Should we HELP others with their profiles here? Posted: 11/6/2009 4:34:10 PM
I for one, do not rewrite anything someone says. I'll make suggestions on improving the readability, give helpful advice like "use humor", but occasionally you'll see those rare gems beyond saving. Those are the fun ones to eff with ;)

What can I do to get more responses? Posted: 11/6/2009 1:31:06 PM
Lulz. I can help you. I have helped others get good results on this website. However because of the grammar police flameing me all the time about my post I would rather just email you instructions. Send me an email if you are serious. No, I believe there was one post... Your profile does things horribly wrong for 99% of people. Period. I doubt the methods you'd recommend are going to work for most folks. Besides, you've been here less than a month, and are still here. How valid could your methods be, exactly?

Message tips for Dummies: First, get your pics (primary especially), profile, and headline in order. Then... A) Be picky about who you message. Take the time to look beyond the pictures and see if there's anything in the profile that catches your eye. I once found a profile that read as if it had been sent as an email to me and replied to it as if it had been (yes, I got my replies) ;) B) When you message, reference her profile, interests, common ground - volunteer something not in your profile C) Ask her a question or two related to commonalities or her profile. D) Use humor (clean, as DMR would say) and be personable! DO NOT: A) Don't say WOW U R SO PRETTY ;) I'm pretty sure that while women enjoy compliments, only the vapid ones will yell at you for not including one in your email. Obviously you find them attractive or you wouldn't write, right? (although if she has an exceptional smile? It doesn't hurt to say that you found her profile because her smile jumped out, but the content is what drew you to write (of course, if she has a sparse profile that might not be the best of ideas)) B) Do not give your messenger/AOL/gmail/whatever-client-you-use information C) Do not give her your phone number D) Do not ask her immediately out to coffee (though this is less evil depending on circumstances - breaking the relative safety of the internet will scare off women unless they feel comfortable) E) If she has piercings, don't imply you're interested in knowing how they'd feel on various body parts F) For the love of god and all that is holy, do not attempt to include any sort of pickup line, invitation for sex, suggestion that this email is some life-changing event for the person you're messaging (these items have been complied from stories I've heard from the women I've spoken with, you yourself are not likely guilty of any of them, of course) Sample successful message (I usually wait for first contact, but my profile/pics/headline make that a regular occurrence when I'm not hiding my profile): I love the candor and your clearly-stated views on everything. I'm completely willing to stop playing D&D AND take the pictures of my wife out of my wallet if you're willing to share what it is you're going to school for ;) --Tom Short, has humor, inquires about profile-specific things... Of course, I've also taken many other approaches. YMMV SPSFD

Profile help? Posted: 11/4/2009 10:58:42 PM
Read my profile. The most common phrasing is "I'm not looking for a mother to my kids..." but definitely talk about what woman you're looking for is like. And quit smoking. giggle /message me if you want the name of a company that sells good electronic cigarettes. All the nicotine, none of the carcinogenic compounds.

I found it boring, and replied with a simple "Yes I have" You're part of the problem; not the solution. You've been given copious amounts of good advice and have stuck your nose up and been defensive about all of it. If you can't help yourself, others will stop helping you. Man up and realize that the problem common to all of your issues is YOU.

Emily, since you're a near neighbor I won't take you to task too much... Her earlier full body shot showed that she's certainly average. The current halloween pic suffers from being a white costume, but to say she's "a few extra pounds"? Yeah, I'd have to disagree with you there. (we did the whole "body type" conversation early in the thread - perhaps you missed it?) *EDIT: turns out that was a different thread. Too many reviews...

Most guys have the attention span of a 5 year old and just look at the pictures and glance over the profile if the girl is cute enough. Yeah, um... lose the generalizing chip on your shoulder. That might actually be hurting you more than the interests. Maybe. You aren't going after "most guys", right? You're looking for one worth a damn? Welcome to your target audience. :P

Honestly? Who you are or not, the interests are hurting you, yes. Putting only your MAJOR interests would help you. I wouldn't contact you based solely on your interests, and I'm REALLY open-minded.

What prevents someone who has favorited your profile from contacting you? Posted: 11/1/2009 8:03:41 PM
As far as limits set on people who can email me - I know that a long distance relationship would be very hard for me and it's not what I'm seeking so I will keep that restriction in place. weeps bitter tears Yeah - you know it's OT for this forum, but the advice is true. If you can't message someone, you favorite them and hope they write. It's also a "ploy" from shyguys.

There's a large difference between "too long" and what you have. Mine is 1/3 the size of my old one; which was long, but not "too" long - it's all about how you do it. Give mine a read - it flows well and gives people plenty to talk about while not telling them everything about me.

Review Please!!!! Posted: 10/31/2009 9:38:04 PM
In order to have women contact you first, you need: A) A really good and catchy username B) A really good and catchy headline C) A primary photo with a big grin that makes you look approachable and attractive D) a profile that is so unique that women can't help but write you first. You have NONE of the above.

Don't forget to include a paragraph about what the guy of your dreams is like. You may want to split your text up into more distinct paragraphs separated by a couple of carriage returns (like I'm doing here). It'll make it easier to read.

When sending an email.... getting a response .... but then noticing that the message you sent has been deleted before receiving another.... Lost Cause ? Nope! Reply back!

Pic 3 is a MUCH better primary. I like the Capt shot, but the thumbnail doesn't really do you justice. I know why the stereotype of not dating single fathers exists. I do believe it's wrong. There are a great many fathers, myself included, who love our children, have healthy relationships with our ex, and can manage our needs just fine (and are even open to having new children at some point). Of course, I'm not here to change your mind as much as review your profile... Your contact requirements are STRONGLY off-putting. You've got more filters than you need. A lot of folks searching for a LTR don't have that selected. Some mirror your thoughts on turning a friendship into love by having "friends" selected. Some of the others are mutually exclusive. You Go First would recommend only the absolute dealbreakers: try this instead:? Mail Settings (To message vegathegreat200 you MUST meet the following criteria.) Male Younger than 45 Live within 75 miles. Must not have messaged users looking for intimate encounters or sex. You must have a picture to contact this user. Must not be looking for Intimate Encounter Must not do drugs Must not be married Must not smoke The rest doesn't do too much to talk about who you are. I got no sense of "you" other than you're probably fun. Your haunted house story got a smile for me but the rest was pretty flat. Give my profile a read if you want to see how I approached giving good information and still lacing it with humor?

Pic rating is worthless. There are folks who go by and rate ones. If you care that much about what random people on the internet think of you, you need to work on your self-confidence. Typically I will stay away from any woman who has pic rating turned on because of the esteem landmines that are likely to be lurking.

For starters, your main picture should be a well-lit big toothy grin. Your other pics show you have one, but you have a really bad, quasi-posed picture with a limp grin and an ugly backwards hat for your primary! The third person narrative doesn't really work and is just as forced as it feels for you to write it. Take a look at my own profile and then realize that there are ways to be interesting and humorous without forcing the issue. Read the profile writing tips and be sure to include a good paragraph about what the woman you're looking for is like: http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1262627.aspx Your first date has some originality (remove the parenthetical statement about left hand and just type "left hand") but one should never laugh too loudly at their own jokes. So remove every "lol" from your profile since it reads too much like the text version of canned laughter.

Hoping to catch the late-night crowd with this comment and since it's my review thread and I'm asking, I do hope this is considered "on topic" since it is directly related to profile reviews... Would other reviewers find it helpful to have a mailing list of some kind where we all subscribe to it and one email goes to everyone? I know for several of us there's a fair amount of in-thread banter/convo that could happen elsewhere. I'm completely willing to setup the list and provide info on subscribing to other reviewers. Just not sure if it'd be a valuable tool versus a distraction. Thoughts?

No way to know if they're available on the site in your location. I can, however, tell you that your profile reads far too much like an accusatory finger. The negativity in there is highly passive-aggressive, of course. You violate the site ToS by having your email in your profile as well. I'd recommend reading the profile writing tips from top to bottom if you want to try and make this site work for you (your profile reads very much like almost everyone's does when they first create them). Right now, it's written in a manner that means you're swimming upstream when you should be far more successful. Otherwise, I'd recommend trying one of the paid sites as their serious member base invest money commensurate with their desire to find a successful match. YMMV SPSFD.

Wow... Um... Yeah... On the off chance that you fix that steaming pile of a profile you're currently sporting, these may come in handy. I didn't write them for you specifically, but for your archetype. Message tips for Dummies (in this case, apparently you): First, get your pics (primary especially), profile, and headline in order. Then... A) Be picky about who you message. Take the time to look beyond the pictures and see if there's anything in the profile that catches your eye. I once found a profile that read as if it had been sent as an email to me and replied to it as if it had been (yes, I got my replies) ;) B) When you message, reference her profile, interests, common ground - volunteer something not in your profile C) Ask her a question or two related to commonalities or her profile. D) Use humor (clean, as DMR would say) and be personable! DO NOT: A) Don't say WOW U R SO PRETTY ;) I'm pretty sure that while women enjoy compliments, only the vapid ones will yell at you for not including one in your email. Obviously you find them attractive or you wouldn't write, right? (although if she has an exceptional smile? It doesn't hurt to say that you found her profile because her smile jumped out, but the content is what drew you to write (of course, if she has a sparse profile that might not be the best of ideas)) B) Do not give your messenger/AOL/gmail/whatever-client-you-use information C) Do not give her your phone number D) Do not ask her immediately out to coffee (though this is less evil depending on circumstances - breaking the relative safety of the internet will scare off women unless they feel comfortable) E) If she has piercings, don't imply you're interested in knowing how they'd feel on various body parts F) For the love of god and all that is holy, do not attempt to include any sort of pickup line, invitation for sex, suggestion that this email is some life-changing event for the person you're messaging (these items have been complied from stories I've heard from the women I've spoken with, you yourself are possibly more guilty of some of these than most) Wow, you guys really take this stuff too seriously. This is supposed to be fun, remember? You came here for help, and we take our advice seriously because we enjoy helping those willing to help themselves. We give our time and energy; all we ask back is that you put enough effort in to thank us for our time by becoming an improved member of the site. No more, no less.

First off. You need pictures not taken by yourself; no offense intended, but every one of your pics is horrible. You also need a full body shot. That way you'll be able to trim some negativity later on in your profile because they'll be able to SEE what you look like. about you I'm going to remove the bad parts of your section to show you how little is actually present: Watching sports is a hobby of mine especially as the seasons come to a end and the games actually start counting. Took up rock climbing recently,i enjoy it alot and getting better at it every week. I goto the gym when im down, nothing is a better pick me up then working out. You have a LOT of negativity in your profile that isn't needed. You can positively describe the opposite and get better interest. Example: Im not ripped or look like im on roids, but i am fairly fit, as a result i want to meet girls who aren't bigger then me(Sounds a shallow but im being honest). Becomes: I am fairly fit and staying healthy is important to me; I hope to share that interest with you! See how it reads better but asks for the same thing? Read the profile writing tips thread (from top to bottom) and think about how you want to portray yourself and what you're looking for. http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1262627.aspx

I love his flexing and shirtless pics though! And his profile? We could all learn a lesson from his...

I've never understood how really old threads get bumped multiple times... OP's profile needs some help and loving still. Wonder if she's still around.

So what is the accepted flow of dating these days? Posted: 10/25/2009 9:12:53 PM
Ah, the last time there was definitely a kiss and mutually enjoyed, at that. And yet... Regardless. My "hair loss" is definitely self-inflicted. I'd even had it grown out for a bit but shaved it again over the weekend.
