| purebredmutt review
Posted: 5/20/2005 12:47:14 PM | purebredmutt, your turn!
Oh man oh man, you in my neck of 'da woods too!
Cool!
Careful with that SN, some may believe you's a dog, dawg! ha ha
Ok, about your headline, "I'm special, just ask my therapist "
Funny enough. I'm about 50/50 on it though and would lean towards losing it and coming up with something just a wee bit more original, ya know?
Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention. To grab them by the scruff of the neck, to capture both their curiosity and imagination.
"Dating Interests"
Another person who has been paying attention in class! Good work on these interests, showing more variety and specifics.
Not just "movies", but "( especially old Hong Kong action flics)"
Impressive! Good work here!
And the humor, " fixing things, breaking things so I can fix them" ha ha, sheer genuis! HA HA
"About me",
A little troubling here for me. First, seems awfully choppy. Doesn't flow well. Try reading this section outloud and see what I mean.
Secondly, I have some probs with the following:
"I'm looking for an independant woman capable of trusting a guy that travels for a living.
Note to single mothers: I've got nothing against kids, I'm just not ready for any right now, and the fact is, they are part of the equation from the get-go."
"woman capable of trusting a guy that travels for a living." sounds like baggage you wish to share from a past relationship where the lady always suspected something. Bad move dude, lose this and lose it fast!
"Note to single mothers", I understand the purpose of this, but perhaps you could save this for the first contact e-mail. Just address it here as "no kids" perference or something to that effect.
"First Date"
Interesting yet droning. Narrow it down some.
And keep it simple.
How about something like,
"Hit a dance club followed by a late night, candle lit dinner, with sparking conversation over****ails". Or something like that. Save the rest of the things you wrote for e-mails later.
There ya go! | |

Hey thats great. You got a fishy, though far away!

| I'll review your profile and give ya some dating advice
Posted: 5/20/2005 12:59:44 PM | At the risk of sounding like an idiot (I'm not sure if I should know who you are), are you getting paid for this?? If not, I hope you're the favorite to capture the 2005th Good Samaritan award. 523 replies and counting...that's a lot of work.
Either way, thanks again! | |

Posted: 5/20/2005 1:05:55 PM | Aawww thanks HH,
Nope, not getting paid a dime, although I do accept contributions! lol
Seriously, just trying to help out fellow fishers and hopefully, success for them will follow. I had actually thought of starting a serious matchmaking thing through here and all, but that'll take up WAY too much of my time. Maybe when I retire in like 35 years I will. But until then.... just some reviews to do!
Thanks for the kudos. I will add it to the others I have gotten. They are appreciated!! | |

| MeGaN96 review, sort of
Posted: 5/20/2005 5:37:23 PM | MeGaN96
Ok, you asked for my opinion of your profile.
Are you serious about your profile? I suspect not, but I am gonna treat it seriously.
This will be quick and simple. It is basically a train wreck.
I am gonna skip over your bland and typucal headline that every other girl has on POF ("wAnTeD::Mr. RiGhT") and go right to your pictures.
Bored or not, your pictures suggest a certain aspect of you. I hope you realize this, or perhaps this is exzactly what you hoped to convey.
So do not be surprised if guys e-mail you and ask if you charge by the hour or by the position.
You are 18? And you post pics like that?? Bored is your excuse? Again I gotta say, your pictures suggest something else entirely.
One more question. How many guys who e-mail you, proposition you or otherwise make some smarta$$ comment or otherwise suggestive thought?
"Do you do drugs?Prefer Not To Say"
This always suggest to anyone that the answer is "yes". So why not admit it? You've pretty much admitted a lot of other things in your profile, what do you have to lose?
Overall, you are young and have tons to learn. In the meantime, relax, have fun and enjoy yourself. You better get the fun in now. | |
|
| well, good stuff or no?
Posted: 5/20/2005 6:56:56 PM | | sort of self explanatory, but it seems that you make a good critic, not to change profile, just the way that they explain themselves, i like that, you doing a good job | |

| OptimumTaurus review
Posted: 5/20/2005 7:07:31 PM | Thanks, man. "Valar morghulis" means "All men must die", but I prefer to interpret it as "All men are mortal". It's supposed to be "deep". Blaxploitation is just a film genre that was popular back in the 70s. I'm a happenin' soul brotha, even if it was a bit ahead of my time.
Thanks, tho. | |

Posted: 5/20/2005 9:58:40 PM | Hey there Jack. Let me first say it's quite awesome what your doing, takes a lot of time and patience. I'm sure I'm not the only one to say how much I appreciate your efforts.
Well, since this this my first post might as well find out what I can improve on my profile. Let me know what you think, and I know I need more pictures. :)
Thanks | |

Well you can review my profile and see what I need done to it. Do I need to add anything else to it or delete some stuff? But I do like the pics. Best pics of me since 2001. profile: mjatas

| MeGaN96, an apology... sort of
Posted: 5/21/2005 4:31:54 AM | Ok, so yesterday I posted a review for MeGaN96's profile. Let's just say it was less than enthusiastic. And for that, I apologize to MeGaN96.
And to MeGaN96 I offer this:
Look, you are 18 years old. Thats quite young. I am concerned that the pictures you posted in your profile, paired with the fact you like to drink and party, is a great recipe for disaster. Thats all I am saying. Well, that and along with the fact your profile puts forth a certain image that you may not have intended. Thats not to say you are that image, just that it would strongly suggest it.
Tone your profile down some. Its wild, whack and very loud!!
So again, my apologies for being a little too over the top in my review to MeGaN96.
Thanks

Posted: 5/21/2005 4:42:29 AM | who_the_fox
Hhmmm, interesting SN.
"Woohoo!! Rodeo Weekend!!" good headline too. Definitely original! lol
Pictures:
Interesting primary pic. I like it for the fact it is original. Back to the camera, and you can barely see your face in the reflection in the mirror.
I like all your pics, and surprisingly, even the one (Black & White) that looks professional. I tend to tell folks to shy away from these fakeries because people know that it just looks out and out fake.
BUT not this one. It looks dayum good! So keep all the pics you posted, great job in your selections and nice smiles!!!!
"Dating Interests"
Somebody else has been paying attention in class!! Great work at being specific with regards to your preferences in music, reading and movies. I am impressed. Excellent!!
"About me"
I like most of what you wrote. Very good and tells the tale of who you are and some of what you're about.
Just one tiny little qualm.
You selected that you have no kids, then took the time to put "My 3 offspring are now adults and off living their own lives, so I selected that I have "no children"."
Wate of time and has a certain shadow of deceit.
Select "have children" then in your "about me" plainly state "kids are grown up and flew the coop" or something in that regard.
"First Date"
hhmmm, the first part was ok, but then it went down hill, into the water and down the rapids! ha ha.
If I may suggest, Us guys appreciate you writing in the "first date" section how you'd leave it up to us guys or maybe even put "whatever" or keeping this area pretty much vague or blank out and out, 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 wrote 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!
So there ya have it. One guys thoughts on your profile. The good doctor has delivered yet again! lol | |

| KCLady review
Posted: 5/21/2005 4:54:15 AM | KCLady
Hmmm, "All the Right Notes" eh?
This is what you think will capture someones attention and encite them to read further into your profile?
Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention.
To grab them by the scruff of the neck, to capture both their curiosity and imagination.
What is it that catches your of others profiles? Thats a good place to start.
None of this Boring and unimaginative stuff like what you have!! Get creative, get crazy! Have fun with it. And remember, Try to think of what would catch YOUR eye, to hold your attention enough for you to go reading further of someones profile. You can do better, I just know it!
Your picture, eh, got any with an actual smile on your face? Maybe think a little harder as to what picture you wanna use here.
"Dating Interests":
You have "Music Romance Coffee Cooking Smilez Keeping it simple"
Well guess what? You kept it way too simple here. This is the place you need more specifics. This, I think, is the one biggest boo boo most people make. This is where you should really show your stuff! (Specifics here) What are you interested in?
Its that simple really.
Maybe you like reading. DONT PUT "READING"! Be more specific. "reading" is too friggin general. Anything general is open to interpretation and more than likely will backfire on ya every time.
How 'bout "movies", 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-em-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 I have found that 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 to be sure to have lots of things listed. 8 or 10 is what
I would go with. Why?
Its the shotgun theory. 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"
The first paragraph sucks. Lose it and lose it fast!
So the very first few words you wish to write is what you claim you are not. "whiny, ill-tempered, jealous, selfish, tacky, frigid... " blah blah blah.
Got 2 questions for you.
1) Do you really think that those type of people you claim you are not would really admit to being those very type of people? (Answer: NO)
2) Would you believe anyone who puts the same thing in their profile? Or would you, like most people, approach it with a degree of suspicion and think perhaps some of the things listed are either true or perhaps many people have told them that they were.
Think on it. In the meantime, lose the first paragraph in its entirely and without prejudice.
The second paragraph, definitely some material here you can start this section with.
Remember, 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.
DO's:
* The first paragraph talk about yourself, what you believe in, your general
attitude in life and maybe even expand a little about a few of your interests.
* Explain in this section why you are interesting enough for someone to
send you an e-mail or to respond to one you've sent.
DON'T's:
* Don't go referring to an ex and what they have or haven't done. This
smacks of baggage and folks have enough baggage of their own.
* Don't go on about what you DON'T want ("no liars, no head games") or
what you are NOT looking for in a person. Do you really expect these
types of people to be honest enough to avoid you simply because you
wrote you were not interested in those type of people? Not gonna happen my friend!
* Don't be negative or put yourself down.
"I may not be easy on the eyes but...." or "I hate my hair..."
Negativity, Its a big 'ol waste of time that can be better served talking more of yourself.
* And DO NOT be tentative.
"My friends tell me that I am funny...", what, you dont believe 'em?
"I feel happy sometimes..."
Lose these types of statements. Everyone is insecure enough with
themselves in one form or fashion. No need broadcasting it for all the
world (or North america mostly at POF... lol) to see. Not to mention this is
your first impression you are trying to paint here. You really want part of it
to be you do not think highly of yourself?
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!
"First date", it's a classic "meal and coffee", but hey, if that is what you'd really like to do on the first date, then so be it.
So there ya go! | |

| joeniceguy review
Posted: 5/21/2005 5:03:42 AM | joeniceguy
Not too sure if I'd be as confident as you to put "nice guy" in my sn. But hey, go with it if it has worked for you so far.
"Would you like some fries with that???"
Good headline but shouldn't that be "you want some fries with that shake???" lol
Your picture,
Its fair. Kinda dark a little and what? No smile? How dare ya!! ha ha.
Seriously though, try to dig up some recent pics of you with a smile, maybe outdoors somewhere. Uuummm, you DO smile, doncha? lol
Ok ok, potential snag here with the "Marital StatusSeparated"
It is good you are truthful. So 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?
I
Being "Separated" may affect the amount of responses you get as
technically, you are still married. It wouldn't hurt to put a simple sentence in the "about me" section explaining how long ya been split and possibly
when you expect the divorce to go through. Just keepin it real here, alright?
"Dating Interests"
EXCELLENT. Yet another person who paid attention! Great variety and specificity! Good work here!
"About me"
Good start, demonstrating both humility and humor. Good job there.
Your second paragraph however, I am just a little hesitant about. Lose the "Nice Guy" thing. Either those who are admit it and get trampled, or those guys who admit being a nice guy only to turn out to be real sh*theads, ya know? Women are cautious towards guys who claim to be nice guys. Change it.
Lose this part too "Most guys would love to have a Cover Girl on thier arm, me included. However ..."
WTF you thinking dude? This is women we're fishing for. You wanna tell her right off the bat "oh sure, I'd love to have a cover model.... but will settle for you"?? ha ha, good luck with that! You're gonna need it.
OR you can just lose the line and be done with that.
"First Date"
Keep it simple.
"Out for coffee and nice conversation. Let's see where it goes from there." kind of thing, ya know?
Overall I liked your profile but definitely needs a few tweaks! | |

Posted: 5/21/2005 5:16:42 AM | smmrbnny23
Your turn. Step up to the exam table and say "aaahhhhhh"
lol
The good doctor is in.
About your headline. "liketryingtofindatlantis..."
I am not entirely sure what you were shooting for here.
Didn't come off well. Try again.
Remember, Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention.
To grab them by the scruff of the neck, to capture both their curiosity and
imagination.
What is it that catches your of others profiles? Thats a good place to start.
Get
creative, get crazy! Have fun with it. And remember, Try to think of what
would catch YOUR eye, to hold your attention enough for you to go
reading further of someones profile.
About your pictures, these two were the absolute best you can come up with? Showcasing your boobs do not guarantee you will find a guy you can click with that much quicker. To be honest, it may guarantee you will get more lewd responses than anything. Unless thats what you are hoping for. Hey, whatever floats your boat.
For me, your first and primary pic is alright. The second one, well, poor lighting. Lose it.
You have a nice smile, you should try to find a few more pics that show that more than your boobs.
A major boobage pic is in direct porportion to how much of a boob the owner of said boobs looks like.
So what kind of relationship do you seek?
"Other Relationship"??
So you just want a fu*k buddy? Because seriously, most guys think this is what "Other Relationship" means. Sex. Nothing else. Is that what you meant? If so, keep it. Otherwise, lose it.
"Dating Interests"
You have a pretty good list, although I'd be more specific in "dancing music and writing".
Ask yourself "wjay about 'em?" and fill in these a little more.
"About me"
"theres an on my shoulder, and a in the corner" Thats it? This sucks royally. If in France, "Royale with cheese" suck.
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 (way) more about yourself, stay positive.
DO's:
* The first paragraph talk about yourself, what you believe in, your general
attitude in life and maybe even expand a little about a few of your interests.
* Explain in this section why you are interesting enough for someone to
send you an e-mail or to respond to one you've sent.
DON'T's:
* Don't go referring to an ex and what they have or haven't done. This
smacks of baggage and folks have enough baggage of their own.

my friend!

Negativity, Its a big 'ol waste of time that can be better served talking more

"My friends tell me that I am funny...", what, you dont believe 'em?
"I feel happy sometimes..."

world (or North america mostly at POF... lol) to see. Not to mention this is
your first impression you are trying to paint here. You really want part of it
to be you do not think highly of yourself?
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!
"First Date"
Could it be anymore confusing? You'd consider going out with a guy who is witty and yadah yadah, but "this is only the internet and I don't think that I'll be taking anybody up for a dinner offer from here anytime soon."
So why ya wasting folks time then?
Delete this entire "dating" section if that were true.
But I suspect it isn't. You wanna go out on a date but you also wanna meet new people. Get a new influx of friends and such, am I right?
So why not select "Friends" in the area for relationships you seek, and go from that mindset?
In the "First Date" section, keep it simple as to what you'd really like to do on a 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" or keeping this area pretty
much vague or blank out and out, 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

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. | |

| Flynndanarra review
Posted: 5/21/2005 5:27:24 AM | Flynndanarra
"looking for intelligent/facinating chat"
Well now, thats original (somewhat). Hope the rest of your profile backs this up. Otherwise, I'd try for something different. Something original, uniquely you and fun!
About your picture, well, you can see your face. I bet it would look way better with a smile! Doncha smile?? Got any pics whatsoever of you in a smile?? Think on that.
"Marital Status - Separated"
Being "Separated" may affect the amount of responses you get as
technically, you are still married. It wouldn't hurt to put a simple setence in
the "about me" section explaining how long ya been split and possibly
when you expect the divorce to go through.
You did go into a little detail in the "about me" section, just asking for a wee bit more.
"Dating Interests"
Pretty good selection and a few uniquely you ones, like "unexplained phenomena" & "chainmailing"
"About me"
Well, for starters, would it have killed ya to hit "enter" or carriage return every six or seven sentences? Kinda blends together all of your writing. Space it out some.
Watch spelling too. Dont worry, we all have that problem.
Freindship" should be "friendship"
Overall this section is ok. I'd personally suggest spicing it up a little with humor. You do laugh, no?? With 5 kids, I'd think you had a good bead on laughter! Why not try it.
"First Date"
Excellent actually. You gave some very good examples. Good job here!
So there ya have it. My thoughts. | |

Headline, "Unconventional female looking for soulma"
Ya got cut off at the end. Might I suggest "Quirky lady seeks unconven. guy" or something to that effect?
Your pictures.
Lose the skulls. What were you thinking? lol
Is that your personal collection of guys who you've dated in the past? lol
Seriously though, lose that picture as well as the 2nd one where the lighting is awful.
Your primary pic, with such a nice smile, is definitely the way to go!

Posted: 5/21/2005 5:42:19 AM | nextinline
"Watching and waiting"??
This is your headline, the thing you hope to attract attention?
I gotta be honest with ya, its creepy. lol, seriously. You really hope women are going to respond to the fact you are watching and waiting? The "watching" part is the creepy part, the "waiting" part is the desparate part you may not have meant to convey.
Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention.
To grab them by the scruff of the neck, to capture both their curiosity and
imagination.
What is it that catches your of others profiles? Thats a good place to start.
Your pictures. Your primary one looks like you took it in a closet. You be hiding and watching folks from a closet? dude, what are you thinking?
Look, we all know pictures are 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 not a pic with bad lighting,
b) is 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!
Dating Interests, need more. And specifics. What about "reading" do you enjoy?
And "sleeping"?? Really now, lose that!
"About me"
I liked a majority of this section. Good job! Really from the heart too. The ladies should definitely appreciate that.
I would lose "I can be pretty hard on myself at times, I don't seek perfection...that'll just drive you nuts, but I expect alot from myself, to give an example...I write songs sometimes and once filled a notebook on just one trying to get it "right"."
A bity negative and offish. Best saved for a later conversation, ya know?
"First Date"
Dude, Here's the deal. Whether 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, we all know that it's a
sign of weakness.
And don't write "whatever the lady would like". No no.
Oh sure, the ladies will think it's a sweet thought and nice gesture sure. But
guys, let's have a contingency plan at the very 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?"
Make the call. What would you really like to do on a first date?
Save time and save face here friends! 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? | |

Your turn dude.
Your headline, "Stop your search here", eh, I'd try for better. You seem to be close to being original, but like maybe one can short of a six pack, ya know? lol
Remember, Your headline is designed to catch peoples attention.
To grab them by the scruff of the neck, to capture both their curiosity and
imagination.
What is it that catches your of others profiles? Thats a good place to start.
About your pictures, not bad dude. Not bad at all. And :::gasp:::: you are smiling! lol, Women love pics of guys smiling. So good move there!
"Dating Interests" good job, great variety. I'd just suggest being more specific with regards to your movies and music tastes.
"About me"
I was really enjoying your profile up to this point. You seemed to have lots going for ya and good interests and such.
Then you fall on your face here. Ya came up short.
You had a few good moments however, "quirky sense of humor" stood out, as was the last sentence or two.
As I have explained before, 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.
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!
"First date"
good job here!
My only other item I'd point out is your restrictions.
You will only get e-mails from people within a 75 mile radius of you. If I was to e-mail this review to you, I could not as I am not within 75 miles of you. Just something to think about. It could be limiting the responses you get. What if there was a woman who totally dug ya, but lived 80 miles away from you? You just blew it.
I am not saying consider those that are like 1,500 miles away, just to lighten up on the restrictions and you may get more responses.
And lastly, keep in mind that even if you have a killer profile, it is not the absolute guarantee you'll find success. Your first contact e-mail would be more important than your profile. Just more for ya to think on. | |

Ok dude,. you are up!
Double H, sounds like the kid brother of a WWE wrestler! lol, but I kid!
So about your headline, "Look away. I'm hideous!"
It doesn't fit with the rest of your profile. Lose it. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt you can come up with something as original and unique as the rest of your profile! Something that will make one laugh and hold attention enough to read further into your profile.
About your pictures, well, being that you are only looking for hang out buds, I wont crack the whip on ya too bad for havinga picture of you and an ex g/f of yours. But if you sought for more than friends, perhaps you'd consider losing the pic. Or at the very least photoshopping it to cut half the picture out entirely!
I'd suggest go with the second pic. Its the best. Good lighting and got a smile going. And worked your doggie into the pic.
"Dating Interests"
What the heck is "420"?? Is this a common thing in yoru country where most women will know what it is? I'd only guess an area code perhaps.
We need more specifics in this section.
"books"? "Music"? "Sports"? Really now, what about 'em? What specifics do you like??
"About me"
It was a gas. Very good at conveying a sense of yourself as well as humor!
I would lose the negatives however (" bad things about me".
And you consider "I'm a good drunk" a good thing? lol
Obviously POF did not reject your profile, so you can lose the "Don't reject this profile "Plenty of Fish" or I'm gonna snap...I'm doing this at work you know...show some respect!" stuff.
"First date", ya did good. Maybe lose a few words (close to rambling). Keep it simple. Maybe something like, "going out for drinks on a patio, going out for some coffee/window shopping always works best I have heard. I like to keep it pretty simple when it comes to first dates." | |

| Question for MeGaN96
Posted: 5/21/2005 6:17:10 AM | Hey MeGaN96
Got a question for ya.
I have a guy in mind that you may be interested in at POF.
No not me, sorry kiddo, I am taken. ha ha
Seriously though, he is 23 though and lives in British Columbia Canada. Now I am unsure how far exactly that is, but I think you two have a LOT in common and would hit it off.
Interested??

Posted: 5/21/2005 9:29:55 AM | | Thanks very much for the input. I appreciate it :) I didn't put anything very specific for the "date" question because I don't consider a first meet to be a "date" and I have found that while first meets are rare, actual dates are nonexistant. I figure the date activity would be something to discuss if I ever get to the point of having one. | |
