Trent - have to ask because I read your forum history. Is the issue with your son's mom resolved? You need to be clear on that before you carry on here, I'm sure you know that. Anyway....

The whole profile feels like you're looking for a guy friend, except the cuddling part, not that there's anything wrong with that....

You only really give two interests and both are not particularly chick-friendly. What else interests you? Fitness? Great Pizza? Chocolate? Action Movies?

A female viewer is going to want to know more than a list of things you like to do. With the martial arts - how long have you been going? got any pictures in uniform? What level are you? For the sports you like to play - is it seasonal or year round? How will you fit a partner into your schedule? If you're in Edmonton, how bad are the Oilers going to suck this year? (go Canucks go!) All these things are important.

Take out the line 'Dunno....' It's a waste of your valuable profile space.

You open with what you want (pretty, petite, active). This should come after you give the viewer details about you so she'll want to read on. What is 'pretty' to you? Big brown/blue/green/two eyes? A smile that makes you forget your name? Freckles? If you don't tell her, she won't know.

Don't fish with the surgery. Fakeness to elicit compliments or whatever is unnattractive.

You're a bit try-hard with the gangster-look, particularly the 2nd one at the pub - your age and parental responsibilities might cause others to perceive you as immature and presumably turn off (whatever #) of single mums..having a kid
would reduce your singles demographic too.

You're lacking certainty, first meets are the first impression. Don't be so wishy-washy with the ??. Be assertive, have in mind what you want to do.

Mmmm, it seems shallow how you state "beautiful" as something you absolutely love, like you're gonna trip over your tongue, plus including cute - refers to looks as well?

Proof-read.. capitalize, and some of your text is f*cked up.

Well, it's getting closer...

In your Interests field, add: BJJ, Cooking

The profile just needs a bit of tweaking. Allow me:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Energy to spare, I really like Martial arts, BJJ in particular. (Bonus if you know what that is! ) Also - I like any sport that challenges me both physically and mentally.

I love to cook, and I do not do a bad job of it if I do say so myself. No casualties, so far... Maybe I can cook you dinner some evening? ;)

Any kind of music that makes me think, is cool. I love movies, too - just about anything, but just not really into SUPER GORE like Hostel and that type of CRAP!!!

I am known to wear my heart on my sleeve. This has been one of the best things about me, I've been told, but sometimes I feel like it may be one of my biggest downfalls? I guess it all depends on who I'm near. I don't think I'd have it any other way.

There are a few things I absolutely love in women- green eyes, dark hair, short, cute, beautiful to me, sense of humor, and above all a Zest for life! A passion for something!!! No matter what it is, tell me about it and make me understand it from your point of view. I look forward to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It still sounds like you, makes your points, re-organized a bit, not too blah blah blah blah. Whaddya think?

Go back into your profile/edit for the email settings on age and select "any".

Let me help you here....

There is a section called... "About me" but you've managed to include: "there are a few things i absolutely love in women, green eye's, dark hair, short, cute, beautiful"

Stick to describing yourself... not listing the requirements of your dream girl b/c that is just a recipe for disaster. Don't give a lady a reason to disqualify herself.
