Okay, I haven't been here long, but I've showed to profile to friends and they all seem to like it. Now for the real opinions.

I am more than open to constructive criticisms and improvements.

I am definitely trying to weed out some of the "serial daters" with it, and honestly looking for someone who is more of a "relationship" type.

By all means comment on the photos too!

First, let me say that I am not new to online dating, my friend did not put me up to it, and although it has been a mixed bag for me people I know found people from this very site.


Your opening is one of the most important parts of your page. Yours is not so good. This is the first thing a lady reads about you and it really says nothing about you other then making a statement that is not helping the cause.


While I know we are supposed to sell ourselves here, everything anyone ever writes makes everyone seem the same and perfect. I have my flaws like everyone else and I am working on making myself a better person everyday. I have a personal trainer who is working on my health and fitness with me. I am a professional, I have a career and not a job. I live alone with my dog Romo and my Cat Chivas. I have a 6yr old son who I see every other weekend. I have a good relationship with his mother and am not looking for a mother for him. He is just part of my life, and needs to be considered in a potential relationship.


Not bad, I would lose the first sentence though, it reads negatively and is not helping you out any.


I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I am not damaged goods either. I have a positive outlook on life, I like camping, outdoors, movies, fixing things, bar-b-que with the friends, and friendly get-togethers. I am manly enough to defend your honor, fix the plumbing, guess what might be wrong with your car... but I am sensitive enough to keep my hands smooth for holding and to understand when something might be bothering you. I am smart enough to leave it alone at times too when I should.


Not bad, but we have a 'I' fest going on. I,I,I,I,,,,,, Consider working around a few of them, not all of them mind you, but a few of them to cut down on the 'I' factor. It make reading your text clunky and hard to read in places.


I am funny, I know everyone says that, but I find I am always making people laugh around me. I pride myself on being charming and actually funny. I think that one of the best sounds on earth is a woman laughing.


Ewwwww, I would just ditch this. If you are funny, show it. Everyone does say it, so why are we? Funny people are just funny, they don't say it.


My humor is witty, I love to quote funny lines from movies with friends. My humor can be odd at times ( I call it sophisticated humor ) and my behavior can sometimes match it. I am here to find someone to build a relationship with, to get to know them, see if we click. Then take it from there. I am loyal to a fault and every past relationship ( not dating ) has been no less than three years. Why do something if you're not going to put your all into it right?


Again with the humor, show some of it!


Some things I want to do more of. I want to travel more ( see England and Germany and definitely Japan), I want to go on cruise and I want to sit on a beach and drink a corona and see blue clear water. I also want to get a tattoo and jump out of an air plane.


You should condense this with the paragraph above it. Startin to sound like we are struggling to say more. This is good info but you should consider condensing it. This is also a great place to show that humor we keep talking about.


More than anything I think I want to meet that woman who inspires me to want to paint her a mural, build her a house, sculpt her a statue. I want her to be the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing i think about before I fall sleep. Life is meant to be shared with someone special, when you've tasted it, you only want more!


Not to sure about the last line, I will leave that to some of lady reviewers.


If you message me I will respond. If I am not interested, I will tell you, never hurts to reach out and communicate with someone. Cost you nothing but the time it took to write something.


Ditch this. Makes you sound desperate, I am not saying you are but it certainly is not helping the cause any. If you do things right it goes without saying.


Looking forward to hearing from you!


Ditch it.



First Date
Lets get though the initial correspondence part then see where that goes. No point is saying where we would go without knowing each other a little bit first.


Put something you would liek to do a first date. What you put is kinda obvious.


More pictures will help, lots of them!

Good Luck.

Thanks tons of help! Good suggestions.

Pics I might be missing something here, but is there a place to put more than the alloted? I filled it up.

Are you having any success with this rewrite?

a few things.


The son of a poet, an artist and communication specialist is suddenly at a loss for words. How can I summarize myself in a short synopsis that will demonstrate the depths of my character, life experiences and inspirations to seek out and find love? Having the ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues has left me at impasse to determine what I am to say about myself that will make a woman understand me.

How do I convey my excitement about life and all the possibilities it presents, the joys and pitfalls I have traversed, the accomplishments and yes, in some cases the failures in online text? Excitement about life cannot adequately be expressed in the written form, nor can the anticipation of finding the one to share yourself with and hoping for the same be communicated in such a simple format.


Not bad, better then what you had. Confidence! Confidence! No 'how do I convey buiness' Just lay it out, if they like it they do ---- if they don't, they don't! It is a improvement and if it works leave it lay.


However, you must know some details about me so I will give you some overall information about myself in the hopes that this will intrigue you enough to want to find out more personally, where these abstracts can be detailed greater with non verbal’s and the tell tale eyes.


Nah, ditch this, would be my council.




I play the guitar and use that as creative outlet. I love to create things and I am a “Fixer”, if it is broken I want to make it right. I have been that way since my grandfather gave me a screwdriver and a busted alarm clock at the age of 5. Two days later I came back to him with a fixed alarm clock. The path of life I suppose. There is a sensitive side to me and I am not ashamed to admit. I am human and feel despite an outward appearance that sometimes masks this fact. Only those who know me well ever see that side, it is reserved for them.


This is good, but has the makings of a great opening. A lot of the personaility is in this paragraph.


Now how do I describe the woman I am looking for? Again, the words fail me.


No, no and No!


My quest is to find the woman who wants to explore life together, a woman with a spark in her eye, a genuine smile that will light my soul and the room when she enters it. She is sensitive, appreciative of finding each other, generous with her feelings, accepting of mine, and trusts my integrity as I trust hers. She is in search of a man who will treat her like a lady, who is open and honest, who is not into games or ill intent, chooses happiness and meaning over stereotypes and shiny finishes. I want to show her my feelings without expectations, hoping that one day she will love me back.

First Date


*Read to the theme of Mission:Immpossible *

Your first date should you choose to accept it is as follows:Start with public place, a cafe or local pub will do. Aquaint yourself with each other. If you get the sense that things are going well, move to stage two. Dinner. Eat your meal and order a drink, all the while be poised to converse about things that you like and dislike. Laugh at his jokes no matter what, self improvement stopped for him at potty training ( wait thats another movie!...laugh anyway. After dinner, end the night at a movie or a comedy club where the laughter continues and evening concludes.

* this message will self destruct in 5,4,3,2..... *


You should consider cleaning this up a bit if it is not working for you.


Your first date should you choose to accept it is as follows:


No, No and No! Where is the confidence? catch me drift? Little things like this are all over the place on your page. Ladies pick up on this. CONFIDENCE!


All and all it is way better then the first version.
