| A Review
Posted: 4/28/2005 11:28:22 PM | @susan and Jack: post # 3 :How solid are you on the "separated" status? Lots and lots of people shy away from this type status. Change it to divorced or simply single
I agree people don't like separated, but if that's what you are it's what you are. A spade has to be called a spade. | |

I dont have many pics of myself without my hat so threw those on there so ppl could see that I do actually have hair under the hat ! lol

Posted: 4/29/2005 4:37:40 AM | | @country: Concering the pics, I agree with Jack, I'd get rid of the two black and white ones and the last one, find one's where your smiling. When your trying to decide on photos, look at each with this in mind. Try to keep the ones with great smiles and then ask "What does this one add, what does it tell that the others don't?" Those three only tell me; 1st BW that there was something in the background you didn't want us to see (whited out), 2 BW I thinking about something, but it's not similing, Last pic says to me I've got a sore on the inside of my mouth. Sorry my oppinion, everybody entitled to one. Feel free to rip me a new one, just be gentle. The pictures are the first things everybody looks at. I'll be honest, I looked at you before this, and your pics didin't stop me from reading on, I stopped when I got to smoking, and not wanting kids, but If I was close or ever am, I'd dance with ya. | |

| Hellion Review, take 2!
Posted: 4/29/2005 5:46:25 AM | Hellion, part 2
Dddduuuuddddeeeeee
SCORE!
Alright, your profile is now getting somewhere. But serious, about your pics.... lose the one where you have a bandana on yoru head. I know ya wanna try to convey some cool musician kind of guy, but it may also appear just a bit creepy!
I think I like the lighted guitar strings pics, kinda wickedly cool.
Not sure about the other pic, your Nike tee pic. Kinda dark, let it go.
Mucho improved "Dating Interests", good job there!
"About me", pared down, lean and mean and sunnuvagun, 'ol boys got a good sense of humor too! "... just quote ABBA?" ha ha
Oh yeah, whats the deal with the "relocation" bit? Leave it off, seems a bit "ready to shoot the gun without loading the bullets". Lose it.
The rest, in the words of 'ol Monty Burns, "eeeexxxccceeeellllllleeennntttt" | |

| HHLLKKII review
Posted: 4/29/2005 5:57:51 AM | HHLLKKII
are are you you a a stutterer? Whats with the SN? lol, I kid
Headline "Special Lady Needed"
Lose it. Come on guy, come up with something original and definitely eye catching. What would catch YOUR eyes in a headline?
"Dating Interests"
"Biking", "Fishing" and "Dancing".
The old reliables. Look at every other profile, you will find 2 of these three standards in one form or fashion. Either get more detail (perhaps deep sea fishing versus fresh water?, what kind of dancing? Salsa? Ballroom? lol) or lose 'em and come up with some new stuff.
Remember, try to be unique. There has got to be a few things you like to do that the majority of folks don't. And list a lot of things. Try for like 8 or 10 things.
Like to cook? DONT PUT COOKING. Put what you like to cook (Italian, seafood, bacon in the nude.... whatever!). You get the idea
"About me"
I am not too sure about all this "...dependable, high morals kind of guy, educated, with a great sense of humor". Look snice on paper, but jazz it up some. You think you have a sense of humor? Really? Then show it off more in this profile! Go ahead, don't be scared. Just let 'er loose!!
"Converse on a number of topics"??? That sounds forces, too uppity. Can you "dumb it down" a smidge? "I like to talk about about a wide range of things, from current events to contemplating my big toe and its place in the universe". Ha ha, SOMETHING.
Good that you went more into detail about your dancing and fishing likes from your interests. Good way to go! Good job!
Ok ok, enough of the "good" now for the bad. Ok ok, not so bad really.
Spell out a little more about you. Keep positive, and shy away from indicating what it is you do not want or what you do not want in a woman.
Watch the spelling too ("Offence" should be spelled "Offense", however if you were European, I think it would be spelled correctly. Anyone from Europe who can confirm?)
".... old time ladies..." dude, drop that immediately and without hesitation. ha ha, I am unsure if many will admit their "old time".
Fairly good ending in the "First Date" area, so ya done well for yourself. | |

| JBro/TheGifted One review (part 2, technically)
Posted: 4/29/2005 9:03:23 AM | Hey "Bro", now "Gifted One"
"The Gifted One" eh? ha ha, uuummm, ok.
Headline, "Great catch 4 the right girl", ok, thats getting on the road toward soriginality. So I can't really knock it, but would push really really hard to change it and keep tryin'
Why not call yourself the "big catch" to go with your headline? ha ha, that would work pretty well.
Or "the big load, looking for a place to..." ummm, never mind! lol
I think it would be great to put within your profile the reason to your baldness. ha ha, many will find it amusing and you may actually get way more responses! Plus your blunt honesty can only favor you further!
MUCH Better "Dating Interests", a good range and variety. Good work!
In your "About me", well, suck-a-roo!
More about you, less of what you seek.
More of what you're like, less of what you don't want from another.
Thought you were gonna show some of that sense of humor of yours?
Good "First date" ramblings, just watch the spellin'
"restraunt" should be "restaurant"
"Candle Light Baths..." should probably be "Candle lit baths..."
Improved.... but still need some tweaks!

| Swexxi review
Posted: 4/29/2005 9:13:28 AM | Ms. Swexxi thang,
Ok folks, time for a slight confession. I probably should remove myself from reviewing this one 'cuz I know her somewhat. But being that this is my thread and therefore my kingdom.... ha ha, anything goes that I allow!
Ok ok, so here goes......
Your headline.... not really original. Get more creative. Remember... you're trying to catch some peoples attention. To catch their eye. You need to go that extra yard to do just that.
"Down to Earth country girl..." just not gonna cut it. Besides, don't lie to the people, I know you aren't all that nice and angelic. ha ha, KIDDING, just kidding people!
Your picture: Nice, need more.Good smile and good pose though. Sweet.
"About me":
LOSE "I am looking for my soul mate; of course I think we all hope and dream that there is such a thing. I would love to have a honest,faithful man with a good sense of humor that loves me for me. Romantic would be a bonus. :) "
Get rid of it, cut it right on out. No room at 'da Inn for that.
This is ABOUT YOU, not him or what you seek. Well, not the first setence into it anyways.
Couldn't help but to notice you listed not a single interest. You have no interest or none you wish to share? Nothing you wish to show of yourself where people can get a better idea of who you are and if they want to even bother e-mailing you??????? Try it, what do you have to lose? Might I suggest shoot for 8 to 10 interests. The more (And uniquely you) the better.
Also, be sure to focus more on you and what you are like and what you seek, less of what you dont like or what you do not seek. Keep positive, lose the negative stuff.
"First Date"
KEEP IT SIMPLE
"A nice dinner , plesant conversation and, if the chemistry is there, possibly a night cap."
Only problem is it is not very unique or original. But hey, if thats the way you want to go, go with it. | |

| "jheldatksuedu" review
Posted: 4/29/2005 9:39:26 AM | "jheldatksuedu"
What the flippity flop is that? I am sure you will 'splain yourself, how 'bout in your profile?
I bet it has something to do with them mountains in the background of your pic too, eh?
Your headline, "Honest Outdoorsy Intelligent Wants Kids"
nnnoooooo, l-o-s-e it
Why?
Every guy with a profile is honest, outdoorsy (the staple word used is "camping") and either thinks he's intelligent and or wants kids.
How about "Adventurous spirit seeks adventurous soul" or something like that.
Needs work. Just be creative. You are trying to catch someones eye with just a coupld of words. You can do it! Just think.
Your Pictures:
Your primary pic at first glance looks like you are playing golf on top of a mountain. THAT is original!
But closer look, it ain't so. I am not too crazy about the pic with regards to you because the lighting sucks. Can't see your face. The mountains behind ya are great, but this isn't 'bout mountains.
The second pic is of you standing with a lady and distant from the camera. Never include a picture of you with more than 1, you, in the picture. Plus the distance thing is a problem too.
My suggestion: Lose the mountain top pic, and the pic of you and the lady in the field, as well as you and the boat and gas cans as well as you in front of some row boats somewhere.
They are too distant, lighting sucks or both.
Like the one in front of a plane (would also suggest you own it.... well do ya?)
on the boat in your rain gear, and the one with you standing holding, I am guessing, a cup.
Great selection of "Dating Interests", good job on that!!
Now about your profile:
You wrote a lot, this is a good thing sometimes. But it depends on what you write within is where it pays off or not. So let's break it apart a little and take a looksie.
Ya'll better pull up a chair and get comfy.......
Start your profile off with the "thanks for looking at my (profile)"
Lose "Ad". Never use the word "ad". Always replace it with profile. Just an FYI.
The first paragraph mentions an awful lot of what youdo not seek or what you do not want. Lose it.
Remain focused on you, what you do want and what you are like, do not focus on those negatives, what you don't want or not looking for.
Seriously, anyone dishonest enough to be a mind gamer will not be honest enough to avoid someones profile simply because they say they don't want to be around people who play mind games. It's asking someone dishonest to be honest for your sake. Not gonna happen my friend.
Why address "relocation"? And in your first paragraph too? Lose it.
Next Paragraph starts, "I've got here,..."
Lose it. Makes no sense. Why not keep it simple. "I have a good job with lots of flexibility so that I may enjoy the many things I like to do outdoors, such as....."
A lot of this whole profile could be saved for your first contact or reply to first contact e-mail.Your hunting skills, your research project, and so forth and so on.
You have a grand selection of hobbies, but you really don't have to list em all. Save something for the second letter! ha ha.
This might sound odd, but you told little about yourself and what you believe in. We got a good sense you may be shy and you like humor and have a buttload of hobbies.
But how do you feel about honesty? Or some lifes lessons learned? Or the value of friends versus family?
Scale it back some, it will appear overwhelming if not outright dauting to be reading all o fthis. It will appear you've given all about youa way, whats the use of e-mailing you??
Keep a lot of this to yourself. Summarize.
Your "First date", along the lines of keeping it simple, use
"Meet for a meal or ice cream, go dancing or something else fun", lose everything else.
Just my thoughts | |

| jheldatksuedu review
Posted: 4/29/2005 10:50:34 AM | Thanks Jack, I'll work on some of those areas. I don't agree 100% Here are some of my rebutals.
Not every guy wants kids, and having kids is number 1 in my book so I won't loose the words "wants kids", that got to be right up front. Outdoorsy or something like that has to stay too, that's me to a T in one word.
Honest, I'll agree I can loose that. I'll work on it.
My first picture is about the mountains, I'm not looking for somebody that likes they way I look; I'm looking for somebody that wants to be in the mountains with me. Do the things I like. I wish it showed my face better but there's a contrast problem, show the face loose the mountains. To me the mountains are what's important. Same thing about the other pictures it is about the boat, the bike and the gas cans, and the plane it's the "Global Flyer," you know round the world non stop, I was there kind of thing. I'm looking for somebody else that would like to do that kind of stuff.
The pic with the lady is about where I live, people think they know Kansas, they don't, that's my second biggest matching problem, living in Kansas and people’s idea of what that means. Hopefully that pic tells them something about where I live. I wish the gal (old girl friend) was snuggled a little bit closer or not there at all, but the pic is about the hills not about the gal and me.
Me and the cup shows that I don't have a beer gut, I think that's important.
I'd like other opinions on these, so let's hear it, speak up.
Why address "relocation"? Because I can't find anybody that wants to live in God forsaken Kansas, I've been at this for 5 years and contacted 1000's and it's just not working. I continually get WOW, too bad you aren’t closer and younger. It's absolutely beautiful here, but people think it's a waste land between Missouri and Colorado.
As for too much, save till first email, I'd rather they learn about me right up front, If I'm not the one, I want them to read it and then go on, I don't want to waste their time and mine with a first email. | |

"We can say we met at the grocerys tore"
Wah huuuhhh?
Ok, being that you are rather new to all this, I am gonna take your hand can take ya through it all. Better fasten your britchies though, it's gonna be a crash coarse! ha ha
Your headline. This little thing is to catch peoples attention. To catch their eye and possibly their imagination. Its gotta be something original.
Your line is somewhat original, I'll give ya that. But I'd think of something else, see whatcha can come up with.
About your pics, You have two, maybe three remotely salvagable. Can you guess which? lol
Seriously, drop the flower picture and maybe drop the one with the dogs. The other three are alright. Do you have any others that flash that thousand watt smile??? A definite keeper!
"Dating Interests":
This area is really to tell more about you, what you like to do and all that. I always advise people to avoid the "industry standards" such as camping (or "outdoors"), movies, music and exercise.
These are way too vague.
So I recommend in your case to open it up a little. 'Splain yourself, elaborate some. I usually advise people to put 8 or 9 things up, and try to make a majority of them original and uniquely you. Remember, this is all about you, so let loose. Have some fun with this.
The "About me" section.
This area is to personalize a little more of the things about you. Your interests, your general personality and such. Maybe even expand and explain here some of your interests.
Always try to remain positive in thsi area and stay away from the negatives of what you don't want or what you aren't looking for. Thats a waste of your time that can be better invested telling more about you.
Sure, near the end you can put in a setence of two what you seek. Again, positive. Not none of this "not looking for head games or one night stands". Just a big 'ol waste to do that.
Your "First Date":
"Low Key", that is good. Coffee and a walk? Really? Industry standard is what this generally means to me. No imagination. I find this hard to believe.
Come on, mix it up. What would YOU really like to do on a first date? Something fun. Maybe even silly.
Go with it! Have fun with all this, k?! | |

| Multiple thoughts and remarks.....
Posted: 4/29/2005 2:54:46 PM | @ Countrylin,
You still gonna hold on to those two B&W pics aren't ya? lol. Thats your decision. You look hot, so you probably can get away with it. You do realize that those two pics are not entirely flattering, right? But thats just my opinion.
;o) I figured there were "select" times that cowboy hat came off.
@ Hellion, you are welcome and thanks again for the pic!!
@ "jheldatksuedu"
Thanks for your interesting reply and to be honest, I had a feeling thats the route you were taking. But not everyone is gonna get that and will tire by the third paragraph and just stop. Its a flip of the coin I suppose. More power to ya buddy, I get what you mean and thats just as cool.
@ Dee38, you are welcome. Just 'spressing my opinion and hope you take what you see is a best fit and run with it.
Did I miss anybody?
b0nc3, Heartsnflowers & Loupdebois & Ladyge "WTF" diva, you guys are next, stay tuned! | |

Whats the SN mean?
Your headline, "just looking to expand my network"
THIS is what you hope to catch peoples attention with? This is what you hope to snag someones attention long enough to read on and scroll down?
Come on guy, you can do better than that. I bet you even have a sense of humor. Is it a lethal weapon? 'Fraid to use it?
Break the rules dude and let 'er loose. Have fun with all this!
Your headline, along with your profile needs to be unique. Original and it doesn't hurt to be funny either! Chicks dig that, man!
Ok ok, about your pics:
Your main one.... uuummm, where were you at and what was going on when that bad boy was snapped. Get your money back, it's kinda weird.
You look ok and all, its just some funky half look you have in the pic that is half funny and half... well, weird.
Pics on the 4 wheelers are good, but its too distant and can't see your face. Do you have any other pics to use? Consider it, thats all I am saying. In the meantime, lose the 4 wheeler pics, keep your primary (until you get another... better pic). Good smile from what the pic shows, find another pic of you where you are smiling.
"Dating Interests"
Lose "Cooking" & "Movies"
Too standard (every other profile has the same exact thing in this regard).
The rest looks good. Original for the most part and uniquely you.
"About me"
"Jeez umm like..."
This is how you start?
Lose it.
You started poorly with that, but rebounded with you explain more about yourself and what you like. Good rebound! Just lose the first three words would ya?!
Lose the "make fun of stupid people" remark. Many will not take that kindly, even if its a joke. You are trying to make a good first impression here.
Focus more on you, your strengths, interests and who you are as in your attitude and such. Focus way less on what you do not want, what you do not seek. Stay away from negativity.
You spend nearly two paragraphs writing about who you seek and less about you and why those type people would be attracted to you. Something to think about there dude!
"First Date", yeah ok, I get it. But in the event someone actually wants to get 'ta talking to you and wants a date, what is it you would do with her on the first date.
Just a few thoughts for ya | |
