Posted: 4/10/2006 7:36:25 PM | Hi Garf,
Thanks for your great suggestions!
I have tried to implement them the best I could - I really like myself but for some odd reason find it hard to go beyond my job (not that I'm a workaholic!!) so thanks for pointing that out. I wish I could write funnier but we can't be good at everything can we!?
As well, added interests...as I do have them but I tried not to go over board. Unfortunately I am not unique with my first date but added it just the same as that is what I want. I also added a new pic & rotated the big smile to the first one...as you aren't the only one who said that was their favourite! 
Thanks again for all of your input - please re-review and point out any other gaffs that you think I should rectify!
Have a good one!

Aside from not filling out your job...even putting in something silly would be better than a blank...the rest is fabulous!  | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 9:33:54 PM | Thanks again Garf
Fabulous point - I knew I would forget something!
Now it's properly completed so now I can go play!
You have got some great skills when it comes to editing!!
Rock on!  | |

Because I was originally here for the forums...meeting someone was a pleasant bonus. I'm still here for the forums.
agent_99:
You have a great list of interests, but your "About Me" description is more suited for "Hang Out" or "Talk/Email" than it is, for "Dating"
Talk about yourself, less than your interests. Who are you, and what are some of your goals?
Be a little less vague about who you are looking for...tell us more about him.
Lists of favorites aren't something I suggest.
Fill out your first date section.
Do this, and I'll help you refine it later.
schoop:
Spelling.
Your "About Me" is ok, but the sentences aren't in order...arrange them so they make sense, according to topic/subject.
Your first date is too intimate. Something less...intense.
I'll check it out again once you touch it up a bit, and then I'll help you refine it some. | |

Posted: 4/13/2006 1:11:46 PM | Well Garf I will step right up to the plate and give you a review. First love that Headline and the fact you are King of the Squirrels does make you stand out. This is the place to look for nuts 
You dare to be different and by the way love the fact you show intelligence by bringing up the fact we live in the 49th parallel of latitude. We are equal with Northern California.
I can hear a lot of hearts cracking when you make it clear that you have a wonderful SO in your life.
Your profile causes a smile to break out. Now Garf I would mention you are sending out Easter cards. Sweetie, Christmas is over till Dec 25 lol.
Someday let me know when you put the blinders on the horses and glide lol.
All in all you have my  and by the way Happy Easter to you.
Classy | |

Don:
Good to hear that something I said has shown results, it makes the whole process worthwhile.
Now if you can get some pics of that Harley, maybe a shot from over your shoulder as you're flying down a dirtroad...that would kick ass. You know, so it shows the handlebars, and the world as you see it when you're doing 70 with the dust behind you, and grasshoppers in your teeth.
Well...don't take pictures of the grasshoppers, but you know what I mean, lol. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 2:22:49 PM | Hi,
Ready and willing to be reviewed. Pic not going to change for a bit...I think it looks like me but my friends have said it doesn't reflect how attractive I am. Am practicing the hair toss in the meanwhile. lol. | |

I like your headline, "Life is funny!" I'd stretch it into an invitation. "Life is Funny, let's laugh together!" or something along that line.
Your profile is very simple, but there's nothing there that really jumps out and says,, "I need Nachos NOW!" 
Expand your interests.
A list is something that can work against you as much as for you, and most of the things you look for are things that should be obvious...."Honesty, monogamous, not a complete twit...etc." Men your age should know better, and women your age should know the signs to look for to determine a complete twit or not. I mean no offense, but you're not 18, you have some experience in weeding out bad apples by now. I hope.
Ok, so you didn't say "complete twit"...I'm paraphrasing, lmao.
You can go into your mail settings, and block smokers.
Tell us a little about who you are on a spiritual level, as well as a romantic level.
Elaborate on a second date.
First dates are always coffee and long walks to find a place to dump the body.
Be conversational, and offer something that a guy can respond to with little effort, since so many guys are shy online, for some reason. The guys who aren't, usually aren't the guys you'd be looking for.
Good luck, try changing it up a bit...experiment, and when you're done, I'l re-review it for you, and refine it to shine. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 5:14:49 PM | Hey Garf,
Been reading the thread and I think you have very concise opinions, I would appreciate a review if you get a chance. Not having as much luck as I hoped. Anything to help would be great. Thanks. | |

Is that pic up to date? If it is...good stuff!
Extrapolate? Don't you mean elaborate?
Once again, a profile that is simple, and easy to read.
Pretend for a minute that all guys are dumb, and won't read anything longer than a page from Dr Seuss before getting distracted by the sports page...short sentences, and right to the point of the matter.
Break what you have into two or three short paragraphs, with spaces between the paragraphs to make it look easier to read.
The content is good, but a little disorganized. Arrange it according to topics, and it'll look great.
Add interests.
If gardening is an interest of yours, then put it down. If slapping clowns is an interest, then put it down. Nothing is too obscure, that there won't be at least one person who shares it.
Talk about yourself a bit more, and let's see what you can come up with.
Revise it, and I'll review it... | |

The pic of you giving the finger horns is awesome, lol...good for a main pic.
"Does anyone here..." ...no. But the ones that do, don't read profiles that start with this. It must go, lol.
You could insert a password into your profile somewhere for guys to email you with, if you want to find the ones who read your profile. Put it in the middle of a paragraph, in the middle of your profile..."If you put this password in the headline, then I'll respond to your email...the password is 'goober butt'." or something like that.
Basically the first paragraph is kinda negative, so kill it. I say this with zero bias or contempt, only with your interests in mind...so don't get mad, lol.
You can restrict people who email you, according to their height in your email settings.
The last three paragraphs are unneccessary. Weed them as they come to you. Negativity in profiles means less people will contact you, unfortunately.
Tell us about you and your goals... | |

| Well everyone else is doing it.
Posted: 4/23/2006 6:37:14 PM | Thanks, garf. That was hilarious. I AM trying to weed out the twits...I'm afraid you're a bit naive...lots of fellas don't think the things I'm looking for are obvious...you wouldn't believe how many tell me I'll never find someone with all those qualities!
I'll look at it again...guess I don't like opening up much in the profile because I've had one guy who said he "knew" me because he'd "studied" my profile...creepy. Would rather have them ask some questions.
Totally agree on the lists of interests. Now where is my thesaurus? Walking, strolling, rambling... | |

| Well everyone else is doing it.
Posted: 4/23/2006 8:36:51 PM | New profile is done. Feeling very positive all of a sudden. He's out there...I met someone about a week ago at a dance that fit the bill...unfortunately, he was at the dance with his girlfriend. lol. But, it proved "the one" just might exist for me!
Do it again, garf. I'm ready. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 11:08:08 PM | | Garf, luv your forum, your profile was great for a laugh, and just wanted to say thanks for the intertainment! Go ahead and review if you want.. be gentle! | |

Your name is a little impersonal and hard to remember, you can still change it if you go into "Edit Profile" and then into "Edit More Registration Details like passwords HERE,..." (Click on HERE)
If you email me, I can send you something that will make sense to add to your profile.
Negativity kills profiles. Get rid of it. "This sucks..." is not a good way to make yourself endearing to women, lol.
The Sherlock Holmes comment probably sends women running when they read it...very bad. You might as well say "women suck" in your headline, to save them time. (Don't do that, by the way.)
How about something along the lines of, "I like someone who's direct with their feelings, and doesn't need prodding to speak their mind."...it might work a little better, and it has the same message.
And then immediately after the Holmes statement...you say you're a closet romantic...
Pick one!
My suggestion would be to keep the closet romantic and everything that follows it, right the way it is. The Olympic thing is kinda cheesy, but chicks diggit. 
Lol...the first date is great. Leave it alone. Touch it, and I'll scooch hot Mexican food on you.
All in all, I think the only thing your profile needs, is to be rid of the negativity, and inject some positivity in its' place. You're a pretty good writer, so I think you can accomplpish this without me any further, but if you want...I can review it when you give it a little overhaul. | |
