Yes, a full body shot will help along with a couple of your pictures are not that flattering so you might want to rethink having them up.
Play up your positives. I don't know how many times I see profiles where a guy wants a woman that loves sports. But you just have 'sports'...so what sports do you like? What do you play? what are your favorite teams?
Well I'm 6'1" with brown hair and brown/green eyes.
delete..it's at the top of the profile and they see your pictures.
I just graduated from Ashford University and am in the process of looking for a job.
Expand on this. What did you major in? Did you switch majors? Take out the 'process of looking for a job' and put 'exploring my career potentials.'
In the meantime, I work at a gas station and trying to figure out where to go next.
delete. Sounds like you have no direction
I love playing and watching sports. They have always been a huge part of my life.
again, expand.
I love the outdoors during the warmer months. I love to go camping, fishing, sitting around a bonfire, and just taking a walk along the river. I love to cuddle up to movies and listen to music. Most importantly, my family means the world to me. They are my everything so I am very family oriented. I love dogs and can't wait til I have my own place and can get a few.
This is pretty good but take out getting the place of your own. Just say how you love dogs
I'm probably one of the nicest people you would meet, but my downfall is that I'm shy at first. I'd rather sit back and observe rather than be the center of attention. But once I am comfortable around you, I could talk your ear off.
The first line doesn't come off well for you. Just say "I'm am a nice person. When in a crowd, I tend to be reserved at first and will just sit to observe people (makes for great entertainment too ;) After I get warmed up, I tend to mix in." No you don't have to use it verbatim but it gives you an idea on how to say it without looking like you are too shy.
I'm up for meeting anyone so don't be shy and drop me a line. :)
Now, if you change how you are shy, then you can keep this line. Otherwise you are saying "oh it's ok for me to be shy, but you can't".
The way I look at profiles is there should be at least 3 sections: one about you, one about your interests and one about what you want in a date/relationship.
Good luck :)
