I am looking for some feedback on my profile. I feel it lacks and would like to hear some suggestions. For those of you who take the time to check it out, I thank you in advance. Now let those opinions fly.

Princessfiona,
Good Profile my dear, however as you know that pictures will get responses.
However it was a enjoyable read and you seem like such a fun sweet lady.
All the best to you.

OP: I read your profile and if I were I guy I'd think your pretty hard to please and demanding. I'll give examples of what I mean.

Things like this:

Very much like the user name I chose, I am not in need of being rescued.

I am not into sports or card games or board games,,,, hell I just don't like games.

I don't much care for rudeness. Being mean spirited is a far worse trait, than any other.

I hate to doing the dishes. . I snore.

For the record, I don't think romantic dinners are romantic, nor walks on the beach.

I think life happens while you are waiting for so pay attention.

This is just my womanly opinion of course, but what should sound like confidence and independence on your part, comes off sounding emasculating , demanding and a little snotty, if I'm being honest. There is a fine line between those things. I'm thinking maybe in some men's cases, you've crossed the line. Maybe just a little less harsh wording, without changing who you are would help. Hopefully, some men post here for you and let you know what they think. Good Luck!

I could be miles out on this one but maybe you're giving away a bit much too soon, why should someone get to know you when you've more or less given away everything on one page. I think good profiles should entice people by what they see, perhaps something in common like music or hobbies. Once that's established then you can slowly reveal your hidden depths. Isn't that how a relationship works. I don't know, it's a bloody long time since I've had one.

Besides from the obvious lack of pics, you come across very negative. You spend a lot of words describing what you don't like, what bores you, what you aren't looking for, and what you don't find romantic.

I would suggest a few things

1 Put up at least one picture of yourself as you would possibly look when meeting someone the first time. This should be the pic that people see when you are online. If you wish to show other modes of dress then do so after that. Pictures are critical to getting the attention of the opposite sex. Do not be afraid to do this as the world is a very varied place and there are people who are attracted to all shapes and sizes. And even more critical A picture will get people to viw your profile.

2 Do NOT list what you dont want, instead list the things you do want or need. People react much more readily to positivity. (EG I love hugs and kisses rather than I dislike people who are afraid to touch)

3 With your intrests keep them to a minimum. yours is such a long list I would be unsure which were the things you enjoyed doing most. Do not list titles but catagories. (EG Movies instead of a list of movies)

I have been very lucky on this site, I have met a lady and we are getting married next year, so I guess both my and her profiles worked as we found each other.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH

Thank you very much for the opinions. They were very helpful indeed. I will revise it if what you guys are seeing is what I am portraying. Truth be told I am very easy to get along with and live a happy life. I obviously have a little work to do yet.

Thank you again for your time and your perspective.
