Slow start? Or is it because I'm mean looking?
Posted: 6/24/2009 12:32:58 AM
I've been on here a few weeks, and i've only gotten a handful of people who have looked at my profile, and I've even taken the initiative and messaged a bunch of people. Given the messages might not have been works of art, I've never even got a reply. Am I not friendly looking enough? =(

Well to be honest, I don't think many girls/ladies would be turned on by a pic with a girl licking a guy...especially considering this is a dating site (that's the last thing a girl interested in you would want to see...another girl licking you lol)...so how about a more "appropriate" pic eh?

Your goal says you only want "Friends" which implies no possibility of a romantic relationship. Is this really what you want?

I'd start by posting a new picture. Just a suggestion.

So I changed around my pictures, and yes, I do know that my main picture doesn't show much of my face, but it's the only recent one I have access to at the moment. I look fairly different from my older pictures as I've lost a tone of weight over the last year.

So any advice not pertaining to changing my picture would be greatly appreciated!

you basically stated you are different but failed to say why.

most are looking for some type of relationship and you closed the door to that with some of your statements, why would a woman want a guy who has no clue what he wants?? doesnt work with girls.

I am a different guy too and it does help to search out those that are also different.....if you are into fantasy stuff and have some goth tendencies then talk about that. Ive written some lets say regular women and didnt get responses, so look for people like yourself.

your words about school are far too long..... they can get the point about that with just a few sentences.

none of my pics are smiling but its not stopping responses..........

I've got a few new pictures, and I'm more content with what I've written in my profile now than I was before. Any suggestions are welcome!

I like the one where you're cannibalized by the children of the corn. Can hardly see your face.

Your photos and your profile are screaming hyperactive/attention deficit. Take a photo where you are in perspective and casual, like your yearbook photo. No wild children, no distorted face because it's too close to the lens. You don't look mean, you look kinda crazed.

Your profile is way too long and filled with weird symbols and "umm". This is not a "minute date" thing like in the movie HITCH, but when I saw all that you wrote, I skipped it completely. I didn't read the whole thing because it's so long, but what I did read was just too "all over the place". RELAX

Pick a couple of important points to put across. Be articulate and concise. Finally, make sure the words are spelled correctly. You get to think about this, so "Um" is totally inappropriate.

You like to "sit around and do nothing. Yay. "??? Seriously? Delete that. Immediately.

Video games are not interactive. You are looking for companionship. Obliterate any mention of video games. Do not EVER speak of them again.

I'm not perfect, and I'm way older than you, but my advice is: get a NICE picture; for the profile: KISS (Keep It Simple, Sweetheart), and GOOD LUCK.
