Okay, I've seen this done, at least guys have asked for profile reviews in Ask A Girl. Think one of you could give me one? Please be brutally honest if necessary. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.



Thank you,

God bless

Rachel

You might get better results if you talk a little bit about why you like certain things instead of just listing what you like. Also, delete the sentences about not liking writing profiles and being more comfortable on the phone. It may be how you feel, but it's not really good for a profile. Other than that, I don't really see any problems with the profile itself. Maybe try a different default picture (the last one would probably work well) or switch in some newer, more different pictures. Everything you've got right now is essentially a headshot.

Thank you, Tulip. Good advice, and I'll get right to work on that.

I agree with Tulip and maybe personal paragraph about yourself with longer sentences. :P

It looks fine to me, Rachel. What's the reason you feel like you're doing something wrong?

I just wasn't having much luck, Chevy, haha.

I was thinking about leaving the site for a little, and give it some time, thinking I just wasn't talking to the right guys.

I really like everyone here on the forums a lot, I just am not doing good in the 'dating' area. So I wanted to see if the Christian men had any good advice for me.

But thank you a lot, and thanks Nathan for the input.

I see you are fishing for a mate, and doing a fine job of it. For me you wouldn't even have to bait the hook, I'd put the hook in my mouth and tie a half hitch around my waist with the line. However I know you would say 'poor guy, this one's old, I think I'll practice catch and release.' So you would throw me back, then I would swim deep, turn and head for the surface picking up speed, gallantly breaking the surface of the water with gravity defying grace and landing at your feet. At which point you would say 'dumb fish, get out of here' grab me by the tail and knock my head against the side of the boat and throw me back in.

Btw, the pic on the far right is my favorite.

Rachel,

In your profile, you might try directing people to read through your past posts - that's where someone who's thoughtful is likely to get a better feel for who you are.

Don't get frustrated! I've been on here for probably over a year, and I rarely messaged girls, rarely got messages, and actually rarely even did a search to see if anybody new had joined. I just hung out on the forums and had fun. One of the girls I had messaged a while back facebook chatted me out of the blue recently though, and we've been talking pretty seriously ever since.



You just never know with these things. One guy could pop up out of nowhere and you two end up happily ever after.

I agree with Tulip's first post. Talk a little more about your interests, and maybe a little more about what you're looking for in a man (if applicable). And definitely remove the part about hating online profile writing and preferring to talk on the phone. That would get creepers/scammers asking for your phone number, and you probably wouldn't want to give your number out without getting to know someone online first.

Rachel,



I agree with Tulip. Don't let it get to you. When I first came on here I was looking for a date. Recent events a couple of months ago caused me to just want to "date" again, but I realized I was getting a tad frustrated by not finding someone to date and so I decided I was going to just take it easy with dating on here, focus on God, post on the forums, and truly it doesn't bother anymore that I haven't found anyone yet. Just trust and focus on God and you'll be ok.



Also, mydreamtime33 makes a good point of directing attention to your forum posts. I think it gives people a chance to see who you are and what your personality is like.
