Signature vs Initial Posted: 7/16/2009 1:14:19 PM
wow i use just my first initial all the time... espeically on first emails because we haven't actually told each other our names yet. I do it to offer LESS information. good to know that it comes off as being more intimate! these are things i never knew people were reading into at all!

is it unreasonable to expect a response? Posted: 7/14/2009 6:21:57 PM
I definatley take it as a compliment when someone messages and would like to at least respond to people because i know how hard it is to put yourself out there. I mean this in all seriousness... what is a polite response you can say that you're not interested without stirring up those nasty responses other mentioned and without hurting feelings? my biggest reason for not responding though is when guys say NOTHING in their profile or emails... what am i suppose to do with a email that says "hey, lets talk?" I mean if you wanna talk... talk about something for goodness sake... ask me something, tell me something but give me more than a vauge sentence to work with!

I've been on here for about a month now but i figured it could only help to get some opinions from other people so i'd love to hear what you all have to say. I was thinking of adding more details about the kind of music, movies and books i like but didn't know how wordy to get. I'm also holding out hopes to find someone without kids right now but not looking to offend those that do... should i include that? thanks for the suggestions

Judging profiles Posted: 7/3/2009 6:59:52 AM
i definatley find the photographs important but more than just for the looks. If i see pictures that a guy took of themselves in the same pose, even if they are the hottest man ever i won't be interested. I look for some of their personality to come through. Are they smiling? are the participating in an activity they enjoy? are they holding a drink in every single picture? are they surrounded by hot girls in every picture? (cuz if they are why are they looking on here anyway?) and any time a profile has only two sentences that just says "i never know what to write here but i am a fun guy who listens to music and hates drama. message me for more info" that's a waste of time too. i mean no one knows what to say, you have to put some time into it, everyone thinks they are fun and listens to music so that doesn't make you unique. and NO ONE likes drama (or realizes that they do) so why do people always write that!

Would Like A Few Reviews Please. Posted: 7/3/2009 6:41:07 AM
no no i like the humor too in the first date section... the whole idea of these profiles is to show your personality but maybe it could go something like.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` ya di ya di ya da what i did to get ready all that jazz.... went home and thought about you for three hours... leave a few spaces.... oh! you wanted to know what we were gonna do ON the date??? well i love the idea of taking a girl flyfishing or two a local venue conert and then for froyo somewhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ like i said i get the humor but the girl is still gonna wanna know what you consider for a first date

Hey check my pro out please Posted: 7/2/2009 7:40:32 PM
that guy's a smart guy... you should listen to him ;) the quad comment doesn't bother me but you should take out the comment about listening to 80's music when you're feeling gay. I agree with the self pictures... i would almost think to suggest using the iguana pic as your profile cuz its interesting and different he's right too about taking off the pic with anya... a girls not looking to see you with another girl. great start! lots of good luck

Ok guys, have at it! Be nice! :) Posted: 7/2/2009 7:15:34 PM
okay yeah if you were worried about coming off brash, you need to make some changes. you're whole first paragraph is a sign that says back off... if you don't want a smoker put it in your connact preferences, then you get what you want without coming off back. and no one wants an abuser... and those that are the abusers aren't going to think that that describes them so it won't keep them away. either way... its your profile so say what you want but put the positives first... you'll scare them away with all bad stuff.

unbiased reviews needed! Posted: 7/2/2009 2:14:39 PM
okay i AM a female! your profile is definately a great start.... maybe just add a little bit more... * you list what you would do on a quiet night in... what about a night out? you're young and girls your age wanna go out and have fun. * oh and say "i'd like to find a girl who is..." rather than "the girl should be..." you make it sound like they are doing you a favor

Review of my pics Posted: 7/2/2009 1:58:47 PM
the picture you have is fine but why the heck do you have three of the same picture?? you think you're gonna look different from one breath to the next? get rid of those and put up some of you participating in some activity you enjoy that shows some personality

your profile has a great start! you already know about the pictures... keep those just add a few more close ups. You say how much you like reading... maybe give an example of a recent book.... same with music. I thought your profile was really good... maybe just break it up a little to make the reading flow a bit. oh and just as a couriosity... what's the deal with other religion? i always wonder what that means... does that mean you're into wicca? people might be interested in a description. FIRST DATE: i get the humor but what???

i disagree... your job is what you do and if you can't tell that upfront than i'd be worried... and heck i'd be thrilled to date a massage therapist in hopes of getting frequent foot rubs. I'm a pretty trusting person, that if its a good relationship you'll know that work is work and it wouldnt' bother me. I guess blondie and i are looking for different types of guys too cuz i like the river picture.. now we are probably just confusing you huh?

dating women in the military Posted: 6/23/2009 8:51:33 PM
its true, as a reservist i don't have to move around. I know that there are stereotypes of the type of women that are in the military (just like there are certain assumptions about the men too). I'm worried that men will get scared off before they even get to know me and find out that i don't fit those stereotypes.

dating women in the military Posted: 6/23/2009 8:01:45 PM
so i'm new to this online dating thing and i'm not sure how much to tell about myself... - I'm in the Air Force Reserves but i'm worried the kind of reaction that info will get from guys. Its part of me but i hate the idea of people assuming what i'm like because of it. so wise men out there... tell me how men feel about dating a woman in the military?

from a girls point of view... maybe your intro emails to people aren't saying anything... cuz your profile looks good! I know when i get emails and all they say is "hey you look fun lets talk", i'm like ummmmm okay talk about what? show some interest in what her profile said so she knows what you're thinking. "your profile looked great... i'd love to hear more about your interest in traveling, my favorite trip so far is to istanbul, what about you?" or "wow that picture of you and the giant sulpture of garth brooks made of butter is hilarious... i'd love to hear more about it. " you know what i mean?

SHALL WE TELL THE TRUTH? Posted: 6/21/2009 8:32:55 AM
you know i was just having a similar conversation with a friend... they should make a site that people are totally honest and discuss their quirks openly... my profile would read: Hi, I'm a great girl with a busy life. I may not have all the time in the world but i'd love to have someone to share it with. I am far from perfect. I am confused about what i want but i expect you to know. I stirve to be better but get defensive when you tell me how. I love to laugh but sometimes when i laugh too hard i get stuck and sound like Bert from Seasame Street. I have great aspirations for my life but need some motivation along the way. I am can be tactile sensitive and freak out when certain things touch me (like newspaper, for some reason i just can't stand the feeling of them) and i might go nuts in the middle of the night when i realize something is touching me but then not remember that i did it in the morning. I sleep with my teddy bear in one arm and a pillow over my head and i get a little squimish when a guy i don't know that well stands to close to me... love me anyway??? do you think that would still get me a guy?

I Want Someone Like ME- is it too much to ask? Posted: 6/21/2009 8:14:50 AM
i think people are being quite harsh here! I'm with you! i was in a long term relationship and when it ended i felt like i had to reconsider everything i was looking for because apparently at 28 it feels impossible to find someone that doesn't already have kids or didn't already meet their spouse while they were in college. I, same as you, am looking for someone without kids, with a college education (hopefully) and a profession. I'm hoping for someone with faith too so that adds another twist to it. i have realized though that never being married shouldn't be on my list because aside from a piece of paper how is a long term relationship really all that different. and unless they were emotional damaged from it, it might actually help them in the future from what they learned
