I wouldn't imagine a war of wits being constructive or productive here. That really ruins the value of the posts and degrades the value of your genuine interests here. Your reviews benefit the many people out there, just not those of us that are seperated..fine~

You are entitled to only review the profiles of the people you wish to and I can respect that.

However, posts, regardless of who creates them, are owned by everyone. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and it doesn't benefit anyone to try and make it personal, even if they disagree with other poster's opinions.

Lets try and keep it friendly out there

Bandito-

You misquoted me and misrepresented the situation. I simply refused to review the profile of a separated person. You simply were the first separated person to ask me to do so. Had it been anyone else, they would have gotten the same response so this is NOT PERSONAL. Why are you even going there? You state that you don't want to start something but then you make statements that I'm FLAMING you and GETTING PERSONAL?!

You went ahead and started a whole new thread about it where you misquoted and misrepresented the situation. All I said is that I won't review your profile because you're separated. You had people in your thread believing that someone told you that YOU DIDN'T BELONG ON POF because you're separated. And that is simply not true. And you have a problem because I called you to the carpet on it, defended the truth and defended myself? Grow up please. Seems like you are just itching for a fight or maybe it's pity? I can't tell which.

I don't care what you do and your opinion will never infringe on how I live my life. And I'm sure you think the same.

To me, you're a pure stranger. We don't agree. I'm fine with that. I've already stated on your thread in a very diplomatic manner that I was there to clarify discrepencies from what you said happened and what really did happen. I'm an ethical person and I believe I acted true to my personal beliefs and stand by them 100%. Nothing else. I accomplished what I needed to. And I have no need to post to your thread again.

I believe it is best to part ways and agree to disagree.

Not much to say cause you've got your SHAT together.

Watch for punctuation and capitalization, though. And use a space after commas.

Photos
Looks like two of them you cut out an old girlfriend. Big no no! Get pics of just you. You do own a camera, right? You do have friends who can do shots of you? That would be better.
And what's up with the stripping picture? Makes me think you were a stripper on the cruise ship job you had a few years back.

Nuff said. You're a cutie.

Ok, Chica how 'bout this one??
Posted: 11/28/2005 3:23:28 PM
Hey Chica......Thank you for the nice words of encouragement, and the suggestions for change.

Pair o ducks = paradox ......and thats the strange thing.............may look and sound like an old hippie, maybe actually am, but didn't start out that way. Had a career as an aircraft engineer, saw something else, now make my living as a plumbing contractor and working at a building supply company.....both part time......more flexible that way.

Not part narive american (not that i know of) mostly Irish/Viking

4 agreements are: from a book by Miguel Ruiz
1...Be impeccable with your word
2...Don't take anything personally
3...Don't make assumptions
4...Always do your best

Skylights over the bed....highly recommended. Last night went to sleep with bright starry skies and a meteor flashing by now and again. Awoke to see snowflakes falling.....And when the Aurora Borealis is active.....OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!! no sleep then!!!!!!!!!!
The part that may be a bit too sexual......Well, perhaps, but I wanted to be fairly clear there. May be gettin' older, but still feel this to be a very important part of a relatiionship. So long as mind and body are willin' ........

I am thinking you are being very generous in offering to critique the profiles of others, especially in such a constructive way (reading all of those you've written) Since the few words and a photo or two on ones profile are all we can do to present ourselves to the world out there, it pays to take care, come from the heart, and be specific, but not limiting. It worked almost immediately for me......beyond my fondest dreams. Thank YOU again R.

Note to all of your readers: pay attention. this woman is offering us a great service.

Thank you again
cloudhi

P.S.
You are a pretty artractive person yourself!!

Hi Cloudhi-

Thank you for the kind words of support!

And if you are capable, send some of that "found my soul mate" karma/energy/chi my way. I, too, am looking for a beautiful soul to share my journey in life with!

xoxo and the best of luck to an amazing gentleman. Congrats to your lucky lady. She's found herself a rare treasure in you!

Hi girl1022

Because you asked so nicely and twice and are patient! I will get back to others of you...I have you on a list and will get to all of you! xox

You are such a tiny little thing! You are too cute!

A few things:

Your title: Looking for fun until the right one comes along
Your whole profile is contradictory and it starts right here with your title. Men see looking for fun= sex. Then in the second half you stat you are waiting for the right one. So which one is it? I'm confused. And so are the poor men out there who have secret crushes on you!

Photos:
I have a real problem with single parents smearing pics of their kids on their profiles. It is a big NONO in my book. Do you know how many sickos are out there, want to find a vulnerable single mom and abuse her kid(s). Don't advertise for sickos. 4 out or your 7 pictures are you with a kid. Kill all pics of your kid. If you must have one...only have ONE. But I advise having none.

About Me
Well honestly how do you describe yourself. I can not stand liars or players. I am not wanting a long term relationship. But I do hope that if Mr. Right does come along I will know.

Negative negative negative. And contradiction. Kill the first sentence. Kill the second sentence. And what the hell do you want? Cause Sentence #3 and #4 are direct contradictions. Get your head and heart straight with what you want and stop confusing us!

I would like to meet someone that will be theirselves from the start. No games. I am to old for that.
Kill the negativity. Men don't knw what you mean by games...And the first sentence is too ambiguous. You come across sounding really bitter. Why are you even on here other than to advertise that you're a man ahter?

I have a son that is the center of my world so any man that has an interest in me will know that from the start.
WOW. I thought the sun was the center of the world. Just kidding. A note to single parents...you can advertise your love for your child (ren) without browbeating the poor souls who are stepping up to maybe date you. You use your son and status as a single mom as a shield, or more like a sword or weedwhacker. Not very attractive. I know you're the protective lioness...but how about we try for a purring kitten?
Suggestion: I have a beautiful little boy who has taught me about unconditional love. He has shaped and matured me in ways that I think make me more open to finding and loving the right man for me.

I am a woman that takes care of her partner & deserve the same. I am somewhat picky.
This needs to be reworded. Sounds like you want to be a servant and "demand" that a man serve you back? A bit unhealthy and comes across shrewish. Kill the somewhat picky. If you have standards...state them! Picky to me means you just have this stupid word as an excuse to deny anyone access to your heart. You have a wall built up around you. I've been there...I know. You have a right to be picky. But tell me what I have to be to even meet you.

I refuse to play mind games so if all you want is a new toy then I suggest shopping at Wal-Mart.
OOOOOUCH! Here we go again with mind games? How long have you been divorced? I sense a lot of anger and I don't know if you should be dating right now? Kill this line.

But if you are willing to get to know who I am & show you are honest then drop me a line. But please, if you don't have a picture then either don't message me or be willing to send one. I do also believe there has to be somewhat of an attraction there. Sounds shallow? No just truthful

Negative. I feel like a broken record. Everything in your profile can be reworded with a positive twist. And you need to do it FOR EVERY SENTENCE IN YOUR PROFILE. Suggestion: I believe for a match to be made, chemistry has to exist. (what's shallow about that?) And kils the no pics thing. It's trite and sounds like you're whining.

First Date
A perfect date for me would be one with someone who knows me a little better than just reading a profile. I am wanting someone to agree with the date, just not do what I want to & hate every second of it. Maybe the perfect date would be meet at a bar so that if it doesn't go the way you plan then you two can part & still have a good time. Not a wasted night on someone who is boring or likes to brag alot. So a date to me would like to play pool or sit and get to know me.

Whine whine whine. **** **** ****. I'm going to send you a block of nice Havarti to go with that whine. I'm too tired to even comment on the rest of your profile. I'm that drained. You've sucked the life out of someone looking out for your interests. Cannot imagine how you come across to men...

A one big bitter shrew.

Paladin-
Too Long. You lost me after the second paragraphy. And I minored in English lit in college. You are destined to be a long-winded prosaic English professor who will put all his students to sleep.

Limit yourself to three paragraphs. You're trying to fit in a first second and third date in a F-ing profile. Give me a break.

You have a lot to offer. You just live too much in your head and dream la la land. Come back to earth. Rewrite the profile. Get in touch with me again after it's been cut down to 1/3 of it's length.

Your a cute gal with atrocious written English skills. Employ proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Then get back to me. It was painful to read what little you had written (or should I say scrawled?).

Found yet lost

I don't like your title: a study in contrasts it would be more a study in contradiction. See your user name and your title. Are you a pisces? Seems you don't know which way you're swimming...

I don't like pic #3 where you are looking up into some bad flourescent light. You look pissed off. Nix that pic.

Overall, your profile is well-written. You have a nice tone to it. You're basically a geek who doesn't make too much money. You like a lot of things...you're basically an artistic geek. Nothing wrong with that. You give us a good snap shot into your inner-self. I would just say that it is a bit too long. I would edit it down by 1/3. Give it some conciseness. There is probably a lot of extraneous detail that you can share on a date instead of your profile.

Hi girly1022

Now you got it. Much more positive. I think you go a bit overboard with too many sentences about looking for a soul mate. I would condense that down. Let me take a look at it and get back to you.

But overall, you did a great job of overhauling your profile.

Now, this has nothing to do about your profile but just woman to woman. You state in your profile that you'd one day like to drag race or ski. Why are you waiting for a guy to do this with you? Are you a sissy? Grab life by the balls, gf, and go make your dreams come true! While you're having the time of your life, some great guy will notice your awesome smile and happiness and just have to grab you all for himself!

Thanks for your time and efforts. You are blunt, I must say but, I can tell that you are honest about your personal comments and you are doing your best to be completely objective. You have been taking a long time on all of your reviews for all of us, so again, I want to say thank you very much for your opinions and your time.

I feel very bad for the comments I made but I don't want to sugar coat things for you. Please don't take things too seriously. I think you are a beautiful human being and are here looking for what everyone else is: love. Am I not right.

But it hurts to watch someone striving for something in all the wrong ways. Kind of like seeing a beautiful bird fly into a window and break a wing. I do think that you have the potential and the resources to really set yourself up to get all you want. But you have some work to do.

This is a kind suggestion. If you really want to attract a good man to you, please pick up Ten Mistakes women make to mess up their lives. I don't suggest this book lightly. It really straightened me up. I was a mess myself because I didn't know what I wanted. I'm not saying I don't have a lot of work or growing still to do...but this book alone I would definately say helped me in getting a much better attitude about my life.

And when you begin to love yourself and value yourself the way you deserve, people around you, and yes, Men, will pick up on it, too.

Good luck. And I hope thing work out for you. You'll be in my thoughts.

macromorgan-

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your profile. If you were 10 years older and in CT, I'd be all over you like white on rice. Your profile is nice and concise. I get a nice glimpse of who you are, enough to peak my interest.

One suggestion: you need to beef up your photos. Give me a good head shot/close up of your smile and add some activity shots.

23, living on his own and employed. Amazing!
