I was never good at writing these kind of things, So I am asking for a review of my profile to see if there is anything that needs to be added or taken away. Any and all reviews would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You need to add more pictures; represent what you really look like. Add a nice variety, you can have up to eight.

Instead of leaving the profession blank; you need to fill that out, men want to know what you do. Also you might want to change it to dating for awhile, see if that makes a difference; if not switch it back to long~term.

Not enough interests. Add some here as these come up in searches it is to your advantage.

The about me section should consist of roughly 3 paragraphs; one about the type of woman you are, your personality and character traits. The next should be about what you enjoy doing; goals, aspirations. The last should define the type of man you're looking for; his character strengths and personality traits.

You could be more creative with the first date sction. Spark some interest from the reader here, before they exit your profile.

Good luck

I'm with losermagnet:

Definitely more pictures..but also:

perhaps adding what you do in your free time...

If you care about people so much, why is there no mention about your children?...

and quick question..why does N/A appear as an answer for a car?..

I took a gander at your profile. "Wacky moods" is a bit vague. I have a feeling you meant it in a spirit of fun, but it may also read as "psycho". I don't say that to make fun. It's just the term could scare some off. You may want to give an example or two of what you mean by "wacky".

happy !

N/A is the default.
POF recently added the car question (along with what they call "smarts," referring to education). Unless a poster goes in and X's a car box choice, it remains N/A.

Hey OP,
Here are a couple of observations....take'm or leave'm.

You look like you have a funky, fun side to you based on your appearance in the picture (I wish you were smiling). In your profile, you seem sedate, docile and not very exciting. What was something wild and out of character you have done? I am asking because your profile made me curious.

I am thinking guys might be a little taken aback with the "get lost in each other" comment. I know, I know...I did it too. Being romantic doesn't mean being needy. but these bozos can be pretty linear in their thinking!!

Good luck and hope this inspired some creativity.

Ok...I didn't notice or "feel" many changes but here are some thoughts.

You like country music and the lyrics are rich with fun and funk. Any lines particularly meaningful to you??

Also, I personally choose not to discuss much of my kids in the profile. This is a dating site. Its kind of like being married and having sex with your husband when the kids are asleep in bed with you. Anti-romantic. Save it for discussion after an email or two.

I still don't see much funky or fun. Need more bling. BTW, take my advice because I am not using it!!

You're not stuck at all. That is a great skeleton for a profile! It gives a basic indication of your character, and that's *exactly* what you need to build on. You're in just the right spot. The perfect spot. You're so very much in the right spot, you're practically spotted.

Here are some concrete examples of ways to really show your personality in your profile:



I love country music.

Be specific. Be concrete. For example: "I love country music, and can't wait for the next [insert artist] album to come out. I could dance to his/her songs all night long."



I like all kinds of movies.

For example? Also why?
"I really love action movies - all that shoot em up bang em down gets my blood thumping! I also like sad chick flicks where someone dies at the end. I'm a paradox."



I am a risk taker.

Examples?




I enjoy going out, but I am just as content staying home

This is a "non-statement" - it doesn't actually say anything. Everybody likes going out sometimes, and staying in at other times. Just like everybody likes hanging out with their friends, and everybody likes to laugh, and everybody wants someone attractive and intelligent. It doesn't set you apart from anybody else, and doesn't give any indication of your personality.

That bit about the bungee jumping - now THAT gives an indication of your personality. That's some good stuff right there. But this going out and staying in bit? Not so much.

Maybe you could change that to something like "I enjoy going out fishing and camping and jumping out of perfectly good planes [insert all the other stuff you enjoy doing outside of the house]. But at the end of the day, I like to come home and just snuggle up into the couch and watch the latest CSI [or whatever your favourite tv show is] or drink a glass of wine in front of the fire."

Like I said, pumpernickel, I think you have a great skeleton profile here. You just need to flesh it out so it shows a bit of your personality.

Oh! And get more pics. Definitely, more pics. Get some friends to take some shots of you. A full-body shot will always help. (Tip: if you're like me, and don't like the way you photograph, a shot taken from above is very slimming - there's a reason why the From Above Shot is the standard Facebook profile picture). Make sure you have at least a few photos up, because they're the first thing people will notice. Photos, and your signature line.

Speaking of which... "I'll be right here waiting"?
No.
No you won't.
Because you're a hot tamale with men banging down the door, right? The men are the ones lined up waiting for a chance to meet you, right? Change the signature line. You are too valuable to sit around anywhere waiting.

I'ma bit tight for time, but I do have something for you.

Get a picture with a smile! What are you hiding?

And talk/email with a date? which is it?

I'll be back later.

OK Lady! I'm back.

I read your profile. You have a bit of a contradiction going on. No problem, just so you are aware of it.

"Talk/emai"l...

" I can dance all nite long. Wanna join me? "

"as long as I have the love of a good man and the things i need to survive than I am content."

This says, to me that you are looking for a companion for dating or a relationship.

If I were a guy, I might be a tad confused, and be afraid of being the "bad guy" if I jumped the wrong way. Or might get a message you are available for more that just talk/email.

Otherwise, it's good, Try it out (with more pictures, of course!) and keep nibbling at it, fine tune it once in a while if you think it might help.

And send out some emails. If they don't answer, then move on! I think what you want is to make connections.
