Posted: 8/10/2005 9:45:58 PM | I just uploaded a bunch of pics to my account and wanted some honest feedback from guys and girls about what works and what doesn't. You can comment on my personal description too if you'd like.
Tell me I look short, fat, ugly, too dark, too pale, too whatever. As long as its honest and meant to be constructive I won't take it personally.
And remember, glass houses......
Thanks. | |

Posted: 8/10/2005 10:39:42 PM | But the thing is, you're asking everyone and anyone to critique you and to be totally honest. Don't throw in that "glass houses" comment after it, because it negates your entire request. For example, you're asking someone who looks ugly not to say they think you look ugly.
I'm not saying anything's negative about your profile--from what I can see you're a good looking guy. | |

Posted: 8/10/2005 10:43:20 PM | It was meant more as a joke and not a serious disclaimer.
You commented more about the last two words of my post than all of my pics.....maybe I have the gift of writing. 
Thanks for your feedback. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 4:13:39 PM | Your pics look great. you have a nice, natural smile. I would ditch the one where you are shirtless. We can tell you have a decent bod from the other pics plus your face is blurry.
Good luck! | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 4:38:29 PM | Yeah, I debated the one of me shirtless. While it was a totally candid shot and I'm not blatantly flexing or anything, I also didn't want to be lumped into a category of cheesiness for having any kind of shirtless shot.
I'm still torn on this one. I really appreciate your feedback. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 6:33:37 PM | | You crave attention and you spend way too much time working on your biceps. You're generally conceited and a softy when it comes to girls. You're likely to get your heart broken from time to time. You fancy yourself smarter than most, and you probably are, but sometimes this works to your disadvantage. You find yourself alienated from others; they often don't understand you. This is why you take up with karma pushers. You feel if you're not making a differnce with people in your social circle, maybe you can make a differnce for the whole universe. Funny how we do that. We wouldn't, for instance, say something like: I can't lift this car, but maybe I can lift that train. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 8:48:43 PM | I can't take anything personal because I asked for honest criticisms but I was looking for people to check out my pics and profile and give me hints on how to make it better, NOT a psycho-analysis into my life.
If you think I'm conceited, am a meathead muscle freak, an attention whore and a softy, then that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But the purpose in this thread is for you to tell me exactly what in my profile makes you think that and possibly offer advice on how to make it better.
You sounded more like a palm reader than a fellow on-liner who might understand why someone would want to improve their online profile.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile anyways. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:29:09 PM | i didn't say you're a meathead. And I don't think I said anything mean. I was telling you how your profile strikes me. I can hardly expect that that has anything to do with you -- that is, unless yours is a good profile. So if what i said hit home, it's a good profile. You want someone who likes you, right? I read only what was there.
(There's a method) | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:02:30 PM | Hi there,
You're a good looking guy; no politeness here. I'm not attracted to a lot of Asian guys I think because of body size; a fair number seem to be kinda petite, and it's not so much what I'm attracted to. But there are Asian guys who I'm quite attracted to - the non-petite - and you fit in there
For pic feedback? Lose the standing-by-the-bottle one, it looks too goofy/yobbo. And the one with you shirtless and something big and yellow in the foreground, I'd suggest getting rid of too - but find another one without the yellow thing in the foreground; or take a new one like it
Leave the rest
:) | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:38:27 PM | Myriad, fair enough. Like I said, I wanted honesty and you were honest so thanks for that.
Here's the money question, based on how it struck you, any comments on how to make it better? I certainly don't want anyone thinking I'm "conceited" if that message is coming across. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 10:41:56 PM | playethic, thanks for the input, very useful. You're the second person to give the thumbs down to the shirtless pic so I'm leaning towards getting rid of it.
The "standing-by-the-bottle" pic is a famous landmark. I don't know if you noticed but that bottle is technically the southernmost point in the US located in Key West, Florida. I don't know if that changes your perception of that pic though.
Thanks again. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 11:20:40 PM | the first paragraph sounds a bit job interviewy. Maybe that's what it is. I'm smart, have a great smile, etc. maybe let people decide that for themselves. maybe try showing or exhibiting rather than saying. there's already a pic of you smiling, so you don't need to say that. and when you're writing naturally, as you are in the second paragraph when you're talking about you're "helen," you come across as smart, so you don't need to say that. helpful?
oh and chicks dig the shirts off pics. i used to not have one, but the responses increased when i put it up. It just goes to show what girls are really into. heh. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 11:27:18 PM | nuttin' wrong with your profile. You're talking over the heads of the ignorati out there but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If they can't understand what you wrote they will frustrate you in person by not being able to understand what you say so you might as well wedd 'em out.  | |

Posted: 8/14/2005 4:42:39 PM | Your first picture is really nice. Beautiful smile. 
The second and third pictures are great too. You look great in those sunglasses. The third shows you as easy going and laid back. A fun loving sort.
The fourth picture, I can barely see you in. The giant conch republic 90 miles to cuba sign is dominating most of the picture. i'd loose that one.
The one with the yellow cup and you with your shirt off is blurry and the cup dominates the picture. A picture with your shirt off is great, just make sure we can see you. :) you are good looking and built so flaunt it baby! 
The rest of your pictures are just fine.
Your About Me is awesome. Very specific and nicely worded. You say exactly what you want. A girl likes to know that you know what you are looking for. All in all, nice job!

Posted: 8/16/2005 10:40:39 AM | Lizard, are you referring to my main pic? Never thought I'd be asking a dude this question but which pic would you gather is my best one?
Ladies, feel free to chime in. | |
