Jards...

I like your sense of humor, really comes across your profile, but i still dont know anything about you and thats what this is all about. So who are you, What are you interested in? Hobbies? What do you do in your spare time? You seem to be a great guy but your profile doesn't really explain you. if you change it i think it will be great... keep the humor too.

Lilww.

I like the pics, would be nice to have one of you looking at the cam, otherwise they are infocus and bright. Instead of writing the disclaimer at the end of your profile you can have a full body shot, dress up nice and show what you got... (not nude) hehe.

I think you should have more about who you are as a person, yes your a mother, i am too but guys are interested in knowing you first and telling them about yourself first is going to get you ahead. As a suggestion, talk about yourself in the opening of your profile, who you are, what you like to do and such then move on to what you want to say about your children.


I am most comfy in a t shirt and jeans..
move this to your section about you not what your looking for. Also your fav movies and such needs a bit of editing, as you dont say anything about movies you just start with

some of my fav's French kiss
and unless someone is really reading it does get confusing.

Also downgrade the amount of mail settings, some men put down friends or hang out but are really after more but dont want to seem only after one thing, you never know if there is a guy out there dieing to contact you but he cant get past your filters

i hope this helps.

Jondoe.

Well i know you say that you would rather not post a pic, what they say is true that a profile with a picture does get 10 times more looked at and msgs. so up to you on that one. Nothing to be ashamed of being on a interenet dating site.... millions of us here.

You dont talk much about you. I know its hard to talk about yourself, but just talk about the four main things...
Who are you?
What your interested in?
What you like to do?
What your looking for?
These things are what someone wants to know when looking at a profile. Think about when you look at someones profile, what do you look for? What do you want to read?

Please remove
who doesn't play head games
i know this is prob coz you have had this but it just comes off negative and a turn off.

Also gals love to read about how a guy would treat them on a first date... i always read them and sometimes a basis on if i msg or not, doesn't have to be all out there but something sweet is nice.

Skeptical.

Well i think you have done an ok job. A few things could be changed in my oppinion.

Firstly can you change your profile pic to the black and white one, its clear and we can see you.


as I am not sure that something as impersonal as a computer can be the conduit for a meaningful relationships.

this isn't needed, it was a great paragraph before this part which turned it negative.


no need to have a friend call your cell with an emergency...just be honest....is there such a thing anymore?
Also sounds negative, i dont think that it is needed, you can always tell a lady that later when planning to meet maybe in guise of a joke.

Otherwise i think you have done quite a good job. You haven't been here for long and sometimes it takes time but dont give up...

Hope this is of some help

Please Carlykitten, review my profile and tell me what I'm missing...I know I'm not glamourous in my pictures, so that might be hurting my chances. But, thing is - I was on PlentyofFish in the past and did get some responses, now nothing - not sure what I am missing.

Thanks in advance

Silenttopher.

I like how you describe yourself, a good job there.

What i would suggest is talking about some of the stuff that interests you, maybe you could talk a little on you job as i have no idea what that intailes and you may spark and interest with someone.

Also write a short piece on what you are looking for, so that some know they need not apply. Dont write a whole list of demands nor be too exact but let us know what you are after.

i hope this is of some help.

Taurus.

Well its prob coz im from Aust. but what is chill-axing? im unsure about that.

Please take out
Message me if you would like to know more...
this is done so many times, relax there will be msgs for more info if your profile is interesting and makes us want to know you.


I am just looking to meet someone who knows what she wants with life, and can share it with someone else.
leave this until later, move your interests up.

When looking at a profile, i like to be able to see who this person is, what interests them (are mine the same?) what they like to do then what are they looking for and am i that person.

So leave first 2 paragraph where they are change first one a tad. Move up your interests and then have the one about your chilren.

Add what you are looking for after
I am just looking to meet someone who knows what she wants with life, and can share it with someone else.
then add more about that person. Not too much detail but what you are after.

Take out
**I have grown slightly confused as to why I am bothering with these sites, seems that I am always talking to myself**
just negtive and negitive does not make a profile stand out.

Hope this is of some help
Carly
So if you change parts of your profile it should read better.

If you have another picture of just you, it would be nice to see as your main image.

It seems you write too much in your profile, not leaving much for a man to ask questions on, if you describe everything whats the point of msging and asking to get to know more.


Alright, so far, I've probably bored you to tears - if I did I don't blame you.
Dont put yourself down, this is your add about you, negativity never sells.

Start your profile with something about you, describing yourself and interests, you do this but a bit too long. Then talk about who you are looking for on this site.
I hope this is of some help

Firstly do you have a pic of just you? coz that would be better as a main picture.

I play by my rules, and don't seek anyone else's approval--I know who I am.
This doesn't say what you are meaning to say i dont think. You could try and say I have discovered myself and i know who i am. It just sound harsh at the moment.


Seek a good woman for good times
this sound like you are after sex and thats it. if thats so change your thing to say so at the moment its saying long term.

You dont say anything about yourself, you can you know who you are but dont back it up. We want to know who you are, how can we be interested if we cant know something about you.

i hope this is of some help
