Hey I'm just wondering how my profile stacks up. If it's lame let me know or even if it's not let me know. Any type of polite criticism would be great. The more opinions the better. Thank you in advance for posting.

OK it's not a lady advice here but still, there are some basic things that seems obvious to me.

I think the text of your profile is good, but I'll let the ladies comment on it. However, you have to work to find better pics. Your main pic is way too dark, altough we see your body, which is good. The second one, we see reflection in your glasses so we can't see your eyes. And the third one, which is the only "OK" one, we still don't see the real colour of your skin (take me to your leader!) and you don't smile at all.

So get a good smiling pic in the sun or something like that, maybe a full body shot also where we see you in one of your favorite activity, and it will be a big plus. I think this is where your profile is lacking the most : pics.

Hope it helps.

Gotta agree with Manatenish about the pics. Take some pictures outside. The background is this sterile white room with no character, and only light seems to be the glow of your computer, kinda creepy. As far as the text goes, it shows no real personality. Have some edge and opinions. You're just curious about life and whatever comes your way, you're shy, not much bothers you, you might possibly persue something, and you are open to someone else making the plans for the first date. To sum up, you have no opinion or backbone. Not trying to be mean, just honest. Women like strength and confidence. Humor never hurts either. Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

Hey! From a lady pow. I agree with above posters, you really need better pics. If you are stuck with the ones you have now, use the 3rd one only, its the most flattering. Pictures at night in a computer room makes you look like someone not very active. As for the text, a bit more humour would do but I guess if you are shy as you seem to be, then its not so bad, some women like this type :)

Thanks for all the replies didn't realize I sounded unconfident. I'll change some things around.

Hi Lance,
What you've written is fine. Your pictures however, really need to change. I would delete all of these ones. To be honest, they're VERY creepy. I know you can do better than this. I can tell you're just a diamond in the rough! Do you have a female friend who can help you out in this department? ie.: Have her help you style your hair a little; get out and do a fun photoshoot in the sunlight, maybe in a local park? Put on a big smile and exchange the glasses for a cool pair of shades (or let us see your eyes, or at least have a photo taken when the light doesn't bounce off your lenses). Good luck with this. I know you can do it!
