thanks for the self-righteous correction Mr. Politically Correct
I'm self-righteous and politically correct because you don't know the difference between left and right? | |

My humor often tests the limits, and I can potentially say stuff that can be borderline offensive. (I will insult you and laugh at you to get you mad for the pleasure of Emasculating you) Love your humor OP keep it up by trying to insult me. But You should try to be serious once in a while and date when your really ready for a serious relationship. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 4:25:25 PM | I don't appreciate you telling me what to do. From the sound if it, you seem like a possessive, controlling man who obviously is struggling to find a woman to put up with your shite.
Btw...it is a good thing you don't live in America. You'd be eaten alive...not to mention, severely criticized for your lack of knowledge in American politics and grammar. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 4:41:41 PM | On the contrary what you do is your business I'm just pointing out exactly how your profile will read to men who will have interest in what your profile says fun without a relationship. I have never told anyone what to do, I just give my honest opinion if you can't handle it don't blame me I have not judged you at all, but I am rude and I know that don't take offence of my opinion and judge me.
And if you must know I am in a relationship with a girl who is serious and open to relationships so good luck in finding a good man but you got to change your profile to get him on here.
And DenverSky is the one who wanted for me to post your review in "If a 26 yo hot and foxy woman puts this..." thread http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts13242783.aspx
Because your profile needed fixing badly you get more good men interested. | |

Posted: 10/9/2009 11:07:13 PM | Hey there. Okay, at first glance, I think you have way more going for your profile than against it. You're really attractive, you show some interest in higher education, and seem approachable, likable and charming.
That said, you asked for help because it's obvious your profile's not yielding quite the result you had hoped for. You need to lose the "hey fellas" in the opener, as well as the first and last lines. You appear to wearing your desperation on your sleeve. It's normal to get a little crestfallen in the dating experience from time to time; the result most of us are ultimately yearning for is like trying to hit a bullet with another bullet.
Also, your profile could use some tightening up in general. Try to give us a specific sense of why you're worth getting to know and the type of man you're interested in meeting in no more than 2-3 succinct but well-thought-out paragraphs, as if you're writing for nobody but that person who's right for you. If you're looking to meet someone "classy", make sure your writing, grammar, diction, punctuation could at least fly at the college level. It's not horrible right now, but like I said, try to tighten it up into some paragraphs, and ditch the list format.
Of course, you look pretty cute and fun-loving, so there's a lot of guys that are going to tell you the sun shines out of your arse no matter what you write. These guys are p*ssies who drink tasteless, fizzy yellow beer, last on average 1.8 minutes in bed, listen to crass music, take shirtless pictures next to BMWs they don't own, and whose tactics only work with girls who have low self-esteem. Keep in mind that you're only seeking the attention of a select few. It will take you longer that way, but your efforts now will be worth it in the long run. Good luck! | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 6:36:16 AM | WBF is being an ass but there's a message. The profile doesn't bring out your character in a fun way.
Today if you're out with a friend maybe someone could take a bunch of pics. Afterwards you could look for the best 20 and rotate them. The text could be what you did, "Hi, most of my pics are from a day hike on Pepperdine mountain. My girlfriend and I were there to get her settled on campus in her new position as a campus cop. She let me wear her uniform - but only in the change room for a couple of pics and the Alumni boardroom for a few more. Those I can't post. (please don't tell any Alums!). "
At the moment its almost like a shopping list or the beginning of a complex college test that we forgot to study for. There's no flow and we're challenged to imagine whether we're good enough and serious.
You're a lovely girl and have a bunch of wonderful things going on. It should be easy to let people see that. | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 7:47:02 AM | Hi Groovy…with your looks, your mailbox should be deluged. I’m guessing it is, but not with the guys you want. And from your 1st posting, it sounds like the guys you’re writing to aren’t responding.
I’d say that privat33r had it right, too. Your profile is like a complicated college test…and the guys are confused.
Maybe they’re wondering like I am……what does this lady want? Does she want one guy to date? Does she want lots of dates with one guy or lots of dates with lots of guys? Or something in between? Nobody knows. What they don’t know, they avoid.
You’ve got one line that reads….” So, fellas...I can’t guarantee that I’ll be your perfect match, but I can guarantee that once you meet me, you will be happy you did! We'll have a great time...most sure of it! =0)”
That’s the kinda line that screams sex (sorry, it does) and shouts “Come on down, Fellas, you’re all welcome here”. If that’s not what you’re after, rethink it. Guys may be seeing a remake of Pretty Woman in that line …i.e. the Julia Roberts character or her friend moving their street-corner biz to the cozy confines of POF. Couldn’t blame ‘em for doing that if they lived in CO….it’s S*N*O*W*I*N*G here! 
Bottom line…if the guys aren’t responding, it’s time for a reincarnation. You've got a lot to offer, but you've gotta wrap the present differently.
Merry Early Xmas! :DenverSky5280  | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 2:18:04 PM | Ha!!!
I actually....sort of...did the same thing.
It's got to be the easiest way to have a different/creative profile where you can insert whatever you need to about yourself. Fun and highly adaptable --> easiest profile template. | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 3:57:34 PM | Way to go Groovy …..
Profile…Groovy! (thanks again SeekA)
1st date….Groovy!
Interests: Not so groovy….Take DichoTommy’s suggestion about nixing the questionable interests. I’d nix the “giggity” and “dancing bananas”…. They’re funny, but too much giggity goo too soon. Here’s what else I’d nix: love, aliens, world peace, romanticism, astrology, beauty, down to earth, being goofy, metaphysics, being a smart ass, Victory shall be mine. That still leaves you with PLENTY. Too many makes you look A.D.D.
Photos: They’re sexy, but like I’ve said….too much sex sends the wrong message imho. OVERT gets the PERVERT. Nix the beddie-bye photo… too much giggity goo. Keep 1,2,3 and 5 for now. If you want the classier guy…then go for photos in classier clothes. Think stylish and sexy. I’m not talking school-marmish…I’m talking classy sexy vs overt sexy. Think Heidi Klum vs. Jessica Simpson.
@SeekA….Love your new profile too. Funny, interesting, and fresh! Best of all, it works for all genders. You might have created a profile template as contagious as the swine flu….and a lot more fun.
Look out POFishers…here comes Groovy and Seek (sounds like a 60's rock group)!   Best to you. DenverSky5280  | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 4:45:32 PM | fantastic profile and great pics. You tick all the boxes. If it is not working for you then maybe mix and match pof and real life.
POF has its positives and minuses. The minus being it is easy to sit there and analize an email message, so a guy that might be right for you, you might turn away as he may have not been interesting enough via email for you or what not. Or he is interesting via email, but after 1 meet the person isn't like the email so the decision is made.
where as maybe after 2 or 3 dates that person u turned away may have been perfect. its one flaw that makes internet dating a lot harder than real life dating as much as it seems easier this way.
Personally i think without internet dating there would be a lot more happy people out there in relationships yet at the same time for people that really need internet dating it is a good thing.. | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 4:53:31 PM | Much, Much better profile, allot more classy and interesting, creative style...
sorry for the rude comments on your last profile I was a little to harsh but I was trying to just get you to change it to attract the guys you really would be interested in.
Have you been sitting at your computer all evening thinking "Wow, I really wish I had a nice date for this weekend?(ok shows your not here to just see whats out there which should get serious daters attention) Well look no further! With only 2 or 3 easy emails, one can be sent to your nearest Starbucks, express delivery for an introductory look-see. (Way to sell yourself, kind of funny) I'll be the one sitting by the fireplace and reading the latest History of England or checking the TV guide to see when Family Guy is on next.(I hope no one thinks they can search every Starbucks in the area to find you) I know what you're thinking... Can she speak with a British accent? You’ll have to find out for yourself won’t ya…ya cheeky bloke!(Ay lass tis be a brilliant way to attract te british lovers) Be prepared to amaze your friends with this Groovilicious gal who believes in truth, justice, and the American way. I'm super-nice, fun and a liberal. How cool is that??!(All you need is a super-girl costume and your all set to kick some ass) So, I'm planning my next summer’s getaway now am looking for that special someone who also enjoys travel. Right now I'm looking at going to chilly Stonehenge or warm Hawaii. Tough choice, huh? Please email your suggestions now.(Well traveling is a great way to bond with a guy your dating so if anyone is willing to travel with you he should be really interested) But wait, there's more! I slice, dice, and hey, when I cook 4-minute eggs, I'm precise. No 3.5 minute eggs here. I'm a licensed mom! Better than that…my cooking hasn’t poisoned anyone yet. Be the envy of all your friends. (Well at least your up front about what you have to offer and what they have to deal with if they want you)Included in my package deal is a free Astrology consultation or a nice hug…your choice.(I am sure any guy will go for a hug but you'll get allot more interested if you say a kiss or a hug because the astrology consulation is kind of weird) If you email within the next 120 seconds, you'll also receive:(Good way to get them to step up) * 1 free dance lesson (I'm a good dancer, but most guys are not but you can teach them) * Many laughs! (I'm like a stand-up comedian w/o all the foul language. better sence of humor than being borderline offensive) * Stimulating conversation (I'm actually current on national events! avoid talk about politics because thats a touchy issue with some left or right wing people) * And much, much more! [CONSUMER FDA Warning](Ok easy to accept and still funny) This product only compatible with males.(should say with only compatiable with males that are respectful or interesting not all) Groovyfoxx is only licensed to practice humor in the continental U.S or UK.(And Canada or Australia) Use caution around candlelight.(Confussing may you should mention you can be romanic around candlelight) Not intended for one night stands.(Or Friends with Benifits I hope) Must enjoy movies, reading, conversations, and dry British humor.(End it here) Void where prohibited.(Cut this out, change to dichoTommy said in last post) Known by the state of California to be a leading cause of awesome. Use only as directed, see participating stores for details. First DateBowling or a trip to Europe...I'm open to suggestions! ;0)(Much classier and more interesting type of date ideas) | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 5:03:18 PM | That's one of the most radical changes in a profile I've seen in awhile... it went from a negative profile I would never dream of contacting if I was dating, to the attractive category, very much above average. She stepped in a pile of poop and came out smelling like a rose. Good job!
One last little thing... I still don't like the profession: Super hero
- This was one of the first things I read that tipped me off to the fact that the rest of the written section would be bad, and sure enough, it matched... problem is, it could sound a little arrogant out there all by itself where it is... it's one thing to say you are great at this or that, but Super hero is all-encompasing... I would consider changing it to something slightly more palatable... such as "Super Mom", or "Super Soccer Mom"... those are just a few quick ideas off the top of my head, and while they might be cliché', they are still cute and harmless. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 9:42:03 PM | I don't know, I am kinda curious to find out if it works. My guess is no.
It is too much.
Sorry if I am peeing on your fire, if it is any consolation, I am usually wrong in regards to anything to do with a womans page and usually get chastised everytime I attempt feedback. 
It is only creative if you make it up? | |

If a tree falls in the forest and you're not there, do you care?
It'd be pretty lame to simply copy and paste an entire profile. (I seriously think a lot of guys expect that to be done for them when they ask for reviews here.) But taking an idea and personalizing it enough to make it yours, certainly requires creativity. If...you actually have something to insert.
Debate? | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 11:55:33 PM | | Much, much better! I like the overhaul; it's very clever and fun to read. If you have no luck with this version of it, maybe try moving 900 miles north? I could at least guarantee you a date :) | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 2:05:24 AM | Pretty sure ONE guy mentioned what would be the biggest obstacle for me writing you.
KIDS, yes i'm gonna sound like a D!CK saying this, but LOTS of guys don't want to date someone with kids (you're 26, so guessing you are contacting 25-35, most guys aren't really looking for kids at 25-29) I say this from experience, i've dated a woman with kids, and would not do it again.
you're pics aren't bad, BEST PIC for main good job, as to your comment about the guys there liking skinny blonde airheads...women like em tall and this and that...so women are just as bad, re-evaluate your criteria, are you not responding to certain guys for not so good reasons?
Also I would ditch the astrology, new agey stuff, most guys don't really care about that stuff. | |

Yeah OP, you should totally get rid of your kids. That would make you more datable.  I knew there was something off about your profile.
Also I would ditch the astrology, new agey stuff, most guys don't really care about that stuff.
Makes sense to drop all your current interests and just go along with what everyone else likes. Don't be different. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 6:23:00 AM | Yeah CC I agree. It just takes on a life of its own and becomes something other then what the person is when a copy and paste job gets done. It is impossible to peg someone down enough to make a page take on a funny/hilarious/humerous side without losing the person and the viewer/ responder gets a idea about the person that is not what the person is really like.
Your page is not showing up on the first date. And after contact is made it is usually apparent that the person is not like what thier text makes them out to be.
If (and it is a big IF ) they are creative enough to take the initial idea and make it there own or apply it to them and only them and make it work, by all means run with it.
I am curious to see if it works though. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 7:51:46 AM | I think its gotta be who you are messaging. I think you are very attractive and would respond if you messaged me. Your profile is good to go and your pictures are fantastic. Heck if your ever up in Michigan hit me up I would love to show you the nice parts of Detroit and the metro area!
Good luck and best regards!

Posted: 10/12/2009 10:07:22 AM | | I don't know what your profile was like prior to the changes based on forum input, but your profile is very good, and you are very datable. I would want my son to date you! (Or me 20 years ago.) The only thing I would do is trim the "Interests" down to about ten or 12. | |
