Posted: 7/9/2006 9:55:38 PM | Makes it a point to say she isn`t looking for someone and is just here to do the forums and chat with friends yet goes on and on and on  into great detail about her idea of a first date.
Other than that.........She writes very well with much creativity and reflects a very compassionate woman with very lovely eyes and super cute cheek bones. | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 4:31:21 AM | In my opinion I see a lot wrong with your profile.
1) The first line in your profile states that the first thing people notice about you is your sense of humor. And I didnt find anything funny in your profile. Most people with a sense of humor as great as you stated would have something funny to say in their profile.
2) All of your pictures looked staged. Like they were planned out or something. Not a good sign.
3) You didn't mention a word about your family or loved ones or friends. Except you did mention friends in the cooking area. But thats it. Kinda strange I think.
4) You seem like you are out of work. I can't really explain why but trust me you come off as being someone who is between jobs. Im not saying your lieing or anything Im just telling you my opinion.
5) the last thing is that for some reason you seem hyper. When reading your profile you are all over the place. I could be trippin on that one but thats just the feeling I got.
Other than that everything else seems ok. Good luck in your search | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 7:12:52 AM | | Becuase my profile is the truth. Not some sugar coated version of what I think these women want to see like most of the profiles on this site. I figure why not be honest from the beginning rather than waste your and hers time. Tell her exactly who you are and how you feel. I might have been a lil to honest and I will take that into account though. thanks for your input | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 7:21:38 AM | | one more thing to billbutler8 I sm no expert when it comes to profiles as you can see mine is a mess with typos and stuff but thats who I really am. Either they like me for who I am or they dont. If they dont then good luck to them if they do then lets talk. At least they know who they are talking too and the negatives. Everyone has negative things about them. And usually the neg things surface sooner than one expects and thats when things come to hault and id the neg things about you are things that she cant live with. Then its wasted time for both of you. I dont know maybe the way im thinking is wrong and everyone else has got it right. regardless I still choose to be real and proud of who I am even the neg things. | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 7:33:41 AM | | what is this...gang up on Bill Butler day? Oh the profile above me? Lemmie see...nope! nothing that was not covered by brooklyn...and HotMikey himself. A bit wordy, but maybe that's just to extenuate the poor grammer, poor word usage and the spelling errors he seems to be so proud of... | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 9:52:09 AM | You need to change the wording in your profile... You used "I" and its variants over 50 times! With each of those 50 "I" you give out WAAAAY too much "general" info about yourself. None of which is very specific or eye catching.
I wouldn't be surprised if women in general have some difficulty asking questions about you since she already has the cliff notes version of it already. Try implement some hooks in your verbiage... that way it'll be easier to pull women into your profile and read further.
I would also ditch the picture of you in the hat & shades, and the one with the scarf... its borderline homo/metro.

Posted: 7/10/2006 10:06:49 AM | thanks, I'll send it over to the profile review department.
I don't know, but my thought is that the info in the profile should be general in nature...maybe I am mistaken, but I'm not sure how to work much detail into it without it becoming a big ole rambling mess. Providing a snapshot is what a profile should be in my opinion.
on the metro / whatever comment..you are just too young to know: it's a bandana...and if it's anything..it's way too late 70's..more retro than metro... this one a Jerry Garcia artwork print. | |

The problem with "general" is that if you look at all of the other profiles of males on here... its "general." General = Generally boring. The women who will click on your profile will usually do so with 1 of 3 reasons.
1) You are an attractive guy
2) Have an interesting picture or prop
3) You had a witty comment.
If you get past the first three qualifiers they will read your profile. However if its the same dribble that the last 30 guys that emailed her.. guess what? They'll pass you over just like they would with spam emails, junk mail, phone solicitors, and fliers that are put on their cars.
If you reveal "general" information about yourself... it says you're generally boring as oppose to being well rounded. Think about the way news stations get you to watch. They give you tidbits of info thats provocative, interesting, and unusual so it draws you in. If they just told you what happened in those 45 second commercials you wouldn't bother watching the whole show.... and the funniest part is that they will usually wait till the last 5-10 minutes of the news report to tell you what they advertised earlier to keep you watching. It works the same way emailing women on dating sites. 
Read my profile for example... it says absolutely nothing about me but its entertaining, interesting, and draws you in. Women find it charming, witty, brash, and they know you are qualifying them and not the other way around. At no point do I supplicate them or seek their approval. It conveys confidence, being fun/mysterious, and unpredictability. Women love it because they actually have to do some work to get to know you!
As for the bandanna check with random females or even gay guys. They are fashion experts! When I last check retro usually means what was popular 20 years earlier. So whats in fashion now is tasteful 80's excess and other trendy junk. Hippie/Grateful Dead stuff was in fashion again in the early 90s ... especially right after Jerry died in 95.
Hope that helps.

Your profile "may" draw someone in but then they soon get lost (or disoriented) in all the rambling gobbledegook !!!
And when someone gets lost (or disoriented) they look for the nearest exit......... | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 2:36:51 PM | blown383..thanks for your comments which I believe to be well intended. I don't necessarly agree with you at all about "generalities" in my profile being too vauge or, well general!
When writing my profile I actually looked at several of the profiles men in my age group had written about themselves. Besides most being filled with bad grammer, poor word usage, and crazy spelling errors (I won't go into my usual rant about that on this post), I found that most all said basically the same things: Oh, I am honest , trustworthy, blah, blah...I like fine dining, blah, blah...walks on the beach. And those were the "good ones"
Many had dribble. Such as, two sentences. "I'm a roofer, and weekends I go fishing (fishin) and hunting (huntin) with my dog. Would ya like to meet at the Tastee-Freeze sometime?" Not to offend anybody that enjoys fishing, I enjoy fishing as well. This is just an example of a very sparse profile. So don’t flame my a s s for that! Find something else to flame me about!
After looking at these profiles I intended to make mine stand out a bit more than the crowd. There a problem with space, so it is very necessary to keep things general as possible. I think the idea is to just create a “snapshot” of ones self with the end result creating an accurate description.
It is not possible to go into a stand-up routine, for example to support the notion that I can be hilariously funny. I think “I enjoy banter and wit” is sufficient. When I meet someone, there is the time to check each other out and have fun….enjoy some banter & witty conversations. How can that possibly be demonstrated in a profile anyway?
I mention a few things in very basic terms, and women are not dumb. When I state “I like conversation”, “looking for an intelligent woman”, mentioning that reading is important. Most who are of the more intellectual type, who enjoys having conversations about current events, a recent read? Those are the types I want to attract, and those are the type who responds.
Maybe you are just looking at this with a different perspective.
Just the necessary disclaimer that I am in in no way a person who would be defensive about anything like this, just wanted to comment on a few of yours. | |
