| Want a man's opinion of your profile?
Posted: 3/18/2007 9:42:16 PM | I think it could be interesting to have a newbie look at a oldie's profile.
I've never had my profile reviewed. Do if you wish.
Smiles,

Posted: 3/19/2007 4:31:40 AM | Hello Riley Rose,
Hmm, looks alright. Good range of photos. Nice positive profile. I like the insight "Grumpy Old Men" - I presume that the bathroom findings of Ann-Margaret are what you would look for in a man.
My impression is you seem to have a good sense of humour, are outgoing, positive. and low maintenance. You also have a polite, humurous way of 'drawing the line'. I would like to know more about what you want in a man though.
(By the way, men don't wear knickers, or if they did they .. no, let's not go there). | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 4:57:34 AM | Hello little lady,
Right, something meaty to get into.
Paragraph about roses. Scrap it. You're being too paranoid. You get your roses back after a month anyway. A man, seeing that you've sent a rose (even if it's to yourself)should deal with it anyway. If he can't then he's paranoid or a control freak and not worth the bother.
Paragraph about you knackered computer. Erm..., slim it down a bit. All you really need to say is that, at the moment, your not able to get to a computer that easily so there may be delays in replies to messages.
Paragraph about mailing. Sounds desperate, even though I know your not, more insecure. Suggest that you say something along the lines "I'm always polite and respond to e-mails so if you don't recieve an immediate reply don't despair" or something like that, but use your words not mine if you do change it. Again don't apologise or feel the need to explain your actions.
Paragraph about yourself (1st and 2nd). Shows that you seem to be in a transition stage and is a good thing. Possily consider thinning down though.
Next paragraph "If you feel the need... etc.". probably scrap this as, again, you don't need to supply excuses.
All the rest is okay.
If you're dyslexic then that's damn good going (I think there're no spelling mistakes).
Overall, you give the impression of sincerety but loads of insecurity. It's not off-putting but could be overwhelming for some. It makes me like you though. If you can, be more confident and keep the profile short. Your interest list is, well, interesting. Expand on that if you can. And again, there's no need to apologise for your actions or for things that people don't need to know about.
Take care. | |

Photo's are okay. I'm never sure about photo's of tatoo's but it's an honest statement.
The profile is short and says enough, I think, although I would suggest adding what ever you said on the other website to your profile on this one - make the best of it.
Spelling could be cleaned up a bit.
Overall, it looks honest and you sound easy-going but I would like to see a little more substance (as said, perhaps using the stuff on the other website might do the trick). | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 2:14:28 PM | Hello to woman,
Not much too say really. Upfront and friendly. Good photos. No fault bar one - you don't say what you want in a man. Having said that you might just get away with it as you give the impression that you want someone of like mind and similar interests. So I'm sort of 50/50 on that one. Wouldn't hurt though slipping in something somewhere I guess. Judging by your testimonials you really shouldn't have any problem. | |

"I have good genes". This must be a Canadian thing. Sounds a bit odd to us English but I expect "bloke" sounds weird over there. If it is a Canadian thing then fine. However, I'm being petulent.
It all sounds fine to me. Says what I need to know. You might get away without one or two things like the time you met for drinks with others from the site, but this might work for you - in other words you sound approachable.
OH NOO - a dancing Banana right at the end. Shoot the bloody thing! Now! ....Please! Oh God, no!
P.S. Remove the Banana. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 2:32:58 PM | | Thanks for taking the time to read and give an opinon on my profile. Not a Canadian thing. I've been told I look 10 years younger then my age and most say it must be in my genes. Banana will be removed. Thanks again. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 2:39:04 PM | Dear jacobson,
This is going to be another boring reply.
Photo's - all fine except the self-portrait (3rd one?) - I'd remove it, while the montage is a good way of getting more pics but it's a shame you can't see them properly.
Nothing much to say about the profile. Gives the impression of an outgoing girl, confident, and comfortable with who she is - not bad for an 18yr old. A bit brief on the man you like to find in comparison but there's probably enough there.
One tiny, tiny niggle, but it's not specific to you so fear not. "love to laugh" - I'm sure most people do and it's becoming a cliche (I feel bad saying that now). Shouldn't detract from a good profile though. | |

Nice range of photo's - don't change them.
I take it you're really big on thunderstorms. If that's the case then I won't fault the first half of the profile. If it's just a part of your life then I might want to see you expand on another interest.
I like the way you've combined good humour with describing your feelings (e.g., the fishing and Bambi thing, says more than it reads). I wouldn't mind seeing a titchy bit more on your description of your ideal man.
P.S. I really like thunderstorms too. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 2:58:39 PM | Dear splinter..........
My profile is the first one I've ever done and it would please me very much to have a man's view of its worth. Remember, I am a 70 year old woman, and some of my thoughts and feelings might be "old school". But, as you've said in your reviews, they are mine. Give me your thoughts and I will take another look at my "masterpiece".
By the way, the Hat stays...It is my Queen Mum Hat in the Red Hat Society and it has receive many, many raves from both men and women. And they all tell me I look "sexy." It's not too easy to look "sexy" at my age, so if it's not broken, I'm not gonna fix it. | |

OH DEAR NO! We haven't got a lot to say have we. Don't worry, I'll be kind.
In short, there's nothing there, no interests, nothing. Only an excuse to say why there's nothing there.
Right, you must have some interests. If so write them down.
Presumably you have likes and dislikes. If so write them down.
Presumably you have something to say about yourself - job, pets, annoying habits, children, etc. If so write them down.
Etc.
Once you have your list, separate the things that are different and clump the things that are similar. These clumps can become paragraphs. Use the beautiful English language to try and weave those things about you together. You don't have to use everything you listed and you might later think of a few more you can add. Above all try and weave your personality into it but that should come naturally once you start writing. Don't write an essay just right what feel there and then.
Good luck. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 3:26:59 PM | Hello knitten kitten,
Photo okay but I'd add another, and one of you smiling. I'll understand about the red hat but to some men it would look as if you're out for out-and-out raw sex (seriously, they're out there. Letches do get old - or do they just give up . Oh let's not go there.).
Seriously, you describe your emotional requirements quite well but I wouldn't expect anything less from someone of your experience. I don't think anything else matters although it wouldn't hurt to expand on your "my interests vary...". I keep saying this in other postings, but men do have a practical non-emotional side to be satiated, no matter how old they are. They want their women not just to look at them adoringly; they want to be impressed by their down-to-earth abilities and interests - just adds a few more levels to the relationship.
Two small niggles.
"I won't lie about being 70 because no one believes I am anyway. I certainly don't look it or feel it."
I think "because" needs to become a "but". I'm not sure you're allowed to say "I don't look it [70]". That would be for someone else to say. Reads a little arrogantly.
Take care. | |
