| First ever MULTIPLE reviews!
Posted: 5/3/2005 7:31:09 PM | You have to be kidding me... All of you actually are waiting in line for the "dating expert" to review and critique your profile???? LOL I guess there isn't much on tv lately is there???
Mmmmm and IF he is such a dating expert, why are you on this site anyhow? There are many people with self esteem issues already!... Must you add to them?  | |

A) Did I ever claim once to be an expert?
B) Just giving my opinion, you no likey?
C) Loosen up for crikeys sake!
D) Why am I here if I were an "expert"? To advise people like you who are also on the list.
E) Don't worry, I'll review your profile too. But you have to wait in line like everyone else.
@ Wyldranger
Yeah, I understand what you mean. All I was saying though was a truck didn't really belong in a persons profile, ya know? There is always time to introduce them later.
I checked out the revised profile, it's getting there. Still needs tweaking though.
@ Baldone
Good headline, now you're cooking!
Still ever growing and excellent dating interests
Just re-read through it again.. from a distance. Last line in "About me" seems out of place and doesn't make sense.
Whats the deal with the "First Date"? You have a writing spasm? ha ha, interesting, I'll give ya that!

| Helpful Hints and tips
Posted: 5/4/2005 4:49:45 AM | OK people,
For all those from this point who wish the good doc to check under 'da hood of your profile, stand in the corner and listen up!
Before I go looking at folks profile, I need to let ya in on a few tips for you.
First, it would really help you (and me) out tremendously if you looked at previous posts as you may very well pick up lots of helpful hints and suggestions.
Second, as you will see in many many many of my posts, the same themes remain true. Kind of weird if you ask me, but hey, thats the way it tis.
So before somebody else asks me to check out their profile, from this moment on I will have a set criteria in which someone must pass before I consider it.
Here goes.....
1) Your headline:
Please consider this: Your headline is designated to catch peoples attention.
None of this "Nice guy/gal seeks..." stuff. Boring!! Get creative, get crazy! Have fun with it. Try to think of what would catch YOUR eye, to hold your attention enough for you to go reading further of someones profile.
2) Pictures: A definite must have. I hate it, I really really do, but it is a must. Most (a generalization) people will not even bother with a profile unless there is a pic. Rude and Crude, I know. But it is as it is.
So getcha a picture or two and put it up in your profile. Be sure:
a) it is nothing with bad lighting,
b) a group picture or it is not a picture with more than one (YOU) in it,
c) Dont feature your kid, cars or pets.
d) Wouldn't kill ya to smile!
3) "Do you do Drugs?", this is a question asked in the profile. If you answer anything other than "Yes" or "No", people will automatically assume "Yes" and more than likely turn away and go to the next profile. It may not be so much you do drugs (which I suspect mostly would be pot... but thats my own suspicions) but its that you were holding back and or some may even equate it to lying. Not a good first impression to put forth.
Another question: "Marital Status", be truthful. What is the deal currently as you fill out your profile. If you are dating somebody, well? If you have been divorced for years and years... well?
4) "Dating Interests"
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
Perhaps you like reading. DONT PUT READING! Be more specific as "reading" is too friggin general. Anything general i sopen to interpretation and more than likely backfires on ya.
For example, let's say you actually put in there, "Movies".
Another general and very broad interest.
Think a moment, will ya? How many movies do you suppose has been made since turn of the century? Now of all those movies, how many different variations and genre do you think there are?
If you think about it, the different varieties are staggeringly high. Do you really like all of those differences and varieties? I am gonna bet "no". So be specific. You like horror over comedy? Maybe chick flicks versus guy movies of shoot-emn-up bang bang movies. Whatever the case, be specific. This is a very important key that may unlock your future happiness should you meet someone!
"Dinner". Yeah, there is a real specific interest too. Wanna even start to imagine how many different types of dinners and foods and scenarios there are? One would geta headache just trying. Again, specifics!!!
Generally, there are a few "industry standards" to avoid. Well, maybe not avoid, just be more specific.
TV/Movies
Dinner/cooking
Camping
Music
Reading/books
Computers
Always ask yourself, "what about 'em". Then fill it in some as to what you like about them, or what variety or what have you.
And my other tip is, be sure to have lots of things listed. 8 or 10 is what I would go with.
Why?
Its the shotgun theory, for those who hunt. You see, a shotgun shell has many tiny little pellets generally called "buckshot". When the gun is fired, these buckshot spread out as they fly through the air towards the target, ensuring larger coverage and thus, better chance at hitting something.
You are the gun. Your interests are the buckshot. And the more you list (and specify) of interests, the better chance you have of having something in common with someone else that will, thusly, create a hit! Then an e-mail is sent and before long, you are at the beginning of a nice relationship.
"About me"
This section is where you can tie in all in. This is THE place you want to express yourself as to who you are. What your attitude on life is like. Maybe expand some more on your interests too.
Tell about yourself, stay positive. Don't go referring to the ex or please do not go on and on about what you do not want from a person or what you do not like. This is a bigas* turnoff and it can be best left for later, after the first contact e-mail.
Remain focused on yourself and what you want. End this section with who you seek. What kind of person. Again, stay away from the negatives of who you do NOT want and so forth. Stay positive!
And finally, the :First Date"
Ladies, turn away for a second, I gotta talk to 'da guys.
Dudes, guys and gents. Here's the deal. Wether we like it or hate it, this is where we can either seal the deal or seal our fate.
We HAVE to take charge here, and indicate what we would like to do on the first date. We have to take control, it is expected. None of this "maybe", or "might" stuff, no no. Don't be tentative. And don't write "whatever the lady would like". No no. Oh sure, sweet thought and nice gesture sure. But guys, let's have a contingency plan at the vert least. Because odds are she will be expecting you to take control and will invariably say "I don't know, what would you like to do?"
Save time and save face here brothers! Take control, make the call!
Just don't go writing "sex" or some BS like that. First date dudes! Let's keep it gentlemanly, ya know?
Ok ladies, you can read from here on.
Ladies, if i may take a second here. Ladies, We appreciate you writing in the "first date" section how you'd leave it up to us guys or maybe even ut "whatever" in this section but you know, it really helps us out a lot if you give us a clue what you might consider. You see, it would be dreadful for all involved if you were the type who expected a nice dinner and maybe some dancing, but we took you skydiving instead because all you said was "whatever he wants".
That may make for a bad first date especially for someone who is terrified of heights. ha ha.
So all I am saying here is help us out just a bit. Give us a direction in which to go. Clue us in on what you would really like to do on the first date. We'll take it from there, I think we'll be able to handle things from that point!
Ok, so there ya have it. My points and helpful hints. From this point on, for those who want reviews, ya better have read this post first. And then in an e-mail to me or post on the thread you've read this and made the changes accordingly before I even start your review. Otherwise, well, it may be a loonnnggg wait in the doctors' waiting room! lol | |

| Ladykiss's review
Posted: 5/4/2005 5:27:09 AM | Ladykiss,
Oh gee, you were next on the list. I try to get at these profiles when I can. If you can do a better, faster job....... well thats ok, I am here now. SO calm down before I get the nurse to slug ya. She is my anesthesiologist! ha ha.
Your headline, "still believing in the possible"
Suck suck suck-aroo!
Is this what you hope will grab some peoples attention? To catch their eye and get them to read further about you?
Would it of you if the situation were reversed? I am betting "Nope".
Change it. Get creative. Get wild and crazy, go silly. Whatever it takes. This is where you want to grab someone by the scruff of the neck, to catch an eye and encite to read on further.
Your picture, not too bad I gotta say.
Would it be possible to get a pic up there with you wearing a smile? I suspect you got a killer 9.0 smile! Give it a go, ok?
"Dating Interests"
Welp, It runs the trifecta of industry standards. I just posted some helpful tips and hints about three posts earlier than this, go back and read up. It'll give you all sorts of insights!!
"About me",
Again, I just posted some helpful tips and hints about three posts earlier than this, go back and read up. It'll give you all sorts of insights!!
"First Date" is nice, maybe go a little off the beaten path for a "first date" though. Just a suggestion.
So take the suggestions or not, and let me know what you come up with. Oh yeah, if you have a sense of humor, dont be afraid to use it!!!!! | |

My picture is as crappy as it is because I used a sub-par webcam to take the pic. My ability to get a real picture is limited, but I can make it happen if it's absolutely necessary. | |
