| profile review - please?
Posted: 6/15/2009 6:41:28 AM | | I think I'm a fairly interesting person with some things to bring to the table, but my profile gets very little attention (as far as I can tell). Suggestions and feedback would be oh, so very welcome! | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:55:30 AM | Overall you have a good profile. Your photos are good, you write well and your sense of humor comes through.
*** I miss POF IM! Feel free to email me, I'd love to hear from you! ***
*** And about that "VIP" (or "serious member") thing - it was a free upgrade offered that I did not request. As far as I can tell, the only thing it does is put that icon on my profile and give me unlimited gift points *** - Delete all this. It says nothing about you.
Non-smoking - Delete. Repeated information
NASCAR and Harley-D not spoken here. - Delete. Tell us what you do like, not what you don't.
You should be e-mailing the guys that interest you. | |

I actually email guys that interest me frequently; very few respond and none seem to be interested (this in the first response!). I've tried different approaches to the emails, from short ("I'm interested") to detailed - responding directly to various things in their profiles.
I'll make the suggested changes... | |

Posted: 6/15/2009 8:43:01 AM | I think you have a very nice profile. It is really hard to say what makes a person respond. Sometimes I get responses to almost all the notes I send and then there are times when no one responds.
It seems that few ladies initiate contact so if you do, you might gain an upper hand. I always respond even if I do not feel we have much in common.
A very personal preference of mine is a bit longer hair on a lady. I have no idea if that is a general male preference or not.
Not sure about the profession part.
At your age most people are done having more babies but leave that as you wish.
Ooh yes I have pushed on those doors that say pull and pulled on those that say push.

Posted: 6/15/2009 2:01:28 PM | OP...
I LOVE your profile. So I'm going to take the time to rip it apart.
*** I miss POF IM! Feel free to email me, I'd love to hear from you! ***
*** And about that "VIP" (or "serious member") thing - it was a free upgrade offered that I did not request. As far as I can tell, the only thing it does is put that icon on my profile and give me unlimited gift points ***
Put this at the bottom.

Put this at the top. It's a great attention-getter.
The rest is wonderful and well written. I would suggest using a different pic for your main picture......
I think your pics for the most part are great. Varied - you have a nice smile that you're displaying to full effect. The only other suggestion I would make would be to have a pic with other people, or doing something fun. Something like the one you have in New Mexico but a bit less static.
Once again, I loved your profile. I think it could only use a little bit of minor tweaking.
Good luck and good fishing.

Posted: 6/15/2009 6:58:10 PM | Hey Josh- Thanks for the suggestions, AND the compliment on the profile. Which picture would you suggest for the main one? I'll have to look for the "fun" one...
Otherwise, I've made the changes you suggested.
Thanks!

Posted: 6/23/2009 8:23:29 AM | | If I were a man, I'd feel I couldn't live up to all the things you want from me. Try telling men what you can give, rather than what you want to receive. Instead of saying, for example, "I'm a good listener", say "I'll be there for you when the going gets tough," . Get rid of all the references to "I want" and replace it with "I can give". Remove the word "real". It would make me feel I could never be good enough for you. I hope these suggestions are helpful. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 8:32:05 AM | | I can't say I like it. It really doesn't give me a great idea of who you are, as it just as the things that are in every profile, i.e., "I'm great, I want someone great, btw I like movies and my kids." There's nothing that really stands out for me. | |

You should be initiating contact with the guys that interest you. What kind of response rate are you getting? | |
|

Posted: 7/3/2009 8:57:18 PM | | I initiate contact all the time! If I get any response at all, it's "not interested" It's really pretty discouraging. | |
