Does My Profile Say... 'LOOK but Don't Touch'?? Posted: 7/1/2009 10:39:46 AM
Miss You Go First, Yes, I did very much appreciate your helpful suggestions. I incorporated the white space idea right away. I actually went back & forth on that a little bit since the ads I've seen that were all one block of text were a little easier and quicker to scan so long as they contained a relatively brief amt of information as is the case in my profile. So, I'm supremely grateful for your contribution...but reserve the right to CHANGE IT BACK! haha I also took your suggestion on the 'Do you want Children' pull down menu. I also should point out that my profile CONTINUES to pull at an ASTOUNDING rate - well over FIFTY BRAND NEW WOMEN visit me every single day since I first posted in the forum. Here's how it breaks down statistically: 5% - Women in their 50's 28% - Women in their 40's 34% - Women in their 30's 33% Women in their 20's <----That figure kind of surprised me, but I'm delighted as I'm young at heart & LOVE that age group. Some of them were real beauties, too. The other surprise was how many girls from outside my general region were interested in my ad. Fully 22% of the girls were either in other states or more than 75 miles away. I actually have no problem meeting girls in 'real life', but saw the online thing as a way to extend my reach to girls I normally would never meet. And this site has really been helpful in fulfilling that dream. Well that and allowing me to have more fun while slaving in front of a hot computer 12 hours/day! My inbox is also starting to get filled which is another good sign, albeit not nearly at the rate I'd like to see, so I'm still tweaking things. You had written about my pix - "You just seem like a regular guy. (no offense!)" NO offense taken whatsoever. I AM a regular guy. haha But the feedback I've been getting on my pics from the few girls who have taken the time to write has been along the lines of 'hi handsome', 'your cute!!!' and 'cuteness!!!!!' You know how chicks are. lol So, I think my gut feeling was right when I encouraged them to take a good look at the photos. I've read that girls decide VERY quickly about the suitability of a prospective partner anyway, so why fight the flow? Interesting that you would suggest crafting a "practice email", as that's exactly what I'm working on right now! I'm actually developing 3 discrete customizable prototypes. 1) For the girls that respond to the ad whom I find interesting and want to pursue 2) For the girls that respond to the ad that I'm not sure about 3) Girls that visited my profile & did not respond. Kind of a 'Thanks for Visiting' message So you and I are definitely on the right wavelength in approaching this thing! I'm reminded of how many MILLIONS of people use this site. And I JUST got started a week or two ago. It' s really exciting to feel what's about to happen! My [u]3 Step Gameplan[/u] from the beginning was as follows: STEP 1 Start by drawing in a LARGE VOLUME of curious visitors STEP 2 protected info STEP 3 protected info Step 1 has been a SMASHING success - beyond my highest expectations. Now, per your suggestion, I'm working on Step 2...then finally the crucial Step 3. As for your comment that 'You're not hitting on me', all I can say is... SURRRRREEE. LOL! I can tell when a woman finds me intriguing! haha Who knew I'd even attract them right here in the forum?? lol Hey...Wait a second! That gives me ANOTHER great idea......... Take care...and thanks a million! Chill

*Saying "I'm interesting" does not make your profile any better! * What in the HELL is that about???? *"I'm interesting" (is) on most of the boring profiles on POF!!! It's OBVIOUS* your profile doesn't leave women wanting to know more. *** I get the feeling that (your) profile is a prank! Am I right?? * "A LOT" of women looking at your profile doesn't mean much around the big fish pond! And just because people [I]view[/I] your profile doesn't mean (anything!) I've looked at loads profiles...out of disgust! He thinks he gets more views than anyone else because he must be SOOOOOO AMAZING!! He (probably) has had more women view his profile than have ever taken a second glance in [B]REAL-LIFE!!![/B] ** (YOUR PROFILE) IS SH!T!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Great...er...Tips! Thanks Loads, fellas... lol

[QUOTE] Your MAIN picture is Um... NOT the best choice for a dating profile! I'd nix THAT one entirely; The photos don’t help you! #1 says you're dancing with another woman. She's "your friend"... yeah, right, sure, most of the women here have heard that old line many times! #2 says you cropped #1 and blew it up so it's fuzzy. #3 says it's old (and a bad picture at that) What EXACTLY were you hoping these pictures would say about you because I don't see ANYTHING positive!!! Your profile is all of 6 sentences long!! Create a real profile!! And you begin with you're too busy to date ! DELETE the negative lines about walling off! THREE of your sentences repeat the "respect" angle... You really don't say very much at all!! Your 'ad' is NOT aggressive; I'm not even sure what you mean by that!!! Comes off as lazy!! You sound like you are too passive! You need to put in some effort if you want a date! You will be without a date for a long time!!! Make me as a woman suspicious! Doesn't feel right. Your profiles says "Look and move on"!!! I wouldn't even respond to an email from this guy!!!!![/QUOTE] [B]Errr...Thanks!....[I]I think![/I][/B] haha

Does My Profile Say "Look but don't TOUCH" ? I'm pretty new, but have gotten a lot of views. I mean A LOT. Which is cool. But very few people who took the time to look, have actually contacted me thus far. Is that pretty much the norm? Maybe people just like window shopping? haha PS I really don't like to be the FIRST to make contact since my ad is agressive enough already! Besides, I've learned to generally defer to the women's instincts in these matters.
