Admin	Profile review. Can't believe I'm doing this! =/ Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 05:29 PM I've had several different versions of my profile in the year+ that I've been on here. I've always gotten a lot of messages and winks, but they're almost always from men who aren't even remotely what I'm looking for (there are a couple of exceptions). I feel like I'm representing my personality and my desires accurately, so I'm not sure what I'm saying (or not saying) that is leading all of these men to think that we're compatible. And why are the men who are compatible (they must be out there, right?) not messaging me? HELP! My biological clock is ticking!! Post Reply

Can't believe I'm doing this! =/ Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 07:33 PM Pixy, Since you so graciously critiqued mine profile I thought I would return the favor. :) I noticed a few things: You have a lot of information there. I didn't read threw it out, but some guys will. I would recommend shortening it up about 2 paragraphs. It is a lot to read and a guy would probably get distracted by all the info there. I would focus on some of the most important things that matter to you. Maybe a picture change up? I don't think it's needed, but it never hurts to change things up. Last note I have would to remove the kiss part from the dating section. Some guys may get the wrong idea about you and usually that would be something that you discuss later on in conversation. Those are my thoughts. :P Hope I helped. :) Post Reply

Gourd00 View Profile History	Profile review. Can't believe I'm doing this! =/ Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 08:13 PM From what I saw: Get rid of bellydancing under your interests. Unwholesome guys will see that and think "she can bellydance for me anyday!" and then they will proceed to message you because your profile turned them on. Second, I agree with what someone else said about shortening up your profile a bit. People can find out more about you, or the explanation behind your beliefs, by messaging you; and when people see a book, they may choose to not bother reading it. Thirdly, put a restriction on the age of people who can message you if you are serious about meeting someone, or simply don't reply to messages from guys who are interested in you and not in your age range or are clearly unwholesome.

IaoKim View Profile History	Profile review. Can't believe I'm doing this! =/ Posted : 7 Apr, 2011 06:11 PM I read through your profile and I think it sounds great. The length is a little long for some guys attention spans especially in the age of the net which seems to destroy people's abilities to focus. :rolleyes: It is hard to find that right balance between too little and too much. If you find it hard to cut from your profile you could try adding bold sub-headings within your "about me" section so the paragraphs in your profile will stand out more and make it more readable. The only other thing I would suggest is to edit the paragraph where you mention what you want in a guy. In the beginning you start off with several "he must . . ." sentences and it can come off as a list of demands, which can scare guys off. Nothing wrong with knowing what you want or need in a man especially when coming from a biblical perspective but saying it in the right tone can go a long way! :) Post Reply

Firehawk View Profile History	Profile review. Can't believe I'm doing this! =/ Posted : 7 Apr, 2011 08:30 PM Hey Pixy, Here are a couple things I would consider changing: 1. I agree with removing belly dancing from your interest. I am sure you got some interesting messages due to that comment :). 2. Maybe remove the comment on requesting full body shots. I am sure you'll share with your match at some future point. 3. I do like that you have good quality pics, but they are all very similar POVs and perhaps a little too close. A couple of the pics give a hit that you have pretty hair, but it is hard to tell. The last pic does show a little personality, which is good. Anyways, I do like the part about Mars Hill and Driscoll. I am somewhat addicted to his sermons. So there's my 2 cents, whatever that's worth. Post Reply

I would have to agree that your about me is a bit long. And why you're attracting certains types of men is beyond me. Hope you find what you're looking for! Post Reply
