| What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread?
Posted: 6/27/2006 11:44:35 PM | Actually, on this one a few things ring out pretty quick.
1) The profile name. The last time I checked the Kootie's what EXACTLY what no one wanted. LOL
2) No body pictures. It's not like you have to show some cleavage or naked stomach or anything; but even if you are a full figured woman or a few extra pounds or even athletic it's always good to show how it's porportioned. Also many people have a different interpretation of a few extra pounds or athletic or whatever. Only having pictures of your face leaves people guessing and in order to not seem rude or nasty they can't ask you for any because if they don't like them what would they do then.
3) Loose the pictures of your cat. Cat women are notorious for being wierd and the fact that you love your cat so much to put a picture of it on your profile is enough to scare off many a guy.

Posted: 7/1/2006 11:42:30 PM | It's a great profile, I think maybe the 50's wife thing might come off a little intimidating to some men, but it definitely sounds like you know what you are looking for. Your comment about change (not liking it but being able to adapt to it...) might be something you want to rethink (especially if you like ideas that just come to you and the little adrenaline rush that comes with change)...plus my own 2 cents of... I was always taught "if you do the same thing the same way everytime, you will alway get the same result". ...change is progress!
This is meant to be constructive and I hope you take in that light 
Best of Luck! | |

Posted: 7/2/2006 11:59:58 PM | Waaaayyy too many of the: bye:        things going on.... makes the profile very busy and hard to read. Humor is very good ...... a lil crude with the smoke rings up your ass comment...... My 2 cents: lose about 48 of the dancing happy face things and use about 3 strategically placed. | |

You have a nicely written profile. Some light suggestions though.
- I think it would help if you were more specific if you wanted more children or not. For alot of guys, that uncertainty is kind of a dealbreaker. Even for single dads who might want to date you.
- Might help if you were slightly more specific with your profession. Since you are divorced and have kids, I think where you are career wise is going to be a factor for who asks you out. (Men have the perception that divorced women with children will be a larger financial cost than a single one) If you are in Management in something lucrative like Pharmaceutical Sales, I think that would help to state that.
- I would remove 'Long Term' , I think its implied that anyone who dates a single mother has to consider long term, but its probably going to screen out some guys right away ( guys who are on the fence about dating single mothers )
- Your About Me, maybe you could put space between the paragraphs, might be a little easier for some to read. People see large chunks of compressed text, they tend to skim over it instead of reading it.
- Your About Me, I think it would be helpful to list specific wants and dealbreakers. Yes it would reduce the number of responses you get in total, but it would also increase the quality of responses you do get
- Your About Me, I'd list how many children you have and what age. I think this again will filter men out some, but it would also simplify things for men who may be ok with kids, but maybe have different views on them depending on their age. (Older kids are tougher to deal with, unfortunately )
- In your First Date area, if you cook, I'd play that up a little more. This isn't meant to come off as sexist about views about women in the kitchen, but men do love women who can and will cook and many see it as a display of affection/a sense of bonding versus some kind of old fashioned gender bias.
- In general, I would be much more specific. Your dating pool will likely be older men, those are guys who are appreciative of women who are clear what they want or don't want and say it. Your About Me is very generalized. In some ways I'd treat this like a resume, hit the key points but don't have alot of detail text.
- Your profile tagline is - cnt win if u dont play I alwys ply2 win. IMHO its too long and its not catchy. You want something that will make people take a second of pause instead of passing your profile over.
All in all a good profile, I do think my suggestions are minor tweaks, but I do think they would help some. Just trying to be honest here.
Good luck to you. | |
