Just wondering what men are looking for and what makes you send us emails?

1. attractive photo
2. interests
3. sexy comments
4. values
5. intelligence
6. sense of humor
7. similar life style
8. age
....

I think my profile is boring, but not sure how to show my personality. I'm a bad writer and too serious in my profile. Is it my age, religion, photo, interests, lack of humor, etc? Would love input. Thanks

All of those and if she has kids and where she lives.

You should go to the Profile Review Forum...there are a lot of people that will help you out with your profile.

It really depends on what type of man you're after. Different men want different things. This is especially important for profile photos. Provocative photos will get you intimate encounter responses. Artistic photos (sepia, B&W, unusual camera angles) will usually get my attention far better than run of the mill standing up photos.

Outside of photos, I look for intelligence, humour, and desired outcome, but that's just me.

Personally, the first things I look for in a profile are intelligence and some evidence of self-awareness and self-reflection. Values need to be compatible (and I'll include things like activity level, orientation toward health/fitness, etc., in values). Photos are not the most important thing for me.

I think your profile seems authentic. For the visual guys out there, you probably should add some additional photos, candid, not posed, and including one that satisfies the near-obligatory "full body" requirement.

Cute pics w/gratuitous cleavage always gets my attention. Pics of kids, critters, and scenery are a turn off and usually cause me to pass you by.

I just think those are inappropriate for an adult dating website

I think the general male is going to look at your picture obviously because we are victims of visual stimulation. Depending what you want Intimate Encounter - Sexy pictures geared to those looking to please that sexual itch in their minds. Friend/ Email / Talk - something to show you in a natural setting that you are comfortable and happy with. Dating or long term obviously is going to be more gearing yourself into a soft or sweet picture with nothing too extreme.

But 9/10 guys on a dating site will look to the picture first its a psychological hinge in a mans mind after that tailor your profile based on your qualities and list them in order not only as they are important to you but also to those you wish to attract

A nice picture catches my eye. A well written profile that seems honest, original and interesting keeps my attention. I don't date smokers and I usually don't pursue women who aren't fairly close to me in age. Everything else is just details.

msg1.

If a person has a clear sense of anything.
If they participate in discussions (forums)

I would suggest that if you wan't to show your personality work on your writing. That is the medium of expression here. With some practice you will be able to express yourself perfectly.

And Idea or two:

There is no such thing as "too serious", if you have something to say and its of importance to you as a person let the reader judge if that value is shared. Thus bearing "serious consideration" of contacting you about an opinion of theirs. Any.

Bombing your expression runway before that plane takes off, is about as helpfull to a person whom wants to have any meaningful relationship, as rubbing animal feces on your face then expecting to be kissed.

My advice, be whom you are. And do not let yourself be undone, based on a potential opinion of that reality.

A creative, entertaining profile. e.g. funny pics, interesting story, weird hobbies, bizarre rant.

For me, it's intelligence and humor. You usually can't have one without the other.

I mean, a pretty face is nice -- it's attractive, obviously. But the real sticky part of a profile (for me) is how a woman convey's her self-confidence. There's just nothing sexier than a woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants, and she's completely comfortable with where she is in life.

Personally the above order is what I look for. I have to be physically attracted to the person hence why the picture comes first.

Sense of humour is always good. Go with a nice smiley thumbnail; the nature of this site means chances are it's the first thing people will see. Be yourself too.

There are some women with flair to their profiles that I find irresistable. Not sexuality, dirtiness, but just fun personalities that stick out with the way they write :-)
