Despite my short attention span (and that of about 10 other ladies that read your profile), I read it again for changes. If you consider the changes you've made as substantial, so be it.

You are obviously happy with your profile or you would at least attempt some concerted effort to listen to the people who have been kind enough to try to assist you. This is starting to have distinct similarities to a "I just need the attention thread".

My suggestion is to leave it as is. It will become abundantly apparent in the very near future if this is working for you.

Perhaps you shouldn't change your profile; it is honestly what and how you think. If you change it to please reviewers, a girl may be suprised down the road.

However, the other reveiwers are correct in their estimation of the results you will get.
Not to be rude, but perhaps you should not ask the reviewers to help reword your profile, but ask them to review your thought process. Your expectations may cause you grief.

Here's something to consider about your required age range; you are an exceptioanlly well educated individual who has many cerebral interests and thought processes. If you get together with a girl so much younger, you may have your kids, but may also eventually come to the conclusion that you are unhappy because she doesn't "get" you, doesn't agree with you, and does not share your interests or priorities.She is of such a different era, you may not have enough in common for true companionship. You may grow to be bored with her, or despise her.

If I were you, I would search for someone a lot like yourself from your own era or just slightly younger, because children are much more likely to be happy in a home where the parents get along, communicate well, and relate to each other. You are right; the odds of successfull pregnancy decrease as a woman grows older, but I am referring to quality not quantity here. You place alot of emphasis on what you expect out of her, and if she isn't a lot like you, she will not put up with your demands, and will likely leave you, kids and all.

Sorry to seem negative; I do wish you success.

Way too long still! And to me your profile is just too "out there". You seem to be way too educated/analytical/rational/logical/cold! I am not jabbing at you as I spent a great deal of my life (too much in fact!) unbalanced in those paradigms as well. Remember as a generalization, women are not this way. They are primarily driven by warmth and emotion. Most also love some humor... find something funny, goofy, light-hearted to say. Something that demonstrates personality. In other words don't make it all too serious! You're not just an animal seeking a breeding partner are you? There has to be more to it than that if you are going to interest/attract women! In a good relationship, the woman will naturally bend some to connect with you on the aspects of your male psychie, but she also needs to know that you can do the same for her... You haven't demonstrated that you will or that you even know how! You are not working on a science project here, your approach to this will have to be way different than anything you have ever tried in your life! It's also time for superlatives, inuendo and.... (dammit! I can't find that other word I'm looking for)!

It wouldn't hurt you to take an honest look at your persona and do some development! It's a long slow process, but what worthwhile things in life aren't! You need to learn how to relate and connect with some of the aspects of the female psychie (spelling?)... You need to come across as warm, intriguing, fun and as someone else stated earlier, a bit mysterious (at least some of them anyway)! Don't spell out everything so precisely, be a bit vague... Leave room for curiosity and misinterpretation! Yes, I know, your a guy and a scientist to boot...This is won't come naturally to you!!! But with time and lots of practice it is achievable!

I will take the liberty to recommend a couple of other things that may help you. Take them or leave them, it will affect me none!

1. Review some other guys profiles, even some that are asking for help (like yourself)... Pick out some things or even ideas that match yourself and borrow them. Human beings aren't so different from eachother that other guys here don't have similar traits as yourself... I'm not necessarily saying to plagurize, but quite frankly there isn't that many different ways to deliver the same message(s)! After all, we are guys seeking girls....how many ways can you re-word that? It goes without saying that that was rhetorical, right?

2. Time to do some more reading...I heard some great advice before from some guys that are very successful with women. Read a few romance novels!!! Although I haven't gotten around to it yet, it makes perfect sense if you want to be able to relate well to the opposite secks! Many women are into them you know! I'll wager that there are helpful things to be learned in those books! It will give you an insight into female fantasy at the very least! You do understand that women don't daydream about fighting with a sword and shield; that's a guy thing!....They have entirely different things that they fantasize about!

3. Seek some advice from dating gurus/coaches...There is information plastered all over the net. Some good, some bad, some cheesey, some ETC. I won't make specific recommendations but do a google search as well read some forums out there. Someone will point you in a good direction!

Anyway, that's my two cents! I'm sure that it is full of spelling/grammar errors but I imagine my points were at least well understood and that is what is important!

Regards!

I really didnt see much wrong with his profile other than being long. I can tell he is well educated and expects the same.....I dont blame him, I once thought it would be nice to be married to a woman without that much intelligence> What a mistake that was! She wrote checks because I had a book full of them! As far as age who cares... I have had women 18 yrs old hit on me before. It may take a while for him to get the girl he wants but it will be worth his while for the wait. Good Luck I hope you find her!
