Need an opinion on my profile.
Posted: 11/15/2007 7:12:18 PM
I haven't been here for more than four days and I have been editting the crap out of my profile too at least find some friendly people. I'm not looking for the "love of my life" I'm just looking for some people to take away the boredom.

All honest opinions, please. Be brutal, I can take it.

Your profile is too long and too negative. No one is likely to read the whole thing. I didn't. I stopped when you said your last boyfriend treated you like shit, and then gave you a second chance and read the line about your standards. I stopped again.

This is likely also what anyone else is doing with it. You come off like a whiny b1tch. I'm not saying you are one, but only that your profile makes you seem that way.

Two or three short paragraphs of no more than two sentences each telling all the good things about you and another two or three short ones describing what you are looking for in a man. And NOT what you are NOT looking for. If you don't like smelly people, say "I love the smell of a man in crisp aftershave". The smelly people will get the hint. If you don't like guys who drink say "I'm looking for someone who can have a good time without alcohol". The booze hounds will understand.

When you begin to get responses, check out their profiles. If they don't do it for you, move on. When you can say "I'm being bombarded with emails from people I can't stand", you can tweak your profile to cull a few out.

Add a few more pictures also.

EDIT: Yes, after looking back over your profile I have egg on my face. I think you understand why. But, maybe that's why you're not having much luck. Good luck with it.

Use proper English when talking to me, and use complete sentences when texting me.


I'm gonna suggest you need to work on your "tone" a bit. Most people won't enjoy being told how they must behave for the privilege of contacting you. They'll just move on to the next profile.

You sound too boring to contact...are you just wanting to talk/email or do stuff with others? Tell others what you like doing , what moves you!

I would definately take another picture where u look more friendly- ie- smiling. Also shorten your text...No one really reads the long ones, they skip over them and move on to hte next person. Remember you don't have to tell everything about yourself right away- leave something to talk about in the emails. Good luck and happy fishing

I too quit reading your profile very quickly.
Since you have so much to say - present it as a numbered list - this may help you shorten your thoughts into concise (shorter) statements.

Good Luck,
Wes

Hey just looked at ya profile and it is kinda long...I would probably maybe shorten it and maybe moreso focus on fun and or positive things...I prob wouldn't elaborate too much on how the other guys previously treated you...Perhaps use that as a guide in the future...ANyway, just my opinion.....I'd actuall appreciate a critique on my profile...if ya didn't mind

I would like to see photos of you smiling, photos in activities and a photo showing your entire body would greatly help. You look bland in your current photo and as if you are trying to hide.

Rewrite your headline to express something about your personality. Your headline could also include something about your interests like:: "Scuba Gal Seeks Diving Pal." Everyone wants someone to take them as they are.

Remove the negative content about conflicts and the way people treat you because my first impression was: no one liked conflict, but if you can't resolve it constructively instead of appeasing people, then naturally people will treat you like a doormat. You're basically saying that you have a really big hang-up that you need to work on.

Emphasize the positive and also tell us what you have to offer a man. A relationship is about two people with something to offer each other.

I hope you take this criticism in the light as it was given - constructively.
