| What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread? Posted: 8/27/2006 11:24:20 AM | | For the most part, your profile is great (love the new pic, BTW).....BUT.....'prefer not to say'? Okay, immediately upon reading this, I (and everyone else that reads ANYONE'S profile) is going to come to the immediate conclusion that yes, you are a smoker. Why not just say it? Isn't something you are going to be able to hide...*L* Unless of course, you are in the process of quitting, but still put 'occasionally' & then elaborate in your 'about me' section. | |

lotslove68,
Well, you seem honest in your profile, that's for sure. So I think that's a positive thing.
Some issues to consider, and I'm going to be honest here, so this is not personal,
- Well the first thing I notice is your height. I wouldn't call you extremely short, but you are probably smaller than many other caucasian males in America. That's going to limit your dating pool some, lots of women like taller men, that's no big secret. Unfortunately the way you come across in your profile is short. There a long shot of you where you are scaled out to a ceiling and a door, sorry it makes you look shorter than you are. (Or it might make you look as short as you really are, which is just as bad) There is another picture where you are scaled out to the door, again making you look smaller. Then there are three pictures of huge speakers and what looks to be an entertainment center. Again, the perception could come across that you are trying to compensate for your size.
- Your photos, you've got two with tank tops and another in a distant profile shot. To be honest, no one can really make out your face too well. Without a closer photo, I don't know if women can fairly gauge your looks. The photo with white tank top, looks like you are pushing out your biceps underneath your crossed arms with your fists. I haven't seen that since the DVD cover of The Outsiders with Tom Cruise doing the same thing. The two tank top shots, sorry but it looks like a middle of the road compromise. It's not shirtless, but it appears you aren't cut up enough to be shirtless and have that wow women. So to be honest, not sure what you are trying to achieve with the photos, unless you wear tank tops/wife beaters all day long. Your physical build looks stocky, which only makes you look shorter, and the choice of clothing you are wearing in the photos make you look shorter. (Dark colors might help you some there) This might not be your desire or intention, but it looks like you are trying to compensate for your size in the way your photos come across. Maybe a different array of photos would help you more.
- You list "Long Term", which IMHO, looks desperate for a guy.
- You have Undecided/Open for children, which looks like you don't know what you want, which kind of looks desperate for a guy
- Your interests say "Self Improvement", and there's nothing wrong with self improvement, but it's not really a selling point for dating. It kind of makes you look like you have issues that are unresolved, and that's probably not attractive to women.
- Your career says Industrial Technician, you might want to discuss a little more indepth on what you do and your career track, so women can gauge out your earning power ( whether men like it or not, it matters)
- In your About Me area, you talk about 1) your faults 2) shyness, anxiousness, impatience 3) snuggling 4) romance 5) fear of regrets (which denotes fear in general and the perception that you might be regretting alot already) It doesn't come across as confident/masculine and sorry to say, but a lack of confidence/masculinity is Woman Kryptonite. Might help to talk about yourself in strictly positive terms, also using paragraphs might help you there as well.
- In your First Date area, you basically say you'll do whatever the other person wants. Again, reinforcing the idea/perception that you don't know what you want and that you might be desperate.
I hate to say this, and this is not personal, but you have what appears to be a textbook case of what a person, with seemingly good intentions, should not to do with a profile if they actually want to date. You seem like a sincere person, which I think is a positive, but it only tends to compound the fact that you'd almost be better off with a blank profile than the one you have now. Sorry man, just being honest here, I think it could use a major overhaul.
Good luck to you. | |

Posted: 8/27/2006 5:51:27 PM | well dude it was just to long to bother reading..... when a profile is started with a quiz or riddle it seems arrogant....it does not describe you, it just gives an expectation from me. when I want to play games......I play with the kids | |

I think if they like your look, you are in, your creativity is already a winner for sure!
"1st date hmmmm.I would like it to be public,but quiet.leave the whole day open in case you never want to leave......but with an escape route (just in case).If you want to kiss me...do it! Until that happens you never know."
Great first date idea you wrote in your profile I think!
I'm buyin'!
Peace | |

Putting computers as your ONLY interest makes you come off as a little nerdy...add some other things that might interest you. Other then that you seem like a nice sincere guy. | |

| What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread? Posted: 8/28/2006 7:57:05 AM | Firstly- this thread is hit and miss- reading here I see people who "get" the point of it and others who post halfassidly- ripping them off of a good discription of "what is wrong with the persons profile above you"....
I think if you aren't into reading how you could improve- get outa here.
IF you aren't willing to read the entire profile- pick up a cross word puzzle and beat it outa here- this is not a thread for you.
O.T I think telling someone what you absolutley hate isn't positive and encouraging anyone to know more. It comes across one dimentional and flat, black and white- bit conservative.. which is good if you are, but your list of interests tends to say that you like to fool around and have lots of fun. You repeat yourself about your interests in the blerb and then again in the point form... did you re-read it to notice that? you have spent the whole profile talking about you ~without letting anyone know what you are looking for- what you want- unless you really mean you want someone to entertain you? I love the name- like the pictures.. | |

| What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread? Posted: 8/28/2006 1:22:51 PM | Good point but tyhe point of this thred is to be funny. Anyway onto yours: Not much is wrong with this brief exception: You really, really, really need to quit with the whole telling guys what their doing wrong thing. Its a major turn-off to go to someones profile and see that. | |

| What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread? Posted: 8/28/2006 1:41:47 PM | 1) The wife beater pics.... gotta go... I dont know if it was done intentionally... but it looks like youre flexing... from what Ive heard... most women dont like that...
2) Theres one sentence near the beginning I think where you point out youre faults... thats a no-no.... Trust me.. once someone gets to know you.. they will discover youre faults on their own... and who knows... might even point them out for you at every opportunity...
3) A little bit sappy.... the word hugs... cuddles.... whatever... should not be in a guys profile... nothing wrong with being sensitive guy... hell... I am too... most women like that.... but again.... something that does not need to be brought up in a profile....
thats just my opinion...but what the hell do I know right???? | |

-OT- I see some misspelled words but the message is very good, especially for such a young woman. Somehow I don't think she will have much trouble.
PS Leave my wifebeaters alone
PPS And NO I am not flexing my bicep. It just happens my hand is under it. I did check out the cover of The Outsiders DVD as someone had mentioned and it is pretty cool and I like it.

Posted: 8/29/2006 10:57:40 AM | | Very funny - nice attention grabber with the numbered list and the jokes are good - shows your sense of humor. You should get someone else to take the pics for you so you can have a few from farther away. Also, don't ever post a pic with you shirtless where you cannot even see your face - that's just tacky. | |
