| Is my profile that bad or am I just that ugly?
Posted: 7/5/2008 7:41:54 PM | | Seriously, I've had the worst luck with this site. Apparently, no women wish to speak to me in my city whatsoever. I tried this site because I'm shy in large groups of people and I don't go out much for that same reason. I think women need to realize that realistically the guy you end up meeting on this site won't be a model. Just a thought. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 8:04:49 PM | The two pics of you in the tan shirt are not flattering (especially the last one) but the other ones look great to me!
The text of the profile is a bit wordy, but if you broke the paragraphs apart it might look easier on the eyes.
Just a couple of quick things I noticed.
Hope they help!
If you have a moment to take a look at mine too that would be great! =) | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 9:24:52 PM | I deleted those suggested pictures and I got rid of the excess in my description. I don't want it to be a generic profile with two lines though. I wish it to distinguish me from all the other guys out there. If you could take a look at my revamped profile it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
PS Your profile is quite creative! | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 10:06:15 PM | Overall in your profile, you sound very articulate and pleasant. But your profile is still pretty wordy. Some suggestions:
You can sum your first paragraph in one sentence by saying that you want to meet someone for a meaningful relationship. The rest of the sentences - like why you're on this site, how people want to be with people - I don't think you need at all because it's understood that if you're on this site you're looking to meet people.
Re: your second paragraph - the sentence about being "not the most attractive man, but don't take this as me lacking self-confidence" is unnecessary. One, you make it sound like you think you aren't attractive AND that you aren't attractive as a fact - some people may find you quite physically attractive! Two, you can exhibit your self-confidence by NOT talking about how you think you're not the most attractive man....does that make sense? I myself am short, but I'm not going to say on my profile "I'm short, but I'm cool with it." I just say "I'm short" and move on - THAT shows self-confidence :) Even so...I only say that I'm short because the site won't let me input my height. Also...maybe if you can say how your humour is unconventional (like give examples), what goals you have, how you are quirky.
Re: your third paragraph - what you said about wanting a woman who looks like Sophia Loren or Anne Hathaway might scare away some women, especially when you say "not nearly as important as our compatibility" - that implies that movie-star looks ARE somewhat important to you! That sentence acts as a screen...so...it's up to you if you want to leave it up. You can just say that you want a woman who is attractive, etc etc rather than saying you want someone that looks like a movie star.
Hope this helps! | |

As per your suggestion I've removed the above comment and removed the "unattractive" bit. Thank you very much for your input!
