You also have that you are looking for friends. The majority of men on here are looking for a relationship and will not email a women already knowing they are going to immediately be put in the friends zone. If you are really looking for friends and are not interested in dating, then expect to get very few emails. | |

You look a little uncomfortable in your main pic. | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 1:33:32 PM | Agreed, that photo does seem a bit uncomfortable. The one with dolphins looked fairly interesting, maybe you should elaborate on that a bit, say what/where it was. You're a student, perhaps you should say something about your future objectives - maybe I don't speak for all guys but I like it when a girl has a firm ambition to do something with her life as well as a strong personality. Perhaps you could find a way to express this.
Hope that helps?

Posted: 1/24/2008 2:05:24 PM | In my opinion your photos are nice but being a guy I am just to lazy to read your profile cos it has 3 paragraphs......probably says more about us guys but there you go

Posted: 1/24/2008 3:30:49 PM | | As a woman...if my opinion counts, I tend to agree. You appear maybe harsh, with you're hair pulled back. You have very pretty eyes, you should smile and maybe appear less serious. More playful....the fact that you aren't scared to death of swimming with something that can ram into you at torpedo speed should reflect in you're picture. You look too serious. Maybe next time you go out or are having a blast get a friend to snap a picture, show you're fun side. | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 7:07:14 PM | Change your main photo for sure. What gets guy's attention is your main photo. Having pictures up that clearly cut out a guy with you are also warning signs for a guy. Who is he, how long ago was that picture taken???
Don't take this the wrong way but your profile reads like a guy's profile. You talk about your interests but there is no feminine side to it. It's great if guys are looking for a buddy to sit and drink beer while watching the game but doesn't leave them feeling like you are the type to want to cuddle on the couch or have a chick night.
Soften it up a little. Tell a joke or two.... | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 7:25:36 PM | Hello,
You do have good face photos along with the photo in the water. I would put one of your face photos for your main image.
I don't know how many people here are from England either, but that could make a big difference if most are from the U.S.
If it makes you feel better, if you were older ( or if I were younger, lol )and from Minnesota....I would ask you out for lunch.
Good luck and if you have any more questions feel free to ask,

Posted: 1/24/2008 7:52:33 PM | I'v read your profile and think you've done a good job. I woul love to meet someone like you if I you were my age and lived in Canada. That is what I think is your problem. Your ahead of your time and age. Most guys your age are too into themselves and aren't going to go online to find a relationship. They wan't to actually physically see the prize. Men are vissuall beings and looking at a pic on line doesn't do it.
You sound more mature than your age but at your age I think that someone like myself who would be attracted won't contact you because I am too old.
Hang in there but don't give up on social contact. You'll find a winner just be pickey and don't give in to just anybody because you might think its the only way to find or keep a relationship. You are attractive and when you truly belive it others will see it as well.
Good Luck | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 8:16:22 PM | You list a lot of favorite artists, movies, songs and books. But, most likely, no one will read your profile and say "Yes! I also love Bon Jovi and A Child Called It is my favorite book and yes! The Green Mile is also my favorite movie...we have so much in common...we are meant to be!" People know they need more in common with you than a favorite color.
My suggestion is that you maybe talk about why these are your favorites or, better, reveal more about yourself so that we know more about the characteristics and special charm about the person who lists those favorites, what her interests and beliefs, hopes and dreams are, such that they would be favorites. I've read A Child Called It and I know you are a special person because that is a book you really like, but a lot of people won't know that. So, what I'm saying is, write in such a way about yourself so that we could guess these are your favorites, don't just tell us your favorites. | |

ok ive changed the profile pic and made a few adjustments ow what do u think
Wow...it was WORSE than this before?
Let's see:
1) Your pics are blurry
2) You state nothing about what you are looking for in a mate.
3) You might consider expanding your age range (maybe 5+ years)
4) Sit sown and review your entire. You may need to completely change it.
Why's a 19yr old that's going to college looking online for dates? | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 11:16:21 PM | get rid of the two pics with guys in there..
and get one that you're smiling in :-)
the one of you with the dolphins is cool but i wouldn't use it as the main pic because it's kind of difficult to see your face..
and tell a little more about yourself and what you're interested in.
good luck. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 12:50:08 AM | Hi Lauren,
Nothing too much wrong with your profile content but if you are at uni then you have brains and one thing I find annoying when reading a persons profile is bad spellings and grammar, you wouldn't submit a piece of coursework without proofreading would you?
Also and it's been said to you before show a nice smiling photo, let your hair down as it looks severe, slap a bit of lippy on and wear something feminine.
Good luck.
Regards Rich | |

Are you seeking advice...or validation?
Don't ask for criticism if you can't accept the results. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 8:41:57 AM | Hi there pet.
Written description on profile is fine so you will be wasting your time amending that. Photo's, lets get some smiles and natural shots on here, don't be afraid of the camera! Its always good to update photo's as us men always go for the looks first. Do this and you will get results...
All the best and take care. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 6:26:07 PM | Correct the numerous spelling errors and sentence structure problems.
Change all of your photos except the very first one. You are too serious looking and look like a Maddam with a whip. You don't look approachable or appealing in any of the pics.
You don't look happy. | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 7:11:19 PM | Hi,
You've got some content there, but it seems a bit flat - could use a bit of humour. On the same track as Roar, punctuation needs to be fixed - I found it tedious to be stumbling through the sentences.
Keep at it. I'm sure most folks have rewritten their profile at least once.
Good luck | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 4:03:24 AM | Lauren,
Your profile is okay. However, there are many spelling and grammer errors that I think you should clean up. It doesn't make you look as intelligent as you really are. I also recommend a pic with your hair down.
Good Luck,
Tim | |

Posted: 1/26/2008 6:24:53 AM | Hi Lauren,
First of all , don't take the comments here to heart, you asked for help and people are trying to give it. Sometimes it might seem like a personal insult but I'm sure it's not meant in that way.
I come from the uk too and sorry to say this but there are a few spelling mistakes,most are probably just typing errors but they are definitely there. (have a check through, haveing-having, injoy-enjoy, weired-weird , favoiurite should be favourite,and yes in the usa I think they spell it favorite)
The only other thing I would change are your pics, The dolphin ones are great as they show you can have fun but are a little on the blurry side. I'd personally keep these in though , as it shows the fun side of you and that's important. The close ups are much clearer but you don't appear too happy so it might be worth you changing these to some more happier ones, preferably with a big smile.
Hope this helps! good luck and happy fishing xxx
