I have no Fireworks or music happening this July 4th. I just updated my profile (again) and still I'm not getting any offers for a chat or date. What's up with my profile and no fireworks or music yet? Guys help me out. What's missing or whats should I remove? Please help me out with some friendly guy advise.

I got it! Ok so you threw down some interests and that is wonderful! However you need to add in more about who you really are. People looking for true love don't care if you like the same stuff they care about whats past all that. I suppose it's just that what people want to know are the answers to the questions we ourselves can not answer. Try asking those close to you.

Your mail restrictions say "must not be looking for dating," "must not be looking for long term" etc. I don't think there is anything left! You are preventing pretty much every guy on the site from emailing you.

"lookn4ever The Shark: Live, Love and Laugh!"

1. Most guys in the range you are looking for wouldn't want someone who's 'looking for ever'.
2. Sharks are NOT "adorable". admirable maybe, but I wouldn't wanna play with one, no matter how old or how much of a daredevil I am.
3. Sharks do NOT live love and laugh. They chase, kill and eat.

Try assuming a different fish personality.
Your tagline will turn most people off. It might attract a game hunter or a ranger lol

Second, you have a LOT of restrictions. I didn't even bother reading through it all. It creates a first impression that you're quite finicky. It's good to be specific, but not too specific. Give people some leeway lol. Get rid of the looong list of rules.

Guys you date are not students from the university where ya work ;)

Don't weat the small stuff

contains a typo.

Should be "Don't sweat the small stuff."

remove the restrictions on who can contact to - age and must be American. You will figure out the rest easily enough, ya gotta start with hello.

To appeal to a broader range of men - I would take the "god" bit out of the interests column.
A lot of men are really wary of Jesus freaks that put the relation to the church, pastor and God way ahead of every other relationship.

Sort the guys after you meet, not before, and let the process of discovery determine how far you go.

No is a pretty easy word, and it works.

Just my thoughts as an observer.

Also be patient, mention your willingness to relocate if it exists, and maybe more on your cultural beliefs?

Nebraska is thinly populated, and your age group is not in the prime sector, so the pool is small.

junk your profile so you can get a new user name. your current one makes you sound desperate. you want a long-term relationship, but you've blocked men who also want that from emailing you. that's as fatal an error as you can make on this site.

come up with a new headline. 'live love laugh' and its variations are on thousands of other profiles, and one of the worst things you can do is be like everyone else. try for funny, witty, light.

throw in the essentials about your kids: number, ages, custody arrangement.

Haha, OP, she's right. The ONLY men on this site who can email you are those seeking an activity partner.

I did a little research. Here's the size of your dating pool: Total number of men, age 20 - 60, within a 75 mile radius of Springfield, NE, looking for "Activity Partner":

2.

So, you can go out with 2 men.

Maybe.

Wow, thank you for your help. I like it!

first; I didn't realize that I put so many restriction on my profile
second; should I really start over? I can, cause I am a pretty funny gal. And if “lookn4ever” is that bad I will.

Thanks to all you sweet~hearts for helping me out.

PS, the darn "S" on sweat just won't stay. I fixed it again, I hope....

No need to start over. You can change your username any time you want (I should know -- I do it frequently).

I agree with the poster above who feels that your username doesn't ring the right tone. You're a pretty funny gal -- come up with a funny username. :)

From the top menu, choose "Mail/Profile", then "Profile: Edit", then scroll down to the username field, change it, then click "update regsitration".
