Posted: 4/2/2009 9:28:25 PM | | Guys help me out here. Please check out my profile and pictures and tell me what you think. Is my write up dumb or are the pictures not flirty enough or am I just ugly and boring LOL. My profile is" Tricia_s " and let me know what you think. Don't worry about being honest, I can take it I'm a big girl! Thanks. | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 9:53:57 PM | i would lose the talk about the horrors of SPCA
i totally understand how horrible puppy mills are, but it ends your profile on a downer
you want to end with a positive thing about you
so you leave guys with a smile on their faces | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 10:10:44 PM | You've got a great smile. Just work on your profile a little more. Maybe break it into smaller paragraphs. Also, it might help to not use "I" so much as a way of starting sentences.
Best of luck. Chin up. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 12:35:19 AM | Hi!
You don't need to be flirty in your pictures, just have good pictures that show you. As someone else said, lose the doggy pics, at least the one of you lying down with them. The other one is ok. The rest of the pics are fine.
For the text, you say "I" too much. Try to revise it and combine some sentences, or otherwise reduce the "I" usage. Also the last line "happy fishing" is sort of a waste and some could interpret it as you encouraging guys to look elsewhere.
The first date part...either put something real in it, or just leave it out entirely.
My opinion, take it for what it's worth.  | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 1:01:00 AM | Hi
At the moment your profile looks like this:
I am a down to earth girl who enjoys any opportunity to be outside. I love to travel and have done some volunteer work in Africa. I love water sports and I would really love to learn how to surf. I am a special education assistant working at an elementary school so my days are quite interesting and usually end with a tylenol. Hahaha.I have a very good sense of humor so being stupid and not caring what I look like when I purposely put spinach on my tooth, and ask you if I have anything in my teeth, is a common occurance. I am a well balanced person, I have my act together ( job, house and family life). I am also very spiritual. I practice yoga and love to be around nature. I love photography and enjoy any opportunity to go on adventures to capture some moments on film.
Happy Fishing!

Water sports gives me a great tingle. Learning to surf a dream.

Most people see me as a well balanced person, am proud to have my act together ( job, house and family life). Spirituality plays an important role in my life. I practice yoga and love to be around nature.
I love photography and enjoy any opportunity to go on adventures to capture some moments on film.
Happy Fishing!

Just try to breakup the block approach and spread out the sentences beginning with the word I.
Your Photos I find appealing, you have a very attractive smile.
I wish you luck. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 3:35:29 AM | Agreed on the breaking up the block message into readable paragraphs.
I would also delete some of the 17 persons on the favorites list you are not interested in. Whilst it's a nice feel good factor to have admirers, some people will see you as too popular and not bother writing. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 5:13:24 AM | Looks fine to me and your pics are fine too ..
.. in fact if I were
(i) twenty years younger , and
(ii) 5000 miles nearer
I would ask you on a date !
Maybe spread it out a little like the guy above said, so the text is not too "blocky"

Posted: 4/3/2009 5:30:16 AM | Looks good...If you arent getting emails, I would suggest changing the age restrictions.....Yes, you probably should have something there to keep 50 year old guys from emailing you, but you are almost 30 and you limit up to 35?
Also, some of the ladies email guys first so always an option. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 8:41:08 AM | All you talk about in your about me is your interests, which is great...but the about me also needs to contain what you are looking for in a guy...personality wise. Your profile is now WAY too spaced out. I would group your profile like this...
Paragraph 1: Talk about your job, or what you are currently working towards or doing. Great place to put goals.
Paragraph 2: Talk about your interests and favorite things.
Paragraph 3: Talk about what you are looking for.
Your pictures are fine, just the profile is too bare. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 8:48:49 AM | Hi there,
What you have looks pretty good to me. Some minor things:
1) I would keep the dog picture. It lets people who are not animal people or allergic (or whatever) to skip you, which is good for both of you. If you lose it, as had been suggested, I'd definitely write that you have dogs.
2) I would fix some of the grammar errors. It gives a conflicting impression when you say you're a teacher and you also have some grammar problems. For example: "Water sports give" instead of "gives", as it's a plural (check Dictionary.com, although of course it could be wrong). "Learning to surf a dream" should probably be "Learning to surf is a dream [of mine]." Occurrence is not spelled "occurance" (although there may be a different spelling in Canadian English, so I apologize if that is the case). This is also ungrammatical: "Most people see me as a well balanced person, am proud to have my act together," you might try instead "Most people see me as a well balanced person; I am proud to have my act together." The last sentence comes across awkward to me but that is probably a matter of style.
All that said, I think your profile is good, and I would certainly not have let any of the preceding deter me from dropping you an introductory note were I a dog person living nearby.
Cheers! | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 2:37:40 AM | | I'd say keep the dogs ONLY if they're massively important to you. For example, you're a great-looking girl, your profile would hook my interest but I have a HUGE phobia of dogs because I got attacked several times as a child... So I'd pass you up because a dog is a deal breaker for me. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 3:06:41 AM | | I would say you have done a wonderful repair job to your profile. and you are a catch. that would be because you are very caring and have a big heart. very rare qualities to find these days. | |

I don't think that there is anything wrong with your profile at all. You are an incredibly beautiful and interesting young lady....
Best Wishes,

Posted: 6/29/2009 9:40:00 AM | | I am sorry but I myself do not look at profiles that have high favorites, this I find a turn off as said [to popular] as I have found on this site there are alot of players. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 10:21:40 AM | First opinion...If your not looking for indie film buffs are anything else having to do with spiritual issues ...you say your non-religious...then try leaving those points out. They will come out during conversations...it seems your Limiting yourself ....
Nice pictures, good writeup, It seems your truthful...you have a surfboard...did I see surfing as an interest? my take
Jim
you could look at mie and give me pointers too... | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 12:39:03 PM | | Hello, I love your profile. You read a very nice person. You could take the mail filter of Musst not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters or sex off though. it is clear you aren't looking for IE but you limit yourself from any guy who may have sent just 1 message to someone looking for IE. My real advice though is to go try and meet someone in one of your vlunteering roles I expect you will get snaped up just like that!! | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 5:29:04 PM | how full do you like your class of water to be ??
1/2 full 1/4 full 3/4 full or full or going over the glass?
what i am saying is some may not like to drink water on it's own
they will like to add other things to the class to give it tast .
there for what ever you put in to the class has to be to your own tast
if you making lots of drink from water and other juce there will always be one who will not like what you have made . what i mean is there is a lot flavours to to pick from . to put in to your class but it has to be what you like at the end of the day . one cant keep adding to the class . it has to stop or you will end up all wet , understand this . | |
