| Giving in to the urge...
Posted: 7/5/2009 12:49:05 PM | OK, so, after spending a chunk of time recently reviewing others' profiles, I am feeling this growing urge to have mine reviewed in turn.
Actually, I'm not unhappy with it right now, but I'm just curious as to what people would say, and I'm giving in to the urge!
Have at it!
Thanks! | |

Well-written and nice variety of photos. Not sure what feedback I could offer beyond having a paragraph describing your prospective date. | |

Minor points - take or leave as you wish.
Headline - stroll through some of the other forums and you will quickly realize that "nice guy" has a negative connotation for many people. I.e. "nice guy" = whining, spineless doormat, often with a side of bitter ("Why did she leave me? I'm so niiiiice...! Why do girls only want the guys who treat them bad...?" You get the picture). Your call on whether to use it, but do be aware it might be sending a message you aren't aware of.
Pictures - very good collection. I like #3 (April 2009) best for your main shot. It has better clarity and lighting, and you have a warm expression on your face. Also, no hat - this is a good thing.
Your About Me is really well-written, it gives a very good sense of who you are, and conveys that you are happy with who you are. Well done. You could possibly add in a bit more specifics about the kind of woman you'd like to meet, but I think it's fine as is.
Since I'm a word geek I'd like to see you capitalize your Interests, but that's me... I don't think it takes away from the overall profile (unless your target market includes word geeks who would notice such a thing).
I think you could do a bit more with your first date section. Again, fine as is - but you seem like an interesting guy and I bet you could come up with a few more ideas. What if the weather isn't nice? Not everybody likes going for walks - personally, I like to see the face and expression of the person I'm meeting, so coffee/drinks/snack are my preference.
My two cents - but it's already great as is!

Nicely done! | |
