Posted: 3/21/2009 7:53:28 PM | I've responded to your other post over on the Dating Advice forums, so here is a copy and paste of said response:
Steeler, you have to realize that your ad will be the very first chance you have to make an impression on someone. In real life, you might be able to make a great first impression with your wit, a warm smile, body language, etc.
However, with a profile, they have essentially two things to go by: your picture and how you present yourself. Presenting yourself also means, like in real life, a grasp of clear communication. As much as I hate to say it, your posts and your profile, are incredibly hard to read, follow or understand.
I feel like a jerk for asking this, but is English even your first language? Because given the way that you communicate on here, I have my doubts. | |

Posted: 3/21/2009 9:12:03 PM | what the hell kind of profile is that?!
Seriously man, you have NO idea why you're not getting hits?
I'm going to do you a favor--I made a profile review template, and I'm going to use it on you here. I do this because your profile is such a wreck that this is the only way to tackle it.
Italo's 25 point Profile Review!
Based on 1-10 scale when possible!
1. Quality of Pictures: 1/10 not good at all. only one pic
2. Talent of the writer: 0/10 seriously man, put yourself together!
3. Structure of profile: 1/10 it's a mess!
4. Length of profile: 6/10 in word count, it's not bad.
5. Red Flags: the entire thing is full of red flags.
6. Use of lists: not bad. didn't use lists..good work.
7. Cliche Usage: If it were in english there would probably be some.
8. Grammar: -5/10. Worst I've seen in any profile!
9. Confidence: 3/10---confidence does not come across.
10. Humor Evident: 0/10 nothing humorous.
11. Negativity: Not negative. good job
12. Visible Baggage: mmm...jury is out on this one.
13. X-Factor: -7/10 --a negative X factor is not what you're aiming for!
14. Overall impression: -3/10
15. Too revealing: N/A
16. Comes off as doofus: Extremely.
17. Likability Factor: 3/10
18. Too many filters?: Nope. good job
19. Too much sexual related innuendo: nope, good job
20. Creepy Factor: Not TOO creepy. Weird, sure.
21. Factors appealing to opposite sex: 0/10. get to work.
22. Clear indication of personality in writing? 3/10 Nope.
23. Clear on who the person is and who they're looking for? Sorta. 5/10
24. Sentences mostly start with "I this" "I that" "I everything": nope. good job
25. Improper transitions from paragraphs?: Clearly.
Advice
Re-make your profile and address all 25 points in the profile. Be funny, learn to write better than a grade-schooler, it isn't hard.
After you tackle all of the above, I'm open to taking a look again.
I'm off to Salsa! wohoooo..

Well, we could give you a bunch of positive BS reviews, but ultimately, they are not going to help you. The problem is in your spelling and grammar. Quite frankly, your writing makes you seem like one of those e-mail scammers from China or India. Any woman, who knows the ins and outs of the web, will be skeptical of you right off the bat. Also keep in mind that women on this site, especially the more attractive ones, receive dozens of e-mails a day. Meaning that they are not going to waste time trying to read your attempts at the English language.
This is not meant to be an insult towards your intelligence. Fact is, some of the most intelligent people I know are absolutely terrible with words. Unfortunately, in the online world, people judge you by your grammar. Your best bet is to have a neighbor or friend type up your profile for you. Your profile should state that you are terrible with words and had to have someone type it up for you. You can make a joke out of the situation, and this will avoid making you look dishonest later. E-mails are going to be tricky for you. Use simple, yet well thought out sentences. Say what you want to say out loud before you type it. SPELL CHECK is your friend. Get her phone number and get away from the keyboard conversations ASAP. Good luck. | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 4:33:01 AM | | Sorry but I actually cut & pasted your profile onto my word, corrected the spelling mistakes and it still didn't make any sense at all! I must be brutal and say it is the worse profile I have ever read - I bet you would get a better response if you had absolutely nothing written there. | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 7:04:30 AM | WOW, I read that profile "redo" and still the spelling and grammar are terrible. I'm just glad I missed the profile before it was redone. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what your trying to say. The best thing you can do is take an english remediation class and then fix that mess! | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 7:22:36 AM | OK, he wants a "positive" review.
I'm "positive" you're not going to get any replies, because it's like you wrote it in code.
I'm "positive" that you have to go over the entire thing, one word at a time, to fix it.
I'm "positive" that your education level is the problem. So I'm "positive" that you MUST go for the lady's phone number AS FAST AS YOU CAN. In your FIRST email to her, say "look I can't write, but if we talk I'm a great guy.
I'm "positive" that most of the time this won't work, but I'm "positive" that it'll work more than if you just exchange emails. | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 7:53:07 AM | Buddy, this profile is really, really bad.
I checked out your other thread, someone mentioned it on this one. For crying out loud, someone sent you a REWRITE, where the heck is it?!!! Jeez man, copy and paste that bad boy in there, and SAVE YOURSELF.
Although, no one can send you rewrites of your replies when you finally email someone back. But at least you will have a chance to get messages. Actually, I agree with the above poster...go straight to speaking on the phone when the time comes to email them back.
Good luck to you!

Posted: 3/22/2009 8:18:51 AM | CJ: I don't think that copying and pasting will help him at all. The minute he fires off his first email, the illusion will be shattered. That's why I'm not a big fan of re-writing people's profiles for them; it adds a veneer, but strips them of their own voices.
And then, once the first email comes around, nothing in the profile can save him from the inevitable read/delete. | |
|
| CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY NO RESONSES AT ALL
Posted: 3/22/2009 8:38:42 AM | I agree...I don't usually either, and favor an edit over a rewrite for someone. In fact, I almost never do, but I am suggesting this guy use the one that was sent him. My reasoning is that I really don't think this guy is capable of doing a rewrite. At least he can get a message with a rewrite. And then he can use the other posters suggestion that he move directly to the phone. Immediately. Like the other poster said, it won't work most of the time, but it may work...and Lord knows it will work better than that profile he currently has up. (Which I can almost guarantee will earn him a "back click" from the ladies the minute they try to decipher what he has written.)
No offense, OP, but I don't think you can do it, even with a spell checker...the sentence structure is just too bad.
Also, OP: You need to think about why a woman would tell you to leave her alone or she would call the cops. Most of the women I know, including myself, utter those words rarely, if at all. (I'm trying to think...I don't think I've EVER said that to anyone.) What gives?

Posted: 3/22/2009 9:02:33 AM | Sorry OP, online dating isn't for you. 
Any one of us could blow smoke, rewrite your profile, and send you on your way. Reality is, the first time you email or respond to someone without us, you're going to tip your cards. . .
Shut'er down. . .  | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 10:28:01 AM | I just had a look at your revised profile and miraculously all the spelling and sentence structure issues are gone and it is readable. What happened? Did you suddenly learn to spell? Did someone write this for you? I'm curious as to what country you are from (or in) as it appears you are not familiar with the English language.
Unfortunately, you forgot to have them fix your "first date" section. | |
|
| CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY NO RESONSES AT ALL
Posted: 3/22/2009 10:45:20 AM | BTW, you obviously copied someone's content that was written for you, but you shoot yourself in the foot in your 'First Date' section.
Woman will see the inconsistency there. . . Might as well delete it, if you're to have any 'hope' at all.
Dude, seriously? I'm approaching 40, and you look no where near my age. You are definately in your 50's. That's just wrong. . . .

Posted: 3/22/2009 11:21:49 AM | Pmsl... I have just had a proper look....
I’m Larry, a very nice, sweet, good guy with a lot of hidden pluses that make me a great catch. I just celebrated the big Five-O, as in my 50th birthday, but I like to think that I look at least 10 years younger. That’s because I don’t do drugs or consume alcohol. I’m still a kid at heart, which helps when interacting with my two children, ages 10 and 12, whom I share custody.
I moved here from New Mexico to be near my children, and I’m looking for that special someone to share in new experiences. I treat women respectfully, and I’m looking for a nice lady to meet, to do stuff with and to see what develops. Chat me up. Ask me anything. But you must like children and not feel threatened when I devote my time to them every other weekend. I’m comfortable in more formal environments like dinner, dancing and the movies, or informal settings like barbecuing, swimming or anything outdoors that’s great fun for both of us.
If you’re into head games, please take a pass on me.

Somebody obviously DID re-write the profile, sent it him in a message and he obviously copied the WHOLE page!!! Look at the very bottom of the About Me! Yes, if somebody is going to do this, they should correct his interests, first date AND even send out the messages for him - hey, maybe even go on the date!!! | |

Did everybody see this?!?!
It's the at the end of the OP's "About Me" section. HAR! It's the language that appears at the end of every POF email received.
So, here's what happened: Mr. OP Scammer realized that his profile was unreadable, then sought the help of ANOTHER Scammer roaming this site, who emailed him the language to include, but OP Scammer was so dumb he cut and paste everything!
Oh, man, I love being a profile reviewer! Free and endless entertainment.
EDIT: Oops, Sunflora is on the case, too! | |

Posted: 3/22/2009 1:16:33 PM | | Yeah, he probably got it from the poster in his OTHER THREAD. She said she rewrote it for him, and sent it to him....The guy needs help cutting and pasting, too, it seems. | |

I'm sure there are a lot of women who would love to get to know you, and even be in a long relationship with you. In fact, I work with a nurse who, just last night, said she much prefers to date blue collar workers than doctors or lawyers. But, here's the thing: If you want nice, and no negative responses, you're not going to find out what's wrong with your profile. I'm not sure what it was like, before, but your profile still needs a lot of work. I suggest you find someone who knows how to write well, and pay them to say what you want. Clearly, writing is not your strong suit, so have your writer enter the text for you; don't have your writer write it on paper for you to copy it to the site, yourself, because you're likely to inadvertently mess it up. And definitely get a better quality picture -- several of them, in fact. | |
