Posted: 10/31/2009 4:14:31 PM | Should I edit the pic so it is just me in it, rather than me and some girl I hardly know?
Think I may sound a bit serious in my blurb, but i'm just trying to be succinct!
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers | |

Posted: 10/31/2009 10:04:15 PM | The profile does have an overall light tone, this is good.
The first paragraph is several ideas squished into one paragraph. You'll need to separate that out a bit.
This line has to go: I'm not an alcoholic but find myself socially drinking more than 3 times a week! Often sounds so bad! It doesn't "often" sound so bad, it always sounds so bad if you shine a spotlight on it. Do you enjoy getting together with your mates after work for a quick pint? That's different from planting your ass in a seat for 4 hours and swining them back 4-5x a week. Which one is you?
For the occupation: "ask" is really irritating. Something general is better than that answer. Student? Manager? Tradesman? Driver? Computers? Escort? The female imagination will go to a dark place unless you give it up.
If you can, close off with a line or two about who you are hoping to meet here. What will she be like? Use positive language only. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 11:43:22 AM | Hi,
I've mailed 4 people now and not got a single reply. I've mailed pretty good friendly messages nothing OTT or full on. Just general chit chat, trying to get to know the person better. I've took in an interest in what they've said they like. (Wasn't hard as it was same as I like that is why i mailed them)
But a bit like this thread I've been ignored! A reply saying "f#ck off you ugly bas#tard" would have a been a lot easier to take
Maybe I should change my name to mr invisible.
I'm not self pitying, but would like to know how to give my profile some X factor so people don't just skip by it. Or is the problem the photo (Can't do much about how I look). I've also said I've got a few extra pounds which I do, but not compared to most of the people who say they have. I carry it quite well as well because I'm tall. Should I change it to 'average'?
Cheers
Mr Invisible!! | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 11:53:10 AM | Hi again. Maybe start with a clearer main photo - smiling head/shoulders shot.
I agree you could probably get away with "average" - I would have assumed that looking at your pictures.
The drinking more than 3x a week may also be off-putting. Maybe change that to 'Socially" and explain in your profile?
Try sending me a fake practice message using my profile as a test sample and I'll let you know if there's any glaring red flags. No charge. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 11:56:17 AM | Dear Mr. Invisible,
The harsh realities of online dating is it’s really the women’s choice. If you get 5-10% response from your emails you will be doing great. Women can get anywhere between 10-50 (or more) emails a day depending on how good looking they are. Taking one minute to tell the guy to FO you’re just way too ugly for my tastes would be very time consuming.
The “read/deleted” or my all time favorite “unread/deleted” is what they do. Don’t take it personally… or if you do take it personally, you might want to think about killing your profile!
You don’t have a full body shot where you can really tell your weight. The closest one you have to that is your main picture and you look to me in that one as “average”. This assumes you don’t have a huge a$$ going on just south of where the picture stops!
Patience is the key to this one buddy. Quality emails and patience.
Cheers!
Edit: I missed the >3 times a week thing. If I lived close to you I would date you just due to that one thing. The problem is though many women may not be into that like I am. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 1:02:23 PM | Ok buddy time for you to go through "singlebyfate" profile boot camp. You will find me to be very harsh reviewer. However if you can survive the bootcamp you will get results.
Day 01
First and foremost online dateing is hard work and dedication. You will only get back what you put into it. You have to give it a honest effort if you want it to work. You have 8 chances to lure females to your profile text. These 8 chances come in the form of photographs. You must be in the center of your primary photo. This means some space on all sides of your headshot. This is done with photo cropping. It's super easy to do with any image editing program. Next imagine if you and the woman of your dreams made eye contact for the first time. What would you look like at that moment? Well your primary picture is that moment. So get it right. You only get that one frozen moment in time before she fades away into cyberspace forever lost.
If your primary photo gets the lady to click on your profile the first thing she will do is check out the next 7 pictures of you. Although not as important as the primary profile picture they will contribute towards your goal of getting female users to read your profile.
So here is your mission if yo so choose to accept it. Find a camera and a good friend to take your picture. Instruct the photographer to ensure that you are in the center of the view finder. Take 8 great pictures of yourself. Crop them, and post them. If you can do this, I will post Boot Camp Day 02. | |
