| just asking for a little profile review
Posted: 6/26/2009 6:57:49 PM | Hey, I just updated my profile, and I'm hoping you guys could give me some tips/pointers. Sometimes I think I come off as mean in my writing, which I tried really hard to avoid in this one, but another set (or another few sets) of eyes always catch something that I didn't. Thanks in advance!

Posted: 6/27/2009 5:22:02 AM | You asked for a review so I will share how your profile "strikes" me and probably other guys. I would add that if you are meeting the kind of men you desire then don't change a thing. If you are Not meeting the kind of guy you desire then consider something different.
Your pics: There is only one pic of you smiling (out of many) so it strikes me that you may not be much fun.
Your discussion of weight: You come off as either demanding or defensive about it. We can see what you look like and those who prefer your body type will contact you.
Your discussion of your preferences in men: This comes off as demanding at first but softens later. You could make it much easier and more inviting by saying something like " I find men who are taller than me to be attractive and limit dating to those in my age group"
Your discussion of tatoos and piercings: Again, its kind of an "in your face" rant. You could just say something like " I have several piercings and tatoos, just a style I prefer at this time".
Your discussion about activities: Very good, its obvious you enjoy a wide variety.
So all in all your profile stikes me ( and maybe others) as a person who is demanding, defensive and stubborn as opposed to fun and easy to get along with. You want a relationship on your "terms" which are non-negotiable, a common theme in your writing. Instead of meeting you to "discover" how things might happen, it would be more of agreeing to your terms or passing your tests. If this is working for you then so be it but I would be surprised.
Sooooooooooo If you want to attract a different set of guys then use a different approach in your profile. Leave the "badass" girl at home. Talk about how we might have fun with you. Talk about how it might be easy to be around you. Present matters about your style (if you must) as things of preference rather than deal breakers. Consider your profile as an invitation rather than a chance to tell the world what you think is right or wrong.
My guess is that in reality you are a ton of fun to be around. Also, you probably can be very kind and thoughtful. You have strong principles (we all do) and they might include things like caring for your friends. So tell us why it would be fun to be around you and great to become your friend. That's the kind of person we want to meet. | |

I think you done a GREAT job of describing yourself!! It really gives a sense of who you are. When you have such a great profile you are more likely to attract guys whom are your type. Thus increasing your chances.
The ONLY thing I would change is correcting the spelling on the word problems, that's it!
Good Luck Fishin!
