| Want an honest review?
Posted: 2/25/2007 6:15:14 AM | This is the VERY same profile that I met my current girlfriend with. It hasn't changed a bit, except for the first line. Why do you care if I have a girlfriend and want my profile to be rated? She can read this stuff that I'm writing, so it isn't exactly a secret. However, I would like to know if I HAD/HAVE a good profile. I get the sense that there is some unwarrented resentment being projected here, just because I'd like a profile review.
As to why I'd like multiple... err, isn't that an obvious answer?!?!? Why on Eart would anyone only want ONE opinion when you can get 5? I swear, some people are so fickle and seem to avoid the obvious when in an online message board. | |

You need to add commas after your interests and not these things ;. That will allow your interests to come up in blue.
Headline is kinda boring...ok, is it totally boring. You need to find something catchy.
Your profile doesn't tell much about you. It's starting to read more like a resume than anything else and to be completely honest, I was totally turned off when you went on about your middle class family. I read, snob, snob, snob. Also, I seen that you mentioned that you like to be healthy and eat little junk food...yet you don't state whether or not you smoke, which means that I'm guessing you DO smoke...which is unhealthy.
I know more about what you don't want rather than what you do want. | |

I like the changes.
BTW, I'm pretty stressed right now I'm going to correct some of your spelling. Just the stuff that is driving me the most nuttiest right now anyway.  It's ladies, not ladys. And gentlemen, not gentleman.
And you need to add commas between your interests to make them come up on blue. | |

What a great profile. You manage to tell everything in just a few short lines...someday we'll have to discuss how one does that.
Your profile was a joy to read and thank you for the comments.  | |

When have I ever called anyone big, fat, or ugly? For one, the f word is probably the worst thing that could ever come across your lips to describe me. So I certainly wouldn't call anyone else that name.
You need better pictures. Both pictures are too far away to really see anything.
You need to add more interests. You should try for at least six...otherwise, you just look boring.
What is it you're looking for? I read through your profile twice and couldn't find out. | |

Oh, I didn't mean YOU stressed me.
When I get stressed, I become picky with spelling.
I had an interview on Friday...and now I have to have another one this Tuesday. 
Ugh.
At least it's late Sunday...that much closer to Tuesday at 11:30. *crosses fingers* | |

Actually, I think the only thing that is lacking is a better explaination of who you are looking for. You are really vague and it's not the best explaination.
So I would go back and beef that section up a bit. Other than that, great profile. | |

Wow...yer 46??? Dayum. I know that isn't necessarily a compliment...but I had you pegged at 32-33.
I think either picture 2 or picture 5 is a much clearer shot than the one you have as your main one right now.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but be careful about the bit about your mom. You have to remember that women are much more feely touchy then men can be and as a woman who read that, I just want to reach out and give you a hug and do what I can to make it easier. If that's the reaction you're looking for, keep it.
I haven't seen any of the above written in your profile. I think you should do a rewrite of your profile. Let us know more of what you want us to know. Look through this thread and see what you want to use from it:
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1262627.aspx
I personally have a short version myself. Use one paragraph for your interests, use one for what you offer in a relationship, and one for what you want her to offer. Don't tell us things over and over again: you can set up filters so that only women between the ages of 30-50 can contact you. So you don't need to worry about saying you only want x to contact you.
And it's ok to be picky. If you're looking for a relationship, you're not going to want every Jane Doe to contact you.
But here's a hug for what I know you're going through with your mom.  Take care. | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 6:07:58 AM | Hi there.
I'd like three things, actually.
1) I'd like an honest review of my profile, and feedback is always welcome.
2) Messaging question:
Obviously "unread deleted" is a superficial response, and so far I've had exactly one.
"Read deleted" is "I've checked you out, but I'm not interested"
What does it mean when she reads it, checks you out, and just leaves it sitting in her inbox?
Is it worth sending a follow-up hello, as with a job interview?
Or would a second message be seen as the beginnings of a stalking?
Long story short is that every message I send to a lady is absolutely original.
There's no mistaking my messages for someone who mass-emails everyone the same bland hello.
So, what's a woman's opinion on this?
There have definitely been a few profiles that have really caught my attention, and I want to at least make it to a few emails back and forth, even if it doesn't jump into offline meeting.
If reading and not deleting means that they're maybe interested, is a second message a good idea?
Thanks | |

I can't really suggest anything on your profile--it was a delight to read. You managed to not repeat a thing, not even an interest or anything. Do you write, by any chance? If not, I'd give it a shot.
As for read/unread deleted/undeleted messages and my opinion...personally, you always have to remember that you do not know who you are writing to. Sure, it may look like "Jane"...but may very well be Joe. Or could be a 13-year-old...or a 50-year-old. Maybe the person is just doing a "test". So if you get no response would I bother responding again? Probably not.
However...perhaps this person doesn't like to email. Maybe they only get an hour a day on the computer, they are using a public library so they prefer to chat. So if they don't have "please send an email my IM doesn't work" in their profile...would I attempt to send them an IM? Possibly. I know myself I'm never going to find the time to have a phone conversation with someone...but would always find the time to IM or email.
But I wouldn't lose any sleep over read/unread deleted emails either.
Oh, yes...just a quick comment on your headline. You say the glass is half filled...yet, the picture looks like it's about three-fourths filled...how about, slowly being filled or something else along those lines? | |

Oh my word...the things people will put in their profile.
I have to give you kudos for being honest that you're arrogant. However, I do not suggest leaving it there for any length of time. We ALL have bad qualities...and if we started listing them, we'd never have dates.
You state your perfect woman...and then state, well, I don't know if she exists, but I'll hang out with any other woman as long as she loves herself. And not only that, but you put the most important quality last...I'd definitely say that the most important quality in a woman is...and then work from there. If it isn't important, then leave it out. I'm not going to write you and say, well, I'm actually 5'2, never been outside my city, and only have a college diploma...but I love myself...will you date me? I'm going to read what you have listed, say I don't qualify, and skip to the next profile. I'd find other ways to say what you mean...for example, perhaps Lucy hasn't travelled...but is willing to travel...and what about Kendra...she's going to go back to school next year...do you see what I mean?
And the about you...you use one words to describe yourself...that you're the male version...and that you are funny, smart, good looking...btw, any profile that I come across that states that they think they are good looking, gets clicked over by me. I cannot stand arrogance. It may very well be true, but no need to boast about how wonderful you think you are. I'd go back and really tell who you are and stop commenting on things that people can see for themselves and start on things we can't. Imagine that you're trying to impress someone who's been blind their whole life. How far do you think you're going to get by telling them that you're good looking? | |
