| A little review here please
Posted: 1/23/2009 7:01:02 AM | | Well reading through some of the reviews on this forum. Seems like some really good constructive input is presented. So I thought I would have you folks take a look at my profile. I seem to have some trouble getting the ladies to respond to me. I am not sure if it is a case of not being able to look past the cover of the book to find out it the story is good, or if there is just something I am saying in my profile that is putting them off. Thanks in advance for any input. | |

Posted: 1/23/2009 2:30:39 PM | Your main picture is a bit stark - more like a criminal mug shot. Something reflecting the warmth of your profile would be better.
I am sure you are a very genuine person and your aspirations for life are extremely laudable but in my view the desire to do a little good each day is overplayed. I'd prefer to know a little more about the things you enjoy, that make you laugh. Your attitude to your children is great and I like the bit about "when I grow up" because you sound mature but hint at a childlike streak, often a lovely combination.
I wasn't very impressed with your ideal date proposals - especially as you clearly see someone getting to you rather than you travelling to them, not very gentlemanly.
However 4 people have selected you as a favourite so something is going well for you. So perhaps just a few small changes needed. | |

Posted: 1/23/2009 2:53:34 PM | I agree about the main picture.
However, I really don't like the "when I grow up" part. You're not grown yet? =/ I'd leave that out but keep the rest. Do you have any more interests? | |

Posted: 1/23/2009 2:57:23 PM | | Ya, the stark pic is a problem. Part of being a single dad, I always seem to be on the wrong side of the camera. So the old timer self portraits are the rule of the day. Thanks for the other input, also. | |

Posted: 1/23/2009 9:34:29 PM | Hi - an interesting read.
There was really nothing that jumped out and said "serial killer" so I can't see why there would be any response based on the profile. You seem to write very well and have no issues with spelling (!) so I can't imagine it's anything in your introductory letters.
I really liked the outdoor photos - keep them. You do touch on the outdoors in your profile. Perhaps you can elaborate more on where you like to go fishing or camping (without giving away the secret spots, of course). Would you like to meet someone who can fish? or are you offering free lessens?? followed, of course, by you cleaning and cooking the catch of the day??
It may simply be a numbers thing. There are more men than women on this site.
Good luck on your studies and your pursuit of happiness.  | |

Posted: 1/23/2009 9:52:16 PM | Try to add a bit of personality to your profile. Pick one or two things that you are enthusiastic about and describe in a bit more detail. You talk about a childlike enthusiasm - show it! That's the sort of thing that a reader might be able to relate to.
Others have commented on your photos - I agree. Try to get a main shot that is warmer and more inviting. Definitely need a smile.
Good luck! | |

Posted: 1/26/2009 8:06:08 AM | | So I have a new pic, and I have done some updating on the text. How is it looking? I know the pic still isn't perfect, specially since I have such a goofy looking smile on my face. I was thinking about how goofy it is to be taking self portraits to try and look funny for the internet. Made me smile. LOL Thanks again for the input I have gotten so far. | |

Posted: 1/26/2009 9:34:15 PM |  Well personally, I don't know what thease people are talking about! :fustrated I love that picture!  The first thing i notice is this great smile, That shows the real you. I don't like pictures of people who don't smile, because it gives an image that they are not happy or not being themselves. I also think alot of people are too judgemental. They need to lighten up! The best edvice i can give, Is don't worry so much about what your profile looks like. Just be your true sweet self, and if people don't respond to you, then it's thare loss. Besides anyone can make a profile that seems to be great, but once you meet them they are nothing like they said. The only way to really get to know someone is by spending time with them. So I hope this helps!! And by the way, monkeymt I think you are awesome!!! One of the best i've seen on here yet!! | |
