Hi again Splinter!
I think that future added pictures will be of only head-shots, and the one on there now placed the last one, is the kind of " thinning out" that's required. Some guys are just too silly for words, saying they want long term, but their only communication is about your cleavage. Yup, buddy, I love your beer gut, too, let's get married!! (I'm pretty sure you guys get your share of wierdos also).

Hiya Carmen,

That's too funny, but I know I shouldn't laugh. Not sure us men get that sort of problem. Can't say I had a 30 year old beauty (or any other lady) ask "Cor, love yer butt crack, darlin'. How's about showing a bit more.". I think it's very much a thing women have to put up with. I've had the one very needy type but it wasn't sexual in any way.

Take care of yourself.
S.

Hello zimbora3,

Right I'm not a woman so I'm not in the best position to suggest anything. I have therefore referred you to my female reviewer.

She says you don't say much but you sound fun and are cute. She says it's fine as it is, short and sweet. She also says to stick a comma to seperate your interests so you can be found in interest searches. You also sound like a bit of a party animal and not all women want to date an international playboy. You could also list some other interests if you have some.

This review is courtesy of L. (an anonymous lady) and provided via myself.

All the best.

Splinter...amazing you can tell so much about me from so little.
I'm working on getting another photo. But I'm curious since you said I came across as shy. I guess I am when I'm not in front of someone or in a room full of people. Thanks for your feedback. I work on it and then I might ask you to come back around to me one more time.
Thank you,
Marina

Hello pwdrsgr,

All in all, looks fine. Good range of pics. Good list of interests.

You have an honest profile and you come over as easy-going, friendly, and I might add shy (no bad thing). The one thing that is lacking is what you're looking for in a man (and not looking for as well). He should be able to pick up on one or two things to hold his interest but he might want to know if he fits your bill before he considers messaging.

Otherwise, it's all fine.

Take care.

PS. A typo' error in the interests list.

Hello scrapper9494,

No real need to do you. Good pics but I'd use pic 2 as your main one as you look best in that. Good range of interests.

The main profile gives the impression of an intelligent, easy-going, level-headed, upfront and caring woman. I see no reason for any changes to the profile other than to add one or two specifics to bring out the profile a bit more, e.g., elucidate on one of your interests a little more and/or some of your likes and dislikes in a man.

I short review I know, but that's because you covered everything and it all reads okay.

Best wishes.

Hello Marina (Budangel8),

I'd be pleased to review you again, as and when. I should say that if you are shy then I would not hide that up. It is an attractive attribute; it shows you're not over-bearing (which isn't attractive).

May speak soon. Take care.

Hello merlinsfamiliar,

Good range of pics and interests.

Grammatically, the main profile needs to have full sentences to read more easily, e.g., "I am a strong independent woman searching...". One or two typo' errors need correcting.

The main profile is okay in content but there are some comments that you don't need. For example "I am very independant which alienates some men". You only need to say "I am very independent". So what if it alienates some men, it will be up to them to decide anyway. Just to say those four words is warning enough. It comes over as confrontational when I suspect it is more defensive. Another example, "Really I do smoke so if thats a problem then try another profile.". Again, it is confrontational. You can remove the "if thats a problem then try another profile" bit, as any man not looking for a smoker will do just that anyway, look elsewhere. The thing is, while you are putting off men who don't like independence or smokers, you don't want to sound aggressive to the men who still qualify.

At the moment, parts of your profile do come over as aggresive (although I really do think it's defensive as I said before) but the rest comes over as honest, upfront, level-headed, and independent (like you say). So, yes, perhaps a bit of tweaking here and there, but overall it's okay.

Take care.

If nothing else you're created quite a dating forum for yourself. I'm only kidding, just an evil thought that popped into my mind. I would love your review of my profile if I haven't just alienated you.

Thanks.

Thanks. I actually had pic #2 as my main one until earlier today as it was a more current photo...but I changed it back based upon your recommendation. I agree it is a better pic.

I'll work on expanding what I'm looking for in a man (I try to stay away from the dislikes as I feel it reads too negatively).

Thanks again.

Alrighty then.. when I saw that people can review your profile, I jumped all over it. I love to learn about what people are thinking all the time. Just looking at someone and trying to figure out what goes on in their mind is so much fun. I would love to know about your opinion on my profile and anyone else trying to put in some input. It's intriguing to know what someone thinks of stuff. So...read away!! :)
