I see. Okay. Thank you Soufie. :)

Just wondering if there is a way to adjust my settings for people who view my page to closer than South Africa? lol

Actually, ideally, it would be most excellent if it were no farther than 40 miles from where I live, if that is at all possible.

If I become a premium member? Does that help to get more views in the local area?

If so, ...I will most happily upgrade immediately. :D

Thank you. :)

Thank you Soufie. As I re-call, you are the one who helped me with the pictures. I really appreciate your guidence. This is a really great site. Pretty spectacular, in fact.

Wow, Fleta. That is like ...Autumn fireworks! :))

Hats off to you dear lady for helping me the way that you did. It was you ...who made all the difference in the content. :)

I can see that ...even if I don't meet the woman of my dreams (lol) I might at least meet some nice people to socialize with from time to time. And that is far more than I have right now.

I work a lot. Fast paced and impersonal. Been that way for over 20 years. I think am ready to slow down now ...and try a little taste of ....life.

Thank you for being there.

Finally made it through the profile rating forum test.

So, ...now it's time to try and make it through the new members welcome area test. :))

Hello everybody. I am new to this whole online dating thing. I have no idea what I'm doing, so, I guess I'm a little bit nervous.

Only made it this far because of the help that I have recieved from some very kind and caring individuals out there who were thoughtful enough to take time out of their busy day to guide me through some of the ins and outs of the site.

I want to say thank you to all who have helped me with my profile. I can not thank you enough. And I am highly looking forward to the possibility of making some new friends.


Thank you everybody. :)

Thank you Zippy. I just needed to see the consensus in order to get it figured out. :)

Thank you Jesusprincessmt. I really appreciate your support. I rarely ever ask for advice unless I fully intend to take all opinions under serious consideration.

This is really hard for me. I've been off the market for .....oh,......20 years.

I will try to peek in on the forums from time to time. I truly appreciate everyone's help. You are all very kind. And I hope that you all find the love that you truly deserve. :)

Okay. Now I am ...blushing. lol

lol

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!


NOW .............wanna fool around? :D

Just kidding. lol


Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate your kindness and wisdom. :)

Okay. Chipping away. lol

Taaa daaaaaa! How's that? :D

I'm new to this, ...so there is a lot that I do not know.

That's why I need help.

I think I may have come up with a comparable solution.

In all seriousness, ...I hope this is better.

It's just temporary.

I'm ....lost.

I like nice. Nice is ...nice. lol

For a minute. Until I can figure out ...what I'm doing.

Okay. THERE! All fixed up. :))

Now it's ..."nice". lol

:)

No, your opinion does mean something.

I'm just ...not very good at this stuff.

I am actually now considering scapping the whole thing and just ...tossing up some ....one liner.

I know. I take a lot of risks on my job. It's all a crapshoot, really.

When I recieve a reply, ...even though my profile is full, the person on the other end still wants me to write more about myself. But, they do not ask about anything in specific, and, so, I don't know what to say.

Then, they, themselves, don't take the time to say much about themselves at all. Which makes me feel like I have to pump the information and chase the dialog, which gets to be really awkward really fast. Because, ...I don't know what questions to ask. lol :/

In the end, I always walk away feeling as if I just went through a fruitless one sided interview.

I just think the more content there is, ...the more opportunity there is to find something to strike up a conversation about. So, there's that.

And, ...I just can't afford to make any more "mistakes" when it comes to ....matters of the heart.

Thank you. I get that. I take everyone's opinion very seriously. I guess I just like a short story once in a while. It helps to know what you're getting yourself into. But, that's just me.

Okay, so, I've been searching some profiles. And I have to be honest, most of them really do not tell much at all. Only vague generalties. Maybe I really am different, because I feel very uncomfortable with initiating conversation with somebody I know nothing about. I'm just not that brave. I am actually wishing that people would write more. Pictures are important, of course, but, without any sort of verbal compass, there is no substance to blaze a trail with accept appearence. Which to me, seems ...a bit shallow.

I guess I find it strange that people will pick up a fiction novel and read the entire thing cover to cover if they find the dialog to be relevant in some small way. But when it comes to "dating" and finding a "partner" in REAL LIFE lol nobody wants to read or write more than 3 or 4 lines.

I find this to be perplexing.

And, maybe even ...a little bit discouraging. I can already see that I'm not going to be very good at ....pretty much any of this. :/

Hello. I appreciate your thoughts. Although I am not seeing where I have repeated myself, at least, not in my profile, anyway, ...I do recognoze that I still need to cut it back a little. I'm just not sure what to take out next. Thank you for helping me. I work a lot so don't know how much time I can spend in the forums, ...but it is a wonderful place, and I am hoping to visit more often. :)

I really don't have any writing skills per say. I'm just really paranoid and meticulous about wanting to make the right impression by describing myself as accurately as I can.

And, I use spellcheck a lot. lol

Well, thank you. I went ahead and took care of ...some of that. :)

Oh, ...I'm never bored. Usually, ...I am behind in my work. Always trying to catch up.

Don't really know what to tell you without being asked something in specific.

Came out of the streets. Went to tech school. Taught myself how to play guitar. Although, I work so much I don't have much time to play anymore.

Time is flying by and I am becoming seriously lonely and wanting to find a good match.

Life has been brutal. And I am just wanting to mean ...something to ....somebody.

I just ...don't want to be alone anymore. It isn't ....healthy. Nor satisfying.

Hoping to find someone to care about.

Someone to care about me.

Thank you Zippy. I'm not sure I could make it much more accurate at this point. I think I'm just about as close as I'm going to get. lol
