Hi tx, there is not really enough there for me to spend my time on. I would suggest starting over. Go to the first page of "profile reviews" there is a "plofile tips" there. Create a new profile based on what you read there. Then come back,and we will help you tweek it into the real thing.

Best wishes

Like the kind gentleman said, read the profile writing tips thread.

Start over, and when you have an updated one, post back TO THIS THREAD.

Not being harsh, you are making a lot of very common mistakes. Too many to address in one post. Relax, most don't write a winner first time through. Take your time and give it your full attention.

Then let us take a peek at what you came up with.

Nursinggrl: it's old-time, classified personal ad speak for "drug and disease" free.

OP: Nobody mentioned this yet, so I will. Change your screenname. Texas and tantric? Eww. Let her know of your tantric abilities when you're thinking of becoming intimate.

You're a teacher, right? So you know that the pronoun "I" is *always* capitalized, correct?

I'm with the others. Put on the pointed hat and stay after to school to read the Profile Writing Tips thread. Then try again. Here's the link:

Not necessarily. He could teach shop, or yoga, or any of a number of things not related to language.

But back on topic... I'm with everyone above me on this one. Many of the things you have done wrong have been covered in great depth and wit elsewhere (specifically in the pinned threads at the top of this forum) so there's no point reiterating them here. Go read those, digest them, put them to use, then come and ask for help. Many people will do so, I promise.

Just taking a stab (guess) and only know this from being here...drug and disease (STD...I'm guessing) free. Yeah something that could be expanded on....best NOT, though.

You list your profession as Teacher, but there is nothing in your profile about what
that is you may be teaching. I could only guess that it may be teacher of
high school text messaging.
I wanted to be clear on what your heading means so I searched it on the web.
nymph
n 1: (classical mythology) a minor nature goddess usually
depicted as a beautiful maiden; "the ancient Greeks
believed that nymphs inhabited forests and bodies of
water"
2: a larva of an insect with incomplete metamorphosis (as the
dragonfly or mayfly)
3: a voluptuously beautiful young woman [syn: houri]

I'm guessing it's number three, no?

You're a mystic seeking a nymph? Wow that's a lot to ask for, and by the way...
being a mystic is a huge a thing enough to expand on. Tell us all about the things
you mystisise about in detail. It's not everyday you find a real live mystic!

Why is it important for a casual date to know you don't have any venereal diseases?
Would that be especially IMPORTANT to know this before going on the first date?
Or maybe you think dating is another word for sex before dinner?

Lose the high school text and use a spell checker.
Your pics are blurry and the overall feel of it is just a tad pervy in my opinion.

if this interests u leave me a MSG

Hi J, I have returned just as promised. You still have some work to do here.

1. am a 34 yr old college grad--
i am single-
i don't have any kids-
i am 5/10 --
i weigh 190 -
i go to the gym 4 days a week--
i am working on getting back to my high school weight - slowly but surely -
i am dd free --
i don't smoke or do drugs -
i am employed --

Items 1-4 and 8- 10 should be removed. I would sugggest that if you want to keep the others, work it into you text somewhere. Rather than the list format.

2. "what i am looking for is an a intelligent emotionally stable lady who is looking for a normal guy who is emotionally literate and completely normal most other times" This just does not flow nicely at all. Why should your lady be "emotionally stable" but you are "emotionally literate"? Is there a significance there I am not seeing? I would either clarify or remove. My gut tells me remove it, but that of course is up to you.

3. "the lady i am looking for is literate, she is intelligent, " I am not saying this to offend, only to try to help. Is it not a little odd to want a literate woman,when you have commas where there should be periods.? Ladies notice these things my man!

4. The remaning part is NOT conducive to reading at all. Try to bring your thoughts together in some sort of order using complete sentences.

5. Remember to use to descriptive UNIQUE words to describe both you and the lady you seek. Honest,sincere,happy,caring, etc. are no good. Adventurous,introvert,extrovert,oldfshioned, timid,agressive,etc. are examples of acceptable words to use for this.

6. "if this interests u leave me a MSG" Delete this line.


Best wishes
