| | WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LIKE ME?Page 1 of 1 | ARGHHH.... I really don't know why no one (except the usual wackadoodles) contact me. Maybe something in my profile is annoying...or snotty.
I am a really nice person, cute, sincere and am very honest about everything.
Maybe someone would take time to look at my profile and see what advice they might have.
Thanks!!! | |

Posted: 6/25/2012 11:18:29 PM | It's kind of a hit-and-miss thing with internet dating. I've done it off and on for awhile, with varying results. It's a matter of just keep on trying, I'd say.
And honestly, I don't think your profile is bad at all. My suggestions are minor nitpicks, at best:
1) You have some very beautiful daughters and grandchildren, but it's you you're trying to sell on here, not them. I would say mention them in the profile as you have, but do without their pictures.
2) Ordinarily, I'd do without the deer in the backyard picture, but the caption for it is hilarious. Keep it.
3) Don't call your second picture 'stupid,' as it's just putting yourself down. I think it's fine. In fact, I'd put another funny caption on it about trying to pose like a teenager or something. :)
4) I'd say lose the "put this on your profile if..." thing. It's cute, but I'm just not a fan of those "badges" or whatever they call them.
But yeah, aside from that? Top notch. You'll rope in yourself an old stallion at some point, I'm sure. | |

Posted: 6/26/2012 7:23:21 AM | Hmmm... you tell your viewer to 'scootch along' twice and that they 'must love kids' ...
I believe men know when to 'scootch along' and there's no reason to point it out to them. In your age range, most men are parents or grandparents too. If they were not interested in someone with a family, they wouldn't be contacting you in the first place. Again, why lay out a 'demand' for something obvious?
Remove the photos of your kids/grandkids for so many reasons. More photos of you - why not just a nice plain closeup big toothy forward-facing smile for your main? Let someone else take the photo.
Are you writing to men YOU find interesting? | |

Posted: 6/26/2012 2:01:02 PM | I see you've listened to a few pieces of advice from fellow daters. Profile looks good, you come across as an easy-going and somewhat corky type. That's great, if that's who you are. Ultimately, yes, you want your profile to attract but you also want someone who embraces who you are.
Have you thought of modifying your opening line into something as follows, 'I am very much a girly girl but low maintenance as well.' saying that you don't dress up much anymore may be interpreted as you not putting effort into the way you look. | |

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention you need to fill in the Interests field. Go for 6-9 one or two-word items that describe your favourites, ie: tv show, comedian, sport you play, team you follow, card/board game, holiday spot, secret talent like baking, grilling juggling, music genre or artist, something on your 'bucket list', author... clues! This is where you can show your personality, humour, and set the tone for the profile. It also gives guys things to find in common and hints to start more personal introduction messages. And the words will be searchable. | |

Posted: 7/9/2012 3:36:39 PM | I second the notion of making the pic in the blue top your main one. You look good in blue.
Your intial question? It isn't that people don't like you. There are fewer available men in our age range -- good news for me, bad news for you. Women past the age of 45 have more competition. I don't know anything about Longview, Washington but going by the fact that you have a horse I assume you are in the country, so there are even fewer people available. For this reason strike the anti-hunting reference unless a hunter is an absolute dealbreaker. If you live in the country you have just excluded two-thirds of the men. | |

Posted: 7/9/2012 3:47:25 PM | | Profile looks fine. My only suggestion would be that you take out the two negative statements at the end - about hunters and that you don't want clingy or dependent men. I am not pro-hunting by any means but as hunters have pointed out to me, a slaughterhouse is far more tortuous and inhumane than a hunter who knows what he/she is doing. | |
