Since it seems to be all the rage on this forum nowadays, I thought I'd see if anyone would be willing to critique my dating site profile. I think it looks decent for the most part, but a second set of eyes can never hurt. I was actually getting a pretty good amount of responses for a while, but lately they've tapered off to pretty much nothing lol. The main things I'm not sure about are the pictures, in particular the first one (I think it's one of the better pictures of my face but not in a very good setting), and whether or not I should try to put more joking/funny language in it. I'm still pretty hesitant to post it up here publicly (even a bit hesitant to do it privately lol), so if you would be interested in helping out either reply or send me a PM, and I can PM a link to it. And obviously if a few women would be willing to help that'd be great, since it's y'all that I'm trying to impress on that site lol. Thanks!

Also I don't really want to spread it around too much, so if you offer to help and I don't PM you please don't feel bad...your offer is still greatly appreciated! I'm much more apt to send it to people that I regularly see posting.

Stargazer43,

I do not understand your logic. You want people to critque your profile without actually posting a link to it! That seems rather odd.

I can understand being shy and not wanting all and sundry to see your profile (I'd feel the same way) but in that case why try and get feedback from strangers at all?

Go on! Be brave! Post your link here! :bounce:

Well you said it yourself, I just don't want everyone and their mother on this site to be able to see it freely, I'm more comfortable just sending the link to a handful of people who would be willing to help rather than the entire forum. I was actually pretty hesitant to even make this post but I figured what the heck. I just always try to keep a distinct separation between online and real-life things, and this kind of blurs the line a bit more than I'm usually comfortable with lol.

What site is it on? If it's OkC, I've got a tip for getting more hits. Update something in the main text. It then appears in people's homepages and they'll click on your profile and maybe send you a message. I've got a part of my profile that is always kept current, so whenever I want to get more people to check me out, I update this part. Works really well :)

You can send me the link if you like, if it's OkC.

how many guys are you trying to bait? Generally, just put up some pictures or something to get the most bites or something. idk, i say if you get one good one, stick with him til it goes somewhere or doesn't, give it a year and give it all you have like you would any project you want to develop greatly and just don't compare yourself to the famous women who have millions of admirers. you don't want those types of guys anyways I guess, i mean who would right? so focus on what you love in yourself and find a mate that is compatible that challenges you and brings out your best. Good luck. Pray too, because luck is a wild card.

when i was 7 years old i wrote a story something like this:

There once lived a parrot who lived in a cage in a store and so wanted to find a home. He looked forward to the times when customers came to pick out birds. When they came he'd flap his wings and dance around to make them see how wonderful he was. One day a little girl came by who he really liked and so wanted to have her as a companion, but when she saw him flap around she thought he was too hyper.

The girl selected a more mellow bird and so he was sullen and thought badly of himself. Wanting to change and thinking it would be better to be different, he determined that the next one who came along, he would be more mellow like his fellow mate who got bought. A nice young man came by who seemed so keen on birds, he wanted to make a good impression so he acted so cool and mellow but the man knowing better about birds saw his personality as dull and passed him by.

The parrot now downcasted gave up and vowed never to hope again and being grateful for his lot in life went about his day normally. Another little girl came in with her dad and watched the birds from afar. She noticed how this one parrot ate, chirped, flapped and preened the others, she thought he was special for some reason so asked her dad to buy him which he did. Surprised, the parrot was put into a box and traveled home with her and when he got to her house, he was grateful and they became the best of friends.

No that wasn't me, I never posted about either of those things lol (and I'm 6' even). And I appreciate everyone's input, it has been helpful!

you are a 6'4 guy and on a dating site? drools

you can look like frankenstien and should be able to get a date still if you're that tall, why are you online looking for females? Sounds like a troll.

that's like me saying i'm a 36DD with a 36 inch waist and can't get a date. makes no sense

oh, well it makes sense now that i think about it but still, aren't you a guy? don't you have infantile guy needs? isn't it easier for you people? lol, so racist, lol

In that case, you might as well copy & paste a message and PM it to those people you want feedback from - you'll get a faster/better response, too.
