| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/5/2009 5:24:12 PM | Something isn't right concerning my profile but I think I need some help on what that something is (if not the whole thing). One woman a bit older than me is replying to a lot of my messages daily but I think she's kind of running me in circles. I sent a long detailed message to another woman about my age who was divorced with 2 kids and she just wrote "That was really nice, but I'm just taking time for myself right now. I'm not sure what I'm looking for lol ". Everyone else I message just doesn't reply.
I'm not trying to sound like a whiner about this, it's just that if there's something wrong with my profile that I'm not seeing I'd like to know now before I continue on anymore than I have.
So let me have it! I can take it.....I think  | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/5/2009 7:34:05 PM | You want the truth cowboy...you can't handle the truth! LOL jk Try the following: 1. SMILE in one of your pictures if not all. It only hurts for a second snap and attach to profile....DONE! 2. Try putting down what you are looking for in a woman (education, smart, funny, down-to earth, psycho) whatever you're out to find
Remeber you want to make the person laugh, remember you amogst the other men and want to start a conversation. Good luck | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/6/2009 12:18:45 PM | | Well I am smiling in some pictures. Maybe I'll just set one of them as the main photo. | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/6/2009 1:13:40 PM | heartofyours, You need better pictures than the cellphone/webcam variety. That just shows women that you aren't serious or just don't care. If you aren't then neither will they! They are also way too dark, maybe its my laptop's monitor but I don't think so. Get some taken outdoors of you smiling by someone else.
As for your about me profile, it's just ok if that is what you want. It's tending to sound alot like a vague unfocused laundry list of to dos, with a hint of whininess thrown in. You need to give yourself a little more thought about who/what you are, and a bit more explicit on what you want out of life and the kinds of women you desire. If you don't know what you want, then the women that respond to you don't know either... Get someone who knows you well to help you with this or read the profile tips thread at the top of this topic for more ideas. Good luck and good fishing, man! | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/6/2009 3:01:45 PM | | Well I'm really hot for older women particularly, but how can I put that without younger girls feeling weeded out? Also, the whininess. Could you tell me whereabouts I give that impression and what I need to do to have that fixed? | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/6/2009 3:29:46 PM | Definitely need better photos, I can’t tell what you look like at all!!!
As to interest in a bit older lady, try changing your first sentence as shown below.
I'll start by saying that family and relationships are without a doubt more important than anything to me. I am the oldest of 6 other siblings and they'll all tell you that I am constantly looking out for them. That tends to make me more mature for my age and I prefer my lady to be mature as well.
Try that and see how it works.
All the best, Ron | |

| Yeah, review please... Posted: 11/6/2009 7:46:41 PM | How much older are you talking about? If it's within 5 years, you have a chance. Much older than that and the women are thinking you're looking for a cougar and won't respond.
As a waaaaaay older woman, my first impression was that I'd have to clean up your house every time I came over. New photos, please.
You're obviously open to a woman with a child(ren) of her own. Why not mention that in the profile? You will be doing most of the introductory messages because women tend to search only a couple/few years younger than themselves and higher on the upper end. | |
