I've been a member on here for some time. With not a whole lot of luck.
I update my profile every so often but right now it's to the point of I just don't know what else to add or delete.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly Appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Hi mate,

I think the wolf bit might narrow down your options as some women may take it the wrong way.

I'm not sure it's nessecary to explain the Hookah, if a girl doesn't know it gives her something to ask you about in a message.

theres a little bit of negativity in there about 'the game' take it out, be as positive as you can.

maybe elaborate on the kind of hing you're looking for.

Happy hunting.

Thanks.
I just took out the Hookah , along with the wolf and the " the game " part. and rewritten it. Hopefully it's better then what it was.

to = too ( headline )

Be honest in your stats where you claim, 'non smoker' when in actual fact, you are.

You need more pics. Claiming to be athletic, but not having any photos to show your physique?

A movie isn't a good date idea. No one can converse. Leave that idea for a later date.

That all depends on your definition of a smoker.
But I shall change that. Thank you for pointing that out.

The Interests actually made me laugh. Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Relationships. Why not just add puppies and unicorns, too!? "Relationships" is not an Interest unless you're talking on the cosmic level. Why not add a favourite TV show? Food or cuisine? Hookah? A favourite holiday spot? Author? Something a girl can find in common with you.

Do you really need the age restrictions?

Just edited the " interests " Yes the age restrictions are needed. Other wise I wouldn't have them.

You have yet to adjust your headline as I suggested.

It takes a while to build a good profile and you may have to change it now and then. I find that the profiles that turn me off are your typical, ...love taking long walks in the park, I've been told by friends that I am ....... Funny , blunt , to the point profiles are the best because you know what the person is about. Disclose enough that women will get an idea of who you are, but not enough to leave some mystery so that the interest there is to feel curious, and intrigued to learn more. Also, watch your spelling. It shows you rushed through it. I was guilty of that when I put mine up and noticed a few spelling errors because I'm a very fast typist...spelling and proper grammar show you've put an effort into it. For those who aren't the writing type, there are a lot of websites which can show you the proper way to word a sentence and lots of websites that show you how to write a good profile as well.

good luck

My bad. I didn't realize you were so overwhelmed with incoming messages from 20-yr olds and 27-yr olds that you had to put up a barrier. It must be difficult being so desireable that you have to exclude someone who may be having a birthday on the weekend, but I guess if you are getting thousands of messages to choose from you need to have SOME limits. Carry on!

As an above poster said, you misspelled 'to' in your headline, should be 'too'
Your interests - it looks as if some of those are shows?? If so, they need to be capitalized. More pics, of you smiling and doing something fun. Hua.

My nephew was at Fort Drum years ago. Don't make the mistake he did, which was marrying a lady at least ten years his senior, who already had three children. They went on to have a baby together and are now divorced. She was after the financial security of being a military wife. My nephew's mother disowned him when he married her. Sad situation all around.

The military, no car and a smoker would lessen your chances I would say. You can be here for years and still have no luck. The profile is rather boring and bland and I would lose the negative comments you have made about yourself, stress your positive attributes and inject a bit of humour and originality. It is just rather dull overal, the way it is.

If a girl who is genuine, to start with, likes your pic, she may answer your request or not. Just the way it is.
