Posted: 10/21/2008 5:02:05 PM | I wish I could say that I am different and unique from other guys. Truth is, I probably don't have anything special to offer right now. But there's supposed to be someone for everyone right? haha, we'll see :).
never include anything negative, self denigrating, or apologetic in a profile. Keep it upbeat and confident.
I would like a girl that is either comfortable with silence at appropriate times, or that likes to talk a lot and doesn't expect a lot of chattiness back :). I have a lot to share, but don't always use a lot of words to portray it. I would like a girl that knows how to just have fun. I would like a girl that can get into very deep conversations about anything from politics to history to religion to philosophy to whatever, but who can also just be silly and goof around. I don't particularly care for a girl that is overly obsessed with things like shopping or materialistic things, but I don't have any problems giving all of my time (after classes) to a girl and do things like go with you to the mall shopping or whatever. I would love to just hang out with you, help you in your errands, take you shopping, help around your house, take walks, or just do anything, anywhere and just talk. I'm definitely not a guy that will blow you off to hang out with the guys. I would much rather be with my girl doing anything at all.As far as the physical aspect goes, I'm really attracted to latina and asian girls. Dark and red hair is hot. A girl with a few tats is definitely a good thing too. And I love any girl with an accent. But that's the shallow me :)
your profile is waaaaaaaay too long, and while the attributes you're looking for in a girl are great, listing them on a profile makes it sound like you have a stringent shopping list.
I'm not rich :) and can't always afford elaborate, expensive dates or gifts, but I definitely like to surprise a girl with these things on occasion.
again, you want to put your best foot forward in your profile and concentrate on the positive. This sounds a little apologetic. Fine for a first conversation, but lose it in the profile.
I tend to find something good in most every girl, so I tend not to initiate contact on here because otherwise I would be emailing most of you on here :). If I have sent you a first message, consider yourself particularly special :). anyways, send me a message and I will be sure to write back.
not a good idea. Most women here wait to be contacted.
My faith and political/philosophical/scientific beliefs are extremely important. They make me who I am and my faith is definitely the most important. I am not looking for a girl that shares these beliefs 100% because I know that will be nearly impossible to find :). If I do, then great, if not then that's fine. All I want is a girl that is open to the ideas and okay with my beliefs and enjoys discussing the issues without it getting in the way of our relationship (whatever type of relationship that is).
if your faith is important to you, include that in your profile... but your profile should be about you and what you have to offer. If the wrong type of person contacts you, it's not difficult to explain that you aren't suited.
I have a kind of weird obsession with English Bulldogs. I love them and really want to get one of my own. If you have one, then you get definite brownie points :).
lose the phrase "weird obsession"... and loves dogs can = his dog will sleep between us to some women. I'd list English Bulldogs in your keywords and leave it at that.
I am a traditional Sedevacantist Catholic and I am strongly pro-life. This is the basis and priority of my political practice. I also don't believe in having sex before marriage.
I respect your beliefs , but to many women reading this, this will read as "weird churchy guy" and will result in your being clicked right by. Save something for the first conversation.
Your long list of favorites needs to be shortened to specific genres or better yet, relegated to keywords.
I have a physical handicap so I have to use a wheelchair to get around. I won't lie this brings about some difficulties. But I would love to ge
Your pictures show you in a wheelchair, so that's obvious enough... listing that here is redundant. Save the discussion of your handicap for email.

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:12:44 PM | I like it. Your pictures give me a good idea of what you look like, and your text gives me a good outline of what your personality is like.
The only thing I'd change is the screen name. It's really commonplace, and the other "countryboys" usually have three teeth and a nascar number tattooed on their upper arms   | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:14:43 PM | You need to make your profile chick friendly.
All the photos show you in activities that would have a date or a girlfriend sitting on the sidelines watching.
Include some interests that a girl can picture herself doing with you | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:17:17 PM | Your text is pretty good... give me a good idea of who you are and what you are about...
pictures? I'd only do one, maybe two of the photo session in the suit. They're all pretty good individually, but as a group they look a little posed and a little cheesey. | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:26:31 PM | First off, you need more pictures.... one of which should be a full body shot, and another even closer of your face to show off your eyes
Your profile should be about you... what you are like and what you have to offer personality wise.
Every guy wishes it were that simple, but you'll have to lose the "no fatties" clause 
Heidi Klum would read that and think about the excess 1/2 ounce she has on her outer thighs you don't want to exclude some gorgeous woman because she thinks her butt is too big. (and most all women think their butts are too big)
Your pet peeves in the opposite sex? Fine for email conversation, but it can make you look a little jaded to some people in your profile. Keep it positive. "Honesty is a quality I value" is okay "I hate liars" will probably turn some women away.
Add some keywords and interests... make yourself stand out a little.
Any woman here who is passably pretty will get upwards of a hundred emails a day... say something about yourself that sets you apart from the other 99 .

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:33:14 PM | Thanks Pandy! I am actually kind of a cheesy guy so it somewhat suits me, but I'll think about which one to remove to not be as cheesy.
Did you mean my text "gave" you a good idea of who I am or are you asking me for more info about me to better judge?
Thanks again :) | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:33:30 PM | you need more pictures, less cliche.
There's nothing wrong with your profile (other than a lack of pics) but there's nothing really good about it, either. Very lukewarm and very like a thousand other guys who are out there.
Try to think about something you are interested in that sets you apart from the crowd a little. If you're at a loss, ask a female friend or relative to help describe you

you're welcome.
If cheesey is part of your authentic personality, by all means leave it as is... it's all about representing yourself.
and yes, typo... your text DOES give me a good outline of what your personality is like | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:40:58 PM | | I know you guys are more about the picture than the profile... but chicks like to read | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 5:42:59 PM | | The profile text is really good. I'm favorably impressed... but if you've been reviewing profiles you have to already know that pictures are LONG overdue ... and how about some keywords? | |
|
| C'Mere, I'll do ya'.
Posted: 10/21/2008 5:46:55 PM | I've never been done by a woman but could you review my profile? LOL
Thanks in advance.

Posted: 10/21/2008 6:37:59 PM | | Tell me what you think. It doesn't seem to be working. | |

Oh my, if by conversation you mean email, maybe, but bringing those realities up on a first meeting could pretty much be thought of as misleading. Sedevacantism is pre-Vatican II and that really should be put on the table as quickly as possible to keep people from getting hurt....'hurt' as in spontaneously combust while trying to be respectful. Though it would be amazing to have a chance to talk to him if you're looking to date...you need to know this from the get-go.
Maybe it's just because my ex was R.C. allowing me an outsiders view of the inside but I've yet to meet a priest or even a bishop THAT black and white on the above subjects and I think it could be a deal breaker for far too many people to mention them casually later in the process. For that matter, he is looking for someone that has a very specific faith on par with, say, a Hasidic Jew, so it's just not something you mention later when it is core to your whole life and world view. | |
