I made this profile and created the bio with the intent to make a filter.
So far all I get is "***hole" emails.
I'm honest and that's not going to change, however, opinions are always welcome... | |

not sure if you really care what others think... but you seem judgmental... not just honest.... honest is ok when needed... judgmental is not... you spend a lot of time talking about what you can't stand and less on what you are looking for... it is very abrasive... | |

If you're just looking for friends, what difference does the rest of it make?
"Jerks" are just guys who expect to fail so they pre-emptively act like idiots so they have an excuse. Is that you? | |

| AM I really that big a jerk? (profile review) Posted: 6/11/2012 11:05:23 PM | | Its all in the wording, bro - ending every phrase with "...I don't want to meet you" comes off as SUPER negative. I'd redo it, listing the same information, but in a positive way: "If you.....then I'd probably want to meet you" | |

| AM I really that big a jerk? (profile review) Posted: 6/11/2012 11:52:49 PM | | The irony is if women didn't want to know they wouldn't write at all. They're challenging/testing you. If you can't handle it you've written the wrong profile. | |

| AM I really that big a jerk? (profile review) Posted: 6/12/2012 1:13:41 AM | | I'm probably one of the rare ones that doesn't think your profile is that bad. It does come off as negative but not shallow so that's a good thing. It definitely shows that you have a unique personality and maybe a bizarre sense of humor as well. Honestly it seems like you're joking even. If you want more serious replies though I'd shorten your list if what you don't want and add in some types of things that you do like in the women that you'd want to have contact with. | |

| AM I really that big a jerk? (profile review) Posted: 6/12/2012 2:11:21 AM | Jerk. Nah, you're being yourself which is a-ok. You could have written down that you recently saved a litter of puppies from a burning building but then, that wouldn't be honest. Unless you really did that... in which case, would probably take away from the negatives on your profile.
I agree that the profile gives people a glimpse into your personality, especially your sense of humor. But the phrase gets a little redundant. If you repeat it enough, it sticks in your head, 'I don't want to meet you' times ten. It brings down the 'I want to meet you' meter, I would assume. The llama anus thing too... didn't leave a great taste in my mouth err mind I mean. Burpy/farty thing, that's honesty. But I mean... who likes people who fart in front of you? And burping, especially around food or while talking, is a big no no. These are expected things, at least I am with you on this one.
There are some things in there that need some work. One thing unrelated to the actual written part of the profile, you may want to include another pic of your face without the sunglasses on, it kinda gives off a 'I am so much cooler than you because I wear sunglasses inside' vibe. Except the one with the tattoo. Tattoos are cool. The only pic where your eyes are seen has a lot of editing around it. Seeing your face and eyes is important.
The written part. From rocking faces to McChicken is just fine. Everything after the llama thing is just fine. You may want to change the age limit thing if you're not looking for girls who are ten years younger than you though. My main suggestions would be to add a plain old pic of your face, and to do something about the parts between the dollar store and the llama. The MMA thing is ok because it's another interest. The g-spot thing is hit or miss because I can tell that it's both a joke and yet somehow an honest request. Dollar store thing is fine but it's redundant, if you can't buy yourself a McChicken what are you doing at a dollar store?
I have nothing against them but why a llama?
Last thing, I know I'm just some random guy who happened to take on this review but, why not read over your profile again. Try thinking about how someone else would look at you. If you think you found anything worth changing go do it dude. If not, no one is forcing you to. | |
