Well we can all see that you have a good sense of humour. Most people would post photos of them looking there best - but you chose photos of yourself looking your worst (presumably). I think you would struggle to find a worse photo of yourself than the one you have as your main profile pic.

A few thoughts.

More photos - women are visual, too. Got anything from any vacations? Anything outdoors?

For the question about 'Do you want kids', at 37 the question is 'Do you want to make new babies'? That's probably an easy answer. If you are thinking about single moms, you can easily add a note in the profile about whether or not you are open to that.

Who are you hoping to meet here? What will she be like? Use positive language and preferably some light-humour to describe her.

There is a line that reads something like, "Unfortunately, I give too much of myself..." or something like that. Delete that and work on that privately. The wrong type of woman will jump all over that.

When you are sending first messages, make the subject line anything other than Hi, Hey or Hello. Keep the note specific to a subject from her profile. Make an appropriate comment and ask one question so she has an easy way to respond. She will check you out - often in 'stealth' mode - and she may or may not write you back. Your profile should give enoug clues for her to decide if you have things in common. That's why a few more things in the Interests field may help - fave author, tv show, comedian, candybar, pet....

Good luck!

" believe I am a sort of a geek and at times a bit of a nerd."

If you were a woman in a restaurant and you opened the menu and it said ...

"We serve shit and only shit'

Would you eat there ? Would you even read the rest of the menu before you walked out in horror or laughter ?

How many woman want a "nerd" and a "geek" on their arm. in their bed ?

Think about what you are saying m8 and how you are saying it !

The rest of your profile is quite good in that it is somewhat heartfelt and genuine, endearing...but your use of geek and nerd is really not good unless you want very few dates.

Agree the pictures need some attention.
