| A Review
Posted: 4/26/2005 10:12:14 AM | Lilsweetheart
Well, ain't you quite the fetching lovely from up north. Wwwaayyy North! lol
Your pics were nice, the main one (multi-faced) to be honest I think I liked the one within that pic of your smiling the best. Good pictures all the same!
Your interests:
Camping- everybody and their mother likes camping. Not original, put something else up or at the very least a part of camping you like (fishing? hiking perhaps?)
Reading? What exactly?
To the "About me" section.
Seems kinda rushed and everything squeezed in to one paragraph and away it goes.
Space it out, make some nice, "purty" looking sentences.
Don't repeat that which you already indicated in your "interests".
Refrain from going for the negatives, of what you do not look for or seek. As you will see from previous postings, do you really believe those who play games, looking for a one night stand, liars and such are actually going to admit it much less use reasoning and not reply to you?
Put more of things about you and what you want, less of what you do not want (another recurring theme in this thread).
Your "first date" answer is quite vague. Why not put something down there that you'd actually like to do on a first date. It can be general, like go out for coffee, or play bingo or something. ha ha. Just throw something out there that will give someone an idea of what you would like. Guys need some help with a first date like that. It can't hurt! | |

Posted: 4/26/2005 10:14:34 AM | Well then Spankie, ya did good. If you are pleased with it, then go with it.
Does your picture change as often as the voices in your head? lol
Or as often as you may change your mind?
I still vote for the third pic as my favorite!! A smile and a tease to see 'da puppies, it's nearly a perfect picture! But thats just my opinion! | |

What an unusual SN you chose, but hey. Whatever floats your boat.
You rheadline, is that what you really want to use to catch someones attention? YOur imperfections?
Pictures: The pictures are ok. I presume the first picture is that of you and your kid, yes? I am not very fond of folks who put their kids pictures out. Seems wrong to me. Plus in today's world? Two words for ya.... Michael Jackson! lol
Do you not have any pictures where you are smiling (cute smile) but alone in the picture??
I couldn't help but notice that you haven't a single "interest" listed. Does this mean you have no interests? This in turn would mean you are not interesting enough to send an e-mail.
Make you a list of things you like to do. Hobbies and such. Try for some original stuff other than just "camping", "Spending time with my child", and "reading". Its been said to death. Try to be original and creative.
So what about you? Put more about yourself, less about what you are looking for.
You think of yourself as witty? Show some o fthat in your profile. Tell a short joke, make a silly comment. Express yourself to show yourself.
"First date":
Why not just put in a simple sentence of something you'd like to go out and do. Dinner and a movie, skating at the local rink, I dunno. Whatever. Just a simple sentence, no biggie.
See? That didn't hurt. I am only offering my opinion. Take from it what you will. Have fun | |

Posted: 4/26/2005 8:48:04 PM | Hey all,
I'm kinda new here so I've just been going over most of the forums. After reading this thread, I must say I'm quite impressed; people are very open and there's *gasp* tons of constructive critisism. I'm glad I stumbled on to this place, I'm sure I'll enjoy it much more than the other sites ive bounced around on recently.
Anyway, thats my two cents for now.
(don't fret, the pictures will be up soon...) | |

| Smiley Review
Posted: 4/27/2005 4:39:15 AM | Hi ya Smiley,
So s I look through your profile, I see pictures. Nice pictures. Personally, I'd like to see your primary picture as the one with your head on your arm. Thats the best of the bunch... unless you have more! The other pictures, no smile and/or the lighting sucks. Lose 'em!
Would it rrreeeaaaallllyyyyy kill ya to put up more interests than "looking for friends and maybe it can grow"? How would someone know to be your friend, you have shared nothing as to what you like.
Enjoy reading? Put it in there!
Golf? Put it in there!
Drinking? Bar Hopping? Dancing? Put 'em in there!
"About me":
More more more more more.
More about you, m,ore about what you are like, more of what you do to have fun, and please do not put in what kinds of friends or people you do not wish to be around.
Lastly, change your headline, too "ordinary". Use your sense of humor, that creative streak in you. Go ahead, let loose!!!! | |

| This is a great thread
Posted: 4/27/2005 4:40:16 AM | Yo Semper,
Welcome to the snake pit... er um I mean the forums and the group as a whole. Nice bunch of cracked eggs here for the most part.
Have fun with it all!! | |

To start,
Near perfect picture!!!!! Great smile, excellent lighting and quite a fetching face!!
Your headline, needs more originality. You strike me as someone that would be fun and funny as hell. So use some of that in your headline!
You have no interested listed whatsoever, whats the deal? Are you not interested in anything? Sure, you listed stuff in the "about me" section, but put something in the "interest" section to get people to look further past your pic.
See previous posts I've made to others for some ideas.
"About me":
Nice, but I'd cut out entirely those things you are not looking for, of those things you are tired of. Put way more of things about you. Convey that certain attitude about yourself in this area and lighten up some. Have fun with it!!
"First Date"
I get the feel you are indifferent as much as you are flexible.
My suggestion?
Keep: "I'm up for pretty much anything. As long as I'm having a good time, I don't care what we are doing." and leave it at that. | |

Jeez, seems a bit serious of an SN not to mention a picture. You giving someone the evil eye off camera or something? Lose the picture, you gotta have something better!
You have an attractive face, I am sure it'll be 100 times better WITH A SMILE!!
Your interests, nice selection.Maybe add one or two more (I am all for the 9 interests rule). Try to have a minimum of 9 different and unique interests.
In the "About me" section, stray away from those types of people you do not wish to associate with, as you seemed to have nicely.
Good start to your profile too, I liked it. I am a regular smart -n- funny guy anyways, soooo! ha ha ha
You definitely wanted to convey what you were looking for, but didn't convey much of who you are, what you like. How about expanding more on that AND to start this section with things about you. Work in what you're looking for in your second paragraph in this section.
Your "First Date" is nice if not vague. Care to mention something specific you might like? Give the guys a clue, eh? | |

| Bucky's review
Posted: 4/27/2005 5:04:11 AM | Yo Bucky,
"A mixed bag" is your headline..... why? Whats it mean? Can you come up with something else original?
Your dating interests are ok, maybe add one or two more.
"About me" section, pretty good. You start off telling some good things 'bout yourself, the ladies will appreciate that. But to be honest, if you look at other guys profiles, you might see a pattern between yours and theirs. I would re-write only the first two lines. Get more creative and original. It is a given youhave to be creative if you are a writer of music!
"I seem to have a pretty good sense of humor"
Dude, You are wallowing here. Lose the "Seem to".
You don't like dance clubs but you enjoy bars with live music?
Lose it. Why not just say you like to be in places with live music. Just keep it simple that way and stay away from things you don't want or like. Focus more on what you do want and like. Ya know?
Lose the "However, if given the choice, I'd rather just hang out at home", well lose the "However, if given the choice..." part. You come across a little as tentative, but also wishy washy. You dont wanna come across as a John Kerry wannabe! Take a stand, make a choice, put forth a decision.
"I enjoy hanging out with family and friends, shooting pool or playing cards too".
Lose "My family means the most to me and I hope to have one of my own one day"
Keep " Family is important to me"
Good timing where near the end of this section you talk about what you seek.
Lose the "looks aren't important" part, especially when you follow it in the same sentence of the types of girls you find attractive and not attractive. Again, either or. Take a stand and put forth ONE idea. Stop trying to play both sides of the fence.
"First Date:
"I like to be outdoors when the weather is nice, so maybe a ride on the 4-wheeler trails behind my house. Or perhaps going to feed the ducks at the park.
Lose "...so maybe a ride on the 4-wheeler trails behind my house. Or perhaps"
God please lose the "perhap"
Whats wrong with simply stating "hit the park, have a nice picnic and feed the ducks on a nice summers day weekend" or something like that. | |

| Countrylin69athm review
Posted: 4/27/2005 5:20:46 AM | Countrylin,
Good headline, I like it. Good job
Your pics, weeellllllll
I like your primary one, with you looking over your shoulder and smiling. Good, very good!
But you have two others that look like you were posing or otherwaise paid for em. I'd say between the two, use the one with your arms in the picture. Both, by the way, you are not smiling and look a little glum.
You don't take your hat off often do ya? Betcha there are only a few occassions when you do!;o) lol
Your "Interests"
Not bad, I'd add a few to em though. For the most part what you have listed is pretty much a "standard" most girls on POF have. Dancing, walks and dinner. Be more original. Come on, you can do it. I'll betcha a beer (as if I'll ever find my way to BC... ha ha)
In your "About me", you started off good. Good lists of what you like to do.
I'd suggest leaving off the part about your really long blonde hair. GUys have great imaginations, and we can see from your pictures.
Leave on the part about your piercings and tatts.
You claim to have a good sense of humor, so does everyone else. Get creative. Figure a better way to put it or say something totally different. Maybe you're a rocket scientists.
Speaking of work, what exactly is a "sign writer"??
Please please please, as I have posted in other reviews, lose the "NOT" things.
What you are NOT, what you are NOT looking for, etc etc. List more of yourself, you did a fine job up to the point of a one night stand.
And near the end of your profile, you got more bold and listed a lot of what you seke in a person. A well maintained guy who is physically appealing to you. Well now, there's a surprise. Again, can you make this a wee bit more original? Look at the profiles of the ladies at POF. You will see this same (tired) line time and time again. Come on, spice it up some. Get creative!
"Tall dark and Handsome", zzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Must have a great sense of humor".... OMG zzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Stable Job/career", zzzzz (this one always bugs me simply because it conveys (whether true or not) you want to be sure the guy is financially secure, as in its a basis for consideration. It also is, in other words, a sign of a gold digger. Lose the thing about career altogether, it sucks and is a buz word for us guys to either approach with caution and hands graipped firmly around wallet, or not to at all.
Your "First Date"
(Keep it simple)
"well... nothing like meeting for a drink (bottle of bud pls) and me kickin yer butt in a game of pool now is there ? lol :).... first meeting should be short and sweet"
Lose the rest or move it into the "about me" section. | |

Posted: 4/27/2005 7:20:45 AM | Honestly Jack..... I didn't think it would matter. I feel that whether my profile is s**t or not... I may as well play with it.
I mean I've given up on the whole "fishing" thing, especially on here. I'm here mainly for the forums.
But sheesh. Anyways.. I may as well go back to how it was when you first gave your constructive criticism... obviously it was better then, than it is now. | |

well... yeah it was. You can tell from your tone in yoru whole profile you've given up. Yup, sure 'nuff.
I just 'spressed my opinion. Take from it what you will, but I didn't figure you'd go further down and go negative with it though. Jeez! | |
