Reading your headline I thought maybe it should be "come on down!", It's ok could be better but not bad.

Your pictures: Big smiles, good job, You probably need to explain the friend/sister? in the one picture. Anytime the picture doesn't explain itself, it's probably good to have an explanation, that way people don't jump to wrong conclussions.

Interests: I would put what kinds of music you like, such as R&B, funk, Rock, etc. and put those in the interests area. If you have anything else you like It should also be there, put as much as you can think of that fits there.

Love at first sight, spelling... I'm... I would add a lot more to the about me section, there has to be a lot more to you.

First datte need to be filled out, show us how creative you can get, it's just another window into how you think.

I personally would get rid of 75 miles, maybe put it in the write up but it's a hard limit where it's at, if they live 76 miles away they can't contact you.

Ok your turn. First your headline, basically that's a non headline, every woman would say she is looking for that. We need something creative, something that grabs the attention and makes you want to look further, sort of like your pictures, any (or at least most I know) red blooded man would look further when they see those pictures. Some might not like what they see, but then they probably aren't the ones for you anyway. I would add a few more pictures of you dong things you like, the outdoors stuff, at least the ones you can post here without gettting in trouble, I would guess you could probably get in trouble with some pictures. (if you want I'd review those privately to let you know what I think)

Anyway enough about the pictures, Dating interests, I would expand the anything outdoors to specific things sush as camping, canoeing, or what ever the anything entails for your tastes. Let us know some real activities here instead of making us guess. People have to see things that they can connect with in order to get them off their duff and write you a letter. (They might like to connect with those pictures though, but if you tell them some real activities you might not have to wade through as much trash to find the gems out of all those responses you get just because of those pictures)

Tell us more about the country girl in the about me section, let us know what you need ,want, like, dislike, etc. So that a person can know if you are the right one instead of just wish and hope they are. You can add a whole lot more to that section. After you get the attention in the other sections you have to connect here. There just isn't enough here for them to really know you are the one. Tell us about some of that travel, the methods, and desires, and tell us more about that middle name.

One last thing, I hate "preffer not to say" answers, it seems to me like you are hiding something and I always assume the worse. I would change those, what ever you do be proud of it. As for the drug question I think that is a waste of space on the profile, I wish they would replace it with education level. Concernig drugs, most that do use them are going to answer no, so you can't trust that answer anyway. I think the POF form writers must have been on drugs.

Hey everybody lookie here, we have a daily winner

No reason to be scared, we are here to help, take everything we say with a grain of salt, nobody makes me the expert, just giving my oppinion.

First I like your name, that says a lot about you to be able to use a name like that.

Good headline, it's different enough to make you look onward.

I like your pictures, you've got the reqesite head shot and full body (with humor thrown in, well almost full) and then others to help explain who you are. Good job. Others take note, this is what were are talking about. I know the devil made you do it.

Dating interests: I think you could probably add a few more specifics here, put anything that you like to do here, people search for words of things they like, the more you have the more chances they will find you.

About me: An open book (sp) another one a spell checker might not find. (and some of you people thought I didn't read this stuff) I pull up my socks too. I also have bite marks on my left thumb from a squirrel, I didn't know you weren't supposed to pick those guys up.

I don't agree with the one year rule, that seems a long long time. But that's me, if it's what you beleive that's great to have it there. I also don't agree totally with the chat-a-holic, people need there friends, a healthy relationship has people on the outside of both sexes. You might consider these and talk with other people you respect about these ideas.

Overall a great job, basically I know enough about you to give social advice. That's very uncommon.

Very good, maybe a little overboard on the interests but more is probably better than less.

The headline is much better,

In the about me: and to rule the world (wrong word)... and there is an Ive that needs to be an I've.

I think you've got a winner, lots of humor, and people should have a good idea who you are. It keeps you reading right to the end to see what else you can come up with.

You might explain a couple of the pics, the beard and the kid pic. Personally I wouldn't have the finger one but that's just me. Depends who you are after, many might find that offensive, one of the keys to a profile is not to offend anyone that might be a match, somebody might otherwise be perfect and that one thing nixes it. I think most people read the profiles with a negative twist they start every profile with positive hopes (after all they clicked on your profile, they must think this might finally be the one) and look for the deal breaker, they find something and move on to the next one.

For me it's picture or headline that initially catches my attention, then I scan smoking, age and wanting kids, after that I look at the interests if I find something there, I'll then read the profile. The preliminary scan takes about 4 seconds. Make it or break it in 4 seconds.

db197: I wanted to say a few more things but ran out of time on the edit.

Thinking myself to be somewhat of a normal person (that would be Abby Normal ), I would imagine many people search this way, the 4 second scan. They just have different things that they scan for. So the pics, headline, answers to the first questions, and interests are extremely important. Then you need the writeup to really connect and reel them in.

I also think you should change the "preffer not to say" answer on smoking, with this negative search style that people might use they will read what ever they don't want into that answer. Either you smoke, don't smoke, or are trying to quit. Prefer not to say, is yes but not proud of it, or your trying to hide something. Your asking them to risk sending you an email and possibly open themselves up to rejection, there can't be any negatives.

Overall score

LiL Munkie: Your turn, first thing I saw is the pictures, not sure if you have a tongue peircing or not, might want to explain that. This pictures are ok, they tell a story about you but a few paragraphs may be unreadable. A few more of you doing things you like and less face pictures would be good. Once we see your face once or twice that should be enough unless the other face pictures tell us something different about you.

The next thing I saw is your interests, you can probably expand that area a little bit more, tell what kind of movies you like, one of your pictures seems to be taken from a boat windsheild, does that mean you like boating too, that should be in the interests if so. Everything you like should be there. The more you have the better chance the right one will find you.

Now your about me section, I see im many times should be I'm and I imagine verdan should be Verdan. There really is very little specificly about you here, most of what you've written could be writen by anybody on here. We need to know what makes you different, surely there is lots of stuff. Why munkie??? start with that, I'm sure there is a story. Tell us who you are, the good stuff, the stuff that makes you, you. Run your writeup through a spell checker, everybody can appear a little smarter on here and it wouldn't hurt anyone of us.

Looks pretty good, I'm starting to wonder if they are teaching you younger people how to use the shift key, once again multiple i's that should be I. First word of a sentence should be capitalized. I would get rid on one of the leaning on the car pictures, one is plenty the other tells nothing new, get another picture that describes something else about you. You might tell a little more about where and how you like to travel. You can always tell more about yourself and make it better.

Not bad, I would have some explanations of the outdoor activities that you like and also have a full body picture. 4 pictures of your face aren't neccessary. The writeup is a little disjointed, we get the idea that you're creative, that's good. I like the rose in the dating interest but it really doesn't tell us much about who you area or what you would like to do. I would say leave it but then add a sentence under it giving us more creativity on a first date.
