Talon,

Awful header, must remove immediately. I get the point (no pun intended) but not everyone will. Instead of a header stating what you want, how about a header saying something about what the woman will get if she chooses you?

You are a good looking man but you have awful pictures. Primary one has a dragon poster in the background - yuck, plus its too dark. Second shot - what the hell is that? Get rid of boys in blue photo. You look like an 11 year old boy scout. Third picture is the best of the three but still not flattering.

Need new photos ASAP. At least two should be close-ups of you smiling. Always check out whats in the background.

As for the text...
How to describe myself when there is so much to describe so in short a space;
Get rid of that. Unnecessary and not true.


Generally I'm a nice guy I see no reason to cause anyone any kind of trouble.
Why are you saying this? Remove.


I'm horrible dancer but that can't stop me from making a fool of myself and according to my friends a bit stuborn, occasionally aloof but always there when needed;
What??? Why are you degrading yourself?


a sucker for a cute smile,
NOW THIS I LIKE. CONSIDER MAKING THIS YOUR HEADER.


One more thing if you do try to contact me please put some thought into the subject if "hi, hi there and hey" and similar aren't acceptable for men on the site to use for messages it should be the same for women too.
NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE. Remove and get over it.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

decent one,

Wow...where to begin. I don't know if English is your second language or you are used to text messaging abbreviations so much that you've forgotten how to speak and write well.

The basic message of your profile is good, but most people get really annoyed reading text in all lower case letters with a lot of slang and text messaging lingo. This is how I felt reading yours.

You use the ...lol... WAY too much. Don't need it.

Use spell check and punctuate.

You are a good looking guy, the picture you have is fine but you need more. At least one body shot and a couple with you smiling - looking happy.

Good Luck!

racefan,

I don't need to tell you that you're hot...you must know that. Unfortunately, because you are so good looking, you are going to attract a lot of women. Women who may or may not be what you are looking for. You need to accept that and not **** about it in your profile. That is a huge turn off...even to Ms. Right.

Recommend you remove the following section post haste.
UPDATE: Maybe I need to be a little more specific about what I'm looking for. The following is a small list of things that u must possess:

-A recent picture that actually looks like you
-A job or some form of regular income
-A life plan
-A good idea of what you are looking for (I know what I want)
-The ability to be honest (nobody likes a liar)

I hope I don't sound bitter as I'm definitely not...have had some questionable experiences though, maybe I'm just too picky ;)


One other thought. Don't just sit back on your laurels and wait for the women to come to you...start reading profiles and go out searching for the woman who is right for you. Imagine how pleased she will be that such a hunk sought her out.

Good Luck!

I know exactly whats wrong with your profile. Your photo. Although you are beautiful, and have a great smile:

#1. It is too blurry
#2. You only have one

As for the text, I found the word 'honesty' used way too much. Seriously think about saying it once (or not at all) and making it a bit more about what you like, not what you don't.

As for
First DateFirst dates.
Well, you know right away if there is chemistry or not. But you will never know unless you allow yourself to be vulernable and just go for it. My only requirement for a first meeting is that it's during the day and in a public setting so we can talk, to see if the conversation is slow or if it flows.
delete entirely. This is like...duh! All women feel this way. Most men feel this way. Don't waste your time stating the obvious. Put something clever or nothing at all.

Good Luck!

neverduplicated,

Your photo screams ANGRY BLACK MILITANT but your text tells a different story. It describes an educated, cultured, likeable IBM.

You have a very nice face and gorgeous lips. Do they ever smile? Say it with me..."NEW PHOTOS, NEW PHOTOS, NEW PHOTOS"!

Text. You have the audacity to have your preference set to 'the world' meaning, the only criteria you've selected is the respondent needs to be female. Then you put this statement in your profile.
I need someone who is physically fit and able to keep up with my varied interests. I have no absolute physical requirements in a woman and have dated women who look quite different in the past. I do prefer women who take care of themselves and are slim to average in build. While not an absolute necessity, I do appreciate a woman with an education.


C'mon...which is it? Want a woman with a pulse or a woman as described above?

My recommendation is to open your heart and your mind as much as you've opened up your preference setting.

The perfect woman for you could have EVERYTHING you've asked for, but be overweight. SO WORK OUT WITH HER, COOK HEALTHY FOODS WITH HER AND HELP HER OVER THAT LAST HURDLE.

There are soooo many wonderful women on this site who have it all, they just happen to have a little too much weight. Why do you guys over look them?

decent one - WOW, you've made remarkable changes. I can officially rate you as a hottie now!

Picture #3 is awesome. Make that your primary photo please.

Look, you still have challenges in the writing department, so why not begin your speech by saying "English is not my first language, please bear with me"

I LOVE this new line you added
let me stop here, profile should be like a "skirt" long enough to cover important things and short enough to maintain intrests


Looking good my friend. I'll bet you get tons of e-mails now...but don't be afraid to go knocking on someone's (e-mail) door yourself. Especially with that new photo. Swoon!

I was on here for bout a wk & got no contacts at all with my 'Average' Picture but the minute i changed it to a pic of me poledancin i was suddenly inundated with men who want to jump my bones, involve me in their role plays & generally want me to sleep with them.
They've not all been like that, have chatted to some nice genuine people but even then either i made the 1st move or it was my pic that caught their attention in the 1st place. Strange huh???? Not when the male brain thinks the way it does, hehe

I'm not doing too bad here but perhaps you could help me do better. Great advice you've given to the other posters by the way!

To explain the Stop signs...
I've been rejected or dumped too often for things that should have been apparent long before meeting. To me "online dating" should act as a screening service to keep me separated from those that cannot tolerate my not drinking, or offering to open a door for them. I just don't want people to skip over that. If you have a suggestion for having the same effect without it being an eyesore, that would be welcome. Thanks!

Well it sounds ok to me so i do not know why you are having trouble, if I was younger I would writer.
On my profile I wanted honest people- no lies and i guess that does not fit alot of men out in this world as with your request of women may be the same.
Just cut short what you want as you are maybe turning them away with giving so much od yourself1
Hope that help, GOOD LUCK
