Posted: 5/20/2012 10:51:22 AM | The photos are blurry and we can't see you clearly. You need to let someone else take your photo, and SMILE.
The sunglasses shot may be OK for a gallery but you'll need to add at least one more casual full length (shirt on, shades off).
The first impression is going to be important, so work that smile. Seriously.
Add a few more specific Interests in that field. Replace the generics.
The profile itself has a decent about of humour, but I don't really recall any specific details. (other than not poisoning anyone because I can relate to that....)
What are your introduction messages like? | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 11:53:07 AM | | The girl doesn't think you match up or she would reply. So nothing too bad about that...take better photos, and fix your spelling mistakes/typos on your profile. The best way to get them to reply is to get in shape and make sure they can see you are in your pics.. If you push that for 3 months you will get replies. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 2:28:03 PM | Your profile picture has a girl's arm around you. The last one on the end would have been good with a smile and no hat or glasses.
Your paragraph isn't bad, except when I read your likes I thought walks and movies would interest a girl, but then you said Horror was your favorite-okay, walks then.
Quite a few probably don't like smoking. You might find someone that smokes and likes horror. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 4:57:56 PM | I normally say:
Hiya im david ,
I see we have this in common and that we seem to like most of the same stuff, would you fancy talking somemore to see how we get on .
Hope to hear from you soon,
David
I dont normally take many photos or have many photos taken , plus I always look worse in photos than real life. | |

That will receive the exact response you have been getting. No one faults you, we all thought that at first. Luckily we eventually started trying other things and found the simple approach is best. Your opening sentence should only be one line and a sentence or two. You should never try to make her think you are the guy for her on your opening message, it will not work. She has to choose to speak with you.
See my post to this fellow here which contain useful info on this subject which I just posted. I promise you it will yield much better results.

Posted: 5/20/2012 5:24:10 PM | David,
Not a great message really; I would recommend altering your approach a bit. Say the girl you're interested in shares a love of zombies or a sports team, you could message her like "Best way to kill a zombie: shot gun or flame thrower?" or "Man, the Twins are awful this year, what do you think they need to do to improve the team for next year?" Give her something specific to reply to. Don't ask her if she wants to talk or say you hope to hear from her soon; women tend to like the more take charge kind of guys with proper amounts of confidence. Instead you could say that you're looking forward to hearing her answer/thoughts/opinion. Keep the first message relatively short, but not so short as "Hi, how are you?"
Best of luck. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 5:26:26 PM | Pics are not good and lose the unsmiling sunglasses shot and take out anyone else in the pic. Get a full length one and clearer. Take more care with your spelling and that you dont have a car is a huge problem.
You are making a mistake in thinking that women are really serious on these kind of dating sites I think. Just because you have a profile up, doesnt mean much. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 5:53:25 PM | | People here emphasize to make a complete, informative profile to get more responses, others say that nothing matters but a hot-looking pic of yourself, which one is it? I'm sure you can fill up a 1,200-word long profile but not get it looked at if your picture looks lame. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 6:01:34 PM | JasonAlexis, It is both quite simple. People is not singular. Different strokes for different folks. Take me for example, some women hate baldies; however some find it irresistible(Has anyone offered to lick you head lately?).
My advise, when judging someones profile and pics just remember you get out what you put in. If someone only typed the bare minimum than that is all they expect to get out of the site. Lol Office Space FTW! Profiles need flare.
Dont waste your time if they did not put any in. | |

Posted: 11/19/2012 4:25:21 PM | It's funny how a co-worker of mine gets more messages than me from women, he's younger at 25 but he looks scruffy with his pony tail and his 3-day unshaven beard, his profile looks messier than a garbage dump, I'm talking about half his words misspelled, yeah all 9 of them, that's how many words he put in his profile to describe himself...
"Hi Ther Im loking for fun womens to partie".
His profile pic consists of him wearing a "CAT" (from Caterpillar machines) baseball hat, shirtless and with a budweiser in his hands sitting in a picnic table. He only has that pic in his profile. Are you kidding me, and this guy is getting so many responses? (they are trashy girls, who knows, that's why they probably dig him). | |
