Ack... horrible username, headline that is not really appropriate and has a name of another site in it, no picture, no profession, interests which should not be there, text that needs grammar check, and so on... Yep, needs a lot of work.

Dude. I'm going to say that I'm not a "profile making machine". But I will say that in order to get the goods, you AT LEAST have to have a picture. Chicks are window shopping, just as we are. They want to see what they maybe buying.........
Like the gentlemen said, grammer is important too.
But all that is relevant, because you are from Canada and the women up there are hot. One begs to wonder...

Shadow outline isnt much better man, it leaves the impression you are shady, and a mere outline of a person.. but i'll switch it and lose the site.. thanks

Yes, agree... but I am not looking at this time. My profile is not designed to attract people.

Having other sites, as well as IM handles, phone numbers and other contact information is a violation of POF rules anyway. And you can always convey the info in the emails to those you are talking with.

BTW, new handle is better. Not sure how well it comes across to the other side - I've never seen the movie.

For me, the username says it all about you without your profile. Not saying that is the case though it comes across that you are a bit of an arnie swarz or James Bond wannabie with the cheesy line.

Pictures will do you justice, women especially seem to not chat to people without a pic. Men will just chat to wherever their d1ck points to at the time lol - (i'm in a narrow minded mood)

You come across as a guy that has a humour so try and add this to your profile. There comes a time where the same ol profiles become boresome so something striking will improve your chances and a picture - DO IT!!! :)

Either or good luck...

If you've worked on it already...don't stop. I've got my axe out, let's begin. Here's what you have:

While I know that no-one is perfect. I know that I have alot to offer and am looking for the same!

What have you got to offer, so 'she' will know if she's the same? Explain or axe.

I am a single young professional guy.

We already know this, except you forgot to say what your profession is, even though Shadow Outline reminded you. It's important. Just say what you do for a living. And axe this.

I am looking for someone who wants to genuinely get to know me.

Unless your profile says "intimate encounter," this is a given. Axe this.

Prefer to do anything outdoors to anything indoors.. Read that how you want.. lol.

I don't find this "lol"-worthy. Axe the "lol" and the attempt at suggestiveness.

I would like to find someone open, honest and funny.

You and eight million other people. Axe. Be more specific. Describe, don't simply list adjectives.

I would like to meet someone with their head screwed on.

I hate people with floppy unattached heads, too.

I know where i want to go in life and I would like to meet someone with similar aspriations.

Again, say where are you GOING in life, so 'she' will know if she's got similar aspirations (note spelling)!

If you would like to know more about me or swap some pics, drop me a line. I do want children in the future.. just not at the present time!

Why? Why would she want to know more about you? We haven't learned anything about you yet. Children? Axe it. Tell her personally. You're young, it's not so odd.

My advice? Post some pics. Go on, bite the bullet. While you're at it, try to reveal more about yourself so someone might be inclined to see if you fit her expectations, as well.

Check out the Profile Writing Tips. When you make some changes, post here for another go-round of reviews.
