Oh, in your case I'll make an exception! I just put that in my profile because I dated older than 45 recently and it was a disaster!

hmm. what's wrong with it... the only thing I can think of, is that he didn't say much about himself, just what he wants to find.

Well, kedrell, your profile is quite interesting. You give out some really personal information there that might be better off left for when you know someone a little bit.

I know you are being honest, but having your hobbies as comic books and the internet are probably not going to score you any points with any ladies reading your profile. You don't have to lie, but you also don't have to reveal everything!

But this is all just my opinion. Maybe you want to just be totally 100% honest and hope it works out. I think that most people though, without knowing you in person, will just get weirded out and not even want to get to know you.

just my $.02

you need to format your interests by putting a comma between each one. the comma is a very simple html tag that will make your interests clickable links to others with the same interest.

Also, capitalize your interests, as they will appear neater.

Your pictures are fine.

go into more detail about your life and who you are in the "About Me" section.

You spelled picnic wrong but I am just being pic-key.

ocgirl: well, I can't decide. I have a little baby flab there no one can see. Maybe I will change it back after I do 100 million sit-ups. I am just a "few extra" and not more than that.. the scales at the supermarket tell me I am "obese". But thats probably just the boobs LOL.

PS: And for once in my life, I didn't mind being called "AVERAGE"!!

Woodstock,

Generally a good profile but some suggestions. So it's qualified upfront, what I say isn't personal, it's just about making your profile more accessible.

- Change the Long Term to Dating, obviously if you hit it off dating, it will probably end up Long Term eventually. Saying Long Term can be perceived as desperation. Not saying that it will be, but that it could be.

- Says "Yes" to children, might want to clarify if you mean you are cool with single mothers or you want kids of your own or you are open to both. Since there are so many single mothers, you might want to clarify that.

- Says you are "Divorced", might want to cover how long ago you were divorced, i.e. if it was recent, most women probably won't find that situation desirable. They don't want to be a rebound, deal with lingering feelings, etc. Not saying you have to go into gory detail, but some light specifics in the timeline would help a little if the divorce was distant.

- Talk about your career a little. Women will key off of your career and what they perceive you will earn. If you are in charge of others at your job, say so. If your job gives you alot of time flexibility, say so. Push the pluses.

- Your About Me and First Date are sort of vague. Sounds like you are unsure of what you want and are ok with anything. Which is cool, since in real life, chicks choose anyway. However in this medium and this context, it would help to be clear about the things you are looking for, the things you aren't looking for, and the things you would like to do. It sells confidence and self assurance. Talk about tangible quality of life issues. Would you date a single mother? A smoker? A drinker? See what I mean. Women will key off of what you have to offer, they will ignore most of the rest.

- Add at least one more profile shot of yourself, so women can gauge your entire physical appearance. Dark colors help. Showing yourself in some activity you enjoy helps.

More than anything, I'd suggest selling more of the idea that you are a confident dude who has his shit together and has alot to offer and you know what you want all the time. I think it would help.

Like I said, what I said isn't personal, it's meant to be constructive and in your best interests. Good profile overrall.

Good luck man.

Damn...

His profile is awesome. Laughed so hard, it brought me to tears. *sigh* I actually can't find anything wrong with it. I must be slipping...

EDIT:

PS...I have done #'s 10, 7, 5 & 1 on the Top 10 List. Does that make me a bad person?

OC: Your profile is 100 times better than the old one. Great job!!

I saw a couple of things tho:
I like the bi and gay peoples since one of my friends is one.


Rather, you could say something like "I respect those of the Gay population as I have some good friends among them." Also, change the punctuation so Gays aren't grouped with animals.

As for pics, some are very flattering and some aren't. You have a beautiful face and its very apparent in some of the pics.

Also I would drop the reference to McDonalds. If the guy isnt bright enough to figure that out then you know you wouldnt want to date him anyways.

Good luck!

Stock profile. Nothing unique about it. I am not inferring that is a bad thing, simply saying, there is nothing here that would jump up and grab my attention. But who said he wanted my attention anyways, eh?

Might not be the best idea to have a picture of you picking your nose up there, but other than that it looks fine.
