Posted: 11/2/2009 5:10:06 PM | | check out my profile and let me know what you think ladies. Is being to honest hurting my chances of a woman contacting me. And if I contact a woman would you respond back and say your not interested or would you just not respond. please no smart ass answers. | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 5:14:39 PM | I'm not really in a position to comment as my profile was atrocious, but what i can say is :
"If you have a problem with that then you better keep looking."
....this comes across as quite aggressive in my opinion at least, I think its admirable to have been honest in your profile, but any woman who would see that as an issue wont be bothered by that statement, however you are in danger of putting off women who have no issue but upon seeing that may be put off.
Just a thought :) | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 5:19:34 PM | you are asking the board for help, so you should not be defensive. for the starts , i think you should change this picture (the main one -we are looking at ) to a strong picture with you with a dog, horse, on a sailboat but you need a smile. for some reason you look mean or angry. also, in your profile you need to let the women know how you like to be treated and how you like to treat the special woman in your life.
good luck, | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 5:23:24 PM | my coles notes....
1. a smiling pic would be cool...i might suggest swapping the last pic to your main...clearer head shot.
2. separated will turn some off. maay want to update whether you're getting a divorce, etc. especially since you are looking long term.
3. not enough interests...add some more...they are good conversation starters.
4. need more about your personality in the about me, you talk about the business and being a dad but talk about why you are a good catch.
5. while i admire your honesty, trruth of the matter is the Hep C will turn people off. People like to live in ignorance and won't look it up to see how it's transmitted or received. Sad but true. I do think you should disclose it though, because why waste time?
6. add a little more about the kind of woman you are looking for. since you are looking long term, be specific and state what you want. it will weed out those who aren't compatible matches.
i think that's all....happy fishing... | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 5:31:17 PM | Hi there Billy,
Your third picture is the only one where you look like you're having a good time. I'd definitely delete the second and fourth, you look pissed off in both, and get a good picture, preferably head and shoulders with that great smile included!
It says you're separated - I won't lie, this can count against you. Some women exclude this in searches, or prefer not to contact people in the middle of a separation. It might be worth adding a line or two to your description just to say 'I'm two weeks away from finalising my divorce, hence my separated status at the moment. I'm looking forward to changing it as soon as all the paperwork goes through!' Nothing bitter or personal about it, just a quick and simple explanation.
You say you have 2 professions - again, it's worth explaining this in your description because it does insinuate that you don't currently have a full-time job.
Only 3 interests - any chance you could bulk this up a bit? What kind of music do you like, what do you enjoy doing etc etc.
I would suggest changing the layout of your description to something more than just one block of text. I would suggest one or two paragraphs about yourself, preferably at least two if you can manage it - I notice you don't talk much about any activities or what you enjoy so add some of that in there. Then include a third paragraph about what you're looking for.
Personally, I would cut the stuff about you having liver disease. Whilst this is certainly important information, I don't feel it's appropriate to have it out there in your description. What I would recommend is saving that info until you're talking to a woman and feel you might want to meet her. That would be the time to bring up serious medical conditions, in my opinion.
Good luck :) | |

Posted: 11/2/2009 9:22:56 PM | You absolutely need a smiling main photo. With those cheekbones, a smile will be very effective.
Unless the HepC is going to kill you in a couple of years, why drop this bombshell now? You're much more than a liver disease. Or - if you feel it prudent to mention it up front, you can simply say you have a medical condition that will sometimes knock you on your ass, but you keep a positive attitude and enjoy life. Make it true. And please, we don't need to know about your medical insurance issues. | |
