Do I come across... mean??
Posted: 2/10/2009 5:15:25 PM
I'm just wondering if my profile comes across as mean, or bit&hy, because I am so upfront on what I want or am I just that ugly that nobody will message me? lol.

What should I change?

Thanks everyone!

I would correct minor grammatical issues in your "About Me" section. An example would be to put the period after the parenthesis if the words within the parenthesis do not form the entire sentence. Another would be to remove the abbreviations like D.D. and spell them out. Otherwise, what you say looks great!

If I were you I would make the photo of you walking on the beach as your primary. It is close enough to your face in my opinion to be a 'facial shot', but really would peak someone's interest to come inside and read your profile if they saw you on the 'recent login' portion of the graphical user interface.

Cheers!

You might want to check that grammar. Especially on the line about spelling and grammar. Some complete sentences would be nice. I'm only saying that because you are asking that from your prospective date but then fail in your own writing.

As far as mean goes, I'd say it doesn't sound mean but a couple of the things are a bit too much (taking care of things, living with mom and dad, etc).

Sorry, if something come across as "too much" but I won't be taking them out.

However, I did take out the spelling / grammar thing, I know I'm not perfect. Someone who can't spell or uses things like "ur" or stupid abreviations are a major turn off to me though.

You're about my daughters age! lol

It looks good but maybe split up your paragraphs a bit...so as it doesn't all run together.
It makes it easier to read.

I have the urge to say:
boys are bad boys are bad boys are bad

Get rid of the middle photo. Makes you look like you're trying to attract men by showing cleavage and that makes you less attractive.

You need to develop some interests which are more well rounded. All of your interests sound passive and lacking in depth.

Here's your problem. You wrote, and I quote, "I have standards."

Kidding. Even I can't see any major problems and I'm nitpicky. The only problem I can see is that you don't live closer. If you don't want to pursue, then be patient. If you start looking for guys who are your type, and email them first, they'd have to have some kind of head injury to not reply.

And if you really like snow angels, try Canada some day. ;)

Ugly? Well, I looked at your profile and pics and Medusa came to mind... riiiiiight.

You're VERY pretty and I personally think your profile is just fine. I think it's perfectly ok to specify things you do/do not want. You don't want to settle. That shows good self esteem and confidence. Maybe some guys your age are intimidated by that, I'm not sure. I just had a friend of mine tell me something interesting from a guy's perspective (well, HIS opinion, anyway)... he said that a lot of guys won't approach a REAL hottie because they're almost positive they'll be shot down. What that tells me is don't take no messages to mean that there's anything wrong, you're just TOO HOT for them! LOL!

Do you message guys? If not, maybe you should! What the heck! That at least breaks the ice for them...

Good luck!

If what you wrote is your truth, who cares what others think? I don't see anything wrong with it...I think you are absolutely adorable - especially in the third picture (the VIP pic)...Knock em dead!
