| Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 10/31/2009 10:34:00 AM | | Been on the site for a bit and have yet to recieve a single message or any bit of interest. Starting to sound a bit like life out in the real world now. I'm hoping that it's something easy about my profile that can be changed or tweaked. So I'de like a little advice or constructive criticism please. | |

| Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 10/31/2009 11:03:48 AM | I'd say you have a good start.
Some more pics would be good...as always, a headshot of you smiling is what most ladies would prefer as the main profile.
Your profile is a lot of single sentences. You enjoy reading, so it shouldn't be hard for you to revise it so that it's more paragraph oriented and tells a story about you.
I would consider revising 'I support the second amendment" to read "I enjoy target shooting/hunting/gunsmithing" this way it focuses on what you do rather than a political stance.
Perhaps include some statements about your career or career plans or things you are doing or planning to do as fun/enjoyable? Most folks find those who are doing things as attractive.
A section on what sort of ladies to whom you are attracted is always good to have after your "me" sections. ya know "I like smart/tall/short/funny/serious/quiet/talkative..."
Good luck fishing. | |

Copy your text into a Word program and then fix the grammar and spelling. They exist to facilitate communication.
The person above had excellent suggestions.
The only thing I would add is to try to charm and entice the women. | |

| Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 11/15/2009 1:42:55 PM | Need a little help possibly. Posted: 11/15/2009 12 50 PM So my profile has been up for a while now. I took some advice and expanded my description area. It would still seem though that people look but don't talk, or just ignore my messages. Anyone have any idea of what could be done? Is it my profile or the posibility of the rudeness of our day in age?
Ask the Mods to delete your duplicate thread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still need a clear smiling head/shoulders shot as your main. Rewrite at least half your sentences so they don't all start with "I". Cut the lists down to top 3 only.
What do your introductory messages look like?? | |

| Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 11/15/2009 2:18:03 PM | Well the smile I've got on the current pic is as good as it gets. My true smile is horrible looking so I wont go there. If you don't believe me I can send you one in private.
Rewriting is too easy, I'll work on that.
Introductory messages are just that. I say hi, introduce myself, and ask them about something that might not be in their description, favorite movies/music/activities and the like, or if they share a commen interest I try to expand upon that. | |

| Looking for a little judgement. haha Posted: 11/15/2009 2:33:49 PM | The only way your 'true smile' could be horrible is if you have front teeth missing or giant gnarly things sticking out or totally rotted teeth. If that's the case, then yeah, discretion is better. (But even a bigger grin would help, and a clearer picture!! Seriously!!)
The introductory messages should really be 3-4 lines. For example, if I were writing to you:
Subject line: Zombies!
Message: I love that you have zombies as an interest! When I was a kid, I saw the black-and-white movie Omega Man with Charlton Heston and it scared the bejeepers out of me. Have you seen it?
YGF
The subject line will be something you'll remember we discussed if you read and then later come back to the message. It also shows I read your profile. Ending with a question gives your viewer a natural way to respond, the same as in a regular conversation. In a regular conversation, you don't bombard the other person with information and questions, it's a back-and-forth process. Using this format, I usually get a response rate of over 80%. | |
