There is very little to respond to on your profile, that may be the reason you aren't getting the attention you wish. Your profile will work as hard as the effort you put into it.

Here are some great profile writing tips, give them a read and see what you can apply to yours. Then once you've made some changes, come back into this thread and ask for more feedback if you like.

Not much said in your profile. Change photos - surely there is more to you than your tats.

Remove the comment about meeting in a secluded place. Are you nuts? No woman in her right mind is going to meet you in a secluded place.

You seem well-spoken - you have a better average vocabulary. Prove it. Craft a decent profile that describes you and the woman you are looking for here - and do it with a little creativity that makes you stand out a bit from the crowd.

New pics are better but not great. In fact, they are almost the same shot. Try to get a good variety. Your primary picture should be a nice head shot with you smiling and looking into the camera. And take off the hat! An outdoor pic is a good idea, natural light is always flattering.

I don't see the point of the smileys in your profile, the location is odd and it is just distracting. They are better saved for email or forum posts.

You like smart women and good conversation, yet you've written the absolute minimum about yourself. Expand on some of your interests, tell us what you're passionate about, inject a bit of personality into the whole thing. There's not much in here now to catch a smart woman's attention.

And definitely run it through a grammar check when you are done - smart women will notice the many errors.

Good luck.
