| No good? (prof review please)
Posted: 11/1/2009 2:14:58 PM | Where does being picky become being too picky? I mean I have tried to not be so much and then I end up meeting guys I really don't like. I know the one picture is a bit provocative and might attract the wrong guy, but anything else I should do different? Willing to bite the bullet and open my ears ( or eyes in this case). Don't be too harsh!
Yes I know I don't smile that much... but thats just me, and how I am/look so should I really paste a picture of me that really isn't me?
Thanks! | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 2:44:38 PM | Look at it like this:
Suppose you post a profile or even a picture that you don't feel represents you accurately, the only people that you're likely to attract are people who are interested in what they see/read. Finding the right person seems to be really will-o-the-wisp.
I'm by no means a dating expert, but I would recommend you don't compromise yourself in any way, since I just see there being potential for that to burn you in the end. It'll take time no doubt, but as long as you remain true to yourself, somebody will come across your profile and like what they see there and take the initiative. When they do and you feel that connection, won't it all have been wroth while? :)
You can also take the initiative yourself! I'm not suggesting you're not already since you didn't mention it here, but if you happen across a profile for someone that seems viable, take a chance and introduce yourself! Don't leave it up to them to find you.
I don't know if this helps, but I wish you all the best in your quest!
Cheers! | |

I do go out of my way to look and "make the first move" if you will, but it often gets me no where. Yes I agree in the end if someone does come across and see it and like it for what I put and not what someone else told me to put or act, then it will be worth it. Thanks again. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 3:30:05 PM | ok, here goes...my 17.5 cents....
1. headline is kinda boring. make it catchy but incorporate you love for animals somehow.
2. you've got a variety of shots. i would have preferred the last one to use as your main...better lighting, you can see your eyes, and hair. and a body shot would be nice as well.
3. good amount of interests. I would move your Interests from About Me. Instead of writing music, try Indy music. Instead of driving, try road trips. Make your interests seem like more with careful wording.
4. even though the About Me section states to list hobbies, it's kinda pointless. they should be listed in your Interests. So use this section to talk about who you are. Saying "you'll just have to find out" is not inviting and seems aloof. Almost like you couldn't be bothered. What makes you a great long term catch? Why should someone choose you over the next profile they read? You should be answering those kind of questions when you talk about yourself. Lets face it. You gotta sell yourself.
5. avoid cursing and negative word choices. try to remain upbeat. i always say it's good to point out what you want, and the "not wants" will be obvious. This way, your profile remains positive but you've still managed to weed out what you don't want.
6. a lot of that About me section is repetitive. No need to explain your size. You have pics and you chose a few extra pounds, not BBW. All that repetition makes your profile seem super long and most will not read. Spaces between paragraphs is always a good way to break up info and makes it easier to read.
7. there is a lot of "if you're ......don't bother messaging me. you can block drinkers in your preferences. Same thing with those who use drugs. Nothing wrong with specifying that you want certain things, just a nicer way of doing it...
hope this helps....happy fishing...  | |

Thanks although I think I answered some of those you stated like why I am a good catch... ?
I will consider a new title!
I do have 2 shots that you can see my size, but I don't have any body shots in general because I don't have a self timing camera.
I iwll take your words into consideration and try to alter it a bit. Thanks | |
