Posted: 2/21/2008 5:40:33 PM | 1Brendan: If it isn't Moby with a monkey on his head! Welcome to POF. There's not much to say about your profile, you explain yourself very well and the pictures seem to suit who you are (although the caption "me telling a funny story to my friends" sets off a small "pretentious" alarm). My only question mark is about what you're looking for; you list "hang out," but there are a few clues (such as your headline) that suggest you want more than a female beer-drinking partner. You might want to change "hang out" to something else, or better explain in your essays what you want, because you do a great job of telling us who you are and what kind of girl you like, but it's a mystery what you plan to do once you find her.
adelphi: Here we have another case where the pictures and essays seem like two different people; when I look at the pictures, I think "tough guy with strange hair." But the essays say "thoughtful metrosexual with strange hair." I think it's good to show different sides of yourself, but you might want to add a pic or two that suggest "intelligent" or "zen," because pics with your shirt off and working on an engine don't quite convey the Je ne sais quoi!
About the hair thing... my very first impression of your lead picture was that you're wearing someone else's toupe; after looking at the other pics, I'm no longer sure it's a toupe, but the hair style still feels like it belongs on someone else. I'm not stylist or fashion critic and if any women want to chime in on this they're welcome to, but something about it just looks off. Have you had the same hair style for more than ten years? Maybe it worked better at an earlier age. If it is your hair, you are blessed indeed, but a trip to a hair salon and a cute sylist might net you a more appropriate do. | |

Posted: 2/21/2008 11:37:43 PM | Photozilla: I like it all except your last line, your "edit." I understand the impulse to use your profile to comment on POF experiences, but nine times out of ten it just results in some variation of "you're all a bunch of useless retards," which, no matter how you word it, rarely endears you to anyone.
Tempting as it is to "fire back" at all the freaks and weridos, it's important to maintain our optimism and keep our profiles upbeat, positive and hopeful; save the rants when for when you share war stories with your next date! | |

looshoo~ No one talks as much as you. Get THAT straight. I'm not haha-ing...I'm not LOL-ing. Im.....Mojo-ing. hehehe Yeah wolfe.....stay away from all things smiley.
Do you KNOW how hard it is to not use an anagram right now? Grrrrr... 24 years of habit is hard to break you know... Oh and BTW, I know MANY people that talk WAY more than I do and make way less sense too!!! (snicker) Ok, ok, maybe not MUCH less sense but still...
You're starting to know me too damned well m'dear... | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 2:33:56 AM | | Ok Mojo, I've completely reworked it, changed it around and on and on and on... Care to take another crack at it? Yeah I know I'm probably setting myself up for more abuse and no, I still haven't put a close up full-body shot yet but I'll get there. Other than that though its pretty completely different. | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 3:08:09 PM | LittleYellowTags: Ladies and gentlemen, here we have yet another fine example of a perfect profile, with absolutely nothing to criticize.
Nah, just kidding - but I had you for a minute, didn't I! Lucky for you I've not in a particularly vengeful mood...
Your first picture is the only one worth keeping, and I mean that in the sense that I'd rather keep a sofa with a few holes in in than one covered in fleas and poo. It gets the point across, but I'm sure you can do better. The others just don't help.
I like your friendly writing style and sense of humor, but you are a bit of a dichotomy and, while I think it's great for people to have different shades of personality, some of what you've chosen to display here may not be the best choices for a dating profile.
So there I was...punching this goat in the face... Sure, this might be a funny, ironic way to start a profile, but there will be plenty of people who don't see the humor in this, not to mention other goats. Dark humor works best after people know you better. I'd say the same holds true for your line about "sucking all the blood out of your veins."
Now onto the big one... while I applaud and appreciate your work in bringing more awareness to and fighting sexual offenses, a profile filled with references to rape and sex offenders is NOT the way to a woman's favorite's list. Yes, I know, "but I'm showing how I hate these things and fight for women," and yes, that's great, but just remember, when someone just SEES the word "rape" or "sex offender" it immediately triggers a very negative, sickening reaction, and it's while reading YOUR profile that someone is going to have this reaction. It's just a bad association. Save your heroic efforts for after someone has gotten to know you better.
Also consider the minor point that you go to great lengths in your profile to explain and demonstrate how you're more unique than most guys, but your very first suggestion for the "first date" is coffee. Just skip that one.
So, essentially, you have a very good profile and you sound like a smart, creative and offbeat guy, I would just work on getting better pictures and toning down the rape, blood and goat-punching. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 12:22:26 AM | JAM7374: Are you allergic to cameras? Get a little closer! It won't bite. Are they nuclear powered in Canada? If not, step closer and get at least ONE close up shot of yourself, it's hard for anyone to really get an idea of what you look like. And come on, do I really need to tell you that your main photo should just be of you? On the other hand, great shot of your bike. If only this place was called Plenty Of Motorcycles, you'd be set.
For "Profession," you've listed professional. Professional what? Monkey? Couch-surfer? Professionally unemployed? If you leave that one vague people are going to assume the worst, so either be honest with us about what you do or think of a more creative way to describe a job you may not be proud of.
You're a good writer and well-spoken, so your essays are going to do most of the selling. The only thing I would do is cut down on the nice-guy and chivalry talk; it's fine to tell us those aspects of your personality, but let's dump the commentary about finishing last and being called old-fashioned; these are tired cliches and in a subtle way you are bringing negativity into your own description. And don't refer to your own first date idea as "cliche and old," women want their guys to be confident! Besides, talking over dinner is not a cliche, it's as American as - oops, you're in Canada. Never mind.
LadyMV: Nice pictures, but please refer to my previous advice about listing "average" and not posting a more "complete" picture - you do so at your own risk!
I like all kinds of music, except rap... welcome to the club. Now how about telling us what you DO like? Same goes for your taste in books. I chose "dating" as what I'm here for but I'm also open to the possibility of a long term relationship.. So which is it, do you want a casual relationship or long term? If you want long-term, say it up front, because someone might glance at your profile, see "dating" and think "oh, she doesn't want anything serious, next!" Overall, you've got a good start, but you may want to tell us a few more things about yourself that make you unique. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 8:07:21 AM | Alephi. Yeah, I should point out that the engine was tuned and built by me and the vehicle finished 4th in the world rally championship in Dubai about 4 years ago. It's quite a Zen thing in a way. Perhaps it should have been a motorcycle.
Oh it's my hair alright, there is no style, that's how I look first thing in the morning. And as for being a contradiction, well yes, I am and the text says it too. Point made about the style though. And I'll see if I can dig up a pic or two showing my softer side, most of them contain my kids though. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 10:58:54 AM | Thanks for the reply Mojo. I will make some changes. One question though how would I go a about describing a job which requires a degree of not so much secrecy but just not advertising it to the general public. The job I do requires secret clearance and involves a very high level of security both on the job and off.
Input on that question from anyone would be helpful. | |

| Think you can take me?
Posted: 2/24/2008 11:41:38 AM | Hi Mojo,
Can you work your magic on my profile and tell me what you think? I would say please, but I take it I'm not going to like what you have to say, so forget it. Just get it over with will ya.
H.
EDIT - I'll get some proper pictures as soon as I can. This will have to do for now. | |
|
| Think you can take me?
Posted: 2/25/2008 7:03:41 AM | Thanks for the advice...that wasn't as painful as I was afraid it would be
Hopefully I'll get a "See, I'm not fat" picture to post soon. | |
|

Posted: 2/25/2008 6:42:54 PM | Hey Mojo, could you please review my profile? I am working on getting more pictures. Any help and/or advice, greatly appreciated. :)

Posted: 2/26/2008 1:15:18 AM | Thoughtform: I think you need a liitle more "movie star" and a little less "undertaker" in your pictures. Between the flat lighting and your expressionless poses, these photos look more like they belong in an article about sleep deprivation than a dating website. Smile! Brood! Go outside! Live a little and let's get some pictures with a pulse.
I think your essay is pretty decent, it gets the point across fairly well. But your headline says "looking for new friends" and your profile lists "dating," so please jump off the fence and land on one side, m'kay? And congratulations for being the first person ever to actually look thinner in his pictures than what you have listed under "body style!" If you're really "a few extra pounds," I don't know where you're hiding it. Oh wait... ok, on second thought, I don't want to know! But the ladies might ;-)
angel2n: Contact lenses? A lost kitten? Aliens? Your headline says "looking for something" but I'm not sure what. How about something a little more catchy, like "Looking for love"or "looking for you" or even "looking for a headline!"
Your first picture is very nice, but the other two take a sharp nosedive into the firey pit called "delete them now." Have a friend with a camera come over and take a slew of pictures, you might get a few good ones out of it.
Your essay is good, but a few parts leap out and slap the reader upside the head. I also believe if things are not working it's time to end. I have been married twice and divorce twice. That seems to bother some people... Hello, TMI! Stuff this sentence straight back into the baggage from whence it came, ok? This is info people can find out about later. Too much of anything could be dangerous in the wrong hands... I'm not sure what you mean by this, but some people might interpret it as... well, as weird. Less weird is always good.
To Woman: Very nice! My inherent desire to poke fun and be sassy is sorely disappointed. The only advice I can offer is take one of the many paragraphs in which you talk about yourself and magically transform it into one which describes the person you're looking for. | |
