Should I list my interests???
Posted: 10/11/2009 1:28:01 AM
Hey guys/gals, thanks for the replies. I've got a million things I'm into and am wondering especially from the ladies if I should post my 50-90 interests in that section where I have "Everything" as my interest. I don't think a super-long profile is what you're into, and so I try to keep it simple. let me know what you think. Ty!

Listing "everything" is just lazy.

I suggest 9-12. Make them creative,related to yourself and potential ladies.
Although I once saw this profile where the guy must have had 50 or so interests. It worked out well because they were not generic (rock), but also not totally random (swinging from poles). He even had then alphabetized.

You could always try it as an experiment. I get bored with pof and my profile every once and a while and do random experiments.


You need more pics too.


I think you should delete everything past your 2nd paragraph and continue describing yourself in paragraph form.

Rod you are all over the place in your profile. One needs a GPS system to find your wants.

Your headline says you are available, you are seeking someone to date, yet in your written profile the very first sentence contradicts those impressions.

We can tell you are a handsome guy, but you need more pictures.


You may have many interests, and they may even be diverse, but chances are you are NOT interested in everything. You should list between 10-15 of things you enjoy the most.



About Me
I recently moved out to the Picayune area of MS and may be up for a date sooner or later. I'm not taking things fast and am just looking to make a friend unless sparks fly. I can still take care of business if the moment springs on us, but I'm not rushing things and really just want to enjoy the sunset and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I've got alot going on and whenever I have some down-time, I'd like to spend it with someone safe and comfortable to be around. Can you relate?

Why are you saying "I can still take care of business if the moment springs on us" ... come on, geez ... I recommend deleting this whole paragraph - and FAST!



It's easier for me to say what kind of woman I'm not looking for, since so many of you are so wonderful and there are so many different kinds of 'attractive'.

Even though this is a great way of putting it, it isn't going to work. Do you realize most are not seeking the same exact qualities? I have yet come across an ad that states they are seeking a drug addicted, schizophrenic, child abuser. Honestly!

We are more interested in the qualities you are seeking.



-Fat or annorexic.

Come on - this is in bad taste all the way around. Just state you are seeking someone height/weight proportionate, or athletic ..


These ladies I've described are people too, and deserve happiness, but I just can't give it to them.

Delete - delete- delete-


I love beauty and making everything wonderful.

This made me laugh, especially following the statement about your inability to give happiness to some ... I recommend deleting.

A successful profile begins with telling us about you as a person. Your profile is about advertising yourself as well as what you are seeking. We want to make sure you are someone we would be interested in befriending before anything else.

Then we want to know a bit about your interests, and then a paragraph as to what you are seeking. The attributes you are searching for as well as what you are hoping to find. (A friend, partner, athletic workout buddy, etc)

I recommend revising and coming back.

You should get rid of "Everything" and list your 10 to 15 main hobbies and interests.
