| Want a man's opinion of your profile?
Posted: 3/21/2007 1:14:48 PM | Hello sweetdreams,
I can't really find anything wrong with your profile. However, while you come over as open and honest, that is it. I suppose you could try expanding it a bit. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for in man; indeed, any dislikes! These are just suggestions.
The photo's are fine but I would want to see a face shot and possibly use it as your main pic. The one you have now shows a bikina clad woman which presumably will attract attention during searches but not necessarily from the chappy you want.
Not much use for you am I?! | |

Posted: 3/21/2007 1:44:42 PM | Thank you for the review, i will edit and fill in when my brain decides to work properly-been at uni and unfortunately my brain has decided to take a vacation and shut down on me through the hard work it has had to perform today.
As for "what i want in a man?" That is hard to put in to writing without sounding like a snotty nosed prim. I did read your profile and we do have similar outlooks on life BUT yes there is a but, i polute my body with cigarettes and that seems to be a big no from your profile.
Anyway thanks again

Posted: 3/21/2007 2:00:24 PM | No problem. I had the same problem when I went to Uni - I'd almost fall asleep on the way home; not good at the wheel of a car!
What do you want in a man? Yes, it's difficult to put it on paper but I think 99% of the time people are attracted to people of like mind and character (when it doesn't it usually ends in divorce) so I guess if you've expressed your own personality accurately and well, they'll be drawn in anyway. Good luck.
Yes, fags - big no-no. Kissed a smoker once years ago - it was horrible; plus it doesn't do the body any good and I guess it's not nice seeing someone you love physically deterioate in front of you. My health tip for the year. | |

Posted: 3/21/2007 2:54:26 PM | Your feedback is much appreciated. You are right about the pic. I just put it up today. The response is amazing. men will be men. Not sure what to do with it all.
I am not sure what you meant about expanding.....
I will work on a decent face shot
Thanks so much for this.

Posted: 3/21/2007 3:34:37 PM | Hiya Rita (sweetdreams),
"Men will be men"?! I think you "men will be a**holes" (oops, I was rude then wasn't I).
"expanding" was a bit vague, sorry. It was meant to mean elaborate, such as your interests for example (I'm big on interests). Hope that helps. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 12:38:47 AM | I'd be interested in your opinion on the profile , so if you get a chance that would be great. If not, I think it's great you're putting yourself out there for nothing personally in return.
all the best,

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:11:52 AM | Hello am insane,
Interesting selection of photo's - not sure about the computer graphic-type one though, doesn't do anything for me.
Nice range of interests.
The first part of your profile is far too intimate and squishy-romantic. While there's nothing wrong with the content, it's something you'll share with someone later into the relationship and best kept until then. At the moment, you're just a face and a name, nothing more. Men are much more reserved when it comes to expressing emotion. Any men reading this will be reaching for their sick bowl and then exiting quickly. I must stress that it's not the sentiment I'm berating, it's the place and timing of it - not here, not now.
Other than your BBW comment, which is very honest, you don't describe yourself in any other way. You'll need to do this.
Drop the drug thing, as it's usually given as granted that most people aren't interested. If you've listed no then it's that enough to tell anyone using any drug, soft or hard; unless of course you've had druggies contact you who think otherwise (in which case you'd better say so, e.g., "when I say no to drugs, it includes soft (or whatever the category is) drugs as well" - keep it short and to the point).
The only impression I get from your profile is that you are a romantic, and this is purely based on your nice poem. I'm sure there's a lot more to you though judging by your interests - elaborate on some of them.
Take care. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:25:35 AM | Hello waltraute,
Photo's first as usual. Nothing wrong with the content but I would replace the flash shots (very unflattering) with ones taken in natural light. Pehaps vary them a little if you can.
I like your profile. It made me laugh (granny farting, we've all been there, and nice comments on shirtless men). Overall, it came over as being witty, intelligent, open, honest, and funny. If that's you then ...yay.
As you're intelligent I would tighten up on a few minor grammar errors - delete the extra gap between paragraphs, put a space behind some of your commas and full stops, and "untill" I think is still spelt "until" in the US.
Normally I would say add something a bit more about what you want in a man, but the attraction is already there with your humour. It's just up to you to sift through the extra messages you recieve.
One of the better ones I've read - but I'm partial to wit. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:46:27 AM | Hello waltraute,
Photo's first as usual. Nothing wrong with the content (yes, I do get your main pic) but I would replace the flash shots (very unflattering) with ones taken in natural light. Pehaps vary them a little if you can.
I like your profile. It made me laugh (granny farting, we've all been there, and nice comments on shirtless men and witty throughout). Overall, you came over as being confident, practical, witty, intelligent, open, honest, and funny. If that's you then ...yay. Everything is there really, if you're intelligent enough to look for it. Can't fault it personally.
As you have a brain I would tighten up on a few minor grammar errors - delete the extra gap between paragraphs, put a space behind some of your commas and full stops, and "untill" I think is still spelt "until" in the US (unless it's another word you lot have ruined).
As regards getting lots of views from men but no messages, I've no real idea with you. I'm personally attracted to the profile. However, most 'men' look at any pic with a woman in it; there are women on here who have over 600 or 700 'men' who've put them on their favourites list and over 100 mailings a day (you can guess why). I suspect they sense you're intelligent and thus won't be fooled by any ulterior motives they have. In this sense the profile is separating the good men from the weirdo's and pillocks (English expression for idiot). Perhaps that's a lesson for all women on here. So rejoice in your low hit rate!
One of the best I've read (but I'm prejudiced towards intelligence and wit). | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:50:26 AM | Hello waltraute again,
Two reviews for the price of one!!! The first was one that was sent just as the remote network connection failed and I presumed it didn't go through. Therefore I took the opportunity to add some things I forgot. Second review posted is the proper one.
Good luck with it all. | |

Photo's. Main photo's fine but not well cropped. I suspect you had to do that to crop someone out. Oh, I'm being picky here aren't I. Other pic needs cropping and I'm not sure it's flattering -- would rather see it replaced. Add one or two more pics as you seem to be good-looking.
Nice range of interests.
The main profile is fine for someone looking for a very good friend.
"relevance of profiles" What! How can you say that! It has all the relevance in the world! Seriously though, it's not what you say it's the way you say it. If you're intelligent and write well you can write down your personality without using any words to describe yourself. Indeed you've done just that to some extent.
The impression you give is, as you say, open and honest (so that's confirmed itself), confident, intelligent, and judging by your title intro, witty. You're also someone who seems to be down-to-earth, humorous (but perhaps more than is portrayed) and knows what they want, and above all, knows what they don't want (to all women out there - negativity is as important as postivity, you always need a balance). I wouldn't touch the content but I might try and restructure it a bit to make it read more easily.
I like what you said under 'first date'.
All in all, pretty good.
P.S. Can't help noticing you're an ex-pat (and a fellow scientist, if an ecologist can be classed as one). I have some questions about that. Any chance I can message you? (you'll have to message me first as I won't be able to get past your mail settings, e.g., I don't live within 75 miles). No worries if you don't want to. Take care. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 4:37:26 AM | Hello angelbimz,
One of the best set of photo's I've seen, and you have a dog, so no hidden surprises for non-dog lovers.
You should at least list a few of your interests, as well as saying "I have more, just ask".
Your main profile reads a little bit like a cliche and is similar to those found in a newspaper lonely hearts columns. That's due to the forced way you've described yourself. Don't worry, the content is okay but it needs a personal touch. Get away from the cliches, e.g., "...quality time with that someone special is special all on it’s own" (men will shudder), and rewrite it in your own style but obviously keep the sentiment if that's who you are.
You mention your interest in camping to home repairs. Expand on that as men like practicality in a woman and will show affinity.
The impression is of an open, friendly person but I get the further impression there's should be more to you than that.
Not sure about the poem at the end. Men do not go for that, full stop, and could put quite a few of at this stage. However, if you're looking for a really soppy man then leave it in. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 8:10:19 AM | ADDITIONAL NOTES
One or two have commented that I have not replied, either here or in private messages to me. Fear not!
I always reply and do so on a first come, first served basis. I don't skip anyone. As many of you know, an answer to a post does not necessarily follow the question. If this is the case, you'll have to scroll down through the postings to find my reply. If it's not there, it's because I haven't done it yet.
Take care! | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 11:57:20 AM | Hello fairycakes,
Out for chat/e-mail only. Not looking for a relationship by the looks of it. Married I see, which confirms it, but... you only want to talk to a man. Hmmmm.
Lots of photos, which is good, but a lot look the same. Can you get hold of a digital camera and take some more natural shots, preferably outdoors, to replace the webcam shots? However, probably not that inmportant as you're only here for chat/e-mail. Your main pic is okay.
As you're looking for chat only, it doesn't need to be long. Most people chat about interests they share, shared experiences, etc. so list any that are relevant to attract the right sort. You mention martial arts, which is different, so perhaps elaborate on that. Are you a regular swimmer? Give them something to contact you about.
I see you're only looking for chat/e-mail and married but filled out the 'first date' section - HMMMMMM. See where I going with this?
Hope I'm not being too unsubtle with the "hmmm's" but there are conflicting signals here which might worry me as a man or indeed attract the wrong type. Did you fill out the 'first date' section because you felt you had to? If so, leave it blank. Did you really mean that you're only looking for a man to chat to? If not, then amend. Or is my impression the one you looking to provide, in which you've got it spot on!
Take care. | |
