| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 1:27:20 PM | Hello sweetestthang,
Oh, you should be nervous alright . (and that's the first time I've chucked an emoticon in!).
Pics are fine for a webcam but I'd try to get some natural light shots if you can. Nice to see the inclusion of pic. 4 (well done).
I'll be blunt, the profile is too short but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the content. I like the content as it stands - honest, upfront, friendly, and level-headed. You do sound like a nice woman and I'd probably message you on what little you've said (surprisingly). Nonetheless, I would like to know a bit more about you to give me something to bite on. I'd also want to know what attributes you look for in a friend. Finally, I'd use full sentences, although the way you've written it (with the dashed lines between comments) is consistent so not too difficult to read.
You sound like a down-to-earth, intelligent lady who shouldn't have a problem adding to her profile if needs be. So there.
Take care. | |

The pic is fine. Good list of interests.
The main profile is also good as well. Could be some improvements though but nothing terrible. I like the content, most of it is there but it seems a little rushed. I'd try and take it a little slower as if you're having a conversation with someone. You seem intelligent, so I'd be a bit more descriptive about your long walks and motocycles, etc., if you can.
You do come over as honest, level-headed, to-the-point, friendly, and good-humoured. Above all, approachable. While it's good to say what you don't like, I'd like to see what you do like in a man - anything specific (so he can identify himself).
'first date' bit is a bit long but the sentiment is very sensible. Up to you if you want to shorten it a little.
Overall, looks good. The base is there - it just needs a little tweaking.
All the best. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 3:09:33 PM | I would really appreciate your honest opinion. I am new to this, and serious about finding a relationship. I can take constructive criticism well.
Thanks, Brenda | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 4:04:51 PM | Thanks splinter! You're really good at this-I think you've found your calling!
What a smart thing for a man to come upwith-posting a thread like this. Look how many women he gets to check out and every one begging him to do it!! Thanks again splinter. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 5:57:04 PM | Any help appreciated with my profile - doesn't seem to attract any fishes. Maybe it's the area I live in - very small town. Thanks | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 8:25:44 PM | You're on to something here Splinter, I've read a lot of very constructive help. This is really nice of you. Have any of your "clients" come back and reported a profile makeover that got them more emails/attention/dates?
And if you would be so kind...to look at mine... | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/5/2007 10:38:54 PM | Greetings, oh Star Wars fan... Or is it just that you like Alan Dean Foster? Referring to your username, of course.
I'm curious to read a man's perspective on my profile, if you'd be so kind.
Oh, and before you ask- yes, I can be domineering, but I try to gentle it with velvet and smooth cream. I lick it off, later.

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/6/2007 6:06:55 PM | Hey Splinter,
Read your review of my profile and was quite pleased about what you said. I thank you for your positive comments. Your intiuitive response was very informative and quite eye-opening.
I have tweeked my profile just a tiny bit and I was wondering if you could take a couple of minutes out of your busy schedule to re-review it.
I have come to respect your opinion so it would mean a lot if you could give me your input.
I wish you much peace and good karma, PeekaPooh | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 6:52:59 AM | Hello heatherhoney0,
Pics are okay although I might add another at some point. Good long list of interests.
You come over as very romantic in the main profile, but not much more other than friendly. While it is nice to state what you want emotionally, I would add some more down-to-earth aspects if that is in your nature. Add a bit more about your interests, what you like and don't like in a man. Remember, men aren't as emotionally open as woman at the best of times, so you need to appeal to their more practical approach to life. Also, a bit more personality will come out if you diversify your profile.
I would also slow down on the cliches; they can put someone off. Above all, they are not your wording and can be found on other profiles, e.g., "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave....". In other words, state the meanings but do it in your own way.
Overall, it's okay but just needs punctuating with a few down-to-earth points.
Take care. | |

| A little help please Posted: 5/7/2007 7:33:25 AM | Hi Splinter,
When you have the time could you take a look at my profile and see what you think. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated.
Thanks Susan | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 8:25:13 AM | Hello Brenda (Purple Rain* ),
Pic is fine as is list of interests.
The main profile is also fine but I would add something about yourself; in other words expand on your interests in life, anything that is important to you. Do it in such a way that you are able to write your personality into the profile. For example, if you have a good sense of humour it needs to come over without you actually having to say it.
You do come over as honest and blunt, probably level-headed and intelligent but it needs a bit more to grab the interest and for the right man to suss out who you are.
In short, you just need to add a bit more to raise yourself above the others on this site.
Take care. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 8:36:26 AM | Hello 196snowbird,
Pics and interests are good.
The main is also very good. Can't suggest any changes or additions really. Seems all there. You seem to have a good sense of humour, friendly, open and honest, and level-headed. Nothing there to turn me off (apart from the emoticons - but that's a me, or a man, thing).
Don't worry about the profile not attracting fishes. Your fav's list is greater than mine and I've not been messaged in yonks. I'd put it down to the fact that your not sprawled out in you underwear and have not made suggestive remarks in the profile! I'm also sure that there aren't that many 57 to 74 year old men on the site. Think of your profile separating the wheat from the chaff.
All the best. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 8:45:52 AM | Hello heidiheid,
Good pics. Nice list of interests.
Also a good solid, neat main profile but you sound a little too formal. Are you like this? As a result, there's not much indication of your personality. However, I sense you are intelligent and open but I think there should be more.
The content of your profile is very good and I wouldn't take anything away if you intend to update or revise. I would just advise 'loosening' it up a bit. Might be the difference between receiving messages or being passed over.
All the best. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 9:10:29 AM | Hello always annie,
A few have replied saying that 'traffic' has increased but I suspect that is down to changing their main photo more than anything else!
Pics are all okay (might use pic 5 as your main one though). Nice list of interests.
Your profile seems pretty good to me and not in need of renovation. Says everything you need to say in a way that is your own. You come over as level-headed (my only other definition for down-to-earth!), intelligent, honest, good humoured, blunt, curious, easy-going,.... I could go on but suffice to say it's all good. I have to confess to empathising with a lot of what you said and liking the way it flowed. I like your profile a lot.
In short, a really nice natural profile.
Take care. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile? Posted: 5/7/2007 9:30:27 AM | Hello Soulbaby,
Pics are okay for webcam, but I might loose pics 2 and 3 of your lips. We can see these in the other photos and they look better there than up close and personal.
Good list of intersts!
The main profile gives the impression of someone who is easy-going, open-minded, intelligent, and friendly. I see nothing wrong with it. The content is all there. The only adjustment I'd make is to place what you've written under 'first date' and stick it at the bottom of the 'about me' section. Actually, I'm not sure you need to say this bit at all. It's also self-derogatory in a way.
All the best. | |
