| | I plan to update my profile in good timePage 1 of 1 | | I've been curious to know how I look on POF but of course, I need more recent photos, which I plan to acquire when I get to it. So 1-10 on my profile and give feedback. I will accept honest opinions but I won't accept 100% critical replies. I am looking for a relationship from 18 to 22 with a lady so those are my requirements. So what do you think? | |

Headline = 6
Pics = 3 (you = 7; but the pic isn't great)
Interests = 7
Profession = 1
About Me = 8
First Date = 2
<-- click my History button for more on pics.
Change the profession.
Suggest a First Date.
I have read your forum posts. There are real, available women on POF. I am average/below and very successful here.
A 10% reply rate on e-mails is good.

Posted: 5/26/2012 4:27:19 PM | You use the word 'amazing' to describe yourself 3 times yet there was no evidence of anything amazing.
You tell us you're amusing or hilarious 3 times yet there was no humour in your profile.
You tell us you're intelligent yet you have typos in your profile.
Instead of trying to convince your viewer that you are all those adjectives, BE those adjectives.
I hesitated to actually post any suggestions on your profile as you seem so inflexible in your opening post. You will need to get over that in a very big hurry if you are going to succeed with online dating. | |

Posted: 5/26/2012 5:53:02 PM | You are young and new to online dating your profile reflects this we all had to start somewhere and most of us received some help along the way...
Your currant attempt needs some help so you can be seen to your best advantage...
1)16 I
2) 7 me
3) 4 my
This many references to self make you appear self centered full of yourself... it is a challenge to explain yourself with out using so many me, myself and I's.. Try!
Three statements stood out as problematic in that they made you seem moody , unpredictable and lacking self confidence....
1)I make amazing food when I'm in the mood. You could just say you enjoy cooking maybe mention a few of your best dishes...
2 ) I am great with anyone who is interested in me. Are you unpleasant with people who aren't ? Frankly I can't spin that one would suggest deleting it..
3) I may not appear as much. This shows that lack of self esteem again best to just delete it..
Lastly you make no real mention of the type of girl or relationship you are looking for..
best

Posted: 6/3/2012 4:59:32 AM | Yep your profile is full of stuff that's no good and dating site cliches. Too vague. Too much "nice guy" . Too much I am with no evidence. I would edit it for you but by the time I've taken out everything bad there's barely anything left.
Start again. Write more about yourself, in DETAIL. Post it on this thread and then we'll have something to work with. | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 2:13:37 AM | | What if I make things brief about myself so there can be questions after they talk to me? The way I see it, why can't they get to know me better in person, rather than them reading everything about me then judging right after? | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 4:12:24 AM | This will not work....
it is your responsibility to present a profile that will generate interest...
girls do not wants to play 20 questions to get to know you that is not fun it is tedious..
You say you are timid and shy until we get to know you again putting the burden of drawing you out on another...
A more positive approach would be 3 short paragraphs first tell your reader about your self.. second talk about hobbies interest and goals... third describe the type of girl you are looking for...
I seem to be reading the word judging a lot in profiles lately mostly in those of young men your age saddens me ... the truth is yes you will be judged some will find you worthy some won't concentrate on the ones that do and you feel an interest in... | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 11:53:32 AM | | Brutal honesty there but I respect that. There isn't much about me to sell myself to them though and if I be honest and real, there won't be many interests. I was hoping to make brief notes about myself but I think it's the photos that I need to add to make it look a little better. | |

I recently met someone with a 1438 word profile. Multiple phone calls prior to meeting averaged 1-1/2 to 5 hours, the first date (lunch) lasted 7 hours, and there hasn't been a single awkward moment of silence.
The more information you give, the more there is to relate to, identify with and discuss. A couple hundred words (or many thousands) can't come close to defining a person. There is always more to talk about.
There isn't much about me to sell myself to them though and if I be honest and real, there won't be many interests.
Talk about how you feel, what you think and believe. That is more important than what you do. | |

Posted: 7/2/2012 7:55:35 AM | | I have updated my profile the best way I can, I just need more photos of me and I will add more but rate my profile again so that I can see the improvements I made so far. | |

Posted: 1/15/2013 4:11:48 AM | Profile text- 7 (talk more about the kind of person you are looking for to bump it up to a 9 or 10)
Pics- 4 (Your pictures make you look about 13, be a man not a boy, and you need to tidy your bedroom) | |
