Well, after spending a few weeks perusing the reviews and seeing the very same questions and the very same issues coming up again and again, I thought this *VERY USEFUL THREAD* should be revived, for the edification of all who seek help improving their profiles.
(From Msg 1:)Every day, I see people endlessly complaining and begging for help reviewing their profiles. "I changed this a million times and you (men/women/rodents) still won't answer my emails!" "OH! People in my town are all such SNOBS!" "What's wrong with (men/women/rodents) anyway?" "Why are people so RUDE?" "But I'm so *NICE*! Why can't I get a DATE?"
Well, babe, it's not your profile, it's YOU. And nine times out of ten, it's because you're a tool. Maybe you can't *help* being a tool, maybe you can, but you surely can't hide it.
Here's my advice: Don't come around asking for advice or searching for reasons or ways to blame others for your unpopularity. Just stand up, go to the mirror, look yourself straight in the eye, and ask yourself, "Dear God! Am *I* a tool?!?"
And don't LIE; you probably are or you wouldn't have to claim to be a NICE (guy/gal/etc) who just can't get those MEAN people to appreciate you, answer you, date you, whatever. Face the facts and work on being LESS of a tool, and maybe you'll get somewhere with the opposite sex some day.
Good luck to all you tools. I wish you the best, I honestly do.
So the moral of the story is...Don't be a tool. Look around you. It's a brand new day. Take a deep cleansing breath, sit back down and try to say something REAL on your profile.
And for heaven's sake, take off your baseball cap and sit up straight. No flashing gang signs, no beer bottles, and would it KILL ya to smile?!?
