You have a good start for your profile. You just need to expand on it. For instance, what are some of your interests? I always suggest you choose at least six to show versatility and expand on three in the about me section. Obviously your kids are important to you and that's a great thing to have in your profile.
I'd get rid of the one prefer not to say. It's negative and guaranteed the person reading it will always think the worst and will think that you're trying to hide something and are just trying to not be dishonest.
I'd just include more of who you are, the kind of person you are looking for, and the kinds of things you enjoy doing. Personally, when I'm reading a profile, I like to feel some sort of connection. I'm not someone who can just email you for no reason. Well, I have no reason to email you. I don't have kids so it's not like we have that in common. So I just wouldn't email you. I'm not going to email you to say you're sexy either. Pictures are nice to me, but profile is always better. Give me a reason to email you. 
I do like the pictures, btw. I like the black and white photo. Adds a bit of mystery and really catches a person's attention. Like the fact that you also have a color one in there as well. | |

I'm still going to comment on the no-picture thing.  Even if you don't have your picture up there, you should try to get a picture up there. For example, if you're really into flowers, maybe some pictures of flowers you've grown. Something that relates to you. No picture will get passed over and to be honest, looks like a person just has no personality whatsoever. Even if you have a picture of something that is important, at least you've told us something.
Interests are great! You should work on expanding on at least three of the more important ones in the about me.
I'm easy to entertain and always have something on my mind.
I appear to be very shy until you get to know me.
I dislike making decisions on a date because I seek to make others happy.
I love a good sense of humor and decent conversation.
If you're incredibly stupid then you're probably not for me, because I bore of those people easily.
I'm sweet, honest, and loyal; I'm just looking to hang out and have some fun.
By "have some fun" I don't mean sex; since some people seem to have that misconception, thought I better clear it up. I'm not all into free STDs and babies thank you.
How about exapanding on some of the things that you mention? And I'd take out the part about you making others happy. Because in reality what you are actually saying is that it's easy to get in my pants. Not saying that it is, but guys will pick up on the insecure bits of a profile and prey on that. It's best for you to be as positive as you can be.
And what is your definition of a stupid person? I'll bet it differs from other people. Let's just say a stupid person for you is someone who doesn't read. It's a lot better for you to put in there that you are looking for someone who reads, not someone who doesn't read. Tell us what you're looking for, not what you're not looking for.
And how about trying to fill in the first date bit? What are some things that you enjoy doing on a first date?
It's a good start. You know what you want, who you don't want. And I think that if you make some changes you can really make a killer profile. | |

Posted: 7/15/2006 9:25:38 AM | Okay, I changed it up a bit.
What's your honest opinion now?
And I've never thought of helping others and making others happy as a weak trait.
But I guess different people see things differently.
Still no pictures, yes I know.
Shame on me. | |

Much better.
Well, it's not necessarily that it is weak, but it can be perceived as a weak trait. It all depends on the person and you don't want to reveal to the wrong person that you're someone who likes to make others happy. Now, that is MY perception that I want to be as direct as possible in my profile because I know that I'm gullible and would fall for a guy being a friend of mine and then using me for sex. If it isn't you, and you know you wouldn't fall for it, then put what you want. It's all in your own perception.
But you really did a great job.
And no picture isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you're comfortable without a picture there. | |

Anyone ever tell you that you look like Jennifer Aniston with your hair straightened? That first picture you look a lot like her.
There's nothing wrong with your profile. You tell us what you enjoy doing, you tell us about yourself, and you tell us what you're looking for. Perhaps you might want to just expand on everything and write a little more if you can.
But in reality, that's the only suggestion I can make. Just tell more. But it's not broke so I can't fix it. Good job.
And can you tell me how to tell it all in less than a hundred words?  Takes me about a hundred thousand. | |

Firstly, I'd switch your profile pictures. The second one is a great shot of your face, eyes, and it just looks better than the first one.
i'm a fun loving girl who likes to take life and go for the ride. i'm not here for a one night stand, nor for a f#ck friend, so if that's what your after, go to someone else. i am looking for someone who can stimulate my brain, who i can have fun with, and just be able to hang out if we so desire. as of right now, i am not interested in a long term relationship, not to say that if the mr. right came along i wouldnt persue it.
Everyone on this site has probably gotten an unwanted email or IM at one time or another. It doesn't mean that every single guy (or girl) is going to do the same. And people don't appreciate being accused of doing something before they do it. So, the part about the f#ck buddy isn't necessary. There are other ways to reword something like that.
And with the last part...you've already told us that you're looking for hang out. No need to say that you're not interested in a long term relationship, because most people wouldn't enter one unless they were serious about the other person. It's just kind of redundant and not needed.
So what kinds of things excite you? What are some of your interests? What kinds of things stimulate your brain? What kind of a person are you looking for? You've told us who you're not looking for...time to take that out and tell us who you ARE looking for. | |

Much better, with the exception of one part. And if you've read any of my other reviews, you probably know what part it is. If not, it's the part about your reference to how your guitar playing sounds. Usually when someone is a beginner it does sound bad. So it's somewhat redundant to tell us something that's usually obvious. The fact that you have picked up a guitar and started to learn and are teaching yourself shows us plenty. You're not afraid to take the bull by the horns and do something different. No need to make that negative. And if you're able to teach yourself how to play guitar, shows me that you're very smart and you are probably very good in an emergency. You know how to think.
Good job.  | |

Ya know, I really, really didn't like your profile at ALL. First you actually want someone to correct your spelling mistakes, then you don't even put any in for me to correct! *is joking, don't worry*
Actually, I was very enlightened by your profile. I happen to have a love for the color purple myself. Actually, the whole last paragraph fit me to a t.
The only two things that bugged me was one, the reference to you being a nerd. Some people actually love to read and it doesn't make a person a nerd. Personally, I'll read anything. And I never knock a book until I've tried it. Shows your imagination and that says a lot about you. And the second thing, was the way you cut yourself off when you were talking about the AFC (I think). I personally would email you to (and feel free to email me if you wish) discuss more about it. It's people that know this stuff that educates the others. And if someone does say it's boring, well, that just shows their intelligence level.
And try to put more about who you'd like to be with.
Overall, it's a great profile. But as a lot of that stuff fits me, I'm probably more than a little biased. But you do a good job in telling us who you are. | |

Posted: 7/15/2006 6:15:56 PM | Thanks for the review. You made me actually make an attempt at writing something.
I see how one could perceive the trait the wrong way. Never really looked at it from that angle before. Thanks for the heads up!
So its "much better" but I sense there is still something else you'd change? 
Have at it! Is it the puppy comment? haha | |

Yes you nailed it, I am that guy everybody seems to want to share everything with. At times, I consider it at a curse, but I suppose in the grand scheme of things, it's not such a bad thing afterall.
I appreciate your feedback | |

Actually, I rather like the puppy comment. And it also tells us that you have a puppy, so therefore you like dogs.
Nope, I wouldn't change anything. That's not my job. It's positive and tells us about you. It's up to yourself to decide whether or not you want to change anything. Keep doing those profile reviews as you've been doing and that should give you a lot of ideas. You're doing a good job with them, btw. | |

Oh, my gosh. You are an absolute doll! You're right there, there isn't a lot like me. And I prefer to keep it that way, too. I don't know why I'm still single for...guess I just haven't met the right one yet.
You do look like her in that picture. Yeah, it can be frustrating to not have any luck, always makes me wonder what I could do differently. But it's not always your profile. Sometimes it's just bad fish. | |

Regarding the pictures, no, I personally don't think you look mean. I personally realize that since you're a writer and artist, you're probably also someone who likes to think. And if you're busy thinking, then you're busy looking at all angles of everything, which gives a person very little to smile about. Personally, smily people creep me out. How in the world can they possibly be THAT happy? Yes, I know that I'm smiling in every one of my pictures. But that's just because it's what I'm supposed to do. I never smile and people naturally assume I'm depressed. Well, no, that's not it.
I think for someone like yourself, who is creative and artistic, your profile is lacking your personality through and through. Your profile is that of someone who has a minimal personality, who doesn't like to write, who doesn't like to express themself. Is that you? I don't know you personally, but from what you've written, I don't think it is, is it?
BTW, love the part about the transplant. I always love people who can just interject things in their profile. | |
