| Pimp my profile Posted: 11/3/2009 2:13:53 PM | I am having trouble getting my profile together. I feel that it is too simple and doesn't quite flow. If some of you could give me some constructive feedback it would be greatly appreciated. Am I not saying enough in the profile or too much? Are my pictures all wrong? What more should I include?
Any help from a guy's perspective would help alot! Thanks again for taking the time to review my profile:) | |

| Pimp my profile Posted: 11/3/2009 2:37:23 PM | I like photo number 5 the best but they are all good. Profession – Tell ya later. What does that mean? Stripper, hooker, drug dealer??? Not good. You have a nice list of interests. About me is OK, could use a bit more beef.
Age restrictions – 11 years younger but only 8 years older. What is that about?? Better to eliminate both ends of that. If you start getting too many from us old fart then put in a limit. All the best, Ron | |

First let’s work on your pictures. ½ of them are fuzzy. That main picture has to be a good close up face shot with a smile. Just like YOU want to see in the guys you are looking at right? Fair is fair.
Per some POF rule that I chose to ignore due to not following rules all that well, you shouldn’t have pictures of you and your kids. You need to have at least one picture (not taken from 100 feet away either!) of you doing the head to toe body shot for all the men that can’t read well, which is most of us.
Your profession should be spelled out IMO. As a guy looking at that one, I see you are ed-jew-kated, but could she possibly be unemployed looking for a meal ticket? If you are living in a small town, I could kinda get you keeping it private so the stalker freaks can’t find you… but if not, add it.
The men aren’t going to care too much what your friend thinks about you to be blunt! For all we know she could be a crack head or something. You tell us about who YOU think you are!
You can toss all your interests in the first paragraph into the Interest section and then talk about one or two of your favorite in the body text.
“I don't get my feathers ruffled very easily but when I do...” – You what? Whip out the 9mm and empty a clip in your man’s chest? Get into the SUV and run his a$$ over a few times in the driveway? I think I would leave this one out… I mean you say that one right after being all laid back and stuff. It frightened me some and I quickly checked again to see that you weren’t living across the street from me.
committment is misspelled there… and congrats!! I would kill the …. so smokers…. You are just gonna have to kill yourself alone comment. Just toss that one into your restrictions at the bottom of the profile. Negative comments are bad. Just use the positive ones to describe your dream man.
And speaking of your dream man. All I see is that he can’t smoke and be 30-49. Bummer to be me I guess at 51 eh? I personally have no age restrictions on my profile so all the 23 year old girls can write me whenever they want. Seriously? If a 103 year old guy contacts you, you can always do the “read/delete” on him. Likewise when a 23 year old boy is cougar hunting. “Click-Block” Problem solved.
First Date section – I hate lists of anything even though I excel at making them for others. Just say something simple there and let the guy tell you what you are going to do. Just like the little submissive southern girl you are! (ok, that was probably a super bad joke)
Cheers! | |

| Pimp my profile Posted: 11/3/2009 6:01:20 PM | I am not a guy so take my advice for what it's worth . . .
If you have style and class, pimping your profile, is so not a good idea. Better to go sassy and classy everytime.  | |
