| | Anything I could do better?Page 1 of 1 | Not really getting a whole bunch of activity... can I chalk that up to the male/female ratio, or is there something glaringly wrong with the content/tone of my profile? Perhaps more pictures?
Maybe I should tone down the nerd a little, idk.
Thanks for the help. | |

- Your profile seems generally good to me. Pictures are good. Writing style is relaxed.
- It's interesting to me that you're extremely educated (an aspiring doctor), and yet the latter part of your profile is written in this shorthand (lazy style - don't feel like spelling today) "cuz", "bro", "srs", "sry", "tho". Given the quality of doctor's signatures, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised! Also you're still fairly young, so you "may" get away with it. However, in the former part of your profile, you spell everything out while establishing a "fragmented" relaxed writing style. Both styles are fine, but the inconsistency may put some women off (I'm not at all sure about that though). I'm guessing you wish to show that you can separate your relaxed self from your work.
- More importantly, you have absolutely no mention of what you're looking for in a woman. Those who don't wish to guess may turn away.
Good luck! | |

You need to send out 20 messages a night here and PRAY for a handful of REPLIES a week. That is seriously your goal here. 3 to 5 replies per 100 messages.
Profile wasnt bad. Fix all spelling grammar errors.
You get EIGHT free pics use them ALL! Rotate the main pic once a week to maximize views.
Good Luck man

Posted: 7/25/2012 8:02:08 PM | Yeah, I didn't want to come across as too serious business... kinda a carry-over from the unfortunately large amount of time I spend on the internet :P
That's a good call though, didn't think to put what I was looking for in the about me section.
Thanks! | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 8:03:54 PM | Its the ratio dude. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, most girls (especially the really attractive ones) won't message you back. I been on for 3 weeks now, sent 17 messages and got nothing back so far. All the messages I sent were to females that actually fit my criteria and I fit theirs as well (age range, height requirement, common interests).
Girls have a short attention span and they are generally busy, so when they get 10-15 new messages a day, its almost impossible for them to respond.
Your profile seems fine to me | |

Yeah, was referring to both. Kinda figured though.
Rotating main pic, that's a grand idea. Thanks! | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 9:37:17 PM | | It looks good. The current photos are fine but you need to add a few outdoors ones showing your whole body (in clothes) doing some activities. You write well. I think the nerd stuff suits your personality and doesn't really need to be toned down. | |

Posted: 7/25/2012 9:46:53 PM | When I had my newer photos up and before I put directly into my profile that I was getting called up and deploy this year with the guard I was getting 20-25 who emailed me first a week... Out of that 2-5 depending on the week I would want to date. But as soon as I told them what was going on they were gone.. So I put it in the profile because if they were emailing and knew it already they must have a strong enough interest to over look it.
Well the point is you can build a profile that stands out enough.
Go ahead and blame the ratio and half ass your profile.. I mean the ratio makes it harder. Women judging looks harsher online makes it harder.. etc Looking for an excuse is wasted energy as compared to looking for a solution. The more guys who exert little effort the easier it is for me make myself stand out. I ought to be very busy when I get back this time next year.. | |

Your "Holier Than Thou" Attitude in your profile is probably why you're not getting any replies. There are tons of guys here whose profile are more appealing and better than yours.
Take a hint. Work on your profile. | |
