Posted: 7/9/2009 3:54:22 PM | | Hey to the gentlemen out there - would please appreciate some honest feedback on my profile. I get a fair amount of emails but not as often from men who are around my age, successful and physically attractive as I would like. Any feedback would be appreciated. If you think height is a factor I would like to know, I am assuming that could be the case but would like honest constructive criticism. Thanks. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 3:58:02 PM | You're optimisic and straight-forward.
Take the 2nd picture and make it your main. The fuzzy picture, if it shows as a thumbnail, doesn't represent you well at all.
Add what you like to do either alone or on a date. Otherwise, not bad at all. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 4:27:39 PM | | I'll rephrase. I am not having a lot of success. Most of the emails I have written are not responded to. Would seriously like some feedback if anyone can help. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 4:30:09 PM | That happens to everyone and has nothing to do with your profile much. Keep trying, keep being outgoing and contact, contact, contact.
Find the people you would like to meet and be brave. (I know women would rather be contacted, but when you've got no bites, you're not going to find anyone waiting.)
Seriously - make that 2nd pic your main. You're very attractive, no question... | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 4:33:28 PM | I actually like your profile. I don't think the height is an issue, because you don't make it one. Believe me, every other tall woman's profile has some disclaimer about how they only want men over a certain height to contact them. As someone 5'11" (a little shorter than you :) ), I wouldn't be intimidated about shooting you an email. But then again, maybe you wouldn't want me to... haha.
Your "about me" section is a little light. You could throw in more little things, and it would give men wanting to write you more material to work with. I know there are times when I want to contact an attractive woman like yourself, but her profile is so light on specifics about her that I just don't have enough material to work with, and I don't want to send something that just says, "Uhhh, hey." You're not nearly that bad, but more fun things about yourself might make the difference.
Good luck! | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 10:03:01 PM | | As Andy noted above, the more detail in your profile description the better. Guys who respond to profile pics won't read it, but any guy serious about finding someone that "fits" him will appreciate it. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 10:32:39 PM | Like everyone said you have a fairly strong profile, but I think I have a few small tips that could help.
First off is paragraphing. A large block of text like you have can be hard to read. Add a few line breaks to separate ideas.
Another idea is maybe giving them more to work with. You list off alot of vague interests and ideals you are looking for. Maybe add a few specifics such as what you teach (I am guessing some kind of science). You also list alot of types of terrain you like (Ocean, Jungle, Africa, ect). Have you done much traveling? If so, tell us where. If not, tell us where you would like to go!
Another thing is I dont believe you need to put that you are looking for an attractive athletic guy. I would just put athletic. I think we are all looking for someone we consider attractive :)
Just on re-observing your ideas do seem to be a little jumbled. Jumping from who you are, to what you are looking for, back to who you are. Maybe try and tell a short story with your profile starting with who you are, some interesting things about you, and finally flowing into what your looking for.
Maybe add another picture you. You are beautiful, and if you have another it would only help. But the two you have up should be more than enough.
I hope my thoughts helped. You seem like quite the interesting person! | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 10:59:04 PM | You're profile is carefully written and you come across as a considerate person. If you're looking to filter out emails and target the typer of person you're after, I suggest being more direct.
You do mention the type of person you're looking for, but its easily missed. It's quite subtle, and gets lost in the middle of your description. I suggest being more direct, and try breaking your description into a few paragraphs. It will be easier to follow.
Height is a factor for many people, and you just won't get emails from people who feel that's important to them. There are many more who don't think it's important though... and plenty of guys are looking for tall girls.
Hope this helps. Good luck. :) | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 5:11:50 AM | Going to parrot the paragraph splitting/expounding.
You like Zoolander, so you can't be a completely horrible person - toss a little more of you into what you say, split it up, and don't be afraid to hunt down a guy either. ;)

Posted: 7/10/2009 5:24:06 AM | | I like the 1st picture but the other two need to go, the 2nd looks like an add and the 3rd is too fuzzy. Your height might be intimidating to someone not over 6' tall. You statement about attractiveness might turn some guys away - it makes it sound like you are only looking for studs - which most of us are not. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 12:09:11 PM | | Thanks guys for all the input. Mostly I am trying to gage the height factor - it is difficult to know what guys think of that. Thanks for your input. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 8:25:23 PM | I get new pictures on there too.
You can't see anything...the film strip one is too small and the last one is way too blury. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 8:43:59 PM | Honestly?
Based on what you're asking for, you're in competition with about 60% of the female audience for about 5% of the male membership. The men you're probably writing to are getting anywhere between three and five emails every day from women on the site.
I'm not telling you to lower your sights..settling is always a bad idea. But the guy you're looking for is a serious catch, and it's going to require effort and perseverance on your part.
Try hanging out in the forums, looking for someone that seems to be what you're looking for, and participate in the ones that they're in.
You might also (if you're not already) try actively looking in places like upscale gyms and good parks (if there are any where you're at). | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 8:55:59 PM | Nautilusexplorer reads like 'Naughty lil Sexplorer' to me, surprised you're not buried with email!
Kidding! Great profile and as the others have said add some better pics, get rid of the slide one. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 9:02:16 PM | I agree with:
1) the reformating point (at one point, you jump to pub, to travel, back to pubs, back to travel ... frankly I was confused),
2) I agree with the last two pictures - they look like your trying to hide something by them being blurry and small,
and I would include:
3) Add some stuff for what you are looking for in a relationship? What are the qualities that you like from a guy that just drives you crazy with passion?
It sounds like a lot, but like G-Man said, you're probably competing to a high selection of guy, and if you want success ... | |
