| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/11/2008 9:52:04 PM | Adjectives like "sexy" and "great-looking" are really better left unsaid. Feign some modesty and let the reader decide for herself if she thinks those things about you. (Same thing goes for calling yours a "great profile.")
Your squinty-eyed, "Dude, I'm, like, totally baked!" pics aren't doing a lot to further the whole "great-looking" and "sexy" thing. Get someone else to take some clearer pics of you in better light. it's never good to be looking DOWN at the camera.
Oh yeah, and try not to be totally baked when you do it.
Check out the Profile Writing Tips thread at the top of this page for some great ideas of how to improve your profile. Here's the link:

Tip: Don't use ellipses (...) when you really need a period.
Edit: Re: VVVVVVVVV So drunk you have a blackout is no better than being baked. IMO. | |

I'm not into any drugs.. woke up with stuff i won in a social all in my place with no memory of winning it..my good friends wedding..I'm in need of another picture yes...thx.. | |

| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/11/2008 11:05:05 PM | BAHAHAHAHAH
This is hilarious.
I don't really know why, either.
"try not to be totally baked when you do it"
Thats a great start btw! Thx for the advice!  | |

| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/12/2008 11:00:46 AM | | well apart from the pic..i see people are very quick to jump the gun with their assumptions...I dont see how everything comes across as fantasy to u...Others i have meet through this site.. and regularly talk to think .. things are fine.. and ur the one who needs a check.. | |

| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/12/2008 11:09:03 AM | | Good looking? ANY guy who EVER says this about himself, I would just not bother with. It just says so much about your personality. Also, you only like to do certain things when you are in the mood...this reads badly. And what does the sentence starting out with "My fish, " mean? All in all, I would say this profile is mediocre, and doesn't show you in the best light possible. I would think about revision. | |

No, you need a check, you know why? Because you asked for one. Read above, there's you asking. . .
I'm not satisfied with the amount of emails i seem to get.. i get emails and continue some conversations.. but only seem to get email resonses from messages i have sent out...any advice....would be great...I'm all ears....! and the check you're getting.

| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/12/2008 11:18:55 AM | Christ are there some real fcuking winners representing Winnipeg these days on this site! Two in as many days. To what honour do we owe?
I have got to ask, OP: what could you have possibly thought when you decided to use those two pictures as your first impression to the world?! Surely this isn’t how you look all the time.
Your profile wreaks of arrogance. Your profile is Jamie. Seriously?! You thought that’d be a better solution to this problem than student would? It’s not funny, nor is it going to attract people. Your interests are fickle, and the kind you’d expect to see on a 16-18 year old’s profile. You mentioned art galleries and museums in your first date, and you are studying politics and the classics in university; surely you must have some more interests than those listed!
As mentioned, you should never say you are good looking, or say anything along the lines of I’m great at this, that, have a great xxxx, etc. Modesty goes much further than narcissism. The same goes for the whole discussion about your cabin. You have one, that’s great! Sneak it into a conversation a few emails or phone calls down the road. You might as well have told us what kind of car you drive also.
The only place I saw a glimmer of hope here was with your first date section, but you need to lose the build-up, or lack thereof. Don’t say “depends on the person”. This is a given! Just mention a number of activities you’d be interested in doing on a first date, and maybe string together a hypothetical evening for the woman to envision.
Do yourself a favour and go read the Review Tips, and then go through this and other threads for advice. Maybe check out a few of the profiles in these threads that have been fixed, as well as perhaps the reviewer’s profiles. It could do you a world of good. | |

| great profile for lookover Posted: 5/13/2008 12:17:28 PM | | No, it got more issues. It's just that those pictures are like Medusa's. People look at them and become too petrified to go onto the rest of profile. | |
