What are women really looking for?
Posted: 4/23/2009 10:15:37 PM
So surprised to see the cynicism among all you men. I know we (women) are complicated, but that is a two way street. The bottom line is that we are all just trying to find some happiness. Everyone has a different idea of what that encompasses. Whether we admit it or not we all kinda have our own internal check list of what works for us. Therefore no one here can define what you should focus on. Just be yourself and hope that you find the woman that is your complement.

If you aren't getting responses to your emails, it may have a lot to do with what they say. I would definitely check the spelling and grammar and make sure you are not too assertive. Humor is something you need to be cautious of....it can come off as obnoxious sometimes.

Just keep throwing that line out there....eventually someone will bite!

Would you meet someone like this in person?

I suppose you need to go with your gut. Did the reasons just seem to be excuses or did they seem legitimate? If he is still calling, he must have some interest. I am an optimist, and try to see the upside of things. You will know the situation better if you meet.....what do you have to lose?

Ok maybe you are just not reading things. The cause of what???? I didn't say I was having problems. I didn't even say I wasn't getting replies....I do. I just asked for a review of my profile. I mentioned up front that I realize I don't show a photo, hoping to avoid that being everyone's response. I am really just interested in how my written communication comes across. Again WTB I appreciate your time, but think you are going to just have to allow me to do as I choose here , maybe without judgment. I really don't need to get over anything. I am not whining or complaining about a thing.
Thanks again.

Thanks MrRight!
I am glad you noticed the private images. They are there and I am willing to send. Maybe I should include that more clearly within the profile. Like I said I am fine with initiating contact and usually include a couple of photos with that first email.
Having something to hide is not an issue, but I do understand other people thinking that....we don't all like surprises, even if they are pleasant ones!

Yay, look at me.

Whew....I was really glad to get past the diatribe regarding the definition of "nemesis!" It was a little childish. The point was made. One woman's opinion. I wouldn't worry about it.

If it seems a bit odd but you like it, fine. If you get enough commentary on it consult a thesauras, maybe "worthy adversary" or "intellectual challenger" Okay enough of that!

Good profile, kinda quirky, but personally I like that. It may be lost on someone less witty, which may not be a bad thing.

I would get rid of the pic that has the girl kissing your cheek. You are trying to attract women, not have them envision you with another girl.

The stuff about camera angle is a little lengthy and clearly odd (which I think you intended) you need to either pull it together so girls get it, or omit it.

Best of luck

Thanks WTB.
I was really hoping for something more thought out and not stating the exact thing that I already addressed. I do appreciate your time.

Hey there fellow fish! L
Looking for some input here. Mostly from you guys, but open to all. I know the easy comment is that I should post a pic.......I know I know!! I am okay with making the first contact and sending a pic I just don't want to put it on display publicly. If you can get past that and give me an honest critique....hopefully with thoughtfulness, I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks for the help!
