| Hi just arrived Posted: 4/30/2012 12:32:38 AM | I can add a few things to help you. Do you have other shirts then wife beaters? Make yourself look a little more presentable. Women can appreciate a guy who takes pride in his appearance.
I see you appear to be a few extra pounds not average so I would change that unless that's an old picture. Also, there is no need to post a car you have crashed and depending how redneck the girls are in your area I'm not sure they will appreciate the tractor pic either.
Lose the whole caption about trying not to laugh at your brother talking about Obama, isn't necessary and could do you more harm then good. People could take it you don't like him or something worse and they could love him and not email you for that reason. Take your profile and copy and paste it to a word document and run a spell check.
I started reading it and stopped because it's just one big block of misspelled text. Break up your about me section into paragraphs. That's all I have, I think that if you did the things I have mentioned above you will have better luck. Good Luck. | |

| Hi just arrived Posted: 4/30/2012 5:01:50 PM | | No problem, usually more people reply. I think it was the time of night you posted. I would update it and then ask for another profile review during the day time. Most people search for newest threads and your probably got hidden. I like the new pic. Good luck. | |

| Hi just arrived Posted: 4/30/2012 5:19:32 PM | Drop the thing about the rejection, it comes across as a bit whiny and self-pitying which are not nice traits. Don't mention that you are unemployed either (including all euphemisms such as "between jobs" :) ) I'd also drop the bit about the limp, it's not incredibly relevant. Remember you're trying to paint yourself in a more positive light.
And finally....it's not how you stand by your car... | |

| Hi just arrived Posted: 5/1/2012 11:53:26 AM | | Just a couple of things. Be honest about your appearance and spelling and grammar count. | |

| Hi just arrived Posted: 5/1/2012 4:19:35 PM | | ok i ran it thru my editing program i think it looks better. thanks for the advice. | |

| Hi just arrived Posted: 5/1/2012 4:57:51 PM | You are just 'hanging around', 'tired of the real world dating scene', 'easily bored with life' and want to 'talk about the weather or whatever' . This screams yawn to me.
Other than working on cars, what else do you enjoy? What do you get up to with your friends? Add some 'non-general' details that women can relate to. Not many of us know, or care, what a 55 Chevy short bed is.
The pic in the brown wife beater has got to go. Your shirt is wrinkled and stained. Also, no need to state your age and height in the about me portion. It is already on your profile and is redundant. | |
