Pick me, pick me!

I really liked your profile. Shows your humour and lets us know you as a person. but I'm female so not sure the fact I like it counts!
<div class="quote"> I tend to be low-key on the whole, however I'd love to try new things. Some stuff I'm interested in doing, in convenient list form:
whitewater rafting
SCUBA diving
snowboarding
swimming with great whites
overnight trail ride
this list certainly doesn't say you're low key. Maybe reword it?
Sooooooooo jealous that you've swam with great whites!!!!
I liked your pics too
Good Luck

looking for reviews of my profile
Posted:
8/5/2009 3:28:21 AM
Well you have a lot of people who have added you to their fav's so don't think you're doing too badly!
For what it's worth I'll give you my two cents
A bit more info on what else you like to do other than sport eg what type of music do you like? What films do you like? etc
I hate 'posing' pics .... and you have two pics of you and you biceps!! Why!? Your pics are also in the same place .... if you're out camping and playing sports why not take pics of you doing that (or get someone to take them) show us you not your biceps
good luck

Just looking for some input on my profile.
Posted:
8/5/2009 3:13:36 AM
Most of you profile is ok ...... but you need to put things into smaller paragraphs ......... just now it's just a big block of writing and that puts a lot of people off.
fart jokes,
Ok this might be a 'guy thing' but you're 23 not 16! I'd delete this!
also try and get your pals to take some pics of you our and about doing stuff ... smiling would be good. And minus toilet paper! You have to love those 'bathroom' pics
Good Luck

Profile review please?
Posted:
8/5/2009 3:03:59 AM
Your profile is ok though you're a bit negative ..... about yourself in it.
.
<div class="quote"> If you find yourself passing up my profile without even giving me a chance, back up and send me a message. You don't have to be that way and ignore the ones that don't look perfect.
People have different views on what is 'perfect' looking ............you might be their 'perfect' so I would lose the negative comments
You also repeat yourself a few times in your profile saying your goofy and about your love of art. I read it and once I got to the 'repeaters' I just thought yeh so you've said!
You should also change your main profile pic it's a bit strained looking (sorry) you should have a nice face pic as your main one. Your pics are a bit 'samey' get a bit of variation going when you're out with your freinds get them to take some pics of you doing stuff and you should maybe try and get a full body shot in there as one of your pics too
Hope some of this helps

Hiya well I guess this is the bit where I ramble crap about me so here goes:
Delete!
it's not my dream job but I've not worked out what is just yet.
Delete ..... it's negative. Or reword ... maybe saying you're still looking for that dream job to come along
Yes I know I'm asking too much but hay you don't ask you don't get ;)
No you're not asking for too much so would delete this
Apart from that your profile covers most of the bases needed and I liked your first date info ..... get a pic of you smiling uploaded and use it as your main pic

What's a good way to say you're wanting casual sex?
If the person reading your profile leans towards casual sex they'll contact you .... no matter how you present it!

is my profile too negative?
Posted:
6/27/2009 3:18:06 PM
The only bit I thought was ok was your list of likes .... and I hate lists on profiles!!
Yes your profile is too negative ... I personally would delete it all and restart but I'll give you my 2 cents opinion.
People don't want to read negative things .... you don't have to lie in your profile to make your life 'more exciting' but no one is going to message someone that sounds boring and negative
I'm actually a REALLY bland person. I get up at 6:30, go to work, go to the gym, get home at 20:00, shower, eat supper, rinse, watch an hour of tv and go to bed. Do you REALLY want to get involved with someone like that? Good, cause there's a good chance that I wouldn't want to sway from my routine either.
Delete!!
I'm a very independent person. I've been single for a long time, and I kind of like it that way. I don't have alot of friends, although I would be your most loyal one.
If you're happy being single why are you looking for someone on here? Delete or reword eg I'm a very independent person. I've been single for a long time and I'm now looking for that person who'll change that for me.
I like girls who ask the question "why should I like him", instead of "why would he like me". The later mindset greatly reflects the type of people I'm not interested in.
I understand what you're saying here but because someone doesn't think a certain way you wouldn't be interested in them? You might be missing out on a great person as they just won't bother messaging you after reading this.
I'm a mixture of new and old. You'll understand when you see how judgemental I am towards inconsiderate people and how I much I respect selfless acts; but at the same time I have nothing against marijuana users (I've never done drugs) and I believe in pro-choice.
You could word this better. Instead of saying 'judgemental' why not say you don't like inconsiderate people ... 'judgemental' is a strong word and quite negative. You should delete the marijuana reference .... you only need to state you're pro-choice for people to 'get' what you're saying
If you like doing any of those things, or just want to chat hit me up. But please recogonize that the activities I do on my spare time, I would expect you to do them with me as well. :p
Why not reword eg I'd love to share the activities I take part in with you ... would you be willing to join me?
Take your list of likes and rework them into a small paragraph ... it reads better
I appreciate you have pics but as they are private people will think you are hiding something ... you also will get more people looking at your profile if you have a pic ... I don't think many females will talk to someone who they can't 'see'
Good Luck!

I just updated my profile and I'd love some advice from the ladies
Posted:
6/27/2009 2:54:45 PM
First of all you need more pics ... ones that aren't fuzzy and try to have a bit of variety to them and preferably one of you smiling to have as your main profile pic.
You don't need 'titles' for your separate sections 'About me': movies: music: you should delete them.
I look pretty intimidating to most people I meet, but really I swear I'm just a nice guy on the inside :).
Delete or reword ......... the person viewing your profile will make that decision it's also negative against yourself which isn't what you're wanting people to read about you in the first sentence.
You don't need such a big list of movies one or two will give the reader an idea of what you like
Add a little about you .... what do like to do when you're chillin out, do you do sports etc
message me if you want to find out more :)
This is boring and the person know's to send you a message if they like you
Hopefully some of this helps

Lawyer is right your profile is honest ... and if that's what you're looking for then cool you will get the females that are into the same thing as you contacting you.
There's no point in anyone stating in their reviews that shouldn't be saying you're only looking for a sexual relationship when that's exactly what you are looking for and just stating it as it is.
Whether there's a lot of females in your area looking for the same is another thing
And there really isn't anything else to say
Good Luck

Any suggestions?
Posted:
6/26/2009 12:16:12 PM
You're pics aren't too bad .... but you should have at least one full body shot ... but yeh if you can get some pics up that are less blurry too I'm sure it sould help
You should break your information up into paragraphs it makes it easier to read ... some people just won't read a full block of writing. You also have a few spelling mistakes that you should correct.
I have been divorced for 3 years, have 3 grown kids and 2 awesome grandkids. I do get along well with my ex, so if you're jealous or suspisious because of it, it would be a problem. We worked hard to get to be friends again, and I won't give that up...it's best for us and our kids.
It's actually a positive thing that you're still friends with your ex husband but you're coming across as a bit confrontational here so you could maybe look at rewording this bit
I prefer dating men between 44-52.
Would delete this ....... someone could be 42 or 53 and they could be your perfect partner .... they might not message you because you've stated this so you could be losing out
Add a bit about what you're looking for within a potential partner. You seem to like a lot of outdoor activities ... would you require that in a partner?

I am passionate about the outdoors and stay active all 4 seasons, and hope to find someone who shares that same interest.
The 'outdoors' is a large place/subject
what activities/interests do you do that you would like someone to share with you?
Apart from that I thought your profile was good and covered all bases needed .... and your pics are nice and varied

Would Someone Like To Review My Profile
Posted:
6/24/2009 9:04:47 AM
The pics you know about so not going to mention them
I really liked your profile the only bit I read and didn't think you should have is -
Right now I have a lame part time job because it is the only one I can get right now and because I want to focus more on school.
You're at college/university and you have a job ..... this is applaudable ... it doesn't matter what your job is or if you like it .... that fact you have one while still being able to study says to me you are mature and dependable ... a plus in anyones book
So reword or delete

I REALLY need some advise...
Posted:
6/24/2009 8:58:52 AM
I'm not sure why you're not getting responses but will add my 2 cents about your profile
If I had to mention something negative about myself, it would be that I can come across too serious at first, even though I really am not uptight,
Delete or reword ... it is negative and people don't like to read negative things
I liked your pics ... they were interesting and varied. Maybe adding a close up pic of you smiling?
I liked your quotes too .... though would go for just the one ... three is a bit much. And as I liked them all it's hard to pick ... but the first one is good
Your profile isn't bad at all .... just get out there and send send send messages.
The 'no reply' is just part and parcel of online dating I'm afraid ... the read/delete is hell but there are more fish in the sea .... it's just trying to get them into your corner of the pond
Good Luck

hoping my profile doesn't make me sound fake.
Posted:
6/24/2009 8:44:03 AM
You should change your main pic .... I like all your pics actually
very nice! But you should really have a pic where you are smiling for your main one. If you don't have the time to take new ones and upload them then you should crop the 2nd last pic you have to show only you .... you look good in it and there's a smile there too
Right let me show you my assertive side .... first of all fixing your grammer/spelling isn't about being picky .... it just widens your pool size (more fish!) if you aren't great at the grammar/spelling copy your profile into a word document and all the errors are highlighted ... correct and past back into your profile ... easy!
LET ME BE CLEAR: I am NOT looking for a relationship. I just got out of 11 years worth of that. Looking for a new good freind for casual dates here and there.
Again this will cut down on the amount of interest you're going to get. You have picked dating ... so you're up for that casual or not so get rid of this as it's negative and will again narrow down who would contact you ... not many if it just means 'casual' dates!
Looking for a simple,low-maintence woman for no pressure fun.
What do you mean by 'fun' to me it reads looking for sex ... though you say here
I'm not here for just sex I can get that anywhere
You should be saying that in your profile if that's the case because the way your profile reads just now it is just sex that you're looking for
Yes, i am a model but i'm def NOT ur typical ego-fueled meathead. I'm a normal guy that works his day job 6 days a week like everybody else.
It's actually interesting you're a model but you've made it into something negative here ... reword it
Ok you're looking for a low maintance female ... what else would attract you to someone?
First Date
I'd delete everything you have and go with
Iwant to make the most of the free time I have and just need to escape sometimes for something refreshing. I like car shows, road trips, bbq's, amusement parks,rodeos... sound like something you'd like to do? Or beach all day, club all night or even a easy night of drinking wine and relaxing
These are all suggestions and you can accept them as freindly critique or ignore them
Good Luck in your fishing

You have humour and get across what you're looking for and what type of person you are! I think it's a really good profile!
Maybe next time you're out somewhere with freinds get them to take some pics for you to put on here ... some of your pics are a bit too 'samey' (not a real word I know
) get a bit of variation in there

You have a really good profile Mike .... but you need to get rid of some of your pics!
You're 27 but you're holding a toy giraffe as your main pic!! Get rid of that one and any that have you and another female in it .... either cut the females out of your pics or get up to date ones of you in different settings on your own ... and get a nice smiley shot for your main profile pic. The person viewing your profile is wanting to date you not your freinds!
I would add a bit about what attracts you to someone or what you are looking for eventually. We like to know these things
Good Luck

profile review pls.. appreciate the feedback
Posted:
6/24/2009 7:44:06 AM
Look at Mrwutziname's profile. It's one of the best profile's I have seen here.
First of all my own personal opinion is no that profile is definitely not the best profile!! Seriously don't copy it!
You're punctuation through your profile is bad ... have you actually read it over yourself? Lot's of ? instead of '
I am creative and spontaneous. Always up for a new adventure.
You need to bulk out your profile a little bit. What do you do that's creative? what types of adventures do you mean?
As previously adviced there are too many 'I's in your profile try and reword it a little
eg I'm kind, friendly, and understanding. If you need someone to lean on you'll find me strong and stable, patient, and a good listener.
Take out the 'stuff' in your interests box ... doesn't look good even though you have now added some interests
Get at least one more pic up ... preferably one where you can see your face ... a wee smile would be a bonus too

Weird Creative...poof?
Posted:

Well OP I recieved an email yesterday in the same vein as what you've written here
And it's way way too OTT .... if the guy had talked to me and found out I liked poetry ok (maybe!) but as a first contact email it was total superflous drivel and I couldn't be bothered 'working out' what he was meaning
Save it for fellow poetry/literature lovers

Looks
Posted:
6/23/2009 2:37:40 PM
Again it depends on your definition of what is good looking
What I find attractive my single gal pals would run a mile from ... and same goes with who they find attractive
I work with a guy who would be defined as 'very good looking' has the nice physique and clean cut good looks ... but even though he is a nice enough guy he is boooorring!!!!! Seriously you can't have a conversation with him ... so you wouldn't want to date him as you'd die of boredom within a couple of weeks
so looks aint everything unless you have the full package ie with a personality

Posted:
6/22/2009 2:30:25 PM
OP you're saying that woman who are carrying a few extra pounds are saying they're average body type!?
I can bet that the ladies know they should be picking the 'few extra pounds' button ... but feel they won't get as many guys checking their profile as maybe a lot of guys would be looking for 'average' ............. or maybe they are uncomfortable with their body image and admitting they've a few extra pounds by pressing a button makes it too real?
Personally I know I need to lose a couple of extra pounds ... but just had a knee op so it'll be when I'm back on my feet ... and I'm still the same person with or without those pounds.
And as a couple of posts say people have different views on what is skinny or average .... so it's a hard point to pin down

I liked your profile ... I think it is a bit long for some people ... but I'm a speed reader and I found it interesting
Your main pic is really really creepy ....you went to all that trouble with photoshop so why did you not just cut the female out of the pic!?
Would definitely change it!
The mention of your 'abnormally large libido' is a big eewwy ... too much info ... leave that to private messages

whats wrong with my profile?
Posted:
6/22/2009 5:31:21 AM
Ok going into teacher mode here ....... Spelling and grammer are horredous!...... if you're not a great speller copy paste your profile into a word document and it'll highlight all the errors! And it's college not collage
hi im 27, 5'7, blue eyes, light brown hair, slimish build (11 stone)
You already have this info on your profile so not needed
Beef up your profile a little more .... couple of examples on what type of music/movies you like.
You have stated you want to 'hang out' but have filled in the first date box. This will put woman off as you don't seem serious. If you want to 'meet' someone to see how it goes I would change to 'dating' then include a bit about what you're looking for in someone. You also have 'looking for fun' as your tag line .... big red flag to the ladies out there as it looks as if you're only looking to get together for sex ... I would change it
if you like the sound message me
looking forward to your message
Boring and lazy ... delete
Get more pics up ... I almost never bother reading someone's profile if they only have one pic
Hope this helps

Frank profile review request
Posted:
6/21/2009 5:57:11 PM
I'm just going to state the bits of your profile I wasn't sure about ... it's getting late and my eyes are getting 'scratchy' so the less typing I do the better I think
'Can you guess which British comedian looks like me?'
Erm no actually I can't ... and it's not a great opening line to your profile you want to grab the readers attention
'cooking (probably better than you),'
the reader could be a cordon bleu chef so a bit presumptious and comes across as arrogant so would reword or delete
'I'm witty and have a dry and smart sense of humor. I worship George Carlin's humor (you know him, right?).'
Erm again no I don't should I? Would delete the last part or reword eg 'I worship George Carlin's humor if you don't know who that is maybe that's something I could introduce you to?
'Thank you for visiting my profile and I wish you the best of luck in your search.'
Would delete the thank you sentence it's sounds like a sales person 'please visit again'

Can I Get an Honest Review?
Posted:
6/21/2009 5:39:20 PM
Oh, and this is honestly not meant to sound like I'm bragging or anything, but those pics of me are actually a bit old. Since those were taken I've lost a little over 40 lbs., just so you can get a more accurate picture in your head. Updated pics will be posted soon.
Congratulations on your weight loss ... but delete this bit and get new pics up!
Lose the Me: and Skills: headings they're not needed
- Making people laugh (or at the very least I'm good at trying to make people laugh) and laughing myself.
- Cooking, if all you want is a grilled cheese.
- Ruining white shirts...I don't know why I buy them anymore.
- Avoiding hangovers...Gatorade + Tylenol before bed = a not so horrible morning.
- Making snap judgments about people. Fair or not, I'm usually pretty good at knowing if I will or won't like someone before I even speak to them.
- Quoting my favorite movies or TV shows.
Lose the list and put the info into a short paragraph as it'll read better.
Add a little bit about what you're looking for in a partner and what type of traits attracts you to someone
Unfortunately some people just don't reply to messages but hopefully some of this helps

and i'm just too superficial.. don't really have much interest in girls that aren't gorgeous
Think that's your problem in a nutshell ..... I'm not sure how many 'gorgeous' ladies there are on POF in and around Edmonton but I bet there's not that many. Why don't you lower your standards a bit .... message someone who's only 'pretty' or 'cute' or even just 'average'
I'm sure you'd be pleasantly surprised
You don't really say what you like to do on your 6 days off ... it would be nice to know what you like to do to chill? Where would you like to travel to and would you like a travel companion? If so say that! You should also add a bit on what attracts you to someone ( apart from their looks!! lol)

I agree with eclecticromeo
The first most sexiest/attractive thing to me is a woman who is happy with herself. Try it, I bet it'll work out great. : )

My messages are always, as far as I can tell, friendly, polite, complimentary, and funny.
Maybe what's funny to you isn't really funny
so better to stick with polite and friendly. Complimentary is good but you have to make sure it's not OTT then it can be creepy especially in a first contact message
You're certainly not ugly so don't even go there! And not everyone rates Brad Pitt .... he certainly isn't in my top 10 to be honest
Yet none of you are even polite enough to respond, even if it were a simple, thanks but no thanks.
Not everyone has bad manners you've just been unlucky
You also can't go by any list - I could tell you all my preferences but they're mine .... everyone is different!

What do ladies prefer assuming a man is lean/muscular?

Well firstly you're subject is
What do ladies prefer assuming a man is lean/muscular?
For myself I like muscular .... bigger the better .... just trying to find him though. Defo think I'm on the wrong site!!
I also prefer men who have lots of chest hair ..... no hair is ok .... especially if it's been removed for competing reasons ... a small bit of hair gives me the heebie jeebies (no idea why I just think it's wrong!!)
Back/shoulder hair ... depends how bad it is but yeh I don't mind that either

Subject Lines in email

For me it doesn't really matter what the subject line is ...... more what the message is like
There is nothing worse than a message that's a boring 'hi there' .... if you catch someones interest with a good message have a good profile ... can be a make or break

Oohh shame on you for saying 'men are not capable of love'!!
Of course men are capable of love!
I put myself out there and took a risk,
You knew he was married and believed his lies .... well from what you're saying in your post they are lies. Also I think the fact he took a new job in Maine should have raised a big red flag too
You really knew the answer before you made the post ..... cut all ties, brush yourself off and go find yourself a single man who will give you all the love you need and deserve
Good Luck

Well I'm not a guy but your profile is a tad scary .... be a bit more upbeat and less negative and maybe you'll get more replies back (??)
But on this site people either reply to you or they don't. We've all had the read/delete to messages. I'm a confident person and send messages out to people all the time ... sometimes I get replies and sometime I don't .. I always try to reply back to people even if it's a rubbish message or they're not my type ... well ok I got a message today from someone saying they'd 'like to lick me all over' so it was a read/delete
And unfortunately people seem to think everyone is more interesting than they are so they 'fill' out their profile pretending to be/do something that's not true .... Your points can be asked about guys and ladies ...... it's life I'm afraid

Chubby chicks need love too! ;)

6/21/2009 8:13:32 AM
To be honest everyone has different tastes and they also have different view points on what is 'skinny' and what is 'chubby'
I'm personally not a fan of skinny or thin guys but it's skinny/thin to my eyes ... maybe just 'slim' in somebody else's. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't meet up with or date them if I liked them.
So saying that who cares if someone doesn't like you because you're 'chubby'!! Their loss if it's only a couple of pounds +/- that's putting them off you.
If you're healthy and happy with who you are people pick up on that ... and it's more attractive than if you're standing about being self conscious of a couple of pounds.

a little help here
Posted:
6/21/2009 7:29:39 AM
I liked your profile and your pics are good ... cute smile
I did notice -
I like to exercising,
Take out the 'to' or change exercising to exercise
You could maybe add what places or fav places you've visited?
Also add a bit about what attracts you to someone are they quirky, a gym fan etc
Good Luck

I think the quotes and the 'update' cologne info should go
If someone wants to know what you smell of they can ask you or wait till they meet you
The quotes are just sitting there not really doing anything apart from making your profile longer

Profile review... Ladies what do you think?
Posted:
6/21/2009 6:25:20 AM
I wold delete the paragraph headings 'My personality-' 'A little about me-' 'Who I'm looking for-' they're not needed
It's hard not to but a lot of your sentences/paragraphs start with 'I' try to reword them eg 'The kind of girls I like keep them....'
'Love to snowboard, ski .....'
I'm a third degree black belt. I have two 3rd's a 4th and a 7th place titles in world karate competitions. I have many first place national karate titles and have even been featured on a Russian magazine for competing with my sword.
I was in the Utah youth symphony for playing my trumpet.
I agree with Ron this info could make it seem like you're bragging ..... rewording would help prevent this eg 'Karate has been a big part of my life and I have achieved a high level in this sport. I also love music and played in a youth symphony playing trumpet '
I'm new to San Fransisco as well, so it would be fun to meet up with someone to go check out all sorts of things =)
This is good as you're inviting the person to share things with you
The rest of the info you have is good .... it's positive and lets the person see who you are and what it is you're looking for

Review plz.
Posted:
6/21/2009 5:58:05 AM
First of all you say
I am about to sign up to the Australian Regular Army after serving 3 years as a reservist.
Then you say
I am at the stage in my life where I've decided I want to settle down a little. I've travelled the world, and lived life to it's fullest. This does not mean I want to stop doing these things, I just want to slow down a little.
This is a contradiction even if you are saying you want to slow down a bit!
So if you do not wish to move anywhere, don't bother.
Well I'm sure a lot of ladies have thought 'ok I won't bother' you want to attract someone to your profile not push them away! Delete or reword
I am a genuine person, and am extremely open with how I feel and what my intentions are. Those who know anything of the landmark forum will know what I mean.
Erm no I don't know what you mean how about telling us rather than giving a veiled reference to something
Quality's:
Good sense of Humour
Charismatic
Compassionate
Authentic
Has Rhythm
Diciplined
Motivated
Confident
Romantic
Adventurous
Intelligent
Spontanious
Generous
Inspirational
Hygenic
Forgiving
Helpful
Etc...
Delete the list it's lazy!
I hope this does not appear egotistical, as these are the qualitys everybody has if given the opportunity to find them.
Delete if you word a paragraph about what you find attractive in someone rather than the list you don't need this .... then you won't appear egotistical!
You have spelling and grammer errors so if you're not sure what they are I would advice once you've reworked your profile (if you do) copy and paste onto a word document and this with allow you to correct any errors

Hi Steve
Well your reworking is good ....I liked your profile and you also have good pics .... your profile might seem a bit long for some people. You could maybe merge a couple of your smaller paragraphs together go make it seem shorter .... sounds strange but it's true (honestly
)
Good Luck

need help withprofile :)
Posted:
6/21/2009 5:20:20 AM
The information you have on your profile is fine............ you just need to break up into paragraphs .... you, what you're looking for, what interests you etc .....it makes easier reading.
You should check your grammer you have lower case 'i's when they should be upper case. Some people don't mind this but for others it can put them off your profile.
dont really know anyone from the soo just looking to meet new people and have fun while my son is with his dad.
The first part doesn't make sense don't know anyone from ???
Also I'd remove the word 'fun' it could get taken out of context I'd maybe say eg ' looking to meet new people who I can chill and relax with when my son is visiting his dad'
Hope some of this helps
Good Luck

Need a Woman's expert opinion...
Posted:
6/21/2009 5:08:00 AM
First of all I think your profile is far too long. You're going to have to shorten it a wee bit
I'm Matt from the UK, now living in Melbourne. Been happily single for a few years. But now I feel my life would be the richer for having a great woman to share it with. Somehow living just for myself has begun to feel a bit empty and purposeless.
This would be good to use to start off with
Would you feel more confident meeting a man knowing he's not attracted big boobs or women of a fair complexion?
Erm ok I know what you're trying to say here but do you really need to say it this way? Why not just say you have no preference on build/colour
Have you got slender hands?
Strange! Would delete
Not rolling in it, but not broke either.
Remove ... We only need to know you work not your financial situation
You seem an articulate guy so I'm sure you could put the important info you have in your profile just now into a couple of paragraphs. There's too much information .......... we want to know the real you but you don't need as much info to give us that picture. I would also get rid of the headings eg 'about me' 'work' 'hobbies' this makes it sound like a cv!
My bucket list includes:-
Travelling to China and Japan
Seeing the Grand Canyon and the West Coast of the USA
Visitng Cuba
Making a TV documentary series on world music
Conducting a symphony orchestra - (here's hoping)
Conducting a choir
Taking my sister's kids to Disney Land
Cooking for 500 people.
Well I think lists are a no no on profiles but again there's too much here you could say eg 'a couple of things I'd love to do in the future ......... and would love to share that with someone'
Good Luck

I want to know what the girls think

First of all get rid of pics that have you and any female in it. That puts people off right away ..... I'm sure you have lots of pics of yourself you can put on here if not get a pal to take some of you. A head shot of you smiling is good for your main pic too
You have a few spelling errors. I would copy and paste your profile info onto a word document .... this will show you the grammer and spelling errors.
Well im a super handsome and confidant guy
It's good you are confidant but ...... you could word this a bit better as it makes you sound arrogant to be honest
You should also add a paragraph about what it is that you find attractive in someone eg quirky sense of humour, sporty (to go to gym/do sport with you)
I've always thought a walk on the beach at night under the stars would be a romantic date, after a meal and/or drinks.
Be honest is this what you think a good date is? Or is what you think other people think is a good date? Have you ever took a date to 'walk on the beach at night under the stars?' Would you?
I personally think it's cheesy and when I read it on guys profiles I just think 'barf' (sorry

If you possess 6 out of the following 18 attributes you definitely will get a response if you email me!!!
I liked your profile and your pics are great!
Couple of things I noticed though
You have typed 'good' twice when saying you like good ocnversation

... has great hair
... has not so great hair but know how to rock it anyway
... finds me incredibly attractive (lol)
... has a job
... loves being goofy
... requires no reason to get naked and jump in the ocean like myself
... likes to travel
... likes motorcycles
... has the capability to be left alone if we travel to my families house for more than 3 minutes
... doesn't mind texting each other like little school kids all day long
... has any kind of special, freaky, weird, scray, talent that when you get drunk you show everybody

Maybe a small paragraph saying 'some of the things that would attract me to someone is ....' then add a couple of things from the above list.

Actually you sounded like my grade 12 english teacher that I never listen to, that explains all the grammar errors and spelling mistakes
Oh dear sorry .... I should maybe try and sound less strict 'do this, so that'
