| | I'm new here, looking for feedbackPage 1 of 1 | I signed up a few days ago, new to this whole online dating thing, so if anybody would like to take the time and review my profile, it would be much appreciated. Positive feedback would obviously be nice, but if you find anything that needs work, let me know. I can take criticism well, so be blunt if necessary.
Thanks.

Posted: 6/17/2012 6:31:03 PM | | you signed up a few days ago and already seeking a profile review?...man here it goes...first off you have no car which to provide transport to and that is a major deal breaker when it comes to what you are looking for because nobody wants to see a date in the passenger seat that cannot drive himself.work on that first..your pics neesd a major overhaul because you come off as a major psychopath judging by the fourth and fifth pics..that is a joke according to the captions and is really poor taste!.do you want that to reflect on the character that is you?..doubt so dump them and replace them quick!as you are new here you are in for the long ride because your profile is just one of many that ladies are competing for and it will take you a good while before you even get a response should you get one....my advice?..go out away from the computer and actually try to meet a woman because you will have much more success than trying to make a catch on the internet | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 6:34:07 PM | | I'm not seeking a profile review because of non-success, just because I haven't done this before. Thanks for the suggestions on the pictures, and for taking the time. As for the car, I'm not gonna lie about that, relationships shouldn't be based on lies. Doesn't usually end well. | |

Re: photos:
Deleting the jokey stabbing one was absolutely right (funny pic though). I'm laughing at the zombie pose, but the guy above could be right who said it looks psycho (to some?). The great thing is you can switch em around frequently. A girl might click past one of your thumbnails one day, and then later click on another one she likes better.
Re: text:
It's good. Well planned, well executed.
There's not too much information there but it reads too wordy to me (a shade).
Skip repeating what your friends tell you. Trite and worse, it implies you rely on others for your opinions.
Skip saying you are funny and just show you're funny. Classic newby mistake.
Re: responses
Guy above is definitely right about going out away from the computer. This venue shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's not for quitters, the easily discouraged, or people in a hurry.
Re: movie choices: excellent :D | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 9:01:49 PM | | The other picture I already deleted, he wasn't referring to the zombie one. Thanks for the advice, and don't worry, I'm not taking this too seriously. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 9:26:41 PM | It's pretty well done. For your age, really good!
Delete:
so if you want to get me piss drunk and act like an idiot, just move on to the next person's profile. Very negative statement and they will likely take you up on it even if they don't drink.
Add a couple sentences there about what type of relationship and who you are looking for. Give them something to identify with. Keep it positive.
Delete age from your Mail Settings.
Keep Fishing!!! | |

Posted: 7/15/2012 3:13:07 PM | | Well it's been a while now, I've sent out tons of messages and have had but one reply, and no reply to my reply after that. I'm not sending creepy messages, usually finding a common interest and going from there. Is something still wrong with my profile? I seem to be able to help a bunch of people in this forum but can't help myself. | |

Posted: 7/15/2012 10:52:26 PM | | I think it might be the picture of the newspaper. It of course shows you playing on the beach, but right next to the pic is the caption "Interim Health Director Resigns." Perhaps the ladies that don't bother to read the details of your profile think you're unemployed, preferring to spend your days goofing off at the beach? | |

Posted: 7/15/2012 11:48:35 PM | | I find that hard to believe, since if you looked at the picture, you would have seen a very distinct "Maui News." I live in Canada. :P | |

Posted: 7/16/2012 12:08:36 AM | | Ah, but remember, I said that if they DIDN'T read the details (i.e. your local) they might come to this conclusion... | |

Posted: 7/16/2012 12:41:13 AM | Woh too much going on in that profile. People can't cope with that much information.
Need to cut it down and the pictures and have it concise. A slice of you that contains what's important since alike attracts alike. It's impossible for any girl to have a sense of alikeness with that much stuff going on. | |

Posted: 7/16/2012 1:06:46 AM | Keep this part:
I'm a Christian, and my religion is important to me, so I hope to find somebody who shares my beliefs, but if not, then respects them.
Take out this part:
In return, I promise to not shove my Bible down your throat.
It's negative in general, and gives off the impression that you doubt your own beliefs, which women see as weakness.
Definitely shorten the profile. | |
