it leads you along. If someone is genuinely willing to read the whole thing they wont mind a bit of fluff.
I think we've got a problem here....we barely seem to agree on anything!
Normally a profile is bad enough that we're all pretty much saying the same thing. We all seem to be seeing this on different levels and doubt that even 90% of the pof population are up to our standard of profile analysis especially with something this complex in nature. It's not meant to be read a line at a time. Read it in one go, have a great impression, certain things stick in the mind is my general opinion.
this earlier statement from deuce illustrates this point
Do you have ANY idea how many comments I get from women on that dog paragraph?! It is the lone thing I took from my previous profile for that simple reason.
This will be one of the things that stuck in the mind. Its possible there's too much and nothing sticks in the mind. The only measure of that is what comments he gets. If it's none, there's probably too much here. Anything that illicits unsolicited comment from females is a holy grail of profiles. pof seems to me to be a particularly difficult crowd to get unsolicited messages from (based on experience with other sites). | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 6:18:53 AM | Well, I am a bit late in coming upon this this thread, but unlike many here, I am not acquainted with you well enough for it to affect my observations.
I will address this top, down for the sake of continuity.
The main pic. (The B&W with the "Spuds" comment.) You appear to have doctored the photo some which in itself would not be a problem except that the way it was done is distracting to the eye in a negative manner. The main distraction is the deep black lines on the left ear (right side of photo) and the right ear and forehead up into the start of the hairline. The lines are not anti-aliased and draw attention away from the face. It also appears you lightened the background to create a starker contrast to your face. A good idea if done well, but my guess is the black lines are there to cover up where you accidentally lightened the edges of your ears and forehead. Re-edit the photo, or just use the unaltered version.
Change the profession to what you really do. You have ample opportunity to showcase your brand of humor in your description... which you have opted to do.
Now for the "About me" section. While I agree that profile length is not necessarily an issue if it illustrates the person in question and is both compelling and well done, the problem is not the length. The problem is the presentation and use of said length. The immediate impression the eye is hit with before the words come into focus is giant blocks of black text. It is a standard rule of writing: do not forget the value of whitespace!
While some of the paragraphs are not terribly lengthy, it could still use some breaking up for both clarity of flow and for the visual aesthetic.
That said, instead of clarity of flow, you instead have static. You throw a bunch of seemingly disjointed thoughts at the reader which do not even have the merit of free association. Allow me to illustrate...
The opening may show humor and set some tone, but it is SO far detached from anything else you talk about that it is immediately detracting from a semblance of flow.
The second paragraph has a change of tone from a humorous presentation ending with "...yet large men cower with intimidation..." to a more serious tone with "...I am a confident, grounded man...". Which might be a good opportunity for a paragraph break, yet then you leap right back to more humor; humor of a different slant and tone.
While your particular bent of humor may be an actual representation of how you are in person, and while it may be much better in person where you have the added benefit of contextual events, body language, and tone of voice, it does not present as well written. At best it attains "cutsie" or "raised eyebrow", but mostly just says you were so invested in *trying* to be funny and original, that you forgot to write a description which paints any kind of clear picture of you. I believe I have seen it suggested in other review threads here that "If you are not naturally good at humor, don't use it in your profile." And "When using humor, LESS is more."
The focus is supposed to be about you, not your attempts at humor. You say it was a theme of "going over the top" referring to the "walks on the beach" stuff. Unfortunately, that "over the top" applies to your overuse of humor.
You present as having that "bunch of stuff" in your head that you alluded to in one of your replies here, but your profile is not the place for doing that. Sit down, pull your thoughts together until they finally congeal into a single unified lucid representation of who you are, what you are about, what you have to offer, and what you are seeking in your potential partner... then write THAT instead.
Heck, presently, some parts of your description feel far less like reading a paragraph, and far more like reading a bullet point list crammed into paragraph format.
You mentioned that the "house-broken" paragraph is the one part you kept for it's demonstrated measure of success. Well then why not use THAT as your opening??? It manages to showcase your sense of humor more than well enough that if the remainder of your description was serious, the initial effect of that used as your opening would likely carry on through the rest of your profile.
For the "First Date" area, I simply suggest reducing it to the edited quote which follows...
We meet at the Forks where we grab a latte from a vendor in the concourse and wander through the merchants looking for quirky trinkets. You tell me stories and I laugh at your jokes, then we switch! We proceed over to the Esplanade Riel (yes I know it's a trek, bear with me) where we grab an order of Dipping Dots from the lone classy Salisbury House in the world, and sit out on the patio overlooking the river while some Jazz band plays in the background.

Grammar wise, as shadow has already pointed out, you go from 2nd to 3rd person within the same sentence: "**YOU'RE**(2nd person) a woman who knows no boundaries, yet does not know just how brilliant or attractive a person, in every facet, **SHE**(3rd person) truly is." ...Change the third person to the 2nd person "you truly are." ...Did someone forget to proofread pray tell?
Technically you have a negative, though well masked and masquerading as a positive. Namely, "You aren't afraid of ... your significant other venturing out into the great unknown without you." aka "No one with jealous insecurities." And since it is clear that you are seeking a woman of intelligence, had you not considered that her intelligence would also likely give her the savvy to pick up on that? Even if only subconsciously?
Yeah, sure. I'm NOT a woman, and not your target audience (cause boy would THAT get awkward) as you stated to Bookrat:
However, we are both male and I’m not seeking either one of us, or any man for that matter.
Well, you lost your right to that argument the moment you began doing your own critiques of the profiles of other males. Yup. You guessed it, they weren't seeking you either. ;P
Hopefully you will not perceive this as acerbic. At worst I just did not "pussy foot" (as requested). Naturally you are welcome to disagree, and to do, or not do whatever you like with my suggestions. Honestly, I hope you find this helpful, and I will close by suggesting that if you make no other change, that you make that "house-broken" paragraph your opening for the reasons already stated. | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 6:44:29 AM | I am a little bit turned on right now.
Couple of points: "I don't bark OR bite, I'm fiercely loyal..." . Yet to meet someone that actually minded a bit of biting and the whole loyal thing generally should not be said.
You start a lot of sentences with 'and'- and one whole paragaph with it. Generally poor form, it stands out in something otherwise well written.
'Drivethru' made me angry and there are a handful of other spelling dramas. Do Canastadians use English or American? | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 9:12:42 AM | Uncle, do you mind pointing out these spelling "dramas" so when I do post the new revision later on it is free and clear? I went back and took a quick look and yes drivethru somehow evaded Microsoft Word's broom, as did pizazz. But firefox spells them differently than Word does I see now! It's nice that everyone agrees on spelling, isn't it?! What is a Canastadian though? That's a new one to me! LOL
I'm sorry I haven't been able to revise this whole thing here this weekend. It's been a crazy one but when I get a few more minutes than two or three to sit and check my mail I'll git er dun and post back for round two. | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 6:30:31 PM | Alright. I've had a little time to go through it and remove some of the aforementioned fluff and comic relief. I've taken much of the criticism and applied many of the suggested changes but I have a few questions, and one challenge, if you will.
My profile was never intended to be revered or applauded by all. A profile to me is a reflection of a person but it is also a filtering mechanism. Now, three of you have suggested I stick with a certain paragraph as my first one, and two of you said that that paragraph should NOT be removed for anything, yet you all have disagreed on what the others have said they would keep. So to the readers... which paragraph would you say would be putting my best foot forward:
Option A
One ventures into the realm of online dating and thinks to himself "self... what could be further from reality than online dating?”, but does it really matter? This atmosphere is too much fun!
Option B
When I'm not fixing up neighbourhoods and feeding starving children I'm out... well, okay, so my off time isn't THAT exciting either! I'm a fun-loving, spontaneous, introverted extrovert. I'm a walking contradiction. I'm the guy your mom wants you to meet from her business luncheon, but the one your father fears. Small children and kittens smile and coo in my presence, yet large men cower with intimidation. I am a confident, grounded man who knows what he wants in life, in most aspects, and is well on his way to achieving said success. Care to join me on my journey and dispel the critics? The cockpit is rather shoddy but I assure you the ride more than compensates for the lack of pizazz found in the fabric.
Option C
I'm house-broken, good with children, get along with other animals, am all up-to-date on my shots, non-shedding, and hypoallergenic. I don't bark OR bite, am fiercely loyal and altruistic to a fault, and love a good frolic in the park. I also catch a mean ball or frisbee but haven't mastered the whole teeth thing yet. ;-) Did I mention I smell good too?
Also...
you are not naturally good at humor, don't use it in your profile. I think this is the first time someone has ever tried to tell me that my attempt at humour wasn't heard, it failed, or that my sense of humour doesn't come through in my writing. Interesting.
since it is clear that you are seeking a woman of intelligence, had you not considered that her intelligence would also likely give her the savvy to pick up on that? Even if only subconsciously? Honestly Omniminded, as a reviewer I constantly tell people to ixnay the egativity-nay and reframe the statements using a positive spin. These statements are masking a negative, sure, but should all of those be left out then? If that's the case almost everything in a person's profile could be considered hiding a negative. What are your thoughts? | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 6:37:04 PM | Sorry, forgot to mention something but didn't want to edit as there are a lot of tags in that last one!
Someone mentioned my main pic looking doctored. I posted after I added the picture as per a number of requests that it was taken with a Blackberry. The quality isn't bad but they do look a little digitized sometimes. But the problems you see with the picture here are merely POF's crappy photo engine, as in Picasa the picture looks fine. | |

Posted: 6/22/2008 7:04:53 PM | Option B gets my vote, with a strong no on A and a close second on C.
Not helpful, I know!
Here's a challenge, get Bucsgirl, Veloise and Lola to weigh in and then go with their choice! If they say A, go with A.
Ever feel like you are piece of profile meat, being torn to shreds by the literary wanna-be masses??
(I'll just crawl into the corner and gnaw on my own little shred for a while!) | |

Ever feel like you are piece of profile meat, being torn to shreds by the literary wanna-be masses?? Why do you think I posted this thread in the first place?! I'm doing a public service of sorts, and I'm gaining some valuable perspective as well. You can take all the positive comments you get and weigh on them but you never know about the things people who click away from your profile might be saying about it. For all the messages I do get I could be getting a hundred women for each message who look at the profile and throw up in their mouth, or feel like a piece of them just died. I could be a major time suck for all I know! I just know the positive effects the profiles I've created have had and really that is all that has mattered up until now, but through this process I get to see the other side perhaps. | |
