1. main pics with glasses? looks like you're trying to hide. and looking into someone's eyes, even in a pic is important. as well, why is it only part of your head? FULL head shot please.
2. About Me should be about you. Not your interests. Put those where they belong and avoid repeating yourself. Then use this section to talk about the dashing divorcee you are. Sell yourself. Talk about some aspirations and why you are on POF. Be positive in your word choice. Then talk about what kind of woman you are looking to date. You are divorced so I'm sure you know what you don't want...so talk about what you do. Remember...be positive...
3. be creative and think of something for a first date. being vague makes it seem like you didn't care enough to write something..
good luck....happy fishing...

The username sounds like a guy that will slip out in the middle of the night.
The main photo will likely get deleted as the sunglasses are against "The Rules" for the clear headshot main photo.
As a writer, you should know how to write a picture. This is a list of random facts.
You've got one of these ( in your music sentence, but not one of these ).
You don't expand on any of your interests, which gives details and adds to your personality. The profile reads very dry.
... and the cherry on top...
You're 35, and you only want to date girls between 21 and 33? Sounds like your biological clock just went off. This will creep out the girls 14 years younger and piss off the women your age. It may be safer to delete the email age settings entirely and be pleasantly surprised. Or - you can control who you write to. If you get overrun with messages from old broads your age, you can simply say "Thanks, but I don't think we're a match." Some people just read/delete without a reply, your call.
When you send an introductory message, is it short, light and casual? Do you mention something specific from her profile? Make an appropriate comment and ask a question ??
Good luck! | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 12:09:07 AM | I agree with the previous reviewer. The age thing creeps me out. A person who seeks substantially younger people tends to have issues. Plus, as the human brain doesn't mature until in the 20's, the mental maturity of someone younger than mid-20's should be substantially less than yours. Why would a man want someone substantially less mentally mature?
I would think that as a therapist (I was assuming a mental health therapist) you would be aware of this. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 4:39:31 AM | Being honest, if I were in my 30's and saw your age range "18-35," I'd be completely creeped out and pass you right by. What's with wanting to meet teenage girls? Creepy as hell.
You should consider removing the 18-35 age limit filter altogether (are you really getting SO much mail from women of all ages that you have to restrict it so your inbox doesn't explode from sheer volume?) Seeking teenagers probably doesn't sit too well with more mature ladies in their 30's. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 12:55:28 PM | Definitely removing that... I still kind of learning the ropes with POF. I'm not looking for anyone that young, BTW...lol I don't think I'd have the energy to keep up...
Thanks for the feedback. | |
