Friends/coworkers/etc finding out you use a dating site. Posted: 12/19/2008 9:37:59 PM
I don't see why it would be a problem for my co-workers to know. I'm not embarrassed by myself, it's just dating :P I only work with a few people, and one of them was inspired to try it out herself. She is meeting her first person tonight! Another told me today that he wished they had something this easy around before he met his wife!

Wealth Envy. Do you suffer from it? Posted: 12/19/2008 9:26:07 PM
I've never been envious of the wealth itself. I don't see what difference a expensive car makes over a cheap one...they both get you from point A to point B, and the destination should be the exciting part. Sometimes when I'm waiting for the bus late at night in the freezing cold I wish that I could jump in a cab. So in that case I'm envious of the warm, not the wealthy :P I'm sure the wealthy are envious of my leisure time while they are working 60 hours a week!

Is the average citizen also responsible for the current financial mess ? Posted: 12/19/2008 9:15:56 PM
I think our culture is responsible. So yes, it is "our" fault, "our" being a collective of millions. The North American culture is only a few hundred years old and it is making mistakes unfortunately for lack of experience.

Wondering whats scarring you off Posted: 11/4/2008 4:13:47 AM
When you are losing your hair the best thing to do is buzz it really short. Do NOT try to hide it with a combover. That screams lowconfidence. If you don't try to hide it, that shows that you are comfortable and happy with the way you are and you expect others to be too.

Soliciting tips, opinions, suggestions and wise-ass comments Posted: 11/3/2008 3:05:23 PM
I really like your pics. It's a good variety and I totally get a sense of who you are. I'm surprised the above posters are so critacal because I think you've represented yourself better than the majority of other profiles I've seen on this site. I agree with maybe adding in something about what you are looking for in a partner. Other than that, good job!

Help...how bad is my profile Posted: 11/3/2008 2:53:54 PM
If you can't post a picture, you will likely have to message users first and attach a hidden picture to it. If you can't do that then online dating isn't the best way to go.

I would stongly recommend a different haircut. You have an attractive face and a better cut would really really help.

Profile review please... Posted: 11/3/2008 2:39:22 PM
Ahh ok, that makes sense (the weight loss thing). Good work btw! One more thing I forgor to add...I'm not too keen on the 4th pic. Looks like your shirt is ripping off or something.

Just saw you added a smiling picture. Cudos, it's great, totally lights up your profile. I don't know what you were afraid of. When I see someone leave out a smile I unfortuantely assume they are trying to hide their teeth (which is less attractive than simply being upfront and showing their less than perfect teeth) but your teeth look just fine :)

I like your list of interests, and your write-up is unique. I don't get the first quote...I think you are already showing enough humour in your description, but if you insist on putting more in, go a more universal route and maybe put it at the end of the write-up. A picture that shows your smile is important. Keep working on it! I like that your pictures are very clear and in focus. Thats a big bonus! I'm not sure I understand the few extra pounds part because your full body pic makes you look to have an average build. Is the picture is out of date? Perhaps by "a few extra pounds" you really mean just "3 extra pounds"? Maybe put up a second full body pic so we get a better idea of what you mean by "a few extra pounds" since that can mean a lot of things. Good luck on POF and keep on with real world dating as well :)

Image Problems Posted: 1/17/2006 12:55:40 AM
I am having this problem too...I know my pictures falls within the guidelines because I had it up only minutes ago. I took it down to make room for more and now it won't let me put my original picture up? Why error?? This is lame.
