Hello! Thanks for replying. I'm a little confused by the way you worded this, but I think I get the jist of it. Although, are you saying I should take out what makes me weird or unconventional? I was trying to give people a truly honest idea of what I am like in the hopes that I might actually meet someone compatible. That kind of includes the weirdness!

I think you are probably right about the B&W photo, and you are not the only person to suggest that I should change it. I was thinking of just changing my photo periodically anyway. Thanks again for your criticism!

I'm not that kind of psych major! Plus, I don't think any psych undergrad should be going around analyzing anyone. That comes with the PhD! I don't intend to use my BA; I want to go on into health care.

Sadly, I think you are right about my not getting hits because I'm specific! It kind of goes against what I feel dating sites should be about, but you are correct! I don't mind weeding out the weirdos though. Thanks for the review!

stranger here...

just a glimpse can say that u love dogs. but there are too many of just them. may be pics with u in them along side them will help.

its too verbose. u say everything abt urself. leave something to be discovered. not every one has all the time to read it all. so highlight critical stuff some how or just delete stuff u really can do by sharing once contact is established.

personally, i would feel more comfortable if i had points to start a conversation... which means there are things i want to know abt ... rather than everything being out in the open.

just my perspective..... u dont have to agree with it though!

Yes that picture is awesome! Not that the black and white one is terrible but its not the best to lure people in.

the pic of you smileing is very nice. and your few paragraps of info on you seem alot like a rambling but rambling is definetly fun. so if you like thenyou shouldn't have to change it for anybody. besides the picture change being a total plus. so dont count that in the total not changing thing.

Thank you for taking the time to reply You are absolutely right about my profile needing pics of me and the dogs, rather than just the dogs. Unfortunately, I don't have any at the moment. I also like the photos, and a person that I would be interested in would ideally also like the photos. Think of them as a screening test!

I do disagree that my profile is too wordy however. I wouldn't be interested in someone that couldn't take the time to read the whole thing, or someone that wouldn't be interested in doing so. It is a small cross-section of who I am and, trust me, there is a lot more than that to learn about me!

Thanks again!

Thanks! I decided to take your advice (and the advice of a few others!) .

Let me just say here, as a pseudo-unbiased observer, that there is no such thing as a profile that's too long.

Information is better than no information.

Now, of course, someone will create a profile that says "I don't know what to write here" sixty billion times, but THAT does not count.

Agreed. It's impossible to post a profile that will tell everyone all they could ever learn about you, and I'd rather be able to look at a profile and think, "This is a person I would like to know," or, "This person is not someone I'm interested in".

Although, I suppose that it's pretty easy to do the second part...*click* No. *click* No. *click* No. *sigh*



You would have to wonder if the person was being ironic, or stupid. It is possible to be both.
