I read in the forums that many profiles are full of deceitful lines, and false characterizations about he person. But I wonder... Just how much truth do women really want in reading a profile? I just redid mine. Not that my old one was not truthful, it was VERY. But it did not tell the whole story. Will this one turn off or put off women that may want friendship or more?
I just can't live with a lie and find it hard to hide what's in my heart.
Curious of what women think of it.

Honestly, I stopped reading after your 3rd paragraph...RED FLAG...this guy is carrying baggage and no one man or woman wants to meet up with someone who hasn't dealt with his sh*t regardless if it's for friendship or more...

Personally, I live in the 'today' NOT the 'past'.

Suggestion is for you to re-do your profile again.

Thank you for your point of view mystic luv. However I surely don't agree with it. Sure I have baggage. Show me someone tha doesn't and I'll show you someone that never was in love. Baggage can be put away when in the company of the right partner. It's not a dead end as some may think it is.
I do live in the "today" and not the past. Feelings for someone does not automatically put a perosn in the category of living in the past. And those feelings don't just go away. In the mean time, no sense in being alone. I look at this BS about taking time to heal as giving up on life instead of living it. Besides, I'm not getting any younger.
I'd bet there are women that are in the same situation I am with their feelings, yet want the company of a man. As for dealing with my "sh*t", as you put it, I deal with it everyday. It has not crippled me. I just would rather be honest about it and be happy that I don't lie or hide my emotions.
Hey if it does nto work or meet with understanding, I will of course re do it again. But I do want to see just hgow honest women really want a man to be.

You asked for women to comment on your profile, yet when Mystic Luv
gave you her honest opinion, you felt the need to provide a rather long explanation in your post as to why you are rejecting her comments! Hmmmmmm.

With that in mind, I'm not going to bother taking the time to give my opinion about your profile, knowing that you will indeed have some rather lengthy explanation as to why my comments are unfounded and offbase.

Best of luck to you!

Shorten it. I can only speak for myself, but the last thing I want to do is read a book when I'm browsing. Make it short, sweet and interest-peaking (and yes, honest!).

Bottom line is, I for one, do not take any steps back, do not stand still and a great believer in 'things happen for a reason in life' and ALWAYS move ahead. Past experiences are to be lessons learned NOT a daily dwelling exercise and retaliation is not of good marriage with me either.

All in all, you providing a rather lengthy explanation is exactly what I was referring to...you may, as you say, deal with it on a daily basis, and this is baggage that most mature people will not and don't have to listen to.

Afterall, this is a dating site NOT the psychologist or psychiatrist's office.

Good luck to you.

Thank you Jen.

That's one vote for being honest... and one for my not having a friendly opinion or response to an opinion. lol Yeah, should have just shut my mouth.

Since I posted this profile review request, I have edited it a few more times.
Mostly based on what a few members that took the time to write me directly with thier opinions and suggestions. Especially a couple of good friends.
Thanks for all your help.
