Can get some profile reviews please?Page 1 of 1    
Can anyone please give me an honest review of my profile? All opinions are welcome.

I've been at this for a while now, but I just can't seem to get any responses.

I have no idea why no one is responding. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

How ironic is this? I am posting on here to get some advice on why my profile doesn't generate responses and lo and behold my thread gets no responses!

LOL, now thats funny. Dont be shy people, even a one word opinion on my profile would suffice.

Thanks again.

Hope to hear from you soon....feel free to msg me. Have a great day!!!
drop this, sounds needy, and is redundant.

The first couple of lines of your profile show up in searches and e-mails, so thats your place to be clever. Also, make sure your main pic shows up well as a thumbnail. Any moderately attractive woman on here is going to get a dozen e-mail a day, so work it like hyper speed dating or something.....


Not that I have any luck here myself, but the above are common "errors" most of the regular profile reviewers would probably point out.

Plan a fun first date it impresses a woman.. great suggestion from Profile Writing Tips found at the top of this forum.
--attention MEN---
There are certain rules about blind internet dates, such as meeting in public, in a well-lit place, etc. Suggesting something that breaks these rules may put some women on edge, no matter how sweet your intentions. Long walks alone on a beach at midnight <- warning. Also, the need to be the confident leader with anwers is especially important for you. Women are very visual creatures; take advantage of this and give them something to fantasize about. She'll picture what you're wearing based on your pictures, and your voice from your writing style. If your first date is, let's say dinner, describe the meal, the conversation, the environment, etc. Let her literally taste the food while she's reading your profile. Make it sound like a page from a romance novel, with y'all as the heroes, and she's yours.


All the best and Happy Holidays;
Darnia

Thank.

Hmm, I would switch your main profile pic to one of your last three...they show you better. Hang on, I'm reading over the rest of it...

Your profile definitely isn't bad...the overall tone is pretty positive which is good. You mention some interesting things about yourself which again, is good, although you may want to expand on them some, such as what type of cooking or particular dishes you've been working on. You mention travel as one of your interests...where are some of the places you've been? What did you do there? Do you have a favorite destination you've been to so far? What movies do you like? What soccer and hockey teams do you follow?

What are your initial contact messages to women like? I'm wondering if maybe there's something there that might inadvertantly be causing an issue. You can message me if you don't want to say publicly.

Thanks for taking the time, I took your advice on the pic. As for the messages, I can admit they are not the most exciting reads and can come off quite bland, but I was never one to express myself with written words, I just feel my personality does not come out.

I feel its difficult to write a message without coming off as desparate or creepy or even pushy. But I know that its imperative to have a good first message otherwise you wont get the traffic flowing to your profile.

Yep, that picture is much better. OK, hit me with one of your standard messages...I bet we can sort this out and get you some better results ;)
I tried messaging you that same thing but your settings won't allow for messages from people in the US.

Big: I found the biggest factor is photos/appearance so if you are not getting your foot in the door like you like, then improve that. Nicer clothes, pose, environment may help, see a pro photographer.

Small:
username = boring; Try something fun
Headline = lame; Try something funny
That first quote = confused; If you want to put a quote put a REAL/INSPIRATIONAL/POPULAR/FUN/ or FUNNY quote and dont be lazy, find out who said it. Better yet put a semi-rediculous/fun/funny quote you made yourself.
"Hi Ladies" = I'm a perv; Delete all "ladies"
"man seeking a woman" = DUH! Your profile is a lil on the long side, if you fill it with redundant/repeats them you will seem boring/lame. You need to find a FEW unique words to describe yourself not the whole friking good-person dictionary.
Age reductions 33 - 38 = I'm an idiot. Lol jk. Was your inbox out of control full with ppl 18-32? Or 39-99? I dont think so. You are 39!!! What's wrong with a 39!!!, 40, 41 female?

Last but not least, be a real dad. Stop spending your time on online dating and use it on your children. Take your children with you on all your wonderful date ideas and your interest. And you probably have a better chance finding women when you become a real dad.

WOW, tell me how you really feel. LOL

Appreciate the candor. Though unless you knew me you cant say I should be a real dad. A real dad doesnt use his kids to meet women, though I do see the benefits. :-)

Thanks

Ya sorry about that, I guess I went overboard. I must have been upset at something else, but I am annoyed by people who lie to their family/friends/god and get married only to get divided and break up the family (get back with your baby mamma). Anyway its not you it's me. Dont take it personal. Have a good one

You write "I am an ambitious, passionate, and fun loving man who has a genuine sense of herself and is willing to share that unconditionally, respectfully and honestly. " I'm pretty sure that should be Himself rather than Herself.

its fine.

the woman want unreal expectations and unless you fit into a category like a harley rider, black, a cowboy or are 21yo - then you better have enormous wealth. Youre probably too poor for the woman you are contacting.

I would take down the pic of you in the jacket. You look okay in it but the room is a mess. I don't think that pic is doing you any favours. I don't know which pic you had as your main originally but I think the hockey one is the best. Just crop it so it shows up better as a thumbnail.
