I think you are right on that, I see no change. So he has either not checked the comments or thinks we all suck as reviewers!!

Well... considering there are 25 messages and only four with profile advice that basically give it up to inane off topic chat after message 7.
I can see that he doesn't have much advice to change with and even less reason to come back and follow up!

Rita, sometimes people come back on with comments, sometimes they make changes to their profile without comment to the reviewers. When neither of those happens, I take the request as a hoax and don’t worry about it further.

My post had nothing to do with worry! Jeesh!
It did comment on the volume of off topic chat
here and that is the only thing worth considering, imo.

You have ignored the gist of what I was saying,
that THAT can and does keep people from returning.
Especially if it's not about them! lol

Ok thanks for those of you that did make a suggestion. I'll make some changes and see if that helps.

I'd agree with fixing up those photo's. I see you've got hair - is the hat a fulltime part of you? The closeups are much better than your body shot, but get one of yourself smiling if you can manage.

You're just making this too hard on the ladies, the bad pics, the rambling nonsense, no mention of what you're looking for...jeez. Try a bit harder here or expect lousy results. And another thing - you need to make first contacts, don't wait for girls to hit on you - that doesn't happen in "real life" and won't happen here either!

Good luck!
 You go first

The original message indicated he hadn't had much success getting responses here and wondering if he was throwing up red flags. DUH!!!!

This is an incoherent, rambling, ADD profile that shows what happens when you write when you're stoned. You should know better than to put '420' in your Interests and not say "Socially" to the drug question. Girls aren't stupid and they will delete liars faster than a viagra spam email. And no, we won't get into the 'it's not really a drug argument because it is and that's why you're being ignored. Deal.

Have a grande super latte with extra chocolate shavings from Starbucks, focus, and rewrite this crap. Start with who you are, your best quality, what you do, then a new paragraph on your activities, hobbies and goals, and finally who you are hoping to meet here.

Ha, well thanks again everyone for your help. Actually the harshness of the comments from the bulk of responses actually helps alot. Thanks for being straight forward and to the point, that's hard to come by nowadays.

As others have said, the main profile picture isn't helping. Get a good close-up and be dressed nicely. I'm told that having "Nerd" and "Geek" in ones profile is a mistake as most see those as negative terms. Personally, I don't consider them negative but took them out of my profile anyway. Nix the stuff on your income. Women want a strong a provider. I'm not sure what "Game Testing" would be so expand on that.
