Here's a tip for your online profile...

Post Reply New Topic

Tips aside, you can work on your online profile as much as you like, but you won't change into that person. If you're shallow and image-consious, it will show soon enough.

Depends on how strong your preference is.

If it would really bother you that the guy is short, then yes.

But if it wasn't of major importance to you, then no.

IMO, the ability to overlook things that aren't fatal flaws, yet don't fit your personal image of perfection, is crucial to finding happiness in a relationship.



Good point. Maybe putting "height/weight proportional" would work? Sounds a lot less exclusionary than "slender" -- a lot of women could read that as meaning "model-thin".

Either that, or you could simply not mention it, and then screen out women who are too heavy for you based on their photos. That seems the safer way, quite frankly.



Then you shouldn't put it in your ad, or anyone taller than you will be turned off! That's the point I've been trying to make.

A girl who used to work with me said that she thinks brunettes have nicer facial features.

Ya, I like Irish girls too!

Nice! The hair in this picture is the same shade as my ex-wife's hair. Sadly, it never reached this length, but at my request she managed to grow it halfway there. She must have liked the effect, because she's left it long, even though she hates me now.

Asain girls are hot. Don't mean to derail -- just a personal observation.

I had that same experience. I tried eharmony for six months, and every girl's descriptions that they wrote all said the same things -- to the point where the girls were indistinguishable from each other. Sheesh... Almost every girl's profile was a long string of cliché phrases about the kind of person she is, and the kind of man she wants.

But, my standards are such that it would be unlikely for me to be satisfied with a girl I met through a dating site. I mean, there are some special ones on there, but as girls are asked out a lot more than guys (on average), I don't know why a girl who's got a lot going for her would need to join a dating site -- they likely get asked out about once a week. Now, before I flamed, remember I said there are exceptions. I know, because I married one. I met my ex-wife on Yahoo Personals, back when they were free, and we were VERY compatible, indeed, but just too contentious together for it to work in the long run. So, I got a 2.5-year marriage from a Yahoo Personals ad. But it was VERY rocky/unstable.

red heads rule in many ways
I just like red hair-I mean its not over any other colours...
I just am raving about it right now

Same with me about Asian girls. I have no real preference for them above other girls.
