Hey all. I've been messaging too many people who have read my message and view my profile and not messaged back. I understand obviously I'm not everyones type but with it happening over and over I feel my profile is letting me down. Any constructive critiscm is welcome.

Hi Ceri,

Well, your looks aren't the problem!


p.s. if you are going to message me 1st thanks 2nd please take the time to write a message more than hey you ok


This is the only sentence that jumps out at me as problem. Trust me, some people don't bother to read profiles before sending messages, and so this won't deter the people it's aimed at, and it's negative so I'd delete it.

You've got some great potential material here, especially about the fact that you like to travel and have lived abroad - you could give some more detail about that sort of thing. You want to stand out and this is a fairly unique thing from many other men on here.

One thing that may be deterring women is the fact that you're unemployed and not only not looking for work but planning to leave the country next year, presumably for some time if you're planning to visit several places. It's an important detail so I'm loathe to suggest you cut it out, but at the same time I know I'd be thinking 'could this actually have any future if I started seeing this guy?'

I'd try and think of some ways to rephrase the unemployment part. Perhaps play up the fact that you've just graduated, maybe change the fact that you're leaving the country to something about 'looking forward to some light traveling next year before I start my career path'. Something that at least suggests you're going to be a reliable man to be with :)

That's my 2 cents anyway. Good luck :)

i agree with the girl above me....there is nothing wrong with your pictures (you're kinda cute but too young for me). okay, what i don't understand is: have you been on this site for 2 or 3 years and still looking??

this is what i don't like about your profile: leave out that on the town (something does not sound write- sentence fragment); the "anyone" part i don't like because "anyone" does not sound right since you don't know what everyone like to do on dates. last, the p.s. part where you talk about "don't say OK" and the "first date" section need to be completely deleted. first date: a woman need to know specific what we are going to be doing or that whetever we want is what you will "do" to please us......period.



good luc k,

If you're still checking in, know that the whole travel thing may be turning off some viewers. They may be hesitant to invest time emotionally in someone who will be going away for a couple/few months.

There are still a couple of little types and punctuations issues, but not really enough to mess with what you're trying to say.

Wow you're cute, though.
