I believe the subject says it all...but for those who don't speak nerd it means if my profile perfect for depicting what I want or is it not quite right? Help me form it into something to help me find my soul mate!

OK, your main problem is that you've got just about every mail restriction there is. It's like Kilimanjaro! *xvermonter wondering if even SHE could message you* You need to remove about half of them and leave just the ones that are absolute deal breakers for you. Remember, these are just restrictions for who can MESSAGE you, not DATE you. As in the "real world", you are under no obligation to reply to any unsavory emails.

You say you are a model, yet those are the best photos you can come up with? People are going to wonder if you really ARE a model. It's never a good idea to have a photo of you with a member of the opposite sex, it will just turn women off. In your main photo, we can hardly even see you. Getting some decent photos will be your first order of business.

Dude- how do you expect to get any play if no one can SEE you?? Seriously, I can't see you in your pics...I need you to go out on a sunny day, stand facing the sun, lift up your camera and "click"!!!! And don't forget to smile!!! Women like nerds-BUT-they do not like sad, depressed looking nerds...they like peppy, happy, dorky nerds! Live up to your nerdness! Let it shine through!!!! :)

If I were in your age range I'd say what the obvious turn-offs (not to mention contradictions) are in your profile. But, I'm old enough to be your mother so I'm not, ahem, allowed to respond.

Sheesh kid. Grow up.

Well you're not my age I suggest finding yourself something nice to wear at Lands' End for the summer to attract some one at the beaches =\. Be sides why the heck would I wanna grow up when it just turns me into a mean grouch?

Growing up and being mature is not always the same thing.

I would do a total re-write and put some thought into why a woman would click contact after reading it...

Once again I'm looking for people that can see past obvious flaws. I'm not going to lie about myself on the profile. I'm simply wondering if my current profile demonstrates that desire NOT if YOU personally think it would make a woman click yes. That is the exact opposite of what I am trying to accomplish.

Per your profile you are not a nerd. Best you can claim is a geek. Not even sure about that since your profile neither describes nor claims any technical or intellectual knowledge base or skill.

Age makes one grouchy? Interesting since your profile itself is condescending and insulting, you fired the first shot in your thread title (you may also want to read the forum rules about restricting responses), and I fully grasp the “Lands End” quip. Maybe there's a reason people don't compliment your 'inner beauty'?

Since you’re studying to be a teacher (of what?) you may want to develop spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, logic, and communication skills. And grow a thicker skin. Don’t believe me or think I’m just a mean old lady? Ask a teacher and you’ll learn the truth about the profession.

You asked if your profile was perfect or not quite right – answer: not quite right. You asked for help forming into what might attract your soulmate but then criticize and reject advice other than about pictures and mail restrictions. Sort of suggests you don’t actually care what your words project, only what your pictures project. That in itself provides a clear idea of what kind of girl you want to attract.

You make the same mistake many newbies, particularly young newbies make by thinking only someone like you can ‘get’ you. A profile is a piece of writing with ‘rules’ for structure and content. The rules do not strip your voice, they do not force you to lie, they facilitate letting your best side shine through. Many of us have not only read hundreds of profiles, we’ve written profiles that work. XV is one who provides very good advice on profile reviews.

In the final analysis, though, read enough of these requests for profile reviews and read enough profiles and you’ll find you’re just not that unique. Sorry.

Woah, buddy. SO much negativity. You're really cute, but your negative, elitist attitude is a major turnoff! I think you'll find if you cut out the bits that read anything like "If you're _____ then don't bother" you'll have much more luck. :)

I am pretty cliche


I think that line sums up your entire profile. It's a typical type a lot of words which tell us nothing about you. Especially the 'unique' paragraph. You know what, everyone is just like that to varying degrees in each of your oxymoron statements. Since you have no qualifying details to back it up, you have just jumped into the pool of boringly and negatively generic.

You claim nerd, but only back up is generic reference to gaming and anime. No mention of genres or platforms. You briefly touch on music, but we're left wondering whether is is indeed Indie or Emo that you prefer.

Why not rewrite it and actually give some details into who you are. Being vague and negative such as you have been will NOT help you at all.

Someone who IS your age,

Mike
