O.K.,First off,your pic looks like a screenshot from an 'Indiana Jones' flic.

You might want to read this...

Your interests,

If you remove the dash (-),a few of your interests should be seachable.(they'll show
up in purple and be underlined.)This means prospective fishies searching under say,'food'
will have your profile come up.

Your About Me,


photography
art / galleries
pubs
psychology
comparative religion
thought provoking films


...Should be added to your interests.(see above^)


I have blond hair, big blue eyes, am a plus size woman with a sweet and sensual, but occasionally salty personality.


(My emphasis )'Salty' may be a negative to a lot of people if they don't know this means piquancy or having a pungent wit.Perhaps another choice of adjective(s)?

You don't appear that specific about what you're looking for in a date.Or decribing yourself,for that matter.

What I mean is ,your adjectives have very broad meaning."Sweet",for instance, has variing degrees to everyone.One person may consider it pleasant,another can find the same degree cloying or sickly-sweet.Maybe some specifics?Affectionate, thoughtful, giving,etc.

Your profile is light reading,but I'm not sure there is enough in there to motivate a lot of men to contact you.I know I wouldn't be,not offense to you or your interests.

Check out 'profile writing tips' pinned post at the top of this forum.

Good Luck!

What does your profile say....interesting, intelligent, warm, romantic, restless

I like and agree with Sasquatch2's points. Da man and his SO are the best in the biz

No Pic, 35+ age group, BBW, kids and a smoker to boot. Well talk about stacking the odds against you. Your profile isn't bad but to get some real attention it has to be near perfect if you are going to try and over some of the hurdles facing you.

Number one thing you can do to get big results. One really good face shot of yourself by a mall photographer showing off a brilliant smile and sparkle in your eyes.

Number two think to do would be to quit smoking. I won't bother with the health issues, I smoked 25 years, I know we ignore those. Consider this though....former smokers and non smokers will not date smokers. Thats about 50+% of the men out there. Therefore you can more than double the number of guys that would be interested in dating you just by quiting. Isn't that reason enough?

Last thing you can do to your profile is talk about fun, exciting and sexy things your interested in doing with the people you date. Guys resonate well with this, nice
easy going visuals.

Best of luck!

Bandito

As posted before...these are all valid points. I too am trying to give up a nicotine addiction, it is hard! I do like (your name), the lair picture , but you should have other ones in your profile that any one looking will find. Another toughie for me as well, I take awful pictures...I think all your thoughts are good ones, you should just expound on them more. What do you like about thunderstorms? My profile gets lousy reviews, but it is a true summary of who and how I am. If you are comfortable enough to "just ramble" on about yourself in an orderly fashion, it will fill out your profile some more. Open up and let your self bring a mental picture of you, and what you are seeking. Great luck and hope to catch you around in the forums! M
