I'm starting to get a little iffy about this profile site. I have been on here awhile like some of the others that have posted. I hardly get emails, and though I do usually write one liners; I receive a lot of "read, DELETE" messages. I changed my profile once, and my pictures I've changed a few times. Not sure what the deal is other then maybe I'm a mutant or something from another planet at this point.

I'd rework the profile but I don't think it's going to help much.

I think the problem is that your about me section does not really say much about you and says nothing of the lady you want to meet. Check the profile writing tips.

Delete “In all honesty...
I believe.”

Delete “If you want to know more, I suggest sending me an email.”
The ladies already know this and few make first contact.

First date, make a suggestion. A couple of drinks works well and can be extended if things are going well.

All the best.

I'm not sure that few make first contact - I think it depends what we give them to go from.

47 women have contacted me first. 14 women have been contacted by me.

And I'm a guy who spends a lot of time with his profile hidden - I just don't like spreading myself too thin; and had been literally focusing on one woman at a time until the past few weeks.

YMMV SPSFD

Maybe I'm just picky or don't expect thousands of emails?

That being said, yes - improve your profile because I'm pretty sure we're all from the same planet (except maybe for that one woman I dated who thinks she was abducted) ;)

Oh, and if you don't limit "intimate encounters" from contacting you, some women will see that and will likely just move along.

I guess I could rework the profile and put more time into it. Emailing people doesn't seem to work at all.

You should get rid of the photo with you and your friends and post a full body shot of just you. Your primary picture has a yellow tint to it. Can you color correct it or take a new picture with correct colors?

In all honesty... - Delete.

I'll pretty much go anywhere and enjoy anything. - I seriously doubt this. Tell us some of your favorite places to go and things to do.

I won't BS you. - Delete.

If you want to know more, I suggest sending me an email. - Delete. Women already know to contact you if they are interested.

Tell us about your goals and ambitions in life. You are in Customer Service. Is that something you are excited about? Do you enjoy helping your customers?

Write a paragraph about the woman you'd like to meet.

Yep, the return on emailing ladies is not great. Random email likely gets you 10 to 20% return if you have a good profile. I find the best results come from sending an email to those who have checked your profile. That at least says they liked your photo.

You doubt that I would go anywhere? Really you can tell that just from what I posted? How? Do you even know me? :)

I never noticed the yellow tint, but its hard to take a picture of yourself. The one with my friends was taken at a concert, I didn't think it was too bad. I'll work on it.

Thanks for the advice I'll look into it a bit more. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
