I think you should leave off where you are originally from unless you feel strongly about posting that on your profile.

You need to put in here what you enjoy doing with other people - friends, family, dates. In other words what is it that makes you fun to be with on a date. Activities like football games, museums, movies etc. that you would enjoy doing or sharing are good in here.

Check the top for helpful hints for profiles too.

Good luck!

Ok, here I go: I was listening to a horrible talk female “Doctor” beat up another caller but I did pick up on this: don’t use try, just do it. So I would it as such: Be optimistic, work hard in order to get it.

What is a RGM?

Some women love to hang and watch TV but I think they want variety. You are DJ: do you dance? Women love men who can dance (or so I have been told). And in addition to MASH, you like these TV shows (in addition to MASH) and these movies (Office Space, Spanking the Monkey (that is a real, great film IMHO!) Use your own likes here.

The paragraph that shows what you are looking for is good but on the first date I think it should be “After that, we could take a walk in the park if we had the time.”

Read your profile out loud and if it sounds wrong correct it. I am still a horrible writer (and I thought I could be a contender!) and hate to proof my own work but we all need to make a good 1st impression.

Hope this is not too harsh, Jim

Jim,

Thanks for all your ideas.
An RGM is a Restaurant General Manager. I used to be a DJ and by doing that I never had time to dance so I think I'm a bad/inexperienced dancer. :)
You are right about the first date. I hope you don’t mind if I will use the suggested line.
Once again thanks!!!
Damian

PS: should my profile be longer (e.g. the 640 words rule)?

I agree with above poster, I didn't know what RGM was, RPG yup, RGM nope. I would probably just use General Manager. They can read your profile which looks good to me My personal opinion is too long a profile and they skip through it, too short and they don't know who you are.

Good luck to ya

I like the fact that you have full body pictures...mine doesn't and I have to get that fixed. But when I look at a man's profile, I like to see his face real good. I like eyes...I think you need some closer up pictures showing your face without the sunglasses. I think you sound real nice and honest. You asked what a good first letter had in it, well I had a man calling me honey and sweetie in the first letter and it was a turn off. I had to get help with this myself. My adult daughter said to ask a question or two..but not too many. Sound friendly...Good luck...

Its your pictures. You are wearing sunglasses and you have far away pics/

Spelling tip for profiles. Write it in a word processor first, then run spell check, then copy and paste it.

You've got 'sun', 'grass', 'sky' in your Interests. Why not 'Sci Fi" instead?
("Grass" could certainly be taken out of context here)

Remove the very last line - it's really sinks your otherwise upbeat profile. Why not instead, "Let's dance like no one's watching". Or some other invitation for fun!

Good luck!

I had no idea I could add sun, grass and sky to my interests. Hmmm, black pepper, remote controls, high thread count sheets, damn girl, you got me thinking now.

The one with the games and target? What's wrong with it?
And yes I do use word but sometimes I just skip all that and just type it in....a lesson I learned.

Yeah maybe you are right "mrwutzizname ". Grass, sky and sun don't add up....Would swiming, hiking and drving 120 on Autobahn sound better?

Yes, because at least it's something you could do with your partner. :)

Well it sounds good but where do you live? Do you really drive 120 on the Autobahn? I like the swimming and hiking though. Especially the hiking since I'm an avid hiker. To be honest I'm quite surprised that grass, sky and sun were searchable. That mean other people have used those before. I just can't really see how that could be a serious interest. I mean suppose we were buddies out having a beer at a bar. How long could we really talk about sun and sky unless we were smoking grass.

Dude ( if I may call you that)

You make sense. Btw: not to bla bla but our 100 point list made my nigh. It's one of the best lists I have everever seen. I love it. Maybe one day I will have the b^^s to sit down and write such a thing. (if I may us your idea)

But yea I used to live in Germany for a while and life is wild at 120 to 150....
Thank you all and good night...

Not a bad opening eh! good picture spread as well.



I always try to be positive and I'm an open and honest person. I don’t lie in order to get what I want but try to work extra hard in order to get it.


I would scrap this whole angle. Honest people do not need to say they are honest. Do not use the word lie, unless youa re referring to golf.



Saturday night is my off work night so unless I go to a friend’s house I tend to watch TV.


Boooooooring! ditch this.





I’m looking for a mature person that knows what she wants from life. Someone that likes walks in the park knows what a museum is and knows that life is too short to be spent in meaningless games.


Good! but, ditch the 'meaningless games' Who does?


I don’t smoke and I enjoy a drink once in a while. I’m tired of games and people that have no target for life


I would scrap this part too. only women are allowed to say they do not like games. =)

Feel free to call me dude but I would advise against doing a list type of thing. Although it has worked for me there was a fairly young guy that tried to do the same thing after he saw my profile. Unfortunately he didn't do a very good job and it compeletly back fired on him. My list has been up for a while so anyone who has seen it and then finds another profile like it will likely think that you didn't want to put forth the effort to accurately paint a picture of yourself so you just ripped off someone else. That's not likely going to fair well for you. My advice is to dig deep and find what makes you unique. Use that to set yourself apart. If you let yourself flow on to the page so to speak, that is what is going to make your profile stand out amongst a sea of guys like us trying to find the woman of our dreams. Ok, kinda sappy but what the hell, it's late and I haven't eaten yet.

Can I suggest you use the second picture as your primary one? The red color of your shirt should stand out and you are smiling in that picture as well. I also think it's a straighter looking shot (meaning your head is perfectly straight and not tilted). You might want to try it and see if it makes an impression.
