Posted: 5/10/2008 12:14:19 AM | Hi Darren,
Your only pic does not indicate whatsoever what you look like. I can't see your face or your body well enough to discern whether you are attractive.
You haven't used proper punctuation (capitalize the word I) in either your profile or your posts.
You indicate that you drink frequently. While I have to respect honesty, that is probably not what most women are looking for in an S/O.
You are not at all interested in women your own age.
Post better pictures - more than one.
Edit / grammar / spellcheck your entries.
You may also want to indicate whether you do long haul or local trucking.
Good luck. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 4:26:35 AM | Pretty much rehashing the above in my special confrontational style.
Your picture is terrible. It should not be in any of the eight, let alone the sole picture. The headline is one of worst examples of the Queens English to grace my eyes today, aside from being inane at best. There is no apostrophe in want. Please, make it stop good sir, make it stop :-(
Alcohol... probably a turn off to some, but it is good to be honest about that. Problem is everyones definition of drinking is different. I consume alcohol +3 times a week- but drink less in a week than most of my dates have in a single night. If you do not get drunk +3 times a week, it is arguable that you can amend that to 'socially'. If you do get drunk, liver issues aside, then what you have is certainly correct.
Insert commas between your interests so they parse correctly.
There is no content at all in profile. Delete text and start again. Paragraph introducing yourself, paragraph about what you do, what you like, what your goals in life are, paragraph about what you are looking for. Use correct English. Use proper punctuation. Mr Capital is your friend.
Fill out the first date section with a realistic first date.
Your target demographic is ridiculous. If you were rich, had a large penis and/or lived in a real nice houe, maybe it would work. Normal people should aim for their own demographic though, unless you are after an overweight single mother with a drug habit, or someone equally desperate. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 11:02:24 AM | i am just looking for an attractive younger woman to get to know
So are a lot of men your age, you may have to do like many do....pony up and pay for it.

Totally agree with crazytimes, heck his whole post.....ditto. 
Your username.....makes me feel creepyallover. Find one that doesn't have a creep factor..... | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 11:38:19 AM | You have the word "I" 9 times in your about me section.
You seem to be on non-speaking terms with your "shift" key. Was there some argument you have told us about between the two of you? If not, start using it. Makes things much easier to read.
Mix it up. Have some fun with the profile, remove interests from the about me section and put them in "Interests"....
Get some more pics up... Very few people can pull it off without good pics... It appears you are not one of the very few....
Change your screenname, between that and looking for "Younger Girls" you are coming across as a pedophile. Not really a good thing on a dating site. Especially at 40. | |

i have been on here fo quite a while now and i am not getting the kind of responses i am looking for. or should i say no response. is it the way i write things? i think i look okay. i just can't seem to find any other ways to meet people.
I agree with above reviews but just wanted to add my own 2 cents as well. (Headline: want, what were you thinking? no apostrophe as mentioned previously)
Changing your user name would get rid of some of the 'ick' factor. It sounds 'wacked' and most women with half a brain would run right on by you.
The pictures have been mentioned as well. Most people have a digital camera, or at the very least access to one. Delete and re~do.
Interests need to be put in like this: traveling, hiking, cycling... etc. This also has been mentioned, fix that.
The about me section needs to be completely deleted and redone. Put some effort into this profile and you would not be asking the silly questions you opened this thread with. Use spell check if you can't figure out proper spelling and or grammar. 'I' is capitalised always.
Fill out the first date section, if you can't come up with any ideas, find a friend that goes on real dates and get an idea from them.
Age range: 24~35. You are 40 years old... say that slowly... accept it and wake the h3ll up. Be realistic on age, as stated above... it doesn't look good on you. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 1:41:31 PM | Hard drinking 40 yr. old trucker seeks 24 year old ladies? Uh for what exactly?
To go on over the road hauls with a case of Bud in tow?
First do this:
...Change your demograpic to 30-50 year olds.
...Get some exercise and lose the beer gut if you can.
...Take some good pics, and try to smile in them.
Reality is your friend if you work with it. It seems like a lot of guys must
have left myspace in search of the young girls hoping to get luckier here.
Thank you for at least not including *HelloKitty*in your interest list to entice
the younguns like some other 40 something did recently. ::shudders:: | |

I agree. "SmoothAllOver"......Oh, EWWWW. It's just...so...wrong.
And I agree with what everyone else said. Heh, what a copout. You guys do all the work, and I'll just agree with you.
Edit: Dude, I noticed you said in one of your posts that you've been on this site for almost four years? FOUR YEARS? And you're just now getting around to wondering if there's something wrong with your profile?
Mmm-mmm. Yes, indeed. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 5:12:27 PM | hee hee... omg.. bucsgirl & crazytimes.. I am just peeing my pants laughing.. I cant help it.. Most excellent replies.. freakin kudos..
smoothallover40? Dude.. you're on the wrong site.. this site might have a wide variety of people.. looking for a wide variety of stuff.. however.. look around.. most are looking for LTR.. not looking for jail bait. With a screen name like smoothallover40, you need to be on sex search.
I see posters on the wall at the Post Office coming to a city near you.. your profile looks as if you're a party animal.. Unless I'm mistaken, and you really want a white picket fence, Mr. & Mrs. Jones relationship.. ah huh, well.. with someone closer to your age group. You wont get any replies.. of course not! What do you think the average 20-30 year old female is doing on a saturday night? Not hanging out with her hot friends looking at profiles on websites.. Where you doing this 10-20 years ago? | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 5:16:27 PM | | Sometimes on Saturday nights I get together with my hot friends to poke fun at some of the weirder profiles....Thank goodness there is good fodder, or some Saturdays would not be as entertaining for us. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 5:25:06 PM | My 23 y/o daughter was telling me about an older guy that creeped her out and was asking for her number. Older guy was 37...... I giggled, she said oh mom not "older" like you....whatever that means.
Both of my 20 something baby girls have been on dating sites and we joke about all the old guys that hit on them and all the young guys that hit on me.
I can tell ya something though, OP the 20 somethings would just think you're another creepy old guy and wouldn't give you the time of day.
"bucsgirl & crazytimes.. I am just peeing my pants laughing" Once you change your pants, drop me a line will ya? I can't write you and I live in your neck of the woods. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 7:23:45 PM | In your profile you say that you are looking for an intelligent woman. Your writing style...no caps, improper punctuation, etc. does nothing to impress an intelligent woman! Your writing style is very immature....
I agree with the posters above who question the fact that a 40 year-old man is seeking a woman as young as 24. What is up with that? What common interests do you possibly think you would have with a 24 year-old woman/girl?
What sort of activities do you enjoy on your days off? What do you have to offer a woman that would make you stand out from the thousands+ other men who are advertising on POF? | |
