Posted: 7/1/2009 4:49:33 PM | | I'm going to join in on the fun of getting my profile inspected and reviewed, and then brutally criticized. Don't worry, I can take it, that's why I'm posting the request. Self-improvement is a journey anyway. | |

Posted: 7/1/2009 5:05:34 PM | I was so prepared to brutally criticize your profile, but couldn't find anything that needed changing. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even find a typo to correct.
Excellent job :) | |

Posted: 7/1/2009 5:17:18 PM | | Really? Very good then. Yeah I've worked on it a little bit prior to jumping back on the PoF bandwagon so it wouldn't seem like a half-assed profile. Thanks for the input and the thumbs up. | |

Posted: 7/1/2009 7:00:24 PM | | You have an excellent profile! You are open, honest, and funny! The only thing that might hinder some people's abilities to contact you are your restrictions. If you are getting boat load of emails than keep them, but if not than I suggest taking out a couple. It makes it easier for the reader to see if she is able to send you a message. | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 5:57:57 AM | | Very good point, it's something I though about a lot. The reasoning why I kept it is I am looking for a specific woman. I know what I want, and I know what will make me happy, and those are qualities in a woman I seek. But, I'm not stubborn and freely accept change. What do you suggest I remove among those restrictions? | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 6:08:54 AM | | That is a well written profile! It's hard to find anything to nitpick (except too many restrictions which was covered. The talk and hangout restrictions are the ones I'd pull. Who knows where those could lead?) but, ahem, I can always find something. I'd switch your primary photo to one of the others, perhaps the one in the vest. You look older than you actually are in the current primary. It's still a nice shot, I wouldn't remove it entirely, but I wouldn't make it the first one people see either. | |

Excuse the ignorance and just humor me, but which one(s) are you referring to? Thanks in advance for any input.

Indeed, I have been called baby face a hundred too many times, but the benefit is I'll keep my sexy youthful look, even into my 50s...or until they turn on the Large Hadron Collider, then I'll leave behind a young and sexy corpse. | |

When selecting your mail settings, you can choose who you want to restrict by what they're looking for. You selected 'talk/email' and 'hang out', so people who are looking for that can't contact you. I agree that you might want to get rid of those because it's not likely those people will contact you anyway if you're not looking for the same. Also, one never knows for sure what could develop between people who really thought they just wanted to talk or hang out. | |

You reveal too much. You have no mystery
You're being ironic, right? Plus you have no pic, so you have to be ironic.

I see what you mean. Thanks for pointing it out (same goes to kathrynbk and SnarkMeister). | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 8:39:31 AM | How perfect! ==Brutal and unrestricted honesty= is what I'm peddlaing.
Here's a great tip. Look at the posting history of the guy/gal giving you advice. If they've done it for more than 10 people, IGNORE them. 
It's the old some people teach some people do syndrome.
Most of the people pushing advice here couldn't get a guy/girl if they PAID for it. Why do they have so much time to dole out their wisdom, do you think? | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 9:53:15 AM | MisterTee,

LATEST: Not getting much action here. Oh well, I'll just say I'm ONLY HERE FOR THE FORUMS! rotflmao! | |

Sorry, my last post was agreeing with the person who said you have too much info on your profile.. wheres the mystery?
Did you read his profile? His is more revealing and restrictive than mine. That's like the pot calling the kettle black. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 12:56:50 PM | good profile but too long and the glass is half full comment bored me, but only as i have seen or heard it so many times. kinda is on the same par as hearing 'weapons of mass destruction' , ' come on you reds', 'africa needs more charity help to give to the rich out there' , and i would add 'god' to the list if i didnt secretly fear him (i have a compulsive disorder me thinks)
just read the first 5 words :)
p.s cmdrfunk made a valid point. he is happy with his profile i guess and not cradling the advice of others to sweeten his eyes on people telling him how good or bad his profile is. | |

It's the old some people teach some people do syndrome.
Most of the people pushing advice here couldn't get a guy/girl if they PAID for it.
And some of us are in very happy, committed relationships that we didn't even have to pay for, and have a really good idea what works.
Of course, advice from clueless folks might work best for some people too. (In no way is this comment intended to mean that single/available people are all clueless. I'm only referring to the ones who have no idea what they're talking about. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who those people are.)
Although for different reasons, I must agree about reading posting histories. In my opinion, that's one of the very best ways to see what a person is really all about.
The best advice I can offer is this: When asking for and/or receiving advice, take what you need, apply what you can, and discard the rest. | |
