Posted: 10/22/2008 3:13:58 PM | | agreed waterview. Though not necessarily what I need to find in a girl. But I think its necessary to mention because it is a deal breaker for too many people. No point it stringing someone along if its not going to go anywhere anyways. | |

Posted: 10/22/2008 8:05:05 PM | Sorry to invade your profile review thread, Sis.. but, I'm just watching the series
and I thought that I'd field this one for you:
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.
Huh? I ask a woman what her religion is right after I ask her how many lovers
that she's had. Some species mate for life. Our's isn't one of them. And Johnny
Appleseed wasn't really about apple trees.
If you just want to know if a man is circumsized.. just ask us. We'll show you.
And if you put sexy pics up, you will receive more proposals.
Not from me.. but, I'm not new to internet dating. I'm just spiritual. 
I've got a good friend of mine about a hundred miles south of here that is a true christian. And I'm your basic heathen.. I say dirty words and everything..
I bet that she secretly prays for me.
Whatever gets her through the night.. is alright ..is alright. hahahaha
I reckon that if religion was a deal killer for me in a relationship..
that I would put that fact in the first paragraph of my profile. Why waste people's time? | |

Posted: 10/22/2008 8:50:21 PM | | Well well well... the moderator extraordinaire returns to the ponds among the ranks. If your plate wasn't full enough here, let me top you up. Assume my profile says Dating, Single, and the first line of the About Me saying i'm not available, don't bother, is gone and crack yer whip. Show me what you're made of... | |

| C'Mere, I'll do ya'.
Posted: 10/22/2008 10:37:05 PM | My profile is more detailed then most. If you dig an interesting read have fun. I'm a fan of honesty. I'll take your criticism with an open mind
Thanks,
Zack | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 6:49:54 PM | First off, more pictures... one with full body is a must.
Text? A bit choppy
A gentleman hoping to find the Lady of my dreams. Just hoping and dreaming that somebody out there wants to be treated like a princess, loved, cared for and will be able to treat me in a similar way? Fingers are crossed though.
this one is questionable. Some girls love stuff like this right out of the gate, but I think it's a little much if I find it on a profile. If you're looking for a girl who will fall in love with you by the third date, leave it up... otherwise, tone it down some.
Computers(mainly building them), cycling, movies(horror, comedy and action), music(all sorts), swimming, and video games are my interests. these are fine but are more appropriate for keywords. I'd like to hear something about your personality.
What are you like?
Very relaxed lifestyle I do like to go out only I am not too familiar with Barnsley so any ideas let me know. In Newcastle I used to be out every two weeks going to pubs, clubbing, dancing and drinking.
unless you are looking for a girl who'd make a killer drinking buddy in the bargain, omit any references to beer, partying, and/or clubbing or you risk sounding like a potential alchoholic.
I Also have a Daughter who is nearly 2. Me and her mother do get on well the relationship just wasn't meant to be.
stuff that you should save for email conversations after you've connected
I am looking for a woman that is Confident and honest with a Good Sense of Humour and Cares about other people not just themselves.
watch your usage and diction.
I do prefer long hair. Love it actually. It is not a requirement it is just preference.
I'd leave this out entirely unless short hair is a deal breaker.
Karlo. XxX | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 7:13:43 PM | you know what I'm going to tell you about the pictures! ... fill up those additional slots... and make sure that one is a full body shot. Sooooo many great guys will pass right by a girl with "a few extra pounds" in her pro if her body isn't showing who might find her figure attractive
extra pounds at all. 
I haven't "dated" since I was a teenager and am CLUELESS, not to mention a bit scared. I am sort of shy but I warm up. :)
I'd leave this bit out of the profile, and save it for the first email.... you don't want to look anything less than confident.
I love family BBQs,cooking with friends and family, bowling (though it has been ages), movie night cuddled up on the couch,a day at the river fishing, swimming or tubing etc. If you have a spare horse..I miss having my own and I would love to ride again or if you have a motorcycle.. I would love to learn to ride because I am seriously thinking of getting one. Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine, some music and good conversation sounds good to me too. I like fishing and boating. And I can bait my own hook thank you very much! LOL I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh! I go through spells where I read every book I can get my hands on. I am comfortable at home with a small group of friends or group outings are great as well. The more laughter the better! I love learning new things and really want to get out there and experience life! My kids are raised and I am single... I think it is time for me to have some fun now! :)
I'd move some of the short "likes" to keywords... your profile is way too long and that will
preserve the content while trimming down text.
I love animals and currently have an old chihuahua and will probably adopt a cat when I get settled in.
I'd move chihuahuas to keywords and omit the above. Even guys who like pets will wonder if you are the type to put your pet above a boyfriend,etc.
Currently I do smoke and am a little heavier than I like to be but am hoping with this move and positive things in my life that I will lose both the weight and the cigs! I am not a health Nazi by any means but I do try to eat right and get moving. The last couple of years have thrown me some major curve balls and I haven't been out much. I am putting all that in the past and hoping to get out and get moving!
it's good that you are getting past your issues, but you shouldn't mention them here.
This bit sounds a bit apologetic and a teeny bit negative and should really go.
The 2 main things I like in a man: Good communication, at the end of the day it is nice to have someone to discuss it with. Everyone likes to be heard and validated.
Honesty, I would rather know the truth about you and be given the chance to accept rather than be lied to and not trust.
I am looking for a man that wants to man up and be my protector as well as equal partner... someone that let's me be feminine even if I am under the car with grease on my face! A man that can be rough and tough and compassionate and gentle at the same time. Does this man exist?
I WANT A GUY THAT I CAN RUN TO WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE AND THE FIRST THING HE ASKS IS... WHO'S ASS AM I KICKING BABE?
It would be nice if he were tall and strong and capable of going caveman by throwing me over his shoulder! Umm not that I would really want him to do that but if he COULD that would be nice! LOL
I would say the only thing I really am a stickler about in a man is good personal hygeine :) I like a clean cut look (long hair is ok too if neat and clean) and if you know your way around a shower and can handle a tooth brush.. you are doing good! See.. I told ya I was easy going! This needs a major overhaul. You've gotten a little overkill on the point that you want a manly man , etc. Having that in one place and mentioned generally gets your point across... more can make you look obsessed. Save the specifics for email. Remember that your profile is about you and what YOU have to offer ... if you have lots of characteristics listed that you're looking for, it looks like a shopping list to guys and they might not think they can measure up to expectatations. | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 7:17:06 PM | lose the words "horrible" , "uncool", and "weird" from your photo captions. Even in jest, you don't want anything
that suggests that you're less than confident about yourself.
The text? I think it suits you ... it seems to convey your personality and gives me a good idea what you're about. | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 7:24:48 PM | First off, kill the screen name.
I know you probably didn't intend it to read as such, but it looks (when seen in the inbox beside an email subject line) as though you are referring to genitalia. 
I know, I know... but all of us girls have deleted emails from the likes of
trousertrout and RiDeThEbIgNiNe  It won't encourage women to open your email or your profile.
The rest of your profile? Nothing bad, but it's kinda sketchy and lacklustre.
You need more pictures, you need more keywords (hopefully activities/hobbies you enjoy that a woman can envision herself participating in)
and you need to really put some personality in your profile.
What sets you apart from the other hunbdred guys she heard from today? | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 7:39:44 PM | Lose your main picture with the bangs... it makes you look about 12, lose the Captain N picture... I see that and think "gamer geek".
which, for most girls means "I'll never get him away from the console long enough to do dinner and a movie".
I realize now that I can’t always focus on work I need to have some fun too, so why not find a nice girl to have it with?
this is fine if it stands alone... the explaination sounds apologetic and the textual equivalent of a stutter.
One night stands are against every bone in my body and against my way of being thinking and doing.
This needs to go. Some may wonder if you have sexual issues...and it's not punctuated. Just sayin' :)
When I'm not off at work or off somewhere else putting my recently acquired Computer Science Degree to use I'm either In front of My piano Playing some tunes, Crowded around some kind of video game such as Rock Band with my friends, or Over top of a pot on the stove cooking some delicious dish which probably has a group of peoples names on it. Though I must say I also do enjoy doing some things not at home, and some which are not inside at all like taking a walk, or going to a movie, or enjoying a meal out.
what you have to say isn't bad, it just needs reworked so it sounds more confident. Again, you might want to lose the reference to gaming with your friends. A girl might wonder where she would fit in.
I'm the kind of person who is quite easy going and not much bothers me. I go through life like it was an adventure even when it seems monotonous and boring I can always find something interesting to point out.
I like the bit about treating life as though it were an adventure... but "point out" makes it sound as though you are a watcher rather than a doer.
I love cooking as I've already explained but when you cook for one most of the time it can get boring that's why I love cooking for others. Plus cooking for others gives you opportunities to eat with others which always makes for better eating and more enjoyable meals.
Women who can laugh with me and my off beat sense of humor are the best kind of women in my honest opinion. I would also love to find a woman who would give me a reason to use more of the gadgets and gizmos in my kitchen. I always love preparing fine meals even just for my friends.
rework a paragraph about your enjoyment of cooking, the content is good, but it comes off as hesitant and shy.
In life, A person who takes no risks never gets any rewards. Jump in, and see where things go is my attitude its the jump thats always harder than the rest though. This comes off as trite. Maybe find a quote that carries the same sentiment? | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 7:47:04 PM | I hate shoes , too... I feel your pain.
You do a couple of things that I don't care for in a profile... you seem almost to be apologizing in advance for a couple of personality quirks and you have a list of what you are looking for that's longer than the summary of what you're like.
Oddly, though... the hint of uncertainty seems to work in your favor where it wouldn't for everyone, and comes off as charmingly shy. The list of what you want in a man reveals a lot of your personality along the way. I'd leave it as is. It reflects who you are very well. | |
