I've just read my own profile. It's bloody scary!! Makes me look like a nutter.

You don't sound like a fruitcake. You ARE a fruitcake.

Yeah, all kinds of things that would be a turn-off in normal profiles. Negativity, drugs, weird photos, swearing. In that one... I dunno. I think the profile works perfectly in showing who you are. You wouldn't want a "clean" profile - it would be completely wrong for your feisty in-your-face attitude and spirit. You are not everyone's cup of hemlock, but to those who are your type, they would not want you any other way.

If I would offer any suggestions, I would go with separating interests with commas, to make them searchable.

I suppose for the chap you are looking to meet it’s okay. You are way to negative in your profile but something tells me it’s not just in your profile. You are a loose cannon, and as such you dictate what you attract.

As far as criticism goes I’m not going to tell you to quit swearing or being so negative because something also tells me you wouldn’t tone it down for someone either. You may need to be really patient here.

You listed A Few Extra Pounds so you need to show a bit of a body shot, so we know what you mean by that.

The headline gives a good prelude to the profile. I’d consider switching it to something more upbeat or fun and not so dark and painful.

You mention next to nothing about what kind of man you want, nor about who you are as a person. You also smoke, drink, and do drugs but you want children. At 24 maybe it’s time to start considering your options.

And after reading all that you go and post a dorky emoticon waving at us in this thread! I want to pluck the stubble off my *insert body part of choice here* with pliers! AGHHH

Be prepared for the ride of your life when it comes to online dating. All the best to you!

I don't even know why I'm saying this but I think the profile works. The fellas above mentioned some things you could tweak, so I really don't have anything to add.

Let's go offtopic for a moment, shallwe? I love the tattoo. I've drawn a few of those "ambigrams" but never actually tackled the saggitarius one. Is there a link to the original graphic? My contact parameters are wide open so if you send me the link, I'd be forever in your debt. Or for at least the next few minutes after that.

Wow! Many people on your favourites, sound like many men have seen it their mission to try and tame you :)

I would love to cover you in honey and watch as flies get stuck to you and laugh my socks off when you try and pull them out.

Oh!! Sorry, i just re-read your profile and see you are not interested in dirty fetish sex chat.

Bugger!! - (walks back out the thread in shame)....

Might as well be honest about who you are... there won't be any guessing games with you.

Good luck

I'm with the others -- never have so many wrong things combined to make something so right. It is a genuine profile mystery.

(Of course, the fact that you're young and pretty doesn't hurt.)

All this time, I thought *I* was the only one who thought "cows are cool as fcuk'!

115 Pof members who put you on their faves' lists can't be wrong.

If it is who you are,by all means do not change it. You do need to describe what type of man turns your crank though.

Best wishes

It's a great profile....you could be my baby girl. I loved it myself....it's definitely not the generic...blah blah. You have a unique way of expressing yourself, don't ever change!

You don't sound like a fruitcake. You ARE a fruitcake.


You say that like it's a BAD thing. Oh...the fruitcakes...gag...nasty...what IS that stuff...not CAKE...and fruit that well IMO was never even fruit to begin with.

Nutty and sweet...that's what a true fruitcake should be and with CAKE!!

"nice work :) " An oldie but goodie...like me..well the oldie part...it's my "classic" I have more...back to our regular program.

It's a delightful profile....I had FUN reading it, I'd give up my best cow (I think cows are awesome too) and bet she had fun writing it.

I look at it this way, ( if I was called a fruitcake, nutty comes from being a Buckeye, only got the 2 ya know! Fruit comes from the fact I love those G.A Peaches! Put um together & what do ya got? Betty Crocker with a S-m-i-l-e.

I'm at University training to be a Mental Health Nurse

Fascinating.

Not really that odd overall. You are doing yourself something of an injustice with your deliberate abuse of the Queens English, but that could sort of tie in with the whole Scottish thing. I may be drawing a long bow there. Oh... the puns keep coming! Someone hold me back.

Obviously working for you, it seriously could do with just a slightly less informal use of language, a few 'g's on the end of words would not hurt.

1. I don't understand why you say your name is Lydsay, not Mary. Are people calling you Mary or something?
2. Not sure guys care about your love for cows and odd numbers?
3. How about you write what you're looking for in a guy and what you hope to get out of joining this website.
4. Breaking the law on the first date can't be a bad idea and going to the pub for nice meal and seeing where it goes from there isn't a bad idea.

Overall, I'd add more about who you are and what you're like and also what you're looking for in a guy!

WOW! I'm really surprised at the number of replies! Thank you to everyone who criticised and congratulated. Ok...

1 - Due to my user name XQueenofScotsX, several people were messaging me and calling me Mary, ie Mary Queen Of Scots. It is highly annoying, and being a member of this here dating site for a LONG time (long story), I have been called Mary more times than I wish to remember.

2 - I haven't described 'the man of my dreams' or anything similar. Reason for that? I don't have a 'type' of man. I am open minded and don't categorize my likes and dislikes when it comes to the opposite sex. Maybe I should have written that in my profile but I like people to be themselves when I speak to them, not pretend they are someone they are not, using my likes and dislikes as reference.

3 - Queen's English? I don't speak the Queen's English very well in person, and yes it must be due to the fact that I am Scottish lol I have a broad Ayrshire accent and I type the way I speak.
