| What Makes a good Profile verses a bad one.
Posted: 9/24/2005 2:01:20 PM | | While I am not really new to all of this, I do seem to have trouble when it comes to making a profile that gets any response other than from russian mail order brides or girls wanting me to pay to watch them as they cam...lol. No thanks. If there is anyone with suggestions/comments it would be greatly appreciated. | |

Posted: 10/15/2005 7:40:26 AM | I am just wondering what I need to say in my profile to make it more eye-catching to women. Or am I just not simply attractive in my photos? I'd like to feel a lot of women do want to get to a know a decent, well-mannered, romantic guy, right? It's hard to approach a woman in the real world, which is why i tend to rely online personals. I have jsu tbeen on this stie for about a week althought I have used other sites like Yahoo and Lavalife off and on for more than a couple of years with little success. LOL Kind of hard to remain confident and optimistic when you feel you are almost always chopped lover.

Posted: 10/17/2005 4:37:10 PM | I wish to encourage everybody to read, understand and appreciate the post from Jack Mack on page 2. Some of the things he said seem to have been pulled off my posts from my profile review days, so I know he's now qualified as a profile review coucellor!

Posted: 10/18/2005 10:01:40 PM | | a good profile = what the girl is looking for in age, location, smoking... hardcore things like that and most women say something in your about me section that really gives an idea of who you are/makes them think/makes them want to know more. For example, in my profile I just rant on about pasta, but that's good b/c some think it is funny and it was natural for me. Get what I'm saying? | |

| False advertising (pics on profile)
Posted: 10/28/2005 8:50:56 AM | If you are going to put a pic on your profile, why not make it a current one?
Yes, you might have looked great seven or eight years ago. Yes, you might still look great.
But why would you want to misrepresent yourself? If I meet you and my mouth drops, it doesn't mean you are unattractive. I just don't reckognize you at all. Yes, we never look quite like our pics (some look better in person, like the last guy I met).
Only once was someone honest enough to tell me that their pic was from years ago. I have just started to ask. It's an age thing. for sure. No, I'm not saying it happens most of the time. But it sure happens alot.
I'm bound to get flamed about the issue "looks aren't everything", which is totally correct. That's another issue that I'm sure must be around here somewhere. This is my first time writing up a beef! Now that's off my chest, I'm totally flat!

Posted: 10/28/2005 9:41:24 AM | "Just ask me"
It's unspoken, but WE ARE ASKING! You're on a datin site.
Just putting that phrase kills it.
I know a few words jumbled together can't give us clear, full access to knowing you, but it's far better to let us have a tiny ACCURATE view than a "just ask me". | |

Posted: 11/22/2005 4:13:01 PM | I think I need some help with mine. I don't tend to get many responses form emails and I don't ever seem to get someone emailing me. Is my profile that bad? Or am I just doing something wrong?
I'd really like to know! | |

Posted: 11/22/2005 9:17:02 PM | Its very subjective.......but I guess if you cannot represent your self fully...at least dont tell untruths about height,age,posting a false pic etc....
ahhh what do I know, I am only adept at dechiphering troll profiles | |

Posted: 11/30/2005 8:33:16 PM | | Belvedeer: I looked over your profile, i am no expert or anything but one suggestion I have would be to include making your profile more girl friendly. lol No you don't have to decorate it pink or anything but most of the stuff you talk about is tailored towards activities that men participate in. Keep them in there but maybe you could add some more stuff about things that you love about women or what you are looking for in a women. In the first date section is your opportunity to show off the romantic side to you. Talk about the wonderful things you would do for the women of your dreams. I do have to say that I love that you state that you are ready to settle down. YOur honesty is very very attractive. just my .o2 worth | |

Posted: 1/9/2006 7:26:03 PM | I like your profile, I think it is great that you took the time to give a bit of yourself in your profile. I suppose women appreciate information, gives them a bit of insight into who you are.
Being a female, I can't really say for sure what men prefer, but probably a short version. I believe whether it be male or female if you take the time it shows you are interested in wanting people to know a bit about you. | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 7:03:53 PM | Hmmm...
I've never written an in depth profile of myself, until today.
I think it really depends on who you want paying attention or responding to your profile. If you've written about yourself with honesty, in a style that reflects your mentality, the people who respond in a positive manner are much more likely to be compatible with your interests.
Remember that because everybody is different, they will all have different reactions and opinions. It comes down to how a person perceives what you've written, and how they choose to digest it.
My two cents. | |

Posted: 2/11/2006 6:13:27 AM | Sorry you stared correct but went off track - I hate to do this but reality is this works, and there is a formula for getting what you rather then not.
We all know what a target auidence is - well if you want to get _______, _______, ______, you should be _________,_________,_________
Its like Algebra..LOL - sad thing is this - WHAT THE HEART WANTS might be diff. then our sex desires. If you have needs, learns what your are - be honest and who you are so you get what you should -
Most of us get attracted to people due to deep reason I wont get into....but it head doc stuff.
Simple minded minded people list adjectives - they will attract who they do. Lazzy or simple, carefree, not deep, so many --- everyone has an opion on one is right...
Women have sexy pics then say why are talking to me like this - well there is a way to demonstrate sensual sexyness in way to demand a way get a desired result from the man. Oh, for those same women, - Men take women to a romantic dinner - how can it be romantic when that is a feeling that can not be truley generated with out history so fist date show is to earn the right to be romantic with lower brain who make excuses for taking off her panties when she needs none, but socieity is so backwards..
It dawned on me today how personals adds profiles is like business, BIG TIME -
What does a list of words mean - well, some try to paint a picture. I mean I spoke with a bright client today Sr. VP and she looked at the candidates resume who went to DUKE and UCLA and said things where she was off totally. FUNNY THING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS SO WHAT THAT MEANS - assumptions rule us. I interviewed her, yet she was not to ego based and wise enough to listen to me, I had trust since I placed two people there and thanks to LandMark Education was able to cut her thoughts to pieces by keeping it simple, - people get to caught up...kept it so simple she could see what I did since most people can not interview for shit since it takes years to get close to be good.
When a women says she is sexy - how can see say that with out know what some finds sexy. Tits and an ass done make you any thing but another women. Some men dont go to strip clubs becuase it has no realism / passion / or creative wild side - so if women learn that sex / like and dislike is all in the mind - an subjective. . | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 4:38:51 PM | | In my opinion a good profile is onw in which the writer has provided some small insight into what exactly they are looking for in a match... and most importantly some details about whom they are! people tend to use words like honest, sincere, funny,... who wouldn't say those things about themselves? tell me something about yourself that makes you different or says THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF WHO I AM.. NOW COME FIND OUT THE REST....! | |

Posted: 3/14/2006 1:33:08 AM | If you are a guy the two main things that are going to get you noticed are money and a really nice car. Having a picture of a really nice car kind of indicates that you have money so you really only need to demonstrate evidence of the car.
I tested and verified this idea on another site by creating two identical profiles except that one had a ford cobra and the other did not. Guess which one got 12 hits in three days.
Hey, I'm not suggesting that women are shallow and materialistic or anything. | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 5:41:15 PM | | I have created long involved profiles with lots of info and interesting things to read. I've created short profile (see current) that offer very little. In my experience, the photo is what draws. Most men approach me without reading anything I have to say. I think many go by basic info - age, height, body type, location, and photo. If they really want to know more.. they say hello. Of course, everyone is different. Some women will love your profile. Others won't take the time to read it because they are too impatient and don't want to work that hard. I think you write what makes you happy and throw that bait into the pof sea. When you get bored with your profile, write something new to keep it fresh and interesting. | |

Posted: 3/18/2006 10:22:52 PM | People have to be told; unless you are in the witness protection program, stop having your picture taken with your back to a window. There are countless examples of this.
Another popular one is using the computer web cam to get a picture of the top of the head and one ear. Nice effort. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 12:12:30 PM | Hello all,
Sorry for the interruption! I am new to the online dating scene and figured this thread would have some profile experts...
Would someone be so kind as to read through my profile and give me some feedback? I would enjoy hearing your likes, dislikes, and suggestions for change.
I want to provide an honest profile that will attract the type of guy I am looking for, but not provide too much information so that anyone who "reads into" everything will be scared off.
I look forward to receiving you feedback via e-mail. Thanks, Botanica
