What is wrong with my profile? Why am I not getting any replies?1

My best guess is that women don't find me physically attractive or are racist. Should I just give up?

I message women who I think would be interested in me based on what they say in their profile. I don't message women that say something that indicates that they would clearly not be interested in me. I do not write generic messages. I try to be witty but that's sometimes difficult to communicate through text. I see that several women have viewed my profile . . .

People that know me love me, I have lots of friends, many of them women. I feel like if I could talk to someone my personality would shine and they would like me. But I am discouraged because it seems like no women will even give me the slightest chance. I mean, just a chance is what I'm asking for. I sometimes think that women may be way too picky but then I see women getting together with the biggest losers.

I just don't know . . . ther's something I'm not getting. Either that or I'm to ugly to love. ???

Well, don't give up just yet. I would add a few more pictures, beef up the interests and try to share just a bit more about yourself. I wish I had a good example for you. You might want to check out a few profiles for ideas.

Beno,

Hmmm, you call us homos and tell us we aint got no game and that you get all kinds of mail. It would appear to me that you are on exactly ZERO favorites lists. Maybe it's you who aint got no game.

Unlike many others on here, I do not profess to have any surefire solutions because I know how patronizing that can be. In my everyday life I'm constantly bombarded with pointers from friends and associates, but we're all different and what works for some people does not always work for others. If finding a woman who likes you for you was simple then men wouldn't take so much pride in it. Be who you are and if a woman doesn't like that then she's not for you.

Don't give up. There's someone for everyone. May I make a few suggestions....
Change your main photo. Women want to see your face clearly and in focus with a normal, friendly expression. Add more photos so that women can get a sense of who you are. Somehow your current photo does not match your username. I would shorten it. And avoid saying anything that puts yourself down. Confidence is very attractive.

Okay... First off your one and only picture is bad. It looks like the act of smiling is painful to you! You are forcing a smile not smiling.

Second your interests...

Interests: cinema, music, enlightenment, life, art,

... make you sound kinda flakey. Life? Enlightenment? Make not mistake there is nothing wrong with enlightenment and life, but all of the things that you have are just words, not interests. For instance music. Do you play an instrument? Are you in a band? Do you write? Are you an expert in jazz or classical composers? Do you attend lots of concerts on a regular basis or are you just a guy that turns on the radio in the car and listens to whatever is on your favorite station? You did not say anything. What the heck does an interest in 'life' even mean? You need to list some actual interests.


About MeI am smart and witty, sarcastic and silly, but can be serious and intense.

Oh. You mean you are like absolutely every other person on the planet. We can all be these things at sometime or another. How about talking about some of the UNIQUE things that make you who you are? Personally, I believe that you should never refer to yourself as smart, witty, or funny. Display and demonstrate those qualities and let the reader decide what stands out to them. The first thing that struck me after reading that you are smart was that the 'word' before it was lacking a comma and had no space between the 'me' and 'I'. True enough it means nothing. A simple grammatical error, but you se ta standard by say how smart you are and then failed to met it in that very sentence. Kinda like saying that you are intelligent and then miss spelling intelligent.

I am always genuine and willing to be open and honest.

Drop this. Those that are genuine do not need to advertise it and willing to be honest is not the same as being honest. No one suspected otherwise until you mentioned it.


I am seeking someone with similar qualities.

Similar to what? The qualities that you listed are base line (honesty) or are possessed by everyone (smart, silly, serious). List some actual solid traits and qualities that you would find attractive. Are they an outdoorsy type person? are they artistic? Are they into sports? Would they prefer to spend the evening clubbing or at an opera?

I want to meet someone who gets me and who I get. Someone who's interesting and interested.

You and everyone else buddy. So far eveything that you have said is just filler.

By interested, I mean interested in Life. Interested in creating and choosing your own adventure.

Blah blah blah. More filler. You said nothing. By choosing their own adventure do you mean robbing liquor stores? Or divesting themselves of all property and travelling the world or do you mean going picking seasonal fruit and trying new foods? We don't know you, so we don't know what an adventure is to you.

Also, someone who shares my interests would be cool. My primary interests include; cinema, music, art, travel, cuisine, trying new things.

At some point you need to say something solid. We do not know what your interests are. Cinema could equal animal porn. music, do mean mean learning to play, the history of (going to Graceland or the Motown muesem) or just liking the radio station that you like. Art. Do you paint, Sculpt, Draw, go to openings or spray paint out of your butt on canvas as performance art?? Are you with me here? you are just saying general 'words' that you think sound good but are actually so vague as to mean nothing because they share no information about you with the reader.

My tastes in music and film tend to lean toward indie/foreign/classic stuff.

Again just vague. Indie is anything not mainstream. Just because it's indie does not make it a style. Are you into indie horror or indie urban documentary? Same with foreign. Both French and african are foreign but still quite different.

I'm not really into sports or video games or comic books or stuff like that.

We don't care to hearwhat you don't like at ths point... although interestingly enough, for the first time you are specific about something.


I'm originally from Brooklyn, NYC. I moved to NoVA 4 years ago for my job. I miss New York City.

Not too bad but, What is your job? I am sure that you do not hire yourself out as a television. Do you repair tvs, are you a camera person or producer or are you a local on air celebrity? TV is not a job. It's both a mediem and a piece of equptment.

But, half of my family actually lives in Virginia now which is good. I recently became godfather to my great-nephew. :)

No one cares. Save it for conversation.



Personally, I want to find a good match, meet, date and see where it goes from there. Ultimately, I really want to get to know someone deeply. I'm not really interested in casual dating. I'm not looking to get married right away either. But yeah, a relationship is what I want (with the right woman).

You and everyone else. Drop this entire thing.


I want a life filled with passion and creativity, not regrets.

I have to say that your profile is one that says the opposite. You do not even put yourself out there in your profile, so when I read this I am suspect of how true this actually is. You come off as quite blah in your profile and you can't even smile in your picture. The 180 dgree opposite of passion and creativity.

I want something real. I'm not interested in people who are superficial, shallow, or prejudiced.

As opposed to the rest of the world that wants something fake, with a superficial, shallow and prejudiced person?? Drop this.

As you can see in my opinion you have quite a bit of work to do. I am sure that the issue is neither your looks or that the rest of the world is racist.

yeah, I know. That's why I'm out. The internet thing has never worked for me, it's just not my thing I guess. I should have better luck in the real world. Remember that place?
