Hey! Been on POF for about a month or so. I enjoy it, but I haven't had any dates (which is the main reason why I'm on here). Is there anything I need to improve on my profile. I tried my hardest to be honest and as descriptive as possible. Any advice would help. Thank you!!

You have a very well put together profile and you are attractive. If you were a bit closer I would definitely ask you out.

That being said, you might want to fix a few grammatical errors and not type in text talk at certain points. People that are serious at dating don't like hearing Holla as a customary greeting. Also putting only a few sentences per paragraph would make for easier reading. GL QT.

Your photos are super cute. Your content is descriptive and engaging. I think you have a fantastic profile.

There's just one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me. It could be because of demographics. I'm from the east coast and may not understand this. Your profession, as a semi-professional goat rancher, may be what's turning the guys off.

If I were you, I'd change it to 'Student', or 'Other'. During actual communication, you can explain what you do.

BTW... do you make goats milk soap on the farm?

Hmmm soo ur a semi-pro goat rancher? I would maybe date a professional goat rancher but never a semi-pro loser! Maybe u should try to move up in the goating industry or just lie..
You also say, "I want...." way tooo much in ur profile.. You know what I want? I want u to stop that before I throw up..
You may wanna change one of ur pics on ur profile; you and ur friend look like dogs....
Best of luck to you,
Taco

break up the two large paragraphs you have going. Keep each at a max of 5 sentences.

The problem is that people usually will read the first couple of sentences out of each paragraph so having four short ones (divided up by topic) works a lot better than two long ones. Even while reviewing it I couldn't get myself to finish each paragraph.

Overall, I think your profile reads very dense. You have to read it fairly slowly to understand it.

Your lists of wants is very long and I could see it as a big turn off. You have nice pics, but I would stop reading once I got 1/3 the way through the second paragraph. Maybe you should just talk about your top 5 wants in a man??? Listing what you want can actually be a way to attract men, assuming it's done right.

You have nice pictures And the content of your profile seemed alright.

I would work on formatting. A couple of other people mentioned it: split your larger paragraphs into a few smaller ones. They'll be much easier to read, right now they're a bit of a struggle to get through.

Also, I would change your interests to lower case from caps lock. WRITING LIKE THIS makes it seem like your shouting.

Good luck!
