cyclern,,,,,,,about the pic, its the only one of what few pick my sisiter has of me that I had a shirt on in. All pics are at the lake, and you know how guys are when it comes to summer heat and lakes, by by shirty. Otheywise I run from cameras, don't like pictures, so I have no others to share.

you're also right, I probably won't find my perfect woman on line cause she's probably out on her own boat or in her own deer stand at every free moment like I try to be,hehe.

Thank you for the review though. It was educational, I will make some changes. I don't know about changing the gun thing, if guns are a red flag, I don't need her anyhow

Thanks again, Bill

The poem sucks. And the part about puncuation stinks. The part about an easy out on the first date sounds pretty cold. We have all thought the same thing, but we don't put it in our profile. Your a good looking man. Why not smile and take off the glasses for a picture?

Many Thanks for your help on this. I have hopefully sorted the Pictures out (more to come) and adjusted the profile text, made it shorter etc.

Still not sure what to use as my headline as the there are sooooo many already in use. I need something original!!!

Anyway. Thank again!!

Good Luck to you too.

title: good, catchy, keeper…

pics: your first pic should be the best one, it should be a nice head shot, with a smile. Yours focuses on your belly and your leather jacket. Whoever cropped it, didn’t do a very good job. Nice array of photos. Pic four and five I would take out. Pic five is not very flattering, not centered, and you look angry. Different color tshirt other than black. The last 2 are very nice.

Narration: no negativity, putting things you don’t want. Only put what you want. You can later look at the interested party’s profile and decide if they are those things you don’t like, or through emails and talking if it gets that far. Too many emoticons, esp for a guy! Haha! Two or three are okay. Favorite quote – like it. First date is hilarious, can tell you are a good guy inspite of the rough look. Well my thought is sort of that of the guy with the fish. Most women who are into bikes, hunting, fishing, that sort of thing aren’t really online much. Sure there are a few. Things going for you are your young looks, your personality, you seem straight forward, and you are diverse.

Faux pas: too many emoticons, seems kinda cheesy

Conclusion: pretty good profile, not much bad here. Put up a good head shot with a smile. Take out some emoticons!

Rating: 7 out of 10

Good luck and keep fishing

title: clever, cutesy – to me means I can be a devil or an angel. Not really sure if I like it.

Pics: don’t like any of them, but the quality of pic 7 is your best. I would use that camera take a nice pic from the shoulders up with a smile, and no cat. Then you need a full body shot. Get rid of all.

Narration: here goes, needs a lot of work… get rid of everything before the word “smart” don’t need it. Take out the negativity. I wouldn’t want to date someone who admits to having a temper. Someone who puts negative stuff just doesn’t seem to have enough good to say about themselves. Sure you want to be honest, but putting all your faults down in a profile is just not they way to do it. Just list your good qualities. The rest will come out in emails, phone calls if you are an honest person and be yourself. The last paragraph really isn’t needed, it is understood. You are telling the reader that you were in a relationship that someone tried to change you. No one wants to know that. It is also sort of limiting. It sounds as though you aren’t willing to try new things. It’s negative, need to be cut. “The people who have actually read this far rock!!!!!!” there you go admitting it’s too wordy! Take all that out. What I am looking for – take that out! Just list qualities, you do know what you want, right? Take out everything from “Random things…” on down… First date – I would just put anywhere we can talk and get to know one another, with a couple ideas. Can’t imagine you getting serious replies with this profile. Last paragraph sounds so desperate, I’d definitely take that one out.A

Faux pas: listing so much negativity, it’s limiting and a turn off

Conclusion: need to cut out a lot in this profile, too long. Get better pics.

I have been on POF for about 10 months and rarely receive e-mails. If you could review my profile I would be grateful.

Thanks

Hi, I have been on PoF for a while now, and I don't get much in terms of responses from men. Could you look at my profile and let me know what, if anything, can improve it, or if, given descriptions, etc., I need to be off this site and looking elsewhere. Thanks:-)

OK, I'm game. I know I have to change my profile name but can't seem to do that without deleting the profile. I've been on here for about a year and not a single phone call let alone a date.

Do girls ever send the first message?

I'll take that challenge. I've read the 'how to's' and I know I need to change my picture.
Other than that, I think I've got a good one. What do you think?

Hello, I'm here for your evaluation. I realize my name can be generalize that I could be a drug user; hence the mushroomhead [as in magic mushrooms] but really my name is suppose to have that euphoric feel because I like to projecting a mist that can captivate people and possibly a companion; besides that uniqueness is good.

Well okay maybe I'm abit abstract but thats me and seems more I show myself the weirder people think I am. Actually I like that because I can commiserate that this site doesn't help everyone and should try someone where else to fish. There are alot of beautiful women with great minds here so how ever I choose to best express myself is the goal because I am a well like gentleman amoung my peers and family.

So I understand your here to judge based on the POF norm of desires and frogs; well I'm not here to impress everyone and be everyone buddy because thats not my style; if I can make one friend in a month here its because there is that one real person I can connect with and majority just misunderstand me.

Well I've made my own attempt to write a self help thread but I guess it wasn't interesting enough. Hence why I'm here and ready to be judge and listen to some sound advice.

Hello PG1Sailor read your profile and I thought it was an informative read. I enjoyed how you reminised because it shows how full of life you are. You have a beautiful smile and I can see how older men can be intimadated by your profile. Good job; and I would have like to knew your name.
