I would like an honest review of my profile as it has not been successful. I am wondering if there is something wrong with it that I am not aware of. Maybe something I have written or not written, or maybe just bad photos.

hmmm. IMHO, your profile is too "thin".
Maybe you could be a little more elaborate as to who you are and the type of women you would like to meet?

I would suggest that instead of saying "I am easy going," give an example. Say "I'm the type person who would......." Vague phrases like easy going, open-minded, and simple things in life mean different things to different people. Giving examples will fill out your profile some and give the reader a glimpse of your personality.

Good luck !!

I would definitely add some more info. Your "about me" is exactly five sentences! The only reason you might be willing to send a message to a lady with five sentences is if she looked like a super model or had some other attribute that really caught your eye.

For the rest of us, something that helps you stand out is needed. Three out of five pics are blurry, and I would not keep the pic of you laying down (sends a different message than long-term). Expand a bit on your likes and dislikes, why you are a good catch, favorite activities, etc. This sounded silly to me at first, but it helped me to understand what I was looking for, too. For example, I really love jazz music and dancing, and I make it a point to include these items in both my interests and in the "about me" section because I want to talk to gentlemen that also like jazz music and dancing.

Good luck, hope this helps...
