| monkey knife fight! Posted: 10/3/2009 6:37:41 PM | Ok, lets see if my profile hook works as well here as it has for my profile. Ha.
I tried to be "me" as best as I could, though it's kind of difficult to portray spontaneity through a wall of text.
I end up with with about a 50-75% response rate, and end up carrying on full conversations with about 35-45% of those people. I end up with first contacts about every other day, though most (not all) of those are people that aren't exactly my type. However, I do take the time to at least write back to them.
I'm just looking for some constructive criticism on my profile, and would like to ask if it's my profile that's helping me, or if it's looks. I know I look good, but I'm not sure how good, and if that's the only reason I'm getting responses. (I doubt I look good enough to pull that off, but thought I would ask anyways.)
Thanks in advance. | |

Ever hear the saying "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" ?
I see some holes and a few loose ends, but in the end you sound like you are doing just fine. They only thing you can really work out is your response rate. The ladies that are gonna email you are gonna email you anyways. Everyone is different so if it works for you,,,,,leave it be till the emails and responses trickle out and you can look at everyone in your dating area and say that you have dated or talked to all of them.
That will happen at about the 6 month mark.
And then you end up here!

| monkey knife fight! Posted: 10/3/2009 7:20:16 PM | | Ha, thanks guys. Even the guy who didn't bother looking. Now, a female's opinion would also be appreciated. | |

um... duh!? Look at that bone structure. Holy cougarbait, Batman. Is your Dad single?
You're only looking to Hangout, but girls that are going to contact you will want more. Don't be a tease if you're really not looking for a girlfriend or FWB. | |

| monkey knife fight! Posted: 11/6/2009 11:45:20 PM | Thanks! I'm not intending to tease. As stated in my profile, I'm not specifically looking for a gf, but if I find someone that I connect with there's nothing wrong with taking it to the next level.
Ok question though- Am I misleading people with my main picture? That is an amazing picture, even though is what taken by me... on my cell phone... while running and covered in sweat lol. I think I have a decent spread of pictures so people can judge, but for a bit of re-assurance, here are some crappy pics of me- Do you think I'm misleading people?

Am I being misleading to people by using that as my main pic? I only ask because I've met people here, and have been shocked to see the difference from their picture to reality, and I don't want to do that to someone else. | |

| monkey knife fight! Posted: 11/7/2009 10:26:40 AM | | The main photo is supposed to get them 'in the door', so to speak, and this one totally fulfills that function. The other pictures are of course less flattering (you have some wierd friends! LOL!) but it may help to throw them in the mix. | |
