Honest opinions wanted - I'm new at this.
Posted: 8/11/2009 8:53:46 PM
Hi all,

I was wondering what you thought. This is more or less my first attempt at writing a profile, and I'd be interested to know how it comes across. I'd love to hear whatever you have to say, good or bad.

Also, which of the pictures do you think would go best as the main one? If they were larger, I would go with the second one, but I'm not sure how nice it looks at that size.

And lastly, I'll be going to Toronto for school in Sept., but I'm not there yet. I just sort of mentioned it at the end. Any thoughts on how best to fit that in? I'm not planning on messaging too many people until I get there, but it would still be nice to know.

Thanks everyone!

I like your opening. It's pretty original. Kinda funny. Some people might not agree though.

Overall it's a pretty good profile, but you should maybe explain a little of the characteristics you're looking for in a woman?

Your profile pic is fine, but you can always change it to the second one. Lots of people have smaller main pics - either way I'm sure you'll get clicks on your profile and they'll look at all of them anyway.

No obvious red flags that I could see.

I wouldn't wait until you get to TO to start messaging people - maybe start making possible new friends a week or so before you arrive? Most women will probably not want to meet you sooner than that (although there's always exceptions) so by chatting them up sooner you're not really wasting any time. Plus then you can do some touristy type things for your meets/dates and have them show you around a bit before school starts?

Good luck and happy fishing dude.

Thanks for the pointers, and the encouragement. I'll think about what to write for "what I'm looking for".

Hi again,

I've rewritten a bunch of it on the advice of someone who responded privately. What do you guys think of the new format? I also added a bit about what I'm looking for, and am still trying to think of how to add a bit there.

Profile looks good. At this point it is all about lady luck and who you message.
