Posted: 5/10/2005 9:00:07 AM | Safety advice for EVERYONE!
** Always meet in public place. They should not know where you live! **
1. Have an unlisted number. Make sure that they can't find your address from lookin up your phone number.
Look yourself up to see if your address is online:
2. get caller ID.
if they only call from work or pay phone they may already be involved.
3. do not give out your work or home numbers
4. *67 to block your number
5. don't use real name as screen name ever
don't tell them your last name or where you work.
6. for a date...suggest a place that you know well-- not in a dark alley or what not. use valet parking if available. DO NOT leave safe meeting place to do stuff after. THey can ask you out for another date. DO NOT let them lead you to their car. DO NOT get in their car!!!
7. tell people when and where you are meeting the person and when you will be back along with all the info you have on the person: numbers, email, photo etc... call them when you get home.
8. if you get bad vibes at ALL JUST GO! don't worry about being rude.
9. do NOT let them walk you to your car and see which way you are leaving. try to leave separately..... drive in opposite direction till you lose them and go home.
10. dont' leave drink unnattended ever

| Purity555 review
Posted: 5/10/2005 9:13:15 AM | Purity555
"Nintendo is my God"?? You are weird. Definitely original! ha ha ha
Please consider this: Your headline is designed 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 get to reading further of someones profile.
So about your picture. YOU HAVE NONE. Whats the dealio here lady?lol, getcha a cool pic up, maybe with a smile or something where you are having fun.
Pictures are a definite "must have" if you expect anyone to check out your profile. 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) NOT 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!
Your "Dating Interests" are pretty much bland and blend into the rest of the profiles at POF. Seriously. Go look at a dozen different profiles and see if most do not list 5 of the 8 things you have listed.
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff or really fumble and make the person lose interest.! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
For example, Perhaps you like reading.
DONT PUT READING! Be more specific as "reading" is too friggin general. Anything so general and broad is open to interpretation and more than likely backfires on ya every time.
Example #2: 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!
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",
Not too crazy about it as a whole.
Look, first things first. 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. The first sentence is the most important. Start it in a boring or negative way, and it's a turn off for those you seek.
Tell about yourself, stay positive. Don't go referring to the exes or 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!
You need more about yourself. So get 'ta writing ;o)
"First Date".
So lemme get this straight.
On your first date meeting someone, you would invite them over to your house, the same house your kids live at, and make him a steak for dinner? Followed by a "walk or play cards"?
With all due respect, this idea sucks and is dangerous on many levels. Come on, you can do better!
Whats wrong with keeping it simple. If all you can come up with is dinner and drinks, put "Dinner and Drinks". Us guys need a clue anyways as to what you'd really like to do.
So there ya go. | |

| wiltedtigerlily's review.
Posted: 5/10/2005 9:35:51 AM | It ain't your weight, it's way more than something that simple!!
Now comes the time for wiltedtigerlily's review.
I have been dreading this too. Believe me, this will not be pretty!!
About your headline, "Can you make this flower bloom?"
"Can I?" Yes, probably. But would a guy wanna? Based on yoru profile, the answer would be "oh hell no!".
Let me explain....
Your headline is designed 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 get to reading further of someones profile.
Your particular headline, well, I am not entirely sure what it is suggesting. But I'd lose it and come up with something better. Use your creativity. Use some humor. Catch the eyes. You can do it!!
"Do you have children?Prefer Not To Say"
This struck me as funny. Do you not know if you have kids or not? Not sure maybe? Or perhaps you are preggers and not exactly "there" yet. Whats up with this?
Oh yes, almost skipped over your pictures. Dayum girl. 3 of your pics jump out at me and not in a good way. But I am sure some guys like the "hootchie mama" look, so I suppose you would wish to keep those in if you are looking to attract those guys who are attracted to such. Being sexy is a state of mind. You attempt it in your first pic, with the glasses and the short (tight) dress. But the others fail.
Personally, I like the 1st & 3rd pictures only. The rest, they gots to go!
Ok, about your "dating Interests",
Somewhat good selection and variety. "LIstening to all kinds of music" eh? You enjoy classical? Hip hop? Jazz? R&B? Electronica? New Age? Grunge? Headbanging music? Christian Music?
If "yes", then great. If no, how about a little more specifics?!!
Same goes for "reading/writing", "Movies/tv" & heck, throw in "shopping" too. SPECIFICS
"About me"
Started off ok, then started to go down.
LOSE "I am "gun shy" and afraid of getting hurt again". Best saved for later when you actually get to communicating with folks.
Wouldn't hurt ya if, after every six or seven setences, hit the "enter" button to create a whole new paragraph. This section, to me, lookslikeitrunstogether!
Watch the spelling too. "I do a 750's protraial" should be "I do a 750's portrayal" unless you can explain to me WTF a "protraial" is. Think a lot of other people will know what you are talking about here, mispelled or not? I doubt it. Perhaps best saved for later.
LOSE "Not looking for a one night stand or marriage"
Guys will not believe you, especially if you bring it up out of the blue like you did. We will believe exactly the opposite.
LOSE "I hope to hear from Someone over 31 yrs old but under 49". You already have this indicated elsewhere. Dont waste valuable time and space repeating yourself. It will not come off as a good thing!
LOSE "Not looking for one night stands or married men", reason? see the above.
LOSE "I am looking for: Someone over 30 yrs old but under 49.Please BE IN MY AREA, or at least in the state of OHIO!!! Prefer you to be WHITE,HISPANIC OR NATIVE AMERICAN!!!""
You get nervous or something? You repeat yourself a buttload here. Whats the dealio?
And definitely, without hesitation or prejudice, LOSE "My personality traits: Adventurous/Wild/Spontaneous, Easygoing/Flexible/Open-Minded, Friendly/Kind, Low Maintenance, Sensitive/Nurturing/Loving, Quiet/Shy, Romantic, Serious/Responsible, Simple
WTH are you thinking? Sounds like a laundry list, a prefabricated listing of things. You can do much better at conveying these qualities about yourself.
"First Date"
Us guys appreciate you writing in the "first date" section how you'd leave it up to us guys or maybe even put "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 | |

| A review for Mack
Posted: 5/10/2005 10:01:49 AM | mack
Despite your little comment, I am still gonna review your profile. Why? Cause I like your name! lol
Plus it should be easy and quick.
Your headline, "Will someone email me? "
Are you serious with that? Come on guy, Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention. None of this "will you please 'cuz I am begging on my hands and knees, e-mail me." stuff. Boring nd smacks of desparation!! 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 get to reading further of someones profile.
Your picture, it's ok enough. Got a few more? Never hurts to have a few additional to show yourself off in different settings.
All of the questions, "drink, marital status, profession, kids, drugs, etc", all left unanswered. Which might suggest to some either you are too lazy and uninspired to answer the simplest question, or all of the answers are "yes". Its very easy to leap to either conclusion.
"Dating Interests"
You put "music". This is the only thing that interests you? And being that you just put "music", one presumes you mean all kinds of music. Country music? Christian music? Reggae and R&B? Rap? Classical? African folk songs? Buddhist monks chants? You like all that? Great. But if ya dont, try to be more specific.
"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. The first sentence is the most important. Start it negative in any way, and it's a turn off for those you seek.
Tell about yourself, stay positive. Don't go referring to the exes or 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! | |

| Kemikal review
Posted: 5/10/2005 10:16:24 AM | Kemikal
Dude, I previewed your profile and ya got some good things going for you and a few not so good.
But lets start with your headline.
"Light-hearted fun"
That supppose to describe you or what you seek? lol
Change it, give it a tweak to be a little more original and specific. Uniquely you actually is what I'd say.
Ok, about the pics. Dude, whats the deal here> The last two pics you are in the pic with two different ladies. Regadless of whom they were, it will always be assumed it is your former g/f's. L-O-S-E these pictures!
The other pics are great, definite keepers! I like the one especially that has multiple pictures of you within one pic. Great work on that one!
"Dating Interests"
2 words
"Cars & Music"
2more words "They suck"
Want two more? "Lose 'em!"
How 'bout two more. "Need more"
Yeppers, we need more here dude. Too vague and general. What about those two things do you like? And is that all that absolutely captures your interests?
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff or really fumble and make the person lose interest.! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
For example, Perhaps you like reading.
DONT PUT READING! Be more specific as "reading" is too friggin general. Anything so general and broad is open to interpretation and more than likely backfires on ya every time.

"About me"
Fairly good, could add a little more about you though. Not bad!
Lose "Is this you? 5' to 5'7", educated, opinionated, ambitious, open-minded, self-sufficient but not overly stubborn?"
Come on, so if a chick, 5'8, educated, opinionated, ambitious, open-minded, self-sufficient but not overly stubborn wanted to send you an e-mail, you'd dismiss her?
Lose the line, it stinks.
"First Date",
Well I gotta say. Though not entirely original per sey, it gets your points across and is a keeper. | |

Posted: 5/10/2005 10:35:04 AM | @ iamthewalrus
About your improved profile....
Very good expansion of your interests.
Good pics, funny last one. Whats it mean, "Rue de ****e"?, still funny as all!
"About me", on target too! Good!!
"First Date", rounds it all out nicely. Good work!
@ loupdebois
Pics: Lose all the pics except the one where you are leaning against a wall... :::gasp::: smiling!
You actually smile? Wow, great! Whats with all the B&W pics though? Casts a certain depresso facto thing all over the place.
"Dating Interests"
ha ha, I knew you had a sense of humor!! GREAT STUFF!
Good expansion too. Good job!
Great "About me" section, good further use of your humor and basic everyday style!
And rounded out everything is a good and positive "first date" Good job all the way around, just please do something with those B&W pics!
And now, for the main event. A review of naterb's profile
First up, your headline. "looking for a honest relationship"
Or as I like to translate, "lose it fast and without hesitation". Too boring and blends into the workwork of every other profile out there. You need original, uniqueness, totally YOU-ness. Ya know? Try again. Just remember. You want to catch peoples attention. Catch their eye and reel 'em in to read the rest of your profile.
Your pics,
Your first pic.... well, which are ya? Little bit of advice. Dont put a picture up that has anyone else but you in the pic. Otherwise, confusion and misinterpretation will reign supreme.
Cute doggie, nice farm and good tractor. Lose, lose and please lose. Why ya featuring them? Trying to find them some company too? lol. These can be best saved for later.
"Dating Interests".
Weeellllll..... kinda vague and general here buddy.
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff or really fumble and make the person lose interest.! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
"Hunting, camping & fishing", a lot of people will basically associate all of this together. Well, maybe not hunting, but you get the idea.
"Mudding"?? What is that?
"Rivers"?? What about 'em?
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.

"About me"
Needs more... lots more.
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. The first sentence is the most important. Start it negative in any way, and it's a turn off for those you seek.
Tell about yourself, stay positive.
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 please lose "I'm very trusting, and i dont cheat on any one", and "i dont judge people for what they do. I dont play head games, i dont like cheating people that just wrong."
Think people will believe you just because you told 'em? Let them determine this for themselves as they get to know you better. Seems fair enough.
"First date" is so-so. Maybe spruce it up a little.
Try this:
"sitting down at a poolhouse or coffee shop and havinga nice conversation, getting to know each other better."
Oh sure, not too original here, but it works for ya. Go with it.
Lastly, | |

Posted: 5/10/2005 8:23:06 PM | Ok Jack I Revamped My Profile,Is not too Long,Hopefully you all wont make fun of It ~LOL~
and I am sharing a Response back,but are these type of people Real? ~LOL~
what would you do in this type of situation??? respond back????
____________________________________________________________________________
Hello, it's Holly from Plenty of Fish we spoke a pretty long time ago. You seemed very interested the last time we talked, but I got distracted by some ignorant ***hole. It's funny how men work sometimes, things can start out so nice, then make a sudden turn for the worst. I really thought things could have developed but they didn't. So I am back to dating, are u still single? I am not a demanding woman, I would like a sweet guy that enjoys giving me attention and enjoys giving me some loving. I don't think thats too much to ask, but I guess some men do. I very much enjoys relaxing nights on the couch, I am a huge movie buff. Steaks dinners really grab my fancy, but I know people work hard for their money, so every once in a while works. When you only do it once in awhile, it makes it a treat any way. How about you, what do you like in a woman? Do you think I would suit you? Let me know, is so we can get together sometime and see how it works out. If you don't remeber me, take a look at some pics on my website, I think you will like them.
I am pretty sure you will enjoy them, I had fun taking them. If you like what you see, give me a call on the number on the third page and we can chat. I hope to hear from you.
Hopefully yours, Holly

Posted: 5/10/2005 10:10:49 PM | Re: Safety advice for EVERYONE!
There is one other thing you could do, live in Kansas. 
Even if they are trying to outlaw evolution here. :-)
I don't follow any of those rules, except I'm not in the habit of meeting people in dark alleys :-) And being a male I have a few less worries than a female but life is better here.
Isn't it too bad that you have to live in fear of everybody you meet. That's why I live in Kansas, you can still talk to people on the street and they don't look at you like what do you want to steal from me.
Of course we also know that every farm house has a good collection of guns and people that know how to responsibly use them. We don't even have to lock our houses out here, theives aren't to keen on driving down a 1/4 mile long driveway to a house that probably has guns and only has one escape route.
Just had to add this after I read that post. Life in Kansas is so much better than the rest of the world. I think I'll walk down the road to the lake and go  maybe take along some  | |

| I'll review your profile and give ya some dating advice
Posted: 5/11/2005 4:36:13 AM | You Handsome,
I gotta say first, thanks for sharing the letter. This leaves a great example or two for everyone to see. Imagine folks, this was a girls "first Contact" and...... (drum roll please) from all apearances it looks to be a FORM letter. Yes yes, those in which women claim to hate getting from us has in fact been used by the opposite sex too. ha ha, and for those who expected better, get over yourselves. Women do the same things sometimes as us guys. Really now!!!
Seriously dude, this looks like a form letter to the hilt. And notice how she only really talked about herself and never really asked you a specific question from something on your profile. FORM FORM FORM, written all over that e-mail.
So whatcha gonna do? Reply perhaps? If you do, be sure to load it up with some questions directly from her profile. And ask oopen ended questions. Always ask open ended questions.
Then I tell ya, if she does not answer even half the questions (let's say you ask 10 questions, if she is lucky to answer 4), drop her and do so quickly.
Have you gotten e-mails like this before? What kind do you typically get and how many in a given week? Just curious.
I'll take a looksie at your profile shortly. | |

| vahn7ca review
Posted: 5/11/2005 4:48:39 AM | @ Danceinpants,
Yes, you reviewed my profile it seems like years ago. Go ahead, check 'er out again and gimme your take on my updated version. I am curious as to your thoughts.
Alrighty vahn7ca, your turn dude!
"Looking for a fun, exciting girl", well gosh, aren't we all. Lose this headline, too ordinary and will blend in to all the other profiles that say something similar if not identical.
Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention.
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 get to reading further of someones profile.
Your pictures, the look ok I suppose. Ladies love it when a guy has a smiling pic though. No, science has not come up with a theory as to why, much like why black holes dont occur more frequently or why nerdboy Bill Gates has more money than God. But hey, what can ya do?
I think between the two pics, I like your primary best. The second looks like you ready to put a beat down on somebody! lol
"Do you do drugs?Prefer Not To Say"
Come on guy. Anything other than "no" is automatically thought of as a "yes". Its not hard to answer the question. "Forgetting" to answer is only showing 'da ladies you got something to hide. Not a good first impression. Just answer the dang question and move on.
"Dating Interests"
You have four things listed, three of which are very vague. But on the upside, you explained (and quite well, good job dude!) about cooking. You working to be a chef?
Anyway, about your interests...
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff or really fumble and make the person lose interest.! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
Be more specific as "reading" is too friggin general. Anything so general and broad is open to interpretation and more than likely backfires on ya every time.
Example: let's say you actually put in there, "Movies" (which ya did).
A very 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? lol
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!
You get my point, right?
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",
again, your about me was actually pretty good.
Lose "I dont want a liar, cheater, mind games or any of that stuff"
too negative and it's not like those who are liars and such are gonna avoid you just because you said so. Not going to happen my friend.
Stay away from the negative stuff, and focus more about you. Give people a feel for who you are, what you're about. Stay positive, none of this "what I dont want" and such, ya know?
"First date"
Pretty good and original enough to keep the bad boy as is. Change nothing here.
Overall a good job, just some tweaks needed! Then you'll be cooking with gas!! ha ha | |

"Occupation: organ grinder"? ha ha ha ha ha ha, good! Thats a keeper!
About YOUR profile.....
"You lookin' at me?" headline
I get the movie line connection, sure. Some may not get it.
Perhaps change it to "you lookin for me?". Eh, either way....
Your pictures, great primary pic! Good job there! The others are ok too.
Just perhaps consider losing the couple that are not as well lit.
"Dating Interests"
Ok now, you have a good variety of interests. GOOD!
"Movies, music, reading" BAD
This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you really show your stuff or really fumble and make the person lose interest.! What are you interested in? Its that simple really.
For example, Perhaps you like reading, as you indicated.
DONT PUT READING! Be more specific as "reading" is too friggin general. Anything so general and broad is open to interpretation and more than likely backfires on ya every time.
Example #2: let's say you actually put in there, "Movies", which you indicated too.
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!
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", I enjoyed your sense of humor and I am sure 'da ladies will too. However, your lists are a bit out of place and possibly can be saved for a later date.
With that said, lose your lists of fave artists/bands & Fave actor/actresses.
Your humor was good and you used it well, but be careful. Too much humor interwoven will cast an image of a bit of a goofball. Someone who doesn't take anything serious ever.
"First Date"
Keep it simpler.
"Meeting for coffee (on an outdoor patio in good weather) where we can get to know each other and do some people watching, then a walk down Whyte Ave or the river valley."
Ok, thats it for now | |

| torturedgardener, your turn!

Hmmm, about your headline, "Someone to jumpstart my serotonin!"
Kinda sucks. May I suggest, if you have your heart set on all this, go this route?:
"Jumpstart my serotonin!"
Thats original and unique enough. Definitely will catch an eye or two, which is the purpose of a headline.
As for your pictures, you have one picture that is very dark. Lose it, no one can barely make out your face.
The next one too, with someone piggyback on ya, lose it and lose it quickly. Never have a picture with more than one person (you) in it! lol
Ok, so about your "Interests",
Music Cinema Literature Comedy Travelling
5 nice and vaguely general things you've listed.
You need specifics, ok?!!
Music, what about it? You like to play or listen or both? And what kind of music? Thats a lot of different kinds of music out in the world.
Cinema, yeah? What about it? You like to watch 'em or make 'em? And what kinds?
Literature, again what about 'em? Like to read or write it? And what kinds?
You get my point here.
Plus it would not hurt at all if you added more interests. The more interests the better chance you have of someone having a similar interests and thus hopefully, an e-mail ensues!
"About me",
ok ok ok, so I stand corrected slightly. Here you used this section to expand some on your cinema and music likes. Good job too by the way! Really did well. I like it all, wouldn't change much.
Maybe scale back a little on the expansion of your likes and tell a little more about yourself and your general attitude and outlook on thangs.
"First Date"
I commend you on your statement and it is fine, however we need specifics here dude. Spell it out as to what you'd really like to do on a first date. Take charge, make the call. Chicks dig that ya know!!
Overall, you had a good profile. Just a few tweaks I'd suggest. Great work!! | |

| endogoddess review, WTF???

And now we focus in on your profile.
Your headline, "Read this Profile!"
Hhmmm, ummm ok. It's catchy enough and I do not think you'll find very many profiles with a headline like it. So it's a keeper.And ya kept it simple too. Great job!
Your pictures,
Really, whats it matter if all ya wanna do is find some hanging out buds? But I'll give 'em a quick looksie just for the hell of it.
Nice pics, but why the pics of your cleavage?? Whats the purpose? YOu looking for friends, or banging buddies?
Your last pic, OMG, lose it. Your eyes look horrible in the pic, plus the pic itself is not the best lighting. Some on, doncha have something with you actually smiling?!!
You have one thatc omes close to a smile, I think.
"Marital status: living together"? Is this correct?
"Dating Interests"
You have a nice variety, good job. Really good.
"About me"
The first paragraph looks ok, for someone looking for "friends with benefits".
The second paragraph however, WTF are ya thinking? Guess you know exactly the types of responses you'll get and want with this.....
""passionate kissing, licking and sucking all over the body,postioning my self above looking deep into his eyes. Teasing his member with myself then sliding him into me. He pushes me up and off him to scoot behind me and bends me over the bed and does me hard and fast until i orgasim, grabs me by the hips pushes me back onto the bed onto my back to finish in a passionate missionary. Looking again into each others eyes worshiping each other."
" She comes to me, gazing into my eyes, she places her hands on either side of my face pulling my lips towards hers. The kiss last moments taking my breath away. I have never felt lips so soft and full. All my senses are awakened. The feel of her skin sends shivers thru my body, her smell has my brain spinning out of control. I kiss her deeper. I start sliding her shirt up over her, im aching to feel her breasts in my hands. I move my kisses down to her neck and chest. We move to the bed where I sit as she stand in front of me. I take her breast into my mouth, gently sucking her nipple. She gasps and pulls my head closer to her forcing me to suck harder. She is shaking. I pull her down on top of me. She runs her hands down my body, her hand stops she inserts a digit and I quake in one of many orgasms."
Yeah sure, you looking for "friends" alright. sssuuuurrrreeeee ya are. Does your live in know of this? Perhaps you are in one of them "open" type relationships. lol
Ok, thats it for me. Wasted enough time here. | |
