Hi all, I'm new to this on-line dating. I need some reviews. Please be brutally honest. I have very thick skin and can take it. Did I ramble on too much? Do my pictures suck? What kind of pictures would you want to see (Caveat: I'm not that photogenic). Professional (Slacks and nice shirt - office setting)? Action photo's (sports, swimming, running, etc)? Home photo's? Believe me when I say that dating is more terrorifying than flying thru the Khyber Pass!

Hi, OP.

First priority is to take your "about me" section and break it down into at least 3 -4 separate paragraphs. Your single paragraph format is very difficult to read, and won't hold the attention of most who view your profile.

Your 4th pic would be a good choice for your main photo.

I didn't read any of if. Break it up. Some, like myself, look at a wall of words and click next.

Thanks Lucid! When the time comes to change it, I will. I don't want to be disingenuous to anyone. I want to be honest and up-front.

"Germany", "Italy" and "Gardening" should be in your Interests field so they can be searched and you can be 'found'!

This is a much easier read for us old broads (thank you!) and it says a lot about you. Too bad you're just Looking For: Friends for now, but it makes sense if you're going to be away so much. However - if you're not looking for a romantic partner, why the First Date idea? A bit confusing to the viewer .....

Other than a couple of very minor typos (you'll find them), nicely done!

I agree with the previous poster regarding the first date section.

Between that and "If I'm not what you want or vice versa, we'll at least part friends. " I was very confused on exactly what it is you are looking for.

served a nice diner

Correct the spelling to dinner.

I'd still encourage you to add those extra words in your Interests field. Other users can search by related interests (easiest way to find things in common) and you can consider it your 'appetizer' to your profile 'entree'.
