jlaughlin0002 View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 1 Oct, 2010 12:05 AM I get virtually no mail. I am wondering if there is something that is a major turn off in my profile. Keep in mind that I am not going to remove anything that is the truth. Thanks everyone :waving: Post Reply
View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 1 Oct, 2010 06:55 PM Are you trying to say that she is not good looking babygirl :ROFL: Like I have said before, apperance gets a guy's attention, but her personality keeps his attention. Guys, in general, tend to have a hard time starting a conversation. It is a lot easier for us if we have something in common. Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 1 Oct, 2010 08:04 PM Honestly, it's easier to message a girl with an empty profile and some really good pictures than a profile that's short and generic. At least then I can make a joke about how she's obviously too busy influencing world leaders and saving orphans to be able to fill out a profile, or how her modeling shots turned out really well for being shot in the mirror in front of her sink on a camera phone. Joking about how bland someone's profile is will almost guaranteed come off as offensive. Post Reply

Girl, like the way we talkin' bout you like you ain't here? :laugh: I actually was implying that yall were a bit shallow, but was hopin' nobody caught it or called me out on it. :ROFL: I'm EXTREMELY surprised none of yall didn't say that though. Not gonna tell you how many times the guys here have 'suggested' that we women go thru all types of hoops to satisfy their desire to see our whole bodies under the guise of 'we just like a woman who is confident in herself'. Yeah right. Post Reply

SilverFire View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 11:18 AM You said: "f we can keep it one hundred, most guys are looking at the pictures as the main motivation as to whether they are interested in getting to know a woman further. She can have the greatest profile/personality/love football, drink beer and never say 'Can We Talk?' and her profile will never get read if she doesn't physically appeal. (buttaface) In fact, I will dare to say that a woman could have absolutely nothing written in her profile but if she is beautiful (whatever that means to you) she will be hundreds of favorites." Most guys look at the pics first, but that's not all we look at. It's stupid to think that you can have a relationship with someone who says nothing in her profile. In fact, that's one of the things I look for -- a well-written profile. If it's not textually interesting, I'm gone. And yes, I have passed up many women who looked good to me, but immediately became not worth pursuing because I couldn't tell that they had a brain. Post Reply
View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 11:42 AM In support of what babygirl said, it's worth noting that 2 more men have added me to their favourites in the few days since I wiped my profile clean. The only thing there now really IS pictures. And at the time they added me, there was only 1 actual picture of me! Post Reply
View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 12:09 PM Oh, and what I meant to say but totally spaced out is that I agree with everyone here really. Good profile tips =) But what babygirl said is so true to. Even a sparse or bad profile says something about a person and it takes away from truly expressing that when the person starts altering their profile, I think. Not that it's bad to alter your profile, but if you're not a wordy person, then it would not represent you accurately to be all wordy... Or, if you're not someone who is engaging, then your profile shouldn't be either. But it is worth looking at who you really are and making sure that your profile does represent that properly. FYI, I've discovered that guys really like bellydancing. I'm very casually learning to bellydance (which I should take up more seriously because it will help me in giving birth) and whenever I've had that in my profile, I've gotten A LOT of messages referring specifically to the bellydancing... So, if you happen to be a bellydancer, you should put that down :goofball: Post Reply
roeroe View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 06:24 PM I'm not going to hesitate going up against Silver, I totally do not agree. Girl, I read your profile and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it....I don't think you need to give over EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!! it's a profile, not a autobiography. I think your a smart attractive woman. How long have you been on the site? I don't know what your age settings are, but maybe the younger men are a little intimidated?? I think maybe just give it a little more time.....You have a precious daughter also....You'll do fine... May angels surround you and your daughter..... Post Reply
SilverFire View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 07:45 PM She said: "I'm not going to hesitate going up against Silver, I totally do not agree. Girl, I read your profile and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it...." You're barking up the wrong tree. This is not a contest; this is not a fight; this is not a battle. You win. Now, the profile has several grammar problems, and grammar problems automatically lead people to assume certain things, justified or not. All we know is that the person can't use English well or can't be bothered to do so. "I don't think you need to give over EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!! it's a profile, not a autobiography. I think your a smart attractive woman. How long have you been on the site?" No-one is asking that she write an autobiography, and I'm sure not. Autobiographies are typically in the 200+ page range. No-one would survive a profile that long. Generally, the more a person says about themselves, the more there is for a guy to respond to. It's not complicated. "I don't know what your age settings are, but maybe the younger men are a little intimidated??" *shaking head sadly* It's not intimidation. That is a common refrain that women tell themselves to avoid change even when change is the most obvious solution. In this case, change is even easy -- put more of yourself on your profile, because people look for common interests to spark up conversations. The evidence is in. The poster asked guys for their opinions, and several of us have said the same thing. Women have counseled her not to change a letter. We will see what happens next, but I do not think the profile will change. Post Reply
roeroe View Profile History	Okay let me have it Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 08:25 PM wow Silver, I am definitely not hear to fight. :boxing: ...I was just replying after Babygirl's reply in fun, that she was hesitating to answer silver, cause he was looking a little intimidating....that's all it was.. I just felt her profile was natural and honest and sincere...oops I guess that's a mistake...I wasn't looking at grammar.... And I don't believe everyone would like a longer profile, and autobiography just used as an analogy. I have looked at profiles that are paragraph after paragraph, and to me its a turn off...but that's just my opinion... I'm sorry you took me the wrong way...I'm not here to battle, or argue....I saw sincerity and heart as I read her profile and I just wanted to tell her.....But then again, I'm reading it as a woman.... Peace :rocknroll: God Bless! Post Reply
