Posted: 5/7/2007 9:56:14 AM | Hello Gothchilde,
Well, I wondered if or when someone would pick up on it. Yep, took it from the title of the book (but couldn't remember the author). I never read the book but I liked the poetry of the name.
Anyway, to your profile review. I'll get the worst bit over, yes, you do sound domineering and someone who may not listen to someone elses viewpoint (especially if you don't agree with it), but if that is you then the profile is a truthful respresentation of your personality. So rejoice.
Otherwise, it's a long one but not full of waffle like some. It actually has a lot of content and it's all laid down in a natural way, not forced. As such it seems to convey your personality very well. Other than above, you come over as confident, good-humoured, a little intense (in a good way), bright, honest, and interested in life.
There are one or two aspects about your personality and profile I could argue about but that would be expressing a personal opinion. This means to say that your profile is working!
...and good grief - first woman I've met who likes Death Metal! I prefer the Melodic DM at the moment (At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Kalmah, etc.). Anyway...
All the best. | |

Pics are okay. Hmm, no tangible interests?
The main profile is a bit thin but you do come over as out-going and friendly and someone who is likely to smile a lot.
I personally would like to read a bit more about your likes as well as dislikes. Perhaps writing a bit more would get other aspects of your personality over as well to ensure attracting the right man. As it stands, some may see you as an 'Airhead' but I personally don't think you are (hope that wasn't too rude).
But if you're just looking to 'party' and have fun then perhaps that is all you need to say.
Take care. | |

Weird isn't it. Change the photo's and tweak the wording (which I didn't notice to be honest) and you now come over as good humoured and dare I say out-going and not reserved as I said before. I like it.
By the way, I think I noticed a typo' error or two.
All the best with it. | |

That's one big block of text!
Pics aren't bad for a webcam. Interests list is a bit empty.
Right, now to the block of text that is your main profile. Despite it being much about what you dislike, I really liked it. You're obviously intelligent and have a dry wit. You also come over as someone who speaks their mind (yay). I have to admit to agreeing and empathising with all of what you wrote. So by being negative your profile has had a positive affect in being very attractive. However, I would also like to read what you do like but I guess this could make a big block of text into something that would make some men cry. While it is grammatically correct to write it as one paragraph, I'd cheat and split it up at appropriate places to help the men you don't want get the message more easily.
So, in short, I really, really like it but I'd add your likes as well. However, I've no idea how to do this without shortening your 'dislikes' which are all very good and I wouldn't want to see them cut. Oooh, what a quandry! However, your profile has already done its job by getting blokes like me interested. So perhaps you only need to talk about your likes during the messaging period.
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 10:50:20 AM | Hello Lexi (lexieast),
Right, pics. Pics 1 to 3 are burnt out by the flash, I'd drop them. Pics 4 and 5 need to be rotated 90 degrees on your computer. Pic 6 is your best and should be used as the main pic. I'd replace the ones you should drop by some taken outdoors in natural light.
Yay, a list of interests.
The main profile is fine. You come over as kind and very caring. However, it is also a little formal as it stands, but only a little. As I've said elsewhere on this thread, I'd open up a form of 'conversation' instead of a list of statements to get aspects of your personality over in your writing. In your case you could do this by merely expanding on your one or two of your interests, scuba diving for example. I think you are also easy-going, intelligent, and good humoured but adding a bit more to what you got or a tweak here or there would help bring these qualities over more.
Oh yes, forgive me for saying this, but do you really have a athletic body type?
Overall though, I like it.
All the very best. | |

Yay. The content is all there. You come over now as easy-going, friendly, good-humoured, and level-headed.
The only tweaks I'd suggest are grammatical, so nothing to worry about too much. You can play with it over the next few weeks or so as and when.
Yep, much better - I Like it.
All the best. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 11:31:33 AM | Hello Susan831,
Ooh, no pics. Presumably you have one or two in reserve for messaging?
Interests are okay.
The main profile is short and sweet. You cram a lot in and I think everything is there that needs to be aired. I would normally split it up into paragraphs but what you have written prevents that from happening. However, if you can split it into two or three it will read a little easier, but it will mean adjusting some wording here and there.
You come over as easy-going, down-to-earth, good-humoured, and intelligent. I wonder if using the long measured approach (using exactly the same content) might be better than the short and sweet. It might get your personality over a bit stronger.
All in all, fine, no problems.
Best wishes. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 2:37:29 PM | Yeeehah! I win the trivia contest!  Maybe give the novel a glance- it's not his best work, but it's a good waste of an afternoon...
Only two aspects that jar you? Not bad. May I know what they are? Just curious. And working? How?
As for Death Metal- the melodic sort is definitely within my category of interests, sir. Cradle of Filth is considered to be in that genre. Not familiar with many of the bands, though. But I'm willing to give 'em a listen.  Other types of craziness in the music realm; GWAR (their stage show is freakin brilliantly offensive, hilarious and just plain bonkers), Front Line Assembly (still have the bruises from the mosh-pit), KMFDM (I'm all healed up, now), Ministry (healed from that one, too), Dismal Euphony, Icon of Coil..... if any of those bands came through the 'Peg, I'd be all over that. In fact, Icon of Coil IS coming in the middle of May. WEEEE! Then I'll hare off into world music like Balinese Gamelan and Ketchak... Just 'cuz.
Anyway, I thank you for your comments. It's interesting to see how others view my style- very different from male to female, so far. So, in the interests of clearing out some of the worrisome bits, I tweaked it a mite and shortened it some. Give it a peruse when you have some time? It would be much appreciated. Thanks. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 3:36:41 PM | Hello sweetemerald58,
Pic is good and a nice list of interests.
The content of the main profile is fine but there needs to be a bit more I feel. I'd use the space you have available to get your personality over and stamp your name on the profile, otherwise it sounds like other nondescript profiles on here. It doesn't stand out. You need to attract and hold the attention of the man you're looking for. However, you do come over as friendly and good-humoured but other aspects of your personality are unclear.
Best of luck. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 3:46:12 PM | Hello shelby2,
Well I'm surprised you've got 6 men add you to your favourites list unless of course you've been proactive by contacting them first.
No pic isn't going to attract them unless you have some in reserve and intend to initiate any messaging.
The profile is far too short. Nonetheless the four sentences you've written are grammatically correct which is good going for this site. Implies you're intelligent while the content is clear about what you're looking for (but not the why or for how long). Would I take a chance on messaging you? Hmm, not sure.
But then again I've only got 3 women who added me to their lists so what the heck to I know!
Good luck. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 3:57:28 PM | Hello pizazzspice,
Pics okay but pic 2 is your best one. Pic 3 has JPEG artifacts (making it unclear) and will need to be redone.
The profile is the short and sweet type but it's all there. You also come over as easy-going, good-humoured, intelligent, level-headed, and you made me feel comfortable reading it. The 'first date' bit is very nice.
Look's very good. If I was in your age range I'd be happy to message you!
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 4:10:41 PM | Hello Gothchilde,
What I meant about the profile working for you was that you had enough information for men to decide whether or not they were compatible. In my case there were one or two things which I didn't agree with but they were nothing to do with the profile itself, just a difference of opinion (and no I'm not going to tell you, so there, although one was removed and I can't remember the other[!]. Anyway, nothing of consequence).
I gave it another look and it seems fine. Still long but it's a good read so I wouldn't worry about that. Says quite a bit about you and no-one should get the wrong impression about you either. Well done.
(PS, I remember GWAR - I'm amazed they're still going, and yeah they were [are] really funny).
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 4:24:34 PM | Hello happy now,
Pic is fine but I'd add another closer shot of your face if you can.
Everything is fine but I'd like to see the main profile (the 'about me' bit) padded out a little. It appears short but that's because you've been a bit abrupt in your presentation. It jumps abruptly from one item to another. I'd like to read it in one flowing motion. That way you'll get a bit more personality over and it will hold a man's interest for longer. I'd also split it into two paragraphs, the split coming after "...pick up the trumpet again." as the first part is about yourself while the second part is about what you are looking for.
You sound like a level-headed, intelligent, and good-humoured lady. Any expansion of the profile should enhance that impression and will perhaps bring out other aspects of your personality.
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/7/2007 4:27:21 PM | Hello shelby2,
They contacted you! Oh well, but I guess it's generally easier for woman to find men on here than vice versa.
If you do say more I'm sure it will be good. You sound like someone who can get their personality over quite easily.
Good luck. | |
