Well, you are certainly handsome. I would add a little more about yourself....what you like, what kind of girl you are looking for, etc....
Good luck in your search and welcome to the Mingle family. flowerforyou

Well, the pics and headline are good. But you need to delete the whole bio (which isn't much) and start over. Don't mention a divorce first thing. Don't say you're moving slowly. That's gonna make it seem like you're not really ready to start dating yet.

You can mention the divorce if you want, but we can all see that in the bottom under marital status anyway. There are better things to talk about, such as your stepson, or better yet - yourself. You have little to nothing about yourself there so far.

And last but not least, don't even mention drama. None of us want it; that's obvious. Not like some lady is gonna look at your profile and think, "Oh he looks nice! But damn, too bad I'm a head-case drama queen."

You're a nice looking guy in a totally non gay way. But your profile FAILS. If you get your bio up to passing, I think you'll do well here. Sorry if I come off as an A-hole. Welcome to Mingle. Have fun.

Hey thanks for the advice I see what you mean it was pretty pathetic. If you get a chance see if this one sounds better.

Much much better, which brings it up to average, which still ain't that great, but still alright, but won't get you any extra attention over your competition.

My suggestions for the bio section are as follows: Omit the love life sentence - kinda funny, but no so much. It may be easily misinterpreted. There is only one thing missing. Could it be you? Make it two sentences, just like that. And say a bit about what you're looking for in your mate. And other than that, just elaborate on yourself some more. The longer the better, but don't give away everything. If you want suggestions and ideas, go look at some other dudes' profiles. It won't show up in their 'Viewed Me' list so you don't have to worry about wrong impressions. Check out the competition.

Suggestions for the pictures: First of all throw in some variety. Take some pictures in locations other than right in front of your bedroom door. Wear some different clothes. Do some different poses. Variety is the spice of life. And get rid of the shirtless pic. Sure you've got muscles and want to show 'em off. You have a body that would make the ladies drool, but they're not really fans of shirtless pics. We can see you're pretty stacked even through the white tee.

And my last advice is to get involved in the forums. The more you post and put yourself out there, the more response you will get. It does take a minute for some of the ladies to start coming around, you know, longer than 20 posts, but I guarantee they will eventually.

Soooo, glad you took my advice to the heart, or whatever, instead of telling me to F off. And I still wish you success and all that good stuff. Hope to continue to see you around. Shake it easy.
