Posted: 9/3/2008 11:31:46 PM | Hey all i'm new to POF fresh over from facebook and wanting to get to know some of the locals in my city who I haven't had the chance to meet just yet.
Wondering if any of the fine POF community could give me some tips/pointers and whatnot on my profile and picture choice. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 8:00:40 AM | That profile seems fine to me, short, simple, to the point, learn a little about yourself and the pictures seem to be really good.
Nothing I can suggest to improve. | |

Also, I think you need better picture. Half I do not know who you are, the rest are too far away to see how you look like. | |

More pics, maybe of your grandparents, your tennis shoes, maybe even of YOU. You want a clear headshot of YOU for your main.
You seem pretty dull, surely at 21 u arent content sitting in your rocking chair yelling at the neighborhood kids yet.
Put some excitement in there, what are you looking for in a woman...make it less short and less boring. | |

Posted: 5/23/2009 9:35:19 PM | For some reason I cannot start any new threads, no matter what forum I try to post in. Any ideas?
Secondly:
After much deliberation I totally scrapped my last profile and all of the text with it (i'm working on updating the images right now).
Like most of the folks posting for profile reviews on this site, I too have been a member of POF for a decent amount of time; redesigning, scrapping profile, picture and concept after concept.
Now I am wondering if I would be able to get a few pointers on any problem areas there may be on my profile.

Posted: 5/23/2009 9:47:41 PM | Hi, Nick - ... a few thoughts ...
The main photo shows you are a nice-looking guy, but it's too dark! Get outside and get a great smiling closeup head/shoulders shot. (The lighting is always more flattering outdoors)
You could have the world's greatest profile and girls will never see it because the limited number of available babes here are Looking For: DATING and you have HANGOUT. (That's what you do with your guy friends.) If you want someone smoochable, change this to Dating.
The whole paragraph with the snooze button can go. Get into the 'good stuff' faster.
When you talk about biking the trails, why not use that as an opportunity to ask your viewer if she bikes and knows any great trails? Or even just a "Care to join me?" is nice.
Personally, I love the cooking info....
You may want to eliminate the extra lines between your bolded headlines and the sentences following so your viewer doesn't have to scroll so much - it's picky, but if they feel it goes on forever they'll stop mid-way and miss some good stuff.
When you send introductory emails, are you keeping it light and casual? For example, if I were writing to you:
"I'm a complete AC/DC fan, too, going to see them this summer in Vancouver for the 3rd time! The first time was in 1977 and they were backing up Aerosmith. Did you get good seats?" The end. Do NOT say 'check me out and email me back'. They certainly will check you out and they MAY email you back. If they do, great. If not, NEXT.
Free advice for what it's worth. Good luck! | |

Posted: 10/18/2009 1:56:35 PM | Alright everyone, I recently changed cities and I figure it was time to change my profile as well. I tried to mix a little more of my personality into this version of it
Tell me what you think.

Posted: 10/19/2009 6:21:00 PM | Replace all of your pics except the first 2.
You really don't say much on your profile at all. It's like a skeleton with no muscle to move it. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 7:15:16 PM | Except for the 'obligatory' line, your profile would make more sense if the paragraphs were done in the exact reverse order. Better opening, more natural flow.
The line in your 'first date' idea that reads something about catching your attention needs to go. Blech. Instead, 'if we click', or 'if we can't stop smiling at each other', or something that doesn't sound c0cky.
You do sound like a great guy. Good luck! | |

Posted: 10/20/2009 7:52:37 PM | Hey Yougofirst, I followed your suggestion on the order of the points in my profile, reads much better now; Thanks
Seeksadventure, I removed the shots that might be considered "Self-absorbed" (boring self-shots) and put in a few more that sort of follow along with what I say in my profile.
Can anyone else give me any pointers? | |

How is PSYCHOLOGY an interest when you can't even spell it properly?
Just asking..... | |

Interesting...
(you may wish to change the title of that pic since generally you'd shave before an interview too, right?)
/I love misspelled interests that are links
//shows exactly how much of the population goes "oops" | |

Posted: 10/21/2009 12:14:44 AM | Best.Mistake, thanks for the heads up. Honestly though, I just typed my profile up quickly (in hindsight I probably should have passed it through MS Word's spell-check) Wups.
And dichoTommy I see what you're saying there, I'll think of something better. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 3:55:30 PM | Alright guys/girls, i've been playing around with my profile a bit more; and trying to move away from the whole cookie cutter (Add my own flair to it)
Tell me what you think?
One question, do you think I should elaborate on what I'm going to school for or should that be one of the conversation topics once they talk to me?

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:56:40 PM | A few quickies...
Headline needs to be something more catchy or more descriptive.
Future Iron Chef
Appetite for adventure
Meet me in Kitchen Stadium
Sunglasses in a main photo will get it deleted. Smiling, clear, closeup head/shoulders shot is needed.
Everything after '... king of beers'... can go in that whole paragraph. If you overexplain, you'll sound like an alcoholic. Instead, describe something else you enjoy. "Another way for me to relax is ....." , hopefully something your viewer can do with you. People watching? A great mindless action movie where things blow up every 10 minutes? | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 9:06:30 PM | Less fuzzy primary photo, no shades, and if you have teeth, show 'em.
Our age group (20's) of men has a terrible time getting the attention of women. Personally, I'm a lazy **stard that hasn't posted more photographs of myself, but I'm still getting on average a message from somebody new every day - almost all of them mention that smile.
You've got some excellent photo's - you just need a good one with your eyes and a smile. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 10:30:55 PM | I see absolutely bnoithing wrong with your profile, you are totaly yourself and that is a
beautiful thing !! Plus, who are we to give advice, I am sure many that have responded to your question profiles are not the greatest. Just remember to always be yourself, so when a young lady falls in love with you, she will really love you for you and nor some fasade that you have created. I wish you well and I hope you find that special someone ! YOU GO BOY !!!!! | |
