| Want a man's opinion of your profile?
Posted: 5/11/2007 12:40:07 PM | Hello amlats4u ,
I'll send the review to your profile but you'll need to adjust your mail settings. Switch of "must live in the United States" and "must not be looking for Friendship". Indeed, I'd leave the latter switched off permanently anyway (as per my review).
Let me know here when you've done so (and it might be a few days before I can reply).
Take care. | |

No pic - um! Always good to have a pic but presume you'll have one or two to send privately as and when.
List of interests is good.
The main profile is definitely unique. No confusing you with anyone else! You come over as level- headed (you see the world as it really is), good-humoured, intelligent, and confident. I get the impression you might be a little intense as well but it seems to be well tempered by the humour.
The only thing I would suggest is to place the stuff under "first date" at the end of the "about me" section.
Take care. | |

A dating forum for myself?! Chance would be a fine thing! (and no you haven't aliented me; just made me sad and bitter).
Right, enough. Your profile. You look as depressed as I do in your main pic. Add another one or two if you can with one smiley one if possible. I've recently noticed that a pic subconsciously dictates how people read your profile.
So, with a smiley face in my head, you come over as intelligent, easy-going, down-to-earth, witty, and romantic. I personally liked it.
You've covered everything I think but it might have been nice to touch on an interest or two. For example, refinishing furniture! There be loads of men interested in that and perhaps the one you're looking for.
All the best. | |

Good range of pics for a webcam (might try and get some done in natural lighting if you can though).
The main profile is fine but you need to supply a bit more information such as what are you looking for in a man (we need guidance occasionally). However, there is nothing wrong with what you already ahve. As it is, you do come over as easy-going, good-humoured, and honest.
All the best. | |

| Want a man's opinion of your profile?.. I don't know :)
Posted: 5/11/2007 1:37:13 PM | Hello shanano,
Right, pics are fine.
Erm, your main profile. Er... I'll be frank, you come over as someone who can talk the hind legs off a donkey (or whatever that phrase is). I mean that in a really nice way! When I first saw your profile I thought that's one big block of text, "hmm, needs to split it up", but then I read it. You can't split it up and I have to admit that I really enjoyed reading it. The last few sentences are brilliant. Your profile structure appears random but in an ordered manner if that makes sense and I sense that in your personality as well (randon but ordered). The impression I get of you is that you're wonderful, not a bad bone in your body, very honest, easy-going, naturally and innocently confident, scatty yet very intelligent, good-humoured, and basically a real pleasure to be with.
The only thing I'd add is you don't say what your looking for in a man to hang out with him.
A unique and really good and honest profile.
Take care. | |

Sorry, I forgot you were a woman. When they say "no" they actually mean "yes" and vice versa. I keep forgeting that (damn).
Right your profile review. Pics are fine but your main pic makes you a bit weird looking and scary (I want my mummy!). 2nd pic is your best.
Your profile. It's a bit short but it seems a good honest one. You come over as confident and, combined with your main pic, "in-your-face", good-humoured, blunt, and intelligent but not a lot more. I would like to read more about you to get a better impression. Also, you don't let on about what sort of man your looking for really. Us men need a bit of nudging in that respect.
I hope that was reasonable review.
Best of luck. | |

Yep, not having a pic' up doesn't help. When men browse the main search thingy they go by looks generally and skip over the ones without pics. In other words, you don't give your profile the chance unless you intend to initiate the contact each time.
The main profile comes over as a solid and honest piece of work. You sound, intelligent, caring, easy-going, and good-natured. However, you do come over as a little formal as if you've given great thought to you profile. While thought is good, it can take away the initial spontaneity which gets your personality over. I know you are good-humoured (in your writing) but it doesn't come over generally (which might put some men off). I think a few subtle touches (appropriate wry comments for example) here and there would do the job, if I am correct in my interpretation.
The content is absolutely fine. Other than the lack of a photograph, I see no problem with the profile.
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 2:20:58 PM | Hello MsChar54,
Pics are all okay. Interesting list of interests.
I see that you here just for 'talk/e-mail'. I would emphasise the point that you have a boyfriend and that presumably you are not looking for a relationship other than friends?
The main profile doesn't say anything about you unfortunately. There's too much complaining about other people's profiles! There is one bit in there which says
Guys who IM me n say What are you looking for ?? do you guys just look at my pics ??? maybe READ ALL my profile too.
Well I did and I still have no idea what you're looking for. It seems you're not looking for a relationship and are just up for chatting but that is purely based on the 'Talk/E-mail' bit and I'm really not sure. I would like to know what makes you tick, what interests you in life so I do have something to e-mail you about. I would also like to know what sort of person you like to chat to.
Anyway, that's the impression I get from reading the profile (hope it didn't sound rude).
Take care. | |

Big Error for a guy that comes across as 'well put together'.
You just made the mistake of showing your true colors. You obviously don't even read the posts do you? Just the photo and the name.
If you do bother to go back and actually 'read' my posts, you'd see that your honest and forth-coming critique of me was a moot point.
Gotta hate that damn cookie jar eh  | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 5:30:38 PM | OH yes, I do want a mans opinion.
I've never been on a dating site before now, so this may just be what helps me find that right guy, and if I want to find him, I need to know how to fish.
thanks.

Posted: 5/11/2007 7:13:45 PM | | Thanks Splinter. However getting a photo of me is a challenge in itself. One of me smiling might take an act of parliment. I will keep your advice in mind. If nothing else I can fiddle with the text. Your comments are much appreciated. | |

Posted: 5/11/2007 10:18:42 PM | Hi,
Thanks for your time...I don't have much time to get on POF sites, due to work and time restraints. I appreciate your input though, and will do what you suggested. I don't know how you have time to review all the requests! You are amazing!
All the best,

------------------
As of today, I will not longer be reviewing profiles. This is because of a recent run of ****ing shit I've had to take from people who don't like my honest opinion of the impression their profiles give. They may not like it but that is how they come across - ****ing deal with it! If you've taken it the wrong way, it's your problem not mine and reflective of YOUR personality. It seems their ego's are bigger than their common sense. I have enough shit in my life to have to deal with these petty-minded C***S.
My sincere apologies to those who have genuinely asked for a review and have taken my opinion for what it is - just an opinion to be ignored or endorsed. My words in the first paragraph in no way relate to you at all. My thanks for the kind words from some of you who have corresponded - I really wish you the best for the future.
I will leave this thread running for a few days to allow those people who have asked for a review time to read my reply before deleting it. My apologies to those who have recently asked for a review but I cannot go through I'm afraid.
Take care. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 8:02:05 AM | My apologies for the use of the c-word in my last post. I have never used it and would have only done so if I was really hacked off, I plainly was when I wrote it. Sorry, if I've offended any innocents who have come across it.
Goodbye,

Thanks Ruth | |

| Closing Thread? What a Shame!
Posted: 5/14/2007 8:01:01 AM | Splinter:
You had honourable intent and never once used this forum to your gain. You were forthright, but that's what we asked for.
What a shame that a few have spoiled it for many.
Sorry to see you go.
Best of luck in all your endeavors,
