hit me up with it :)

Generally speaking, women do not like lists. Our brains are wired differently. We much prefer paragraph form.
You have left out two crucial paragraphs. One telling us about your personality. We have no idea if you are someone whose company we would enjoy being around. Also, you need to tell us the qualities you are seeking in a partner. What attributes do you find attractive?
Why not give some specifics? Name a few of your favorite bands, as they may be ours too, what out door activities do you enjoy? Which sports? Do you play or only watch?
I recommend a revise and come back.
According to PoF's guidelines:
1 - Hobbies, they're the same as my interests :) and watching my alma mater in sports
2 - Goals and aspirations, without getting into details, I'd say get established in my career industry wise, I'm pretty much settled in my career at my company. (This might make more sense when you find out more)
3 - Myself and what makes me unique, I'm me :) there is no other me so I'm unique right? :) You'll hear more about me below
4 - My tastes in music... I can listen to almost anything. If I had a choice on what I had to listen to, classical music and 80s, classical and alternative rock (I think that's what I like). Of course there are the occasional song or two you'd like from a music genre you usually don't listen to :)
Ok now my stuff :) Not sure what to put so here goes...
I'm a family oriented person, most of flying trips involve trips to spend time with my cousins :)
I like pretty much anything that's interactive. Any outdoor activities or sports.
I'm pretty happy with just hanging out and not having to do anything in particular :)
I can plan something down to the tiniest detail and at the same time I'm just as comfortable with winging it and making an adventure out of it :)
bowling, pool/billiards, golf driving range, cycling are activities I enjoy and have done recently... But anything outdoors is fun :) uhh once I don't run into alligators :)
Hmm so I'm not sure if I did a good job there... Take a chance, chat with me, you'll learn more about me from chatting with me than from my attempt of what I just wrote :) If you just don't feel the vibe, no hard feelings :)

You are missing a lot of crucial information. Also, you have mentioned generalities and not specifics. You need to tell us a few of your favorite bands, as they may be ours too. Do you water or snow ski? What does going out entail for you? Clubbing, wine tasting or something else altogether? Give us things to relate to.
A successful profile begins with telling us about your personality. Why would we be interested in meeting you? Then tell us about your hobbies, interests, goals etc, and also you need to write a paragraph describing the qualities you are seeking - be specific.
I recommend a revise and come back.
(Remove the comment about going to the movies in your first date section. We are more interested in what you ARE interested in as opposed to what you are not.)

My Profile
Posted:
10/21/2009 8:56:06 PM
. I am looking for my first bi experience with no strings attached or maybe a third party to me and my boyfriend
This needs to be in your profile as it is very important information. As it reads now we don't know what you are seeking. Also, perhaps you should state age and location range. What type of women are you attracted to? Very feminine? Sporty/Athletic? Would you consider another couple? If she came in as a third party would your boyfriend be involved as well (participating)? This is information your reader would love to know before deciding on whether or not to contact you.
Good luck in your search.
Hello, I am a current full time student working on my Bachelors degree in science. I work full time in a hospital. I have one child and I am in a comitted relationship. I am looking for friends to chat with being that I dont really know to many people do to my schedule. Although I am bi-curious. I am very shy and not the type to make a first move. I dont like to play games and life is too short to waste time. Otherwise I am a fun loving down to earth person. So if your interested let me know.

Hi,
I think your profile is fine. The only recomendation I have is removing the 'must be within 75 miles restriction,' as someone whom you are compatible with may live 76 miles away and unable to contact you. (Plus, I am not sure how they base the radius as I have heard it is inaccurate)
Are you contacting those who interest you, or are you waiting to be contacted?
Make sure POF is only one avenue you are using to make new friends.
Good luck in your search.

Your second picture is much better suited for a profile picture. The one you have now we are unable to tell how handsome you are.
You have already been given great advice, so I am going to second what SeekAdventure has said.
I'm a Pastafarain and we believe women should be the ones to make the first move, so please feel free to do so! (I'm really not kidding its in the Gospel)
Interesting .. I have read the gospel of Pastafararin, and I do not recall this passage.
Book of Fusilli, perhaps? *wink*
Good luck in your search.

Should I list my interests???
Posted:
10/11/2009 2:22:14 AM
Rod you are all over the place in your profile. One needs a GPS system to find your wants.
Your headline says you are available, you are seeking someone to date, yet in your written profile the very first sentence contradicts those impressions.
We can tell you are a handsome guy, but you need more pictures.
You may have many interests, and they may even be diverse, but chances are you are NOT interested in everything. You should list between 10-15 of things you enjoy the most.
About Me
I recently moved out to the Picayune area of MS and may be up for a date sooner or later. I'm not taking things fast and am just looking to make a friend unless sparks fly. I can still take care of business if the moment springs on us, but I'm not rushing things and really just want to enjoy the sunset and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I've got alot going on and whenever I have some down-time, I'd like to spend it with someone safe and comfortable to be around. Can you relate?
Why are you saying "I can still take care of business if the moment springs on us" ... come on, geez ... I recommend deleting this whole paragraph - and FAST!
It's easier for me to say what kind of woman I'm not looking for, since so many of you are so wonderful and there are so many different kinds of 'attractive'.
Even though this is a great way of putting it, it isn't going to work. Do you realize most are not seeking the same exact qualities? I have yet come across an ad that states they are seeking a drug addicted, schizophrenic, child abuser. Honestly!
We are more interested in the qualities you are seeking.
-Fat or annorexic.
Come on - this is in bad taste all the way around. Just state you are seeking someone height/weight proportionate, or athletic ..
These ladies I've described are people too, and deserve happiness, but I just can't give it to them.
Delete - delete- delete-
I love beauty and making everything wonderful.
This made me laugh, especially following the statement about your inability to give happiness to some ... I recommend deleting.
A successful profile begins with telling us about you as a person. Your profile is about advertising yourself as well as what you are seeking. We want to make sure you are someone we would be interested in befriending before anything else.
Then we want to know a bit about your interests, and then a paragraph as to what you are seeking. The attributes you are searching for as well as what you are hoping to find. (A friend, partner, athletic workout buddy, etc)
I recommend revising and coming back.

Profile Review, can anyone check mine out tell me what you think?
Posted:
10/11/2009 1:55:57 AM
Hi Bigcat ..
First of all, what does your headline mean?
You: “Where are all the good guys? Why cant I ever find them.” “Why to I attract all the a holes…”
** You sound a bit whiny here .. why not leave this out and just begin with "You've found one of the good guys."
Its up to you to change your destiny with those “ a holes”.
This needs to be deleted all together.
Currently I am looking forward to going back to school and finishing what I started 7 years ago( 2 associates degrees). Probably end up continuing with it and getting my bachelors or masters in something. I just haven’t decided what it will be yet, maybe basket weaving? I love to help people and be outside with people. My comfort level in dangerous situations is why I do what I do for a living. So maybe Ill find something along those lines
** This is all fine and good, but tells us nothing about who you are as a person.
For some reason the more busy I get the more comfortable I am. It seems like it consumes the things that bother me in life.
** It is good you recognize this in yourself, but be aware it may be difficult finding someone who understands. You are obviously most compatible with someone the same, but it will probably limit your dating pool.
I would love love love to meet a woman who has direction in her life and knows what she wants from a man. You have to be able to make decisions on your own and not rely on everyone else to make them for you. When stuff in your life gets tough get some balls (figuratively speaking)and do what you gotta do to do what you wanna do! You should know what you want in your life and be ready to get it done.
** You may want to consider rewording this. My overall impression is that you are hard to deal with. You seem controlling, and for me that would be a red flag.
Good luck in your search. :)

I am not sure what purpose this statement serves -" I have huge boobs (not bragging, it’s just the first thing most people notice—unfortunately. I am typically known as the girl with big boobs, people RARELY remember my name the first time around)."
Also, you need to state the qualities you are seeking in a partner/friend/date. This is a very important paragraph.
Good luck in your search.

Chris,
I recommend having a friend take a regular smiling shot of your handsome face.
I like for profiles to begin with telling me about the writer as a person. I want to make sure they are someone whose company I would enjoy before anything else. I want to know about their personality. (and I just so happen to love dorks, and so do many other women)
How long are you stationed in Hawaii? I am sure women in your area wants to know.
Also, you need to write a paragraph describing the qualities you are seeking in a partner.
Over-all, your profile is pretty good.

Posted:

You are smiling in none of your photos, and do not appear approachable.
Your profile is one big ole block of text. Break your ideas into paragraphs.
You need to update your profile. It is now August. Why should we be interested in what happened in April or May? And, no need to post 'Update' just update as needed.
Revise and come back.

You are welcome for the review. I was referring to your headline "I'm not a Knight in Shining Armour" OK .. but what are you? The very first thing you say to us, is what you are not, and we are more interested in what you are.
Just think about something witty to catch our eye. The first thing I thought was 'uh oh that means he is a frog.' *wink*
Just think about it.

Hi, your pictures are great, and you are a good looking guy. Your profile picture is very nice.
...indeed, I've tripped and fallen flat on my face so often that it's all scratched and dented already, despite my having bought it quite recently in anticipation of my sally forth into the perilous world of online dating. :-(
Okay, now that I've figured out how to wear my helmet properly, I can actually see where I'm going and avoid running into objects, so I've managed to calm down and can now tell you a little bit about myself:
** I have no idea what this means, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be in your profile; however, I don't recommend starting off with it. If I said "huh?" Others are probably also.
I'm currently a PhD candidate at Michigan State. GO GREEN! I'm fairly laid-back, and perhaps some would say I'm an unassuming guy. In nearly every aspect of my life, I prefer to be pragmatic and to always keep things real (hence the profile title). That's not to say that I don't value morally and intellectually sound ideals--far from it--but I'm generally satisfied with putting in my best effort and standing by the outcome.
** This is good, and I understand your title is 'keeping it real' but most of us are more interested in what you are as opposed to what you are not. You may not be a Knight in Shining Armour, but what do you have to offer?
I'm looking to meet a smart, funny and interesting girl, with a view towards friendship, possibly more, if we were to really hit it off. I'm always open to new experiences. I enjoy lively, intelligent conversations on pretty much any topic, and love to have a good laugh.
** I highly doubt you enjoy conversation on any topic.
Over-all, your profile is very good. We never appeal to the masses, so be patient, and you may find a lady of caliber for you.
I wish you must success in your search.

Your profile picture should be one of just you. We aren't interested in playing the guessing game right off the bat. You have several very pretty shots that would work nicely.
Your profile is fine until we get to the first date section? What the hell was that about?! I sure hope you feel better now that you have it off your chest, but goodness, my friend, delete that mess as soon as possible. All the positive energy which was felt in the first part is out the door, and we are leaving with someone who seems angry, bitter, whiny and not someone we would be interested in meeting.
I recommend saving most of this for one on one conversation.
***Update***
I guess its because I don't really know you and it doesn't matter what strangers think of me, I can be open about things I normally wouldn't say.
You probably are more experienced than me. I have been with 5 people in the last 10 years so I really don't have any idea what guys are looking for anymore.
On the outside my life is perfect. I run my own business, I live in my dream house, I drive nice cars, I have everything I need, but after it all is said and done I am still lonely.
I have already outlived my pawpaw, my grandmother and my Daddy. On that side of the family I don't have any siblings, any aunts, uncles, or even cousins. I am the last Abernathy in my family. Many people don't realize how important family is, try not having any
I have lost 60 lbs in the last 5 months and I did it with my elbow so badly broken that 2 surgeries later I still am not allowed to lift over 10 lbs. I broke my elbow off when a horse lost his balance when I was cantering him and he fell over sideways back in Feb. I was alone in the arena for 30 min. before my room mate could get home and help me. I couldn't get up by myself, I couldn't get dressed by myself, and I couldn't work for a month after that. I never wore a cast.
I'm not telling you this for you to pity me. I am the strongest person most people that know me have ever met. I don't sit around and let things happen to me. I get up and do something about it.
However, I want to be taken care of again. I want to feel safe in someones arms again. I want to be treated like a lady and I would love to spoil you in return.

*screams* N-o-o-o-o!!! No mirror shots!! No! No! No! No! Just wait till you are able to have a normal photo taken. Don't worry about those who do not like your hair. The right woman for you will love it, and quite frankly, why would you be interested in someone who is interested in you based upon your hair (or lack of)?
Your profile is terrific, just try to be patient.
Good luck in your search.

How's my profile content looking?
Posted:
7/24/2009 12:33:16 PM
Well, first of all, you are absolutely adorable, and your profile is excellent except for the last part.
I doubt I will find much in this cesspool (haha), but I've befriended some great guys during my previous times as a member; perhaps I'll find even more who enrich my life with knowledge and happiness. I figured looking online could only help my chances. :)
Why not leave out "I doubt I will find much in this cesspool (haha)" .. it puts a negative spin on an otherwise excellent profile.
Good luck in your search!

Posted:

Even though we share some of the same hobbies I have no idea if our personalities will match. I recommend telling us briefly about you as a person, and also the qualities you are seeking in a partner.
Also, how old are your children? There is a big difference between a 4 and 14 year old.
Good luck in your search.

I would like honest oppinions here please
Posted:
7/14/2009 12:14:31 PM
You asked for an honest opinion, and I am going to give mine.
I am curious what results you were expecting here? You have been a member for 17 days, and you are ready to give up?! I am curious if you were expecting this site to be 'Drive Thru Dating,' because it is not. No woman in her right mind would invest three seconds in a man who is ready to give up without giving something a chance.
In my humble opinion, your profile picture is creepy! Yes, I used an exclamation point!
Plus, as the previous poster mentioned, it doesn't catch our eye as a thumbnail. Most of the time our profile is looked at because someone came across our picture at the top of the page. It is very important our profile picture is a clear, up close, smiling facial shot.
I am going to second all the great advice you have been given.
About Me
Ok, so before you read this ladies, I want to ask for your honest oppinions about me, good bad or indifferent, please take a moment to drop me a note and let me know what can be improved on here to make you want to meet with me. Because seriously I am a great fun and loving dude and am wondering why you ladies don't answer my messages. Thanks for the input, now read on.
** Great fun? According to this paragraph you are a whiny pooh. The most important thing about you is that you whine?! Yikes! Out of all the profiles I have read, I have yet come across one of someone seeking a whiner.
I am a very independant person.
** Independent, how; because, it doesn't sound like you are emotionally independent?
most except rap or country, my music interests are variable to the mood I am in.
** This doesn't make sense.
I love the beach, boats, boogie boarding, hiking skiing sailing prettymuch anything outdoors, I want someone who i could just hang out with or see where the chemistry goes. I want a workout partner to help encourage me into the shape I want to be in. I used to weigh 285 now hovering around 235 at 6 foot 3 inches.
** Congratulations on your weight loss! :-)
I am outgoing, like to dance despite what others may think of my style. I know a little Salsa, line dancing, two step, square dancing, hip hop, techno what ever, I am not shy about dancing to ")feel good" music. I know what I like and don't like in a woman. I like one who is passionate, self sustaining, healthy, happy, outgoing, people person, active, clean (in all areas of life), organized (to an extent, I mean we all have little messes like in the garage), sexualy passionate, not a lump in the bed, enjoys the great outdoors and can hold her own in hiking boots with little or no complaints(better that way), likes to cook or be cooked for, has an attitude about trying anything once, is not neggative and does not talk about people who are not present to defend themselves, I know I can ramble on......just sit down with me will ya and we will take one step at a time. I am a little ADD at times so please be patient. lol....just kidding.
** Good grief man, please break your ideas into paragraph form! *ouch my eyes* ;-)
** You seem a bit emotionally high maintenance. ('why won't someone write me' 'just sit down with me will ya')
** You state you are seeking an activity partner. Care to expound, because your profile reads as if you are seeking more.
First Date
Spend little or no money (on the first outting, just to feel eachother out first) instead be creative about how to enjoy the outdoors hiking bike riding sailing for free talking having coffee talking about business aspirations, exploring eachothers thoughts dreams and real life experiences.
** This is incredibly tacky, and you sound terribly cheap. (Spend little or no money, sailing for free) There is no need in saying this, just list a few activities you enjoy.
I am not really looking to date per se because my wife and I just split up, I just moved in with a great family here in North Fontana Falcon Ridge area 13 days ago, I am content and happy because despite the divorce I have a very bright future with my glass always full.
** This is a red flag. You have single listed as your status, yet here you say you and your wife just split up, and you moved into your own place 13 days ago, yet then you go on to say you are divorced. Which is it? Are you divorced, or separated, because clearly you are not single?
Come meet with me we can have some activity type of fun and just talk. Or whatever.
sexualy passionate, not a lump in the bed
** Be direct with what you are seeking, because as of now we need a GPS system to figure it out.
Aside from your profile picture, all of this is creepy.
A first date being
hiking or sailing, and then " I am also looking for a guest to join me for a cruise out of Long Beach to baja for 5 days 4 nights for October 12th-16th. The cost for the cruise is $250 to you, that includes port fees and taxes, and you can book your travel here www.takemeawayworld.com let me know if you love travel like me and we shall go sailing into blue waters."
** This is just my humble opinion, so please feel free to take it with a grain of salt. *wink*
** I recommend a rewrite, and then come back.

1)Must believe that Jesus is the son of God, and be fumbling around following him.
First Date
On a first date, I would like to fumble around.
Wow, that is a different first date if I have ever heard one! Would you at least like to have lunch before fumbling for Jesus?

Profile review please
Posted:
7/3/2009 12:32:36 AM
You need more photos. A clear, up close smiling shot as your primary. Although, your photos are lovely, a couple of candid photos are needed.
Your headline says 'Beautiful Blond,' and the first word in your profile says 'beautiful,' it is a bit of overkill. Post regular pictures, and let your reader decide. Whether we feel we are beautiful and sexy is irrelevant as we aren't dating ourselves, eh?
Beautiful, creative, intelligent and sexy blonde looking for irreverent, creative, intelligent man.
** I am under the impression 'irreverent' means disrespectful; I should probably look it up.
Make sure you space your paragraphs.
Good luck in your search.

I love your profile. You have my kind of humor!
You definitely need better photos. You don't look approachable in your primary.
I wish you much success in your search.
You must be patient.

Yes, your profile is long, and it may be a bit intimidating for women your age. I am older, and love to read so I read it, and enjoyed it.
You are very handsome, so your profile may be read based upon that.
Thanks for reading so far! I know I haven't covered other issues such as how I am in a relationship, what types of women I'm attracted to, what type of relationship I'm looking for, all the countries I've been to, the Israeli military combat training I do, the crazy interests listed in my profile, etc.. because I'd rather tell you. So give me a shout if you want to take advantage of this opportunity life brought to you; You won't regret it.
** This is good but I highly recommend writing a brief paragraph as to the qualities you are seeking in a partner.

Come on girls, you can't all be looking for the same Prince Charming. Sometimes you need to kiss a frog or two to find your happily ever after. LOL
** uh, no thanks. This is what you are opening with?!
I would like to start right off by saying to all lady skeptics out there:
** Delete this. There is no room in your profile for such.
I would love to find my best friend, my companion. I am not into "hooking up", I am not married, I have a job, I own a car, I own my own home, I have two beautiful grown children I'm very proud of.
** Move this to the end of your profile.
Ok, now that that's out of the way. LOL
** Delete
You need a paragraph describing the qualities you are seeking in a partner.

If so, what has been your experience? I have been on POF for about a week. As of this writing, I have contacted 127 different women in Florida
Good grief, and that is all I have to say.

Hi Dave,
You have 372 words in your 'About Me' section, and not one tells us who you are as a person, or the qualities you are seeking in a partner. This is a dating site, you know.
Personally, I prefer profiles which begin with telling me about the writer as a person. An emotional connection means far more to me than anything else. All the information about living in New York and Florida is interesting, but doesn't tell me if you are someone I would be interested in talking or meeting with.
About Me
I'm a professional with strong roots in Upstate NY (not NYC). I've lived in Orlando for 4 years and I'm slowly filling my life with closer friends and creating my surrogate family. I miss the food and culture in NY, but like the variety that Orlando has to offer. I work hard and play any way the mood strikes me. Though, I have to admit, the urge to party hard is waning now that I'm out of my 20's, in favor of just spending quality time with family and friends and pursuing professional goals. I love to cook for other people. Guess it's the Italian in me... I am a 'recovering' engineer with an MBA. I have great ambitions in my new profession. I'm striving for a lifestyle where I can be in complete control of my life and have the autonomy to pursue anything I desire. Everyone should have some ambitions in life and be motivated every day to go after them. I'd love to hear about yours, perhaps over a beer or a martini one evening.
** For the most part, this information is good, but seems to be a bit all over the place. You have several subjects in one paragraph, and it doesn't flow too well; however, I do like the way you invite your reader to share with you.

** You have about three seconds to capture our attention, so the first few sentences should be relevant information about you as a person. If this is the most important and interesting thing about you, and then so be it, but I am not quite sure it is.
I want my own children and I prefer dating ladies without children, but I'm willing to make an exception for the perfect lady/kid combo.
** hmmmm Perhaps consider rewording this. Maybe something like, 'I hope to start a family of my own someday, so I prefer dating ladies without children; however, I am open if we have a connection.'
Especially for the ladies that I think enough of to put on my favorites list: I put a few ladies on my favorites that have caught my eye for one reason or another, but that I don't necessarily write to. There's not enough time in the day to chase all the girls... So, if you're one of my favorites, don't waste time wondering why I haven't written. Do something about it. Write me or something. Don't be so damn obstinate.
** Oh, well, your attitude problem here just made my heart go 'pitter-patter.'
*eye roll* Come on honey, don't be such a prick. If this is your attitude when interacting with others, perhaps you need to work on that before dating.
There's not enough time in the day to chase all the girls
** Most women aren't going to invest time and energy into someone who think there isn't enough time in the day to chase all the girls.
By the way, flakes need not apply. Really. Case in point: Don't be the chick that wrote me an email and then blocked me before I could reply. My first reaction was to be offended, but I spent about half a mili-second wondering if there was a bird flapping around in your noggin before realizing the futility of that... At any rate, if you don't have any class, best not to show it off. Don't be "that chick". Of course, that's just my opinion. You do what you want. Nuf-said.
** Dave, you already know how I feel about this paragraph. You may have had responses since having it in your profile, but are they the kind of women you are interested in? I question, since you are in profile reviews. Do you really think women are going to read your profile, and say "Oh no, I'm a flake; I cannot write him."
Those who are flakes generally don't realize it. I don't know the circumstances behind the lady who wrote, and then blocked you before you could respond. I don't know if she sent you a rude note or what. If that is the case, she is a coward, but it really doesn't matter, as anyone who is going to do that doesn't deserve one once of your energy.
Delete this crap. Why are you going to allow someone like that to interfere with you potentially meeting someone whom you are compatible with, but won't give you the time of day because you seem like such an arse?
For the ladies with children: In my experience, you are particularly prone to prying at the marriage/daddy resume way too soon. My readiness to be in a relationship depends on how I feel about you. I'm not 17 anymore, so, it's unlikely that I'm falling in love on the first date. Let it evolve. Step 1: See if you like one another. Step 10: Commitment.
** Good grief man, chill! (see, I'm hip!) Delete this. It sounds like you have some unresolved issues from the past. This is such a ridiculous paragraph! Play it by ear. If you happen to meet someone with children who tries to move too fast. Just say "Slow down Nellie." Dating is what we do to see how compatible we are, and if you find you are going out with someone who is making you uncomfortable for any reason, then end it. Dating isn't commitment.
You profile is mostly a b.i.t.c.h.e.n. (gotta love filters) fest. If you are going to do that in a public forum, I can only imagine what you are like in the privacy of your own home, and I bet I am not the only one who feels that way. Please consider what I am telling you.
So, I recommend, doing a complete over haul.
Section one - Tell us who you are. Tell us about your personality traits, and quirks. Don't tell us how you friends and family describe you, as no one should know you better than you know yourself. Are you out going, or more of an introvert? Are you the life of the party, or more likely to be conversing with a small group? Are you boisterous, or stay away from such? Are you compassionate?
Section two - Tell us about your hobbies and interests. Expound on them. Your target audience is women, and women like connections.
Mostly what you say in your 'About Me' section now. Just separate the ideas into their own paragraph and expound on them. I recommend milking the fact; you are Italian who loves to cook, for all it's worth. *wink* women like that!
Section three - Tell us the qualities you are seeking in a partner. Just stick with what you are seeking. Is she professional? How about high maintenance? Maybe you are more attracted to the girl next door who doesn't mind playing Frisbee with you in the park.
Instead of moaning, groaning and belly aching, entice us to want to know more, not run away as fast as we can.
Hope this helps. See, what I do when I cannot sleep. *wink*

I was relaxing in my chair when I clicked on your profile, and unfortunately the last paragraph is what caught my attention. I didn't bother reading what else you had to say.
One would think an educated man would have more creativity to get his point across without being offensive.

** I'm curious, just what class was the above paragraph?
At any rate, if you don't have any class, best not to show it off.

Jeremy,
In my opinion, it isn't whether or not you have 'dating' or 'seeking long term, you simply do not appear approachable. You are smiling in none of your photos, and in two (your primary, no doubt) you are standing with your arms crossed, and a scowl upon your face. You don't seem very inviting.
I understand it is hard not beginning all sentences with 'I', but you need to reword a few so it doesn't come across as 'me, me, me.' Yes, our profiles are about us, but yours seem to be more about you and your demands, and less about why we should be interested.
I prefer profiles which begin with telling me about the writer as a person. It is important our personalities are compatible before anything else.
You come across as quite defensive.
Someone who inspires me to become a better man because i want to not because she wants me to.
** Why not just end this at 'who inspires me to become a better man.'
because i want to not because she wants me to
** This makes me believe you have unresolved issues, and a red flag is raised.
Every man wants a good-looking woman but without a brain, common sense, and the right mix of immaturity and sense of humor you wont keep my interest.
** hmmm I think you are creative enough to reword this, so that you don't come off as an arse. We don't care what every man wants; we are interested in you. If you are seeking someone intelligent, playful and who is quick to smile, just say that.
I want passion and allot of laughter but when things are serious I want mutual respect.
** Really? Does this make you unique? How many people do you think are seeking someone to disrespect them? Come on! This is a given. Again, it sounds like you have unresolved issues, another red flag.
This doesn't mean you let people walk all over you just means you can control your emotions and use your brain to solve an issue.
** Delete - Another red flag.
I dont care to keep up with the Joneses there broke anyways.
** Attitude, much? Red flag.
I would rather experience something than to have something.
** This is great!
www.irvisions.com
** It is against POF rules to have personal information listed. Consider removing it, or you may find your account deleted.
My over-all impression -
My inner being is screaming "DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON" *click*

About Me
Where do I start? Well, first and foremost, I like to think I'm a good person. I do believe in treating others as I'd like to be treated and I hope to find someone who agrees with that philosophy. I would also like to think that I've learned a great deal from past relationships. The things I've learned, I believe, have made me a better person and someone who is not likely to make the same mistakes twice. If everything works out, I am definitely interested in a long-term relationship.
As for me, I think of myself as a good guy, someone who loves to laugh and doesn't mind being laughed at. I try to keep myself busy but there are times when I really hate being single. Going out for dinner by yourself really sucks!
Anyway, I have a full-time job, share a house with my dog Barney (aka, The Boss), have no children, go to the gym pretty much every day and just started playing hockey again last winter after a 25-year layoff. I absolutely love to travel and have been going on resort vacations for about the past 15 winters now.
I could go on and on, but this will have to do for now.
As for you, ideally you are a good-hearted woman who loves to laugh and doesn't take life seriously all the time.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Oh, and a few people have asked about my ethnic background. It's English, as in from England.
**
Well, one thing you need to break this up for an easier read. Right now, it is a bit hard on the eyes, and difficult to read. I imagine, your profile is being passed over for that reason.
Where do I start?
**
I don't recommend beginning with this. In my experience, when someone begins a conversation with, 'Where do I start,' it is an indication of something negative.
ex. I ask someone how their day is, and they respond, "Not so good," so I ask what happened, and they say "Where do I start?"
**
Also, it is filler information, and tells us nothing about you. You have about 5 seconds to capture our attention, so you want to begin with relevant information.
**
Even though, 'Let me begin with,' is still filler information, it seems a bit more positive than, 'Where do I start.'
Well, first and foremost, I like to think I'm a good person. I do believe in treating others as I'd like to be treated and I hope to find someone who agrees with that philosophy. I would also like to think that I've learned a great deal from past relationships. The things I've learned, I believe, have made me a better person and someone who is not likely to make the same mistakes twice. If everything works out, I am definitely interested in a long-term relationship.
**
Are you actually a good person, or do you just like to think you are? Do you treat others the way you want to be treated, or do you just believe in the philosophy?
Have you learned things from your past or not?
The things I've learned, I believe, have made me a better person and someone who is not likely to make the same mistakes twice.
**
I recommend deleting everything after 'person,' and expounding on what you have learned. Have you learned compromise, patience or something else? Tell us, we want to know. (My ears would perk if I came across a profile speaking of such.)
As for me, I think of myself as a good guy, someone who loves to laugh and doesn't mind being laughed at. I try to keep myself busy but there are times when I really hate being single. Going out for dinner by yourself really sucks!
**
Again, are you a good guy, or do you just think you are?

This tells me, you do not like being alone, and seeking someone out of need instead of want.

**
Instead of saying, "Going out for dinner by yourself really sucks," why not say, 'Having a dinner companion is always a treat?' (Or something similar)

**
This confused me. Are you employed, or have you been laid off?
I could go on and on, but this will have to do for now.
**
What purpose does this statement suppose to serve? Delete - Filler information.
**
Use the great advice you have received from the other posters. (Expounding on your interests, and telling us a bit more about the qualities you are seeking in a partner.)
First Date
I'm up for about anything.
**
Anything? Anything at all? Aw, you will go to my quilting guild with me? You are so sweet, or perhaps, we can sky dive, then meet with Rhymer Rigby, and have spiders for lunch. Come on; just list a few things you would like to do. We aren't interested in what you do not want to do.
Hope this helps.
You are a good looking man, and have the sweetest dog. I wish the best of luck in your search.

Let me read them and weep! Have had no bites!

About Me
I'm a real girlie girl but I can also get down and dirty if the need arises (sports,camping, I've always wanted to go fishing and never have...) I love dressing up but I can also throw on jeans and a ball cap depending on the situation. Personality wise: I'm outgoing, honest, confident, sweet, cute, and outspoken um I forgot modest...kidding! I talk alot and tend to ramble but also have the common sense to stay quiet when I have to. Before I go on, if you feel like we might get along at any point while reading this then msg me, not just view me. You never know...
** Personally, I prefer a profile to begin with telling me a bit about the writer's personality. For me, it means more that our personalities are compatible than common interests .
but also have the common sense to stay quiet when I have to
** Only when you have to? After your mouth is duct taped, or what?
Who am I?
*I love my family and friends, they are the absolute best!!! I have a 7 yr. old son whom I adore! He's the best kid in the world but then again I am biased so...
*I love dancing (this is my greatest passion)- my folks put me in dance classes @ age 3 and I never stopped
*Hanging out with friends (I've had the same ones since I was 14 and I love them, plus new ones that have joined the crew along the way)
*Reading (I need to read! I've met people who only read magazines and while that's ok for them, if you want to meet me then I suggest you read something other than the cereal box or funnies). Although, I love Archie comics!
*Movies (I am a huge movie buff!!! Old ones, new ones, classics, I'll watch anything but my faves are horror and comedies.) Never get tired of Superbad, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers,Spaceballs, Caddyshack, Goodfellas & The Great Outdoors!
*Partying (By no means am I an introvert! I do socialize and I like guys who do too. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you doing keg stands, just as long as you're not a hermit)
*Downtime (i.e. shooting pool, catching a movie @ home, bbq's with friends, bowling)
*Family Guy,It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, American Dad & Ghost Hunters are my favorite TV shows.
*Music. Love it! It's always present! Kings of Leon, Weezer, Randy Rogers Band, Aaron Watson, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Mana, etc... I enjoy any type of music except heavy metal.
** This big ole block of text is hard on the eyes.
*Reading (I need to read! I've met people who only read magazines and while that's ok for them, if you want to meet me then I suggest you read something other than the cereal box or funnies). Although, I love Archie comics!
** Yet, you have mentioned nothing of your favorites. Unless, you want to discuss books, then it shouldn't matter if I only read the comics; however, if you would like to discuss them, then why not list a few of your favorites?
Who are you?
* Family oriented
* Has a group of friends you love (and who will love me)
* Can go for dinner, drinks, and dancing (yet you still know who Deadpool is)
* You're sarcastic not mean!
* Funny not crude
* Open doors for me and little old ladies
* Can take a joke
* Hold true to your convictions
* Can change a tire
* Plays poker (and will show me how)
* Likes watching cheesy movies on a rainy day
* Can hold a conversation with anyone
* Can BBQ like there's no tomorrow
* You look just as good in jeans & a tee as you do in a suit
* You are confident!
* Will join me for a duet in a karoake bar (even though I can't carry a tune)
Does all this criteria have to be met, or it is OK if I only fit a few? What if I happen to open the door for whoever is there; whether it is you, a little old lady, a couple coming in, an attractive woman, a man carrying a baby etc. ? What if my basic personality is considerate? Will that be OK? It doesn't come across that way.
Plays poker (and will show me how)
** What if I do not play, but would like to learn, and it's something we could learn together?
* Can BBQ like there's no tomorrow
** Pardon? Based upon whose opinion? Mine, yours, who?
I dislike arrogance (not to be confused with confidence), people blowing their noses at the table (yuck), people who complain all the freakin time, anyone who doesn't know how to park their vehicle in a parking spot, & ppl who honk in traffic (come on now folks).
** OMG, I dislike these things too, and so does most everyone. I have yet to come across a profile which says 'I am seeking an arrogant, whiny man who blows his nose at the table.' Come on now, really!
On a final note...I am very trusting and warm but don't let that fool you for one second, I will call you on your bullsh*t!!!
** Delete - This doesn't need to be in your profile.

** This isn't necessary, and certainly doesn't need to be your first sentence. You have about 3 seconds to capture our attention, and you begin with irrelevant information.
** If you are seeking friends, then why not just list seeking friends instead of hanging out? Sometimes, people assume 'hanging out' means getting together for sex. Yes, we may go bowling first, but the night usually ends doing the horizontal tango.
And this statement reinforces that thought.
soooo looking for a friend doesn't add so much pressure to me as going out on a intimate date..
** That may be your intention, I'm not sure, but the fact you chose the word 'intimate' is confusing. To women, that word may have a different definition, but to some men when they see it their eyes immediately are @@.
I get invited constantly but decline a lot of the time because its couples.
** Delete - Again, It is irrelevant information, tells us absolutely nothing about you, well except you sound a bit whiny.
So let me just say this... I have fallen off the wagon with cig's 2 times, its extremley hard but im still trying to quit, I am not a 10..but I am a 7.5 or 8 depending on the day. I dont have young kids mine are 21-26 all boys. I live alone, I am employed, I love to cook once in a while, but the most important thing is it takes me a minute to warm up..
** This paragraph is all over the place. I have no idea what this means, "but the most important thing is it takes me a minute to warm up."
if you have enough friends than thats great and no hard feelings.
** Delete -
In my opinion, you come across as a whiny negative Nelly (ex. I'm not a 10, I don't get together with my friends because I am alone, if you don't want to be my friend that's ok)
You sound a bit high maintenance emotionally, and that isn't attractive to most people.
I recommend writing your profile as a word processing document, (look under programs on your computer for Word or Works) because you have several spelling errors.

You may or may not be someone I'd enjoy spending time with. I have no idea if our personalities will clash since you have mentioned nothing of yours.
You may find me delightful, or even obnoxious, but you have mentioned nothing of the qualities you are seeking in a partner. Right now, I have no idea if you'd be interested.
I put that referrence about the 7 or 8 , because i recently went out for drinks with a guy and in a statement he said ,"In my younger years i only settled for a 10, but as i get older i have to re-evaluate my score and go for more like a 6 or 7. (uummm that was the first and only date with him)
** I wouldn't have gone out with him again either but, I still don't believe it is a good idea to have your 'score' listed, as there are going to be those who find us a 10, those who find us a 5, and sometimes those who find us a 1 or 3. It is all subjective.

I understand it is hard to stop smoking, but you are considered a non-smoker only when you do not smoke. When you accomplish your goal, then claim you are a non-smoker, but not before then.
well I changed my profile the other day, cause I didnt want anyone to assume I am only on here to find a husband.lol so I am looking for a friend to hang out with, go boating, barbaguing with friends, fourwheeling, camping, etc... I get invited constantly but decline a lot of the time because its couples. so let me just say this... I have fallen off the wagon with cig's 2 times, its extremley hard but im still trying to quit, I am not a 10..but I am a 7.5 or 8 depending on the day. I dont have young kids mine are 21-26 all boys. I live alone, I am employed, I love to cook once in a while, but the most important thing is it takes me a minute to warm up.. soooo looking for a friend doesn't add so much pressure to me as going out on a intimate date... soo if your tired of being alone and will accept a new friend that can keep your summer busy, that isent a 10 , will continue to stop the smoking thing and will drag my ass to the gym like im sappose to ,,, then write back. if you have enough friends than thats great and no hard feelings.
** I hope you take the advice of others. You need to break your profile into paragraphs for an easier read. It is unorganized and difficult to comprehend. There is no reason to state you feel you are a 7.5, 8 or 10, as you are not wanting to date yourself, eh. You have your photos listed, and we will decide if we find you attractive.
Honestly, It is irrelevant how attractive we view ourselves.

yea just wondring if there's anything wrong with my profile. lots of viws but no replies. ive deleted some freak stuff about me thinking it was too much and still the same result. i guess i just have bad luck with my profile. it seems like mate 1 gives me alot more responses but who wants to pay. i look at the male side and it seems like my profile would be up to par or atleast respectful.
Yes, there are a few things wrong with your profile. First please write your profile as a word processing document to help with grammar. Yes, we consider things like that.
hey wats up. im just giving this a shot to see if anybody hits me up on here. im just a chill, cool, calm, and collected guy that has nothing but positive vibes coming from me lol. im often funny i keep ppl laughing even if i dont try to make them laugh you just gotta catch me in the right moment. for what im looking for is friends maybe more. race doesnt matter im open to any race. id dont believe relationships or dating should be limited to a single race. im drug,disease, and drama free, i work and drive, i gotta have a car if im into cars and drag racing. i love hondas. on my spare time i'll go to the bars at adams morgan, movies or the street races from capital heights to b-more. as for what im looking for i just somebody all around nice is fine. im not very picky like most ppl.if you want more pics hit me at spam.com/hondamaaan
** Remove this. "hey wats up. im just giving this a shot to see if anybody hits me up on here." It isn't needed, and it comes across as 'I'm not really interested in meeting someone, but I do want to see how many people find me hot.'
Speaking of which, you need better pictures. Surely, you have someone who can take a few pictures of you. Bathroom photos are tacky, and the flash in the mirror is distracting. You need a full frontal, clear, smiling facial shot. (sans hat and sun glasses)
race doesnt matter im open to any race. id dont believe relationships or dating should be limited to a single race.
** You have 'race' mentioned three times in two sentences. "I'm open to meeting people of all races, as I don't believe dating should be limited to mine" or something similar will suffice.
** You need to break your ideas into paragraphs for an easier read.
You say
Do you drink?
Socially
Yet, you have 'bars' listed in the interest field, and in one of your photos you are holding a half bottle of Rum. Plus, in your profile you say
on my spare time i'll go to the bars at adams morgan,
It gives the impression you drink more than socially.
hit me up on the m y s p a c e http://www.m y s p a c e.com/hondamaaan and

** Remove this information. It is against POF rules and you may find your account deleted.
Virgo natives have the reputation of being cool, undemonstrative and even somewhat frigid in their attitude toward love and romance. However, this is rarely the case. Rather, it is the most calm waters which tend have the most depth. There is a need here to express the deepest emotions in an almost self-sacrificing manner, which is why Virgo subjects will give a great deal of themselves to a cause in which they are interested, or in a way of life which they feel is the only way. If that way of life should be marriage, then these individuals will be fully dedicated to making the partnership a success. Persons who fall beneath the jurisdiction of this Zodiac Sign can be very withdrawn, particularly with strangers. Indeed, they only appear warm and loving to those who know them best. Virgo natives require a tranquil partner and a solid foundation for happiness. These are earthbound souls in moral outlook, which does not mean they have no spiritual side but merely that they are not prone to float or drift. Deeply-rooted in fundamental beliefs, the Virgo subject is unmoved by the more ariel or light-hearted spirits. Those ruled by Virgo will never be flattered by charm or overcome by acts of show or overwhelmed by admiration for the flashy. These are persons who know what they want...in both love and life...and will pursue their partner of choice with much determination. This is truly a shining nature, generous in unmaterial things while being careful in every other respect. Virgo individuals can only be happy with a mate they believe to be ideal in every way and they are willing to wait until such a person comes along.
The Virgo male is orderly and methodical in his thinking, but not always in his dress. Typically a generous and loyal soul, he may not be overly sympathetic in romantic affairs although he constantly harbors a desire to assist those in need. This man usually proves to be a true partner or husband..once he makes up his mind..and will be very affectionate and devoted to his family. At times, Virgo males may be extremely demanding, requiring that any mates prove themselves over and over again. They will also expect sacrifices to be made if necessary. Anyone seeking a "sugar daddy" or a man who will take infinite care of his partner had best seek elsewhere. This individual can be depended upon, but he is nobody's fool. The key word here is integrity and above all else, the Virgo male needs to feel that he is worthy. This is a man with a quick mind and one who is practical and honest. However, he is basically shy in terms of sharing his feelings. Any partner must help the Virgo male to build his confidence and it would be foolish to expect him to be outgoing. This is a far from happy-go-lucky soul. In order to fully understand him, it is necessary to learn how to "read between the lines." Males governed by Virgo need mates who have faith in them and can appreciate depth of feeling. Patience will also be a factor when it comes to achieving goals. To be truly happy with a Virgo man, any prospective partner must appeal to his intellect rather than his emotions. He is inherently critical and discriminating, and does not admire anyone who is weak or whimpering. Males governed by Virgo prefer strong individuals who can hold their own in any given situation. By nature, men of this Zodiac Sign are very practical and will not waste a great deal of time on those who cannot command their respect. If this male ever appears harsh and arbitrary, then it is probably because he expects much more from a partner than that person has been able to provide. In marriage, he will be self-sufficient, dutiful and faithful. Though dependable souls and good providers, Virgo males are not necessarily exciting or adventurous when it comes to romance. Thus, many partners of these men often seek clandestine affairs. It will be important for any mate to realize that no amount of love, attention and/or devotion will ever transform this man into a Don Juan. When it comes to the ability to change, he will inevitably be somewhat stuck in his ways. His staid attitude is frequently well-hidden in the early stages of a love affair. Indeed, he may initially come across as flirtatious, seductive and a veritable tease.
** This is way too much. We are more interested in your traits not the generalities of Virgo males.
First Date
it depends on the type of person im dealing wit if ur into cars were going to sum drag races or street races if you like to drink somewhat or party we'll hit up a bar or club, if you like eating we'll hit up McDonalds lolololol syke dont worry we wont be hittin that up i'll find sumtin nice, if like staying outside we'll go to a park and chill, if you like going from 1 house to another i got movies here at home and sum games to play for ya and maybe sum other stuff can happen, if you like going to the movies i just about go every weekend so that shouldnt be a problem, if you like to go out just to get out the house then all the abovv shouldnt be a problem. oh and race doesnt matter im open to any race
i got movies here at home and sum games to play for ya and maybe sum other stuff can happen,
** Do you really need to be told this is in bad taste? It may be flirty if you have been talking for a while, but it comes across as a red flag in your profile.
** Hope this helps.

If you want help with your profile you should make your own thread. I tried to send you an email, but the filters keep me at bay. *pout*
I have a couple of recommendations if you want them please send me an email.
