Hey peoples..
Just was wondering what you think of my profile?
I seem to get a few views here and there but not really many emails..
Could someone tell me what the general thought is when looking at my profile..
How is it coming across?
Any tips appreciated
Thanks!

1) Self-taken pictures are generally considered to be "not good". The general school of thought is a pic that shows your face and little else, siling.


You may see me on a quad, but that doesn't mean I'm a redneck that drinks Budweiser.


2) I'd delete that. If you're worried about looking like a "redneck", remove the pic. If you want to keep the pic to illustrate something you enjoy, let it speak for itself. Generally, avoid anything that smacks of negativity.

Also, the pic with your friend Anya hugging you from behind... I think you may want to remove it as well. See if any women comment, but I have a feeling the instantaneous reaction to the picture is negative, not positive, and reading the caption after the fact won't make the initial impression go away.

that guy's a smart guy... you should listen to him ;)

the quad comment doesn't bother me but you should take out the comment about listening to 80's music when you're feeling gay.

I agree with the self pictures... i would almost think to suggest using the iguana pic as your profile cuz its interesting and different

he's right too about taking off the pic with anya... a girls not looking to see you with another girl.

great start! lots of good luck

Definately get rid of the self portrait, the pic with the hot chick and the redneck budweiser line, other than that looks good!

Self portraits 99% of the time male you look silly and immature. Get someone to snap the shot for you if you want one dressed up, or use a camera with a timer.

Even if you are just friends, she is pretty hot and some women may pass you by thinking they can't compete and that you would think them below you.

The redneck comment is just unecessary. I personally would not take offense to it or anything, but it sounds negative, so just get rid of it. The paragraph reads better without it actually.

Good luck, I am sure you will get some responses!
