Posted: 10/27/2009 5:04:25 AM | Hi there... haven't had to much success getting responses here. Just wondering if I could get you guys and gals to take a look over my profile, and see if I'm throwing up any red flags or anything.
Thanks! | |

Your about me is not helping the situation. When we take out all the stuff that is just filler and negative things, here is what we have.

“I work alot, doing my normal day job at small hotel, or my start up graphic design business. That doesn't pay well though... “

You really need to add more about who you are! Also add a paragraph about the girl you want to meet. What is she like?

...see if I'm throwing up any red flags or anything. Your profile is one big red flag starting with the lousy pictures. You will probably have more success meeting women in real life. How is that working out for you? | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 8:42:53 AM | Wait, you mean I shouldn't be taking self-cell phone pics with my shirt off and making them grayscale then using them as my primary?!??!
One thing to note, is that if you are negative about your income, you're likely to drive women away with that statement. Most people don't make enough and everyone would love to be a millionaire, no? | |

And yeah, don't you just wanna be me!
I'll get back to you on this one. For now, I'm going to go with a very provisional "no" and leave it at that.
Hugs and sloppy kisses,
--me | |

Why? You trolling for a piece of tail? 
Back on topic... | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 9:24:12 AM | Tommy is one of the most successful guys on this site (with the ladies that is) good thing I am a lot older and a long way away from him or we might have an issue with each other. (or maybe we would have a few beers and trade lies about how good we each do with the ladies!)

Posted: 10/27/2009 9:24:27 AM | First, Trixie is your competition. If you were in a race, would you trust him around your mode of transportation? I don't think so. 
If you smoke, you smoke. If you decide to quit (to widen the playing field or for your own health, doesn't matter) you probably shouldn't list yourself as a non-smoker until you've gone at least 6 months to a year without a cigarette. Don't be dishonest. Be yourself.
I think your profile sounds a bit manic and all over the place. I don't know if you're actually that easily entertained but also easily distracted, or if you're just trying to make yourself sound busy and positive. I suspect the latter after seeing the suggestions you received. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 9:25:04 AM | Sorry man, if I ever switch teams, I'd have to be the pitcher.
Sorry if it hurts your feelings to learn that.
So... topic. Anyone seen it? | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 9:36:21 AM | Trixie-Doo, even if we were all gay, I am way too old for either you or Tommy!!!
BTW, did we really ever help the OP?

Posted: 10/27/2009 9:40:30 AM | I think you are right on that, I see no change. So he has either not checked the comments or thinks we all suck as reviewers!!

Posted: 10/27/2009 10:22:11 AM | Well... considering there are 25 messages and only four with profile advice that basically give it up to inane off topic chat after message 7.
I can see that he doesn't have much advice to change with and even less reason to come back and follow up!  | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 10:50:03 AM | Rita, sometimes people come back on with comments, sometimes they make changes to their profile without comment to the reviewers. When neither of those happens, I take the request as a hoax and don’t worry about it further.

Posted: 10/27/2009 10:57:25 AM | My post had nothing to do with worry! Jeesh!
It did comment on the volume of off topic chat
here and that is the only thing worth considering, imo.
You have ignored the gist of what I was saying,
that THAT can and does keep people from returning.
Especially if it's not about them! lol | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 11:09:17 AM | I will now leave this thread, it seems to be going nowhere and I have got to get together with Rita you know!!
That old aged convention is waiting for us. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 2:38:22 PM | | I'd agree with fixing up those photo's. I see you've got hair - is the hat a fulltime part of you? The closeups are much better than your body shot, but get one of yourself smiling if you can manage. | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 4:36:08 PM | You're just making this too hard on the ladies, the bad pics, the rambling nonsense, no mention of what you're looking for...jeez. Try a bit harder here or expect lousy results. And another thing - you need to make first contacts, don't wait for girls to hit on you - that doesn't happen in "real life" and won't happen here either!
Good luck! | |

Posted: 10/27/2009 6:14:25 PM | The original message indicated he hadn't had much success getting responses here and wondering if he was throwing up red flags. DUH!!!!
This is an incoherent, rambling, ADD profile that shows what happens when you write when you're stoned. You should know better than to put '420' in your Interests and not say "Socially" to the drug question. Girls aren't stupid and they will delete liars faster than a viagra spam email. And no, we won't get into the 'it's not really a drug argument because it is and that's why you're being ignored. Deal.
Have a grande super latte with extra chocolate shavings from Starbucks, focus, and rewrite this crap. Start with who you are, your best quality, what you do, then a new paragraph on your activities, hobbies and goals, and finally who you are hoping to meet here. | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 7:43:30 AM | | Ha, well thanks again everyone for your help. Actually the harshness of the comments from the bulk of responses actually helps alot. Thanks for being straight forward and to the point, that's hard to come by nowadays. | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 12:49:34 PM | As others have said, the main profile picture isn't helping. Get a good close-up and be dressed nicely. I'm told that having "Nerd" and "Geek" in ones profile is a mistake as most see those as negative terms. Personally, I don't consider them negative but took them out of my profile anyway. Nix the stuff on your income. Women want a strong a provider. I'm not sure what "Game Testing" would be so expand on that.
