Posted: 6/22/2009 9:19:20 PM | OK, as long as its in a constructive manner I won't get my feelings hurt. I've been on here for about 2 weeks and have sent out many messages and I haven't even gotten a single response back??? I'm ready to abandon this whole idea but thought I could get some constructive criticism first. Thanks, in advance!

Posted: 6/22/2009 9:35:45 PM | To start, there are some minor spelling/grammar issues in your profile. You also wrote a few awkward things, like "I love people," which made me scratch my head until you elaborated.
Other than that, I don't see anything glaring. The fact that you're a massage therapist should earn you major points. Two weeks isn't that long. Have you considered the type of people that you're messaging and what you're writing to them? | |

Would love any other critics. Thanks. | |

Though I guess it is good to show pics in all settings, not just the river.
I also say, it is good to tell people just want you want. My profile describes me pretty well, and I do get incoming emails, not just replies.
Keep your emails short. If a woman has a lot to read, she wants to get to the point, I'd think. That and you don't want to write a long email that she may just delete. Works for me. I get about a 40% response rate. Just use "hey" in the subject line. That is what most women do. | |

Your block of text isn't very reader friendly. Break it up into paragraphs for eye appeal.
I would capitalize Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Salsa in your interests, incase is two words & bare should be bear but overall your spelling, capitalization, etc is better than 90% of the profiles I've read on here.
Overall I think you have a good profile it just needs a bit of polishing. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 3:55:55 PM | from a girls point of view... maybe your intro emails to people aren't saying anything... cuz your profile looks good!
I know when i get emails and all they say is "hey you look fun lets talk", i'm like ummmmm okay talk about what? show some interest in what her profile said so she knows what you're thinking.
"your profile looked great... i'd love to hear more about your interest in traveling, my favorite trip so far is to istanbul, what about you?"
or
"wow that picture of you and the giant sulpture of garth brooks made of butter is hilarious... i'd love to hear more about it. "
you know what i mean? | |

As a newbie, you may not know that it's pretty normal for guys to not get responses. Most men with good profiles report about 10% response rate. Don't stress over the non-responders; it just means they are not interested for whatever reason.
Be patient and don't rely on the Internet as your only venue for meeting women. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 7:32:36 PM | | Did you do that on purpose for your headline? It's making me mental...... but perhaps that's what you intended!? If you did, that's just evil! If not, you know you have to finish the sentence. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 7:46:41 PM | | hmmmm, actually it did say "please resist the happy ending jokes". But maybe it was cut because of the sexual references? Thanks for pointing it out. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 8:10:36 PM | Lose the river picture, it looks to soft. Also you mention being a massage therapist, I would leave that out for now. I would never get involved with a man that has their hands on other women.......I guess thats just me.

Posted: 6/23/2009 8:55:47 PM | i disagree... your job is what you do and if you can't tell that upfront than i'd be worried... and heck i'd be thrilled to date a massage therapist in hopes of getting frequent foot rubs. I'm a pretty trusting person, that if its a good relationship you'll know that work is work and it wouldnt' bother me.
I guess blondie and i are looking for different types of guys too cuz i like the river picture..
now we are probably just confusing you huh? | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:41:52 PM | I like your pictures and your profile ( at least the update one I saw). I, too like the fact of knowing your profession, but for some reason I am bothered by "Man-sseuse". Perhaps it is because it made me look twice to see if you were looking for a woman or a man. The earlier suggestion of a name change sounds like a good idea to me. Good luck fishing | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 11:00:38 PM | | hmmm, that's an interesting assessment. I figured Male + Masseuse = man-sseuse was pretty clear without any gay connotations. I'll think about changing it. Thanks for the opinion! | |
