pics:
ok main pic, lose 2 & 4 (the ladies hate the suggestion of competition, even quote "cousins" unquote) rotate #3

more pics needed


write-ups pretty good. SAY something about what you're hoping for from young ladies contacting you, do you want to hear from shy, outgoing, or what type? what attributes and interests would you like them to have? this gives readers a better sense of your preferences

First Date "how much money I have left(he he)," -dont' even joke about that (I'd drop that remark). "act as if" you were a millionaire slumming, at least, for a first date

Seriously - "jlow"? I'd say that's dangerously close to J-Lo (you know, the singer). People are going to assume you are a girl just by your name, and the women won't even bother looking at your profile.

Pictures - you need more variety, and a better main picture. I'm going to give you a link further down that has great advice for taking good pictures. Something outside would be nice - natural light is much more flattering. Get rid of the picture with the girl. Trust me on this one.

Headline - lame. We know you are looking - that's the reason everybody is on here! And really, few people are looking for an evil woman, so you probably don't need to clarify that either. Try to find something interesting or amusing, again to intrigue the viewer to want to know more about you. Think of it as an advertising tag line, rather than a mission statement.

Interests - find a few more. Some are rather vague (sports is a pretty broad subject) - can you be more specific? Show us the many interesting sides of you.

About Me - get rid of first paragraph. Since you're going to get rid of the girl picture, you don't need to explain it. And the other sentence adds nothing.

Instead, write a paragraph about WHO you are. Not what you do - we can see that that in the next paragraph. But how would you describe your personality, your temperment? And don't just give a list of words - also give some examples. Show us why you'd be an interesting and fun person to hang out with.

Current middle paragraph - pretty good actually. Write the rest of your profile like this and you're off to a good start.

Get rid of the last sentence/paragraph - again, it adds nothing, and shows a lack of confidence. Women like a guy with confidence. Instead, write a few sentences about the kind of woman you'd like to meet.

First date - pretty good. Just get rid of the first paragraph, and keep the second one (in which you actually describe the date).

Here are some great tips for you to read:
