Hi

I signed up a few weeks ago, but havent really had time till now to work on my profile and use the site. Not quite sure what i should be writing really in my profile, so any advice would be appreicated.

Also i have 3 'face' pics up, im pretty sure one is enough- if someone could point out the least gormless one to keep up- that would be great thanks

Cheers

Just a few thoughts for you....

You photos are generally good...clear, close up, but all very much alike. You seem to be a good looking man, and I think that you should have a friend take one or two more of you smiling (and smiling with your eyes too).

You describe having more interests than only sports, so include them and more in the listing area too since lots of people do searches on those interests. And tell a bit more about yourself as a person...what makes you interesting and unique and special. Also, describe more completely what type of woman you would like to meet, since almost everyone would describe themselves as having a sense of humor and wanting to have fun. It would also be helpful to know more about your work.

Good luck!

First thing I noticed was your last picture, and how fake your smile is.
You don't look like a very happy person. Your pictures are very similar, as stated above. We only need one face shot - then we basically know what you look like. What about you with some scenery, or with friends, etc. Pictures can tell a lot about a persons' life. You didn't include enough detail about who you are or what you like as also stated above. Another thing: A simple drink to see if you click. Put we click, because you click sounds funny - I'm kind of a grammar nerd. Your profile isn't written properly and for me that shows a lack of effort/motivation. I's are I's not i's. Fix up your punctuation. You have a Bachelor's Degree - show it.

Hiya

thats just what i was looking for thanks, yup i need to work more on the main profile
especially interests and what im looking for- i guess i didnt want to write an essay noone would read!.

As for the pics, yup i realise just 1 face pic is needed, i just wasnt sure which one to use out of the ones i have got?. I will get some better pictures at some point though.

Anyway thanks again

1. One headshot is plenty. Post some pictures of you DOING something.

2. The profile sounds mostly boilerplate, but has some strong points. Mentioning that you have a DRY sense of humor is good but the word "dry" gets lost. Maybe illustrate your sense of humor a bit. Do you like****ns? "The Office"? Give us more of a feel for that. This would also give you a chance to elaborate on what you like to read. Is it Tom Clancy or Popular Mechanics?

3. You say you travel, so maybe some travel pictures would be a good idea. And be clearer about "farther afield". Do you mean driving all the way to Cardiff, or a cruise to Antarctica? Different people have different ideas of what consitutes "far".

OMG! I put the name of the author, Charles D-i-ckens, and it stuck in asterisks! I think they need to fix their censor program!
