Descartes may have been drunk but at least “I think therefore I am” is easier to understand than those darned equations.

Sorry to interrupt this witty existential banter, but there's a Profile Update!
Um... Apparently he has learned how to bold, underline, and italicize... (in lew of actually CHANGING his profile).

Posted: 7/2/2009 9:06:53 AM | Alright...I know this has been said a thousand times before, but...
1. Find better pictures. Use a local photographer, if you have to.
2. For the written details - demonstrate, don't state. First off, one doesn't usually refer to him/herself as 'interesting', 'funny', etc. That's for others to decide. Plus, you'll end up sounding like the majority of the male population on this site. What makes you stand out is if you paint a picture in her mind of you being funny/interesting without actually stating it.
Otherwise, women will just look at your profile and move on.
Good luck! | |

Looking at my photos will tell you a lot about the type of guy I am - one who respects your instincts.
YGF mentioned this days ago, and I'll reiterate ...
Looking at your photos tells the viewer virtually nothing about the type of guy you are. You like to dance. And from this the viewer must necessarily infer that you'll respect her instincts? Quite a leap.
The problem is, you've made a statement with which no viewer will agree, and this does nothing to help you get an email. All those views add up to just about squat if you can't get a date. | |

The reason you have so many viewers compared to messages is that you appear in a thumbnail to be a good looking young dude with nice arms. When someone clicks on it they see you are 44 and look the part.
Totally agree with EdwardPartSix!
I initially thought 'He looks rather handsome!'. Clicked on it, and although you've not been severely beaten with the ugly stick, it wasn't quite what I was expecting from the thumbnail.
For some strange reason I kept being viewed by athletic handsome men in their early twenties. Upon reading my profile further, if at all, I never hear from any of them!
A look at your profile does not mean, unfortunately, that they fancy you all! | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 11:03:27 AM | I should add as well that many friends on here do the 'Check out this profile' because it's hilarious or really bad.
Suddenly you think all these gorgeous people really like you, but are just a bit shy.
No. They're most likely laughing at you. Harsh but true. | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 11:44:14 AM | Here's your profile summary:
I'm fun.
I'm Interesting.
I'm NOT going to jump through your 'hoops'
I want a cool fun chick
I like to dance
I like music
I like coffee.
I own a programming company
I don't have much time for you
My photos tell you what sort of man I am.
I respect your intuition
AND YOU END WITH:
Don't be Shy.........What's your story?
HA!!! What in the heck is your story??? You don't say one thing in your profile that makes you different from any other guy (other than you own some sort of company & don't have much time for a woman you're dating). And then you dare ask women to tell you their story?
One thing all of this does say is that you really don't want advice. | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 11:49:54 AM | I can't believe I read the whole thread, but the more I read the funnier and more entertaining it was. Well the good news is, if he can get bites with his profile, than there is hope for all of us LOL I liked the part when he was eating up the lines of "hey good looking" and "hey cutie".
I must say I learned a valuable lesson from this thread. Don't ask you guys to review my profile. OMG you guys would tear mine up. I think I would tear mine up (I did it on a whim and haven't been back to update since I signed up).
I can't say I agree with the whole idea of waiting on women to contact me instead of taking the initiative to contact them. Both are fine, but if you see something that interests you it's a mistake to wait around for her to contact you. | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 3:09:37 PM | | Well HOT DAMN Chances - move to Boston and I'll kick your ass around the pool table a bit. Yummmmmmy. I've been having a great time burning up the felt again...even thinking about joining a league, I hear you meet men there *lol*. Not to worry - we only chew up the silly fishies. | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 3:17:17 PM | Oh Annie, now I feel hurt. I thought you said you were going to take me on the pool table! Now I see you are indiscriminate about it. Oh well, I will not be out your way soon anyway.

Posted: 7/2/2009 3:57:42 PM | I have to agree, this is the first post that I have read from beginning to end and it is hilarious! Why oh why does someone ask for input that doesn't really want input? hmmmm.
I have only been on POF for a month or so, but I have learned something new everytime I check in. A friend of mine told me to keep a positive attitude, but make sure that fun and entertainment were my goals of being on POF. She found the love of her life, but it wasn't the first or even 40th conversation and/or email...

Posted: 7/2/2009 4:29:20 PM | Hey there Sonyat, welcome to the fish pond. Few threads are as much fun as this one so enjoy. I am not sure what he intended when he started this one but it sure has gone in many directions. At first I thought it was a serious request then I thought it was a troll kind of thing. Now I think it is just a fun thread.
If I were a lot younger and lived out your way, I would sure be in contact with you. Nice profile!!!

Posted: 7/2/2009 4:55:40 PM | Chances,
You should note that most profile reviews are in fact quite serious and I think, helpful. If you are interested in a real review put it up and you will get good input. Many of the people who have commented on this one do in fact give very good input. Click on history and you can see recent comments by each person.

Posted: 7/2/2009 7:24:42 PM | This is general, but usually true.
You don't want women to contact you. Women don't approach men they view as above them. It is too intimidating and women rarely extend themselves like that. They will contact those they view as beneath them.
You want the ones that you have to go after yourself.
Seriously, a woman reads one guy's profile and thinks "oh he's got sooo much goin on! oh he's so hot! Ugh, he'd never go out with me."
Then she comes to you and feels safe contacting you thinking "oh he's not that good looking and it looks like he can't get lots of hotter women so i will try emailing him since he might actually give me a shot."
Do you want that? Do you want to be the guy she thinks she can get or the guy she is too scared to try for?
You're a man. Go for them yourself. You'll get better ones. | |

Billy: Sorry Babe!! You know I love your cave.
Ron: Dude, I so said I would take you on the pool table. I didn't realize you wanted your ass handed to you first  but hey, I can do both 
And don't none of y'all listen to any advice ya get from them there people who like to read/post in the profile review forum. They want you to CHANGE!!! Just so's ya might have better luck gettin' a date. Next, they'll be helping you re-write your resume to get a job. Gotta go, I got me a boyfriend interview.

I bet you could do both, I have not played much pool for a while. If I were a lot younger, I would surely take that chance and be out there this weekend with my two piece custom made pool cue. Hope your boyfriend interview went well!! | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 5:55:00 AM | ==And don't none of y'all listen to any advice ya get from them there people who like to read/post in the profile review forum.==
Why SHOULD HE??? 
I guarantee you this fellow yanks more tail  than all of these on--LINE LOTHARIOS  offering such EXPERT advice  COMBINED!!!   
And, as for the girls who say stuff like he's been hit with ugly sticks - I know you FRAMED it as if you didn't but nobody's stupid here. it's like saying "I'm not saying you're fat, but..." anyway, I want all those girls esp the ones who said I WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE AN EMAIL FROM HIM to take a REAL long look in the mirror. trying to be nice here. Are you looking??? Good, look again.. THAT's the only thing that should come out of your mouth.
What is so F--King funny about this particular post is this guy is obviously TOYING with you...mocking you to be exact, could care less what any of you have to say cuz he's the one getting all the action. EVEREYONE IN THE WORLD SEEMS TO GET THAT BUT you BRAINIACS who get more and more enragedd each time he puts your own words back in YOUR OWN FACES and STILL cant' fiUgre out for the life of you why he's not taking your SAGE WISDOM.
Do you want to know why SupremePlayer isn't getting as many contacts as he is visits? I'll tell you the real reason cuz I actually understand women.
No it's not cause he's ugly or whatever. Goodness gracious, have you guys looked in the mirror. Do you know how NAKEDLY TRANSPARENTLY JEALOUS you come across when you say Such bull$hit?
He's a pleasant looking man in his mid-40's who's in GREAT shape for his age. The reason he's getting way more visitors than inquiries is cuz of that profile pic. Let me explain something to you LOVE AND ADVICE EXPERTS
When a guy says he and a particular grrl are just 'GOOD FRIENDS' it means he's shagged her ROTTEN and OFTEN so many times she can't walk for a MONTH and he's looking for BACKUP!!!! Get it? And he's not gonna settle for anyone that's not at least as hot as she is. Why should he. Women get that automatically. I'm horrible at guessing ages but she looks to be about 15 yrs younger than him and smoking hot - like a young Adrienne Barbeau from MAUDE reruns (minus the big tatas ) So why would he go from her who he has in his backpocket to some 40 yo washed up bitter cynical single mother? And women know this so they don't even try to get to know him cuz they know there's no chance.
Homeboy - listen to me I'll give you SOLID advice. I like your game I like your profile - all that EMOTIONAL content is DOPE chicks lap that stuff up, if I had your physique today I'd do the same thing, but set it up so that you CAN['T RECEVIE VIEWS FROM ANYONE OVER 38 or so cuz they're not gonna be trying to know you anyway because they're too intimidated by the girl in the photo. U won't geet as many views but you'll get a lot better intererst from the ones that do come by. There you go - Problem Solved!  | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 8:36:53 AM | Wow. Ummm Mr. T
I am not sure why you decided to vent about this series of profile review comments, but it is clear that you are angry, flippant, and just plain out there.
It is very surprising that you even bothered to reply at all better yet go on this tirade given the fact that your profile has less than ten sentences. You put more effort into this blog than you did on your own profile.
- that's just weird. | |

Why SHOULD HE???
Ummmm, ya know, cause, like, he asked for it? Oh wait...that's a line for me. I was just asking to be mocked. Women are always asking for it. Yup yup, that must be it. I must be totally devastated cause he ain't interested in lil ole me. Yup, yup. I'm just jealous.
Ron, Ron, Ron (hahaha reminds me that I saw an old shaun cassidy tv show the other day, nearly died laughing how cheesy it was) Hop a plane buddy! | |

Maybe he thot your advice wasn't particularly useful.
If someone asks for advice do they HAVE to do whatever YOU tell them, else you berate them for DARING to ask?
Like to see that in the Forum Guidelines, please!
