Posted: 7/4/2008 5:45:59 AM | I'm not just looking for sex but very cautious about getting into a relationship, hard to work out what to put without seeming like you either want a marriage or a one night stand. argh
And I have to drag this first post out to over 200 words? dear god what on earth can I say that isn't already said in the very first sentence.... Seruously! I got straight to the point and it tells me I have to waffle on to even ask for female advice on my profile?  | |

When I read a guys profile who writes the barest minimum . it makes me think he would probably not want to exert much effort into a personal relationship either. Kinda like a fast food drive up service, where you get something for the least amount of effort. And that isnt always the best for you , just like the fast food.
You are selling yourself here, it shows you have a creative , patient mind when you write well, and it says to me, that you might be creative and passionate when pursuing said lady, yep, thats the guy for me!

All a profile does is tell people what you want them to know. If you don't want them to know anything, if you think for one second that being "mysterious" is going to get you anywhere, good luck my friend.
Ask yourself why you are on this site. Write the answer down. Ask yourself what type of person's attention you are looking for. Write that down. 200 words is not a novel, btw. It's exactly twice what you wrote in your OP. | |

But I still think your profile is brass and needs work. Even if you want to attract someone to 'hang out' with, you need to show some effort.
You need to provide something for an interest to be sparked. You've essentially written nothing! OK, I'll give you credit in the sense that you have a list of interests. Well I'll be damned if I knew just listing interests would settle all of my social needs in life!
The only situations where we can just show what's skin deep is when you have a bunch of strangers forced together in a social situation and they are actually forced to communicate openly. Here's a bit of news: ppl on the internet are not being forced to socially mingle, and in that sense, they're going to be attracted to those who reveal more that attracts them.
Don't give up hope, and certainly don't give up that initial spark that drove you on here to request advice. We're giving you advice on how to make things better. We certainly can't write the prose for you, and so it's up to you to take what we've said and use it constructively.
Good luck! | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 1:55:52 PM | Hi Adam,
You have some nice pictures up but 3 is not enough. Please put up a few more if you don't mind.
The negativity in your About Me section put me off. The whole poing of putting up a PoF profile is to attract people's attention and to maybe meet that special someone right? So when you tell us that you hate filling out this is part it makes it seem like you dont want to impress people. You come across as insecure which is the opposite that you should be trying to accomplish. You are selling yourself in a way.
For me, I don't care how good looking a guy is, if he can't be bothered to put the effort into his profile then I am not interested.
Saying that you like to party gives me the impression that you are an immature and I don't imagine a lot of girls are into that. It makes me think that you are only good for a one night stand.
I hope this has been helpful. Bottom line is that I believe you will get out of PoF what you put in to it.
Good luck with your search.
