the forum is called "rate my profile"

i dont mind rating someone's profile and pictures together.

i just hate seeing people fishing for compliments and posting topics for people to JUST vote on their picture.


I agree 100%. Can't stand it. They are just looking for validation. I call them "attention whores" (male or female). :angry:

Remove the word "repeated" from third sentence.

Remove the phrase "as recommended" from last paragraph.

Add one photo of you smiling and showing your pearly whites.

I would suggest removing the few sentences about you lining up dates. If you are here for friends, leave it at that. I know your intention isn't to sound cocky, but someone who "lines up dates" sounds like a player.

Best set of photos I've seen that gives a nice view of who you are. Kudos!


My two cents.

Remove the last two paragraphs. You're coming across WAY to strong. You can get into those specifics IF and when you start getting to know someone on this site.

FYI, men do not want to read profiles that have phrases like "step off", "get lost", "keeping moving", "get over it", etc. It is a HUGE turn off.

Nothing wrong with being a confident person but you need to present it in a different light.

First paragraph is decent.

My advice is to have a paragraph about you and who you are. What kind of music, sports and movies? What do you like to write?

Your main profile photo should have you smiling. Men love to see a woman's eyes and her smile. Add a few other photos as well.

My two cents.

:smile: How would you handle being in a relationship with someone who has depression problems?:smile:


Have them look into getting help. Something like this causes serious strain on a relationship and for some, it is too much for them to handle.

I think that is a really good topic for discussion. It is one of the reasons I now believe in friendship first. I think I am now going through one of the slowest relationships on record. I think it has evolved almost to the point of activity partner. It is as if she wants to go do something or if she wants to answer the phone. It is as if I really loved myself would I put myself through so much torture? Is this like some kind of karma thing going on where I am making up for something I did in the past or some former reincarnation? Or is it like I have exhausted the point of how far this relationship can actually go? I wonder if I am even being a friend to myself by letting it continue. It really doesn't feel like any kind of natural relationship I have ever had. I am being to wonder if there are unnatural relationships.


Rainbowtrout,
Have you made her aware that you want the relationship to go to another level? Does she know you are attracted to her in that way? If it is going this slow, you need to have a heart to heart talk with her.

k well-ive always been proud to not lie about my looks or personality. its hard and shameful-but i know i can be more moody than 50 women on menapause! ive been to therapy. but i know i have to do it within myself for myself. im scared and weak and shy it effect any interest i might have on a guy



Yes, it will affect any interest a guy has and to be blunt it isn't fair to any guy you date. You have issues that you need to work on first before putting yourself out there. Your happiness should never depend on being with a certain person. What if they leave? Will you no longer be a happy person?

If you have been to therapy, I would look into getting a diagnosis and see if medication will help. You have some work ahead of you.

im not sure if this goes here or has been discussed,but you know how ppl say in order to care for someone-you must care for yourself first?! how do you do that if you're weak and been scared and can't...i dont know-ashamed:cry: care for yourself? tears <btw-this is hard for me to put out there in public-on the real>


I would look into getting professional help if you think you are hitting rock bottom. The fact that you are reaching out means you recognize your problem and you want to do something about it. Are these current feelings based on a recent break up or has this been going on for years?

I am saying this because I have been there. It has been a long road but well worth the travel.

Just wait until I upgrade to a nicer towel.



Be careful. You start wearing a fine Egyptian cotton towel and you will be fighting them off. shades

From a guy's perspective, I think it's pretty darn funny. Got me laughing. I think that's why you are getting responses.

I say, if it continues to work, leave it. At some point you will be asked for a real photo by a woman, so be prepared to give it to her...the photo, that is. shades

I'd give that pic a 7.

Suggestions:
1. You have a ton of "I don't like" statements. Nothing wrong with a few but you need to either rephrase it or cut down on the number.
2. Do some proof reading. You have run-on sentences and spelling errors.

I'm going to say this but don't let it go straight to your head. For someone who is 21, you have your **** together based on your profile. Work on polishing it up and you aren't going to have any problems getting responses.

I had my old boss tell me this while I was working at my first dog kennel.

Pic:4
Profile:6


Suggestions:

1. change the word counties to countries...unless your world traveling has led you to the great unknown in other counties within Pennsylvania. shades
2. Throw up another pic or two with you smiling.
3. Go into detail about what type of movies and sports you like.
4. If you are only looking for women to be friends with, you need to change your title as it says, "Looking for women for dating." I bring this up because your second sentence says "I am not really looking for my next lover."

My two cents.

Look's have nothing to do with anything. It's all in the personality. If your interest's start there, you have much more to work with.


sick huh sick

We aren't talking friendship but relationship. There has to be some level of physical attraction, in my opinion.

I will agree with you that personality plays a huge role but I challenge you to get all hot and bothered while in bed with the Elephant Man.

You need to revamp your profile. I would point out all the spelling errors but I'd have to rewrite the entire thing. shades

Remove the pic with you holding the knife and giving the finger. You look like you are preparing for a Columbine assault.

Remove the two pics that have reversed exposure. The "look of death" isn't in this year.

Remove the word f*cking when talking about the butterflies.

Remove the last sentence.

Remove "get over that."

You know what? Trash that profile and start fresh.

Describe yourself, your hobbies, passions, etc.

Describe what you are looking for.

Normally that's my two cents but this time it's a whole damn dollar. shades

I am looking for someone who is understanding, intelligent, ethical, widely read, and fun loving. To me these seem like such reasonable requests, but I do not seem to be having any luck at all.


If you are looking for a profile rating, which I assume you are seeing that you are posting in this section, then I'll give you an honest one from my perspective.

One: Remove your full name from the profile for safety reasons.

Two: Remove that entire newsletter you posted and start again. I read it and it had me running the other direction. While I can sympathize with ex-cult members, that isn't the first thing I want to know about someone.

Profiles should entice people to want to know more about you, not scare the living **** out of you. While you may have all the wonderful qualities you stated above, I felt like I was reading a horror novel from your profile.

I'm glad you are recovering and good luck.

I love technology. bigsmile



So do I. Isn't it amazing how fast things have changed? I can remember when the internet went public. My, how that has changed our lives. It has made the world so much smaller.

There are stock photos sites where you can post your photos and when people purchase the rights to use it, you get paid. You need to put up a bunch of photos on various sites, but if you are good, it could be a nice way to earn extra income.

I think we create our own hell & heaven.


I agree. It's all a matter of perspective and mindset.

If you go with the concept of God being present in all things, then we are God. There is no separation.

what do u think? are you expecting that a woman would come to talk to you 1st. I don't like that idea still, I feel like I m still a little bit old fashion.


If you are talking about this website, then it should go both ways. If I read a woman's profile and something in it interests me, we have something in common, or she comes across as being good-natured, then I will send an email.

If a woman looks at my profile but doesn't send an email, then my assumption is she is not interested. I will read her profile out of curiosity but almost all of time we have nothing in common anyways.

If there is someone's profile that you read and it strikes you as someone you would be interested in, email them. The worst that could happen is they don't email back. No biggie. All of us have gone through that before.

If you are already in dating mode, being honest but tactful is the way to go...or have them start picking up the check for every meal. That should help end it within 2 or 3 dates. shades
