| A quick look at my profile?
Posted: 7/17/2008 12:42:17 PM | Hello!
"Ladies and gentlemen, if I could direct your attention to the centre of the ring, where Bassmansam1980 currently has his head in a lion's mouth and is about to flick said lion with a wet towel!"
"POF patrons, the choice is now yours! Can you rescue him from the (ahem) jaws of defeat with glowing profile reviews and words of encouragement that all is well, or, will the end of this thread see him, (really? you want me to say that? OK!) lose his head!"
*Walks off*
"Seriously, guys, we need some new material..."
Yes, I know it's a little odd but I just can't resist being a little out-there and unusual. Gather round children, and I''ll tell you a story!
Okay, I've been here for a couple of months now after being directed by a friend who'd met his (rather lovely) girlfriend via this site. Now, I came, I saw, I messaged but apparently to no avail! I've had a few replies but nothing more than just short answers to the questions I've posed when I've sent a message - Yes, there are some exceptions to this, I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush. Now, I tend to keep my first message short and sweet. I don't want it to look like I'm interviewing someone with the first contact. I'll generally try and relate to something they've mentioned in their profile while trying to be witty and just strike up a conversation. I've had one 'potential' date from here but I did sit in a car park for 2 hours waiting for her to turn up, I called, I sent text messages but I didn't get any replies until 90 minutes later at which point I was at a party in a field, and quite rightly so I might add! ;-)
Once a couple of messages have been exchanged and I think there's some kind of flirting or at least relaxed conversation - I'll suggest a drink. The reason for this is that I've chatted to people online (and got to know them fairly well) before and then when we meet up, it's a little awkard and no one knows where to start. Am I mentioning meeting up too soon?
I guess I'd just like to know if anyone thinks that I should be changing my profile, and behaving differently when I message someone. I'm a busy chap so I see this as a good way to meet someone. While I am busy, I should add that I always make time for someone if they're a part of my life.
So, people - suggestions if you please! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 1:21:17 PM | This is a question I hate answering! I'm no good at all on rating the attractiveness of other men! I'd say he's a good looking bloke. I haven't looked for his profile on here and I haven't had a chance to ask him what his username is/was.
Why do you ask? | |

Posted: 7/29/2008 10:40:28 AM | More pics.; the main should be a nice clear close~up of your smiling face. You can have up to 8 so no reason to wait on that.
Add to the interest section; these are used in searches so are advantageous for you.
You have quite the blog going for your about me section; try to re~format that into paragraphs that include the type of information the women are looking for. You can include your musical interests and the like but there is a place for that without going overboard with it; this would be the 2nd paragraph.
1) Describes you; strengths, personality and character traits.
2) Tells us what you do; job/travel/music/goals... etc.
3) Describes the woman you're hoping to find here; her qualities and personality type.
Try to be a bit more explicit on the first date idea; not many women would care to jump into a car with a man on a first date to head off to never never land. Be creative and generate the readers interest so she wants to go on that date with you.
Good luck : ) | |

Thank you for all the advice.
I've made some updates as suggested, would you mind casting your masterful eye over it once more? | |
