I don't get even visitors to look at me. It's a bit strange since I am active on some of the forums.

Would you answer an ad like mine? Nobody to date did. On the day I joined this site within a week I wrote to all women whom I liked, and who were in my price range, age group and area. Nobody even said "boo" in return.

I may be overestimating the humour quotient, and people take me seriously when I say I want to date a blonde, and have others on the side. It's a huge joke for me, but may be taken at face value by others.

And the fact I say very little else may be working against me, too.

What about a picture? Does it really make that much difference? I am not as ugly as I say it in there, but at that point I set myself up for failure for some well known reasons, so I downgraded everything about myself. (Reasons: "It's easier to be a success at failure than to be a failure at success", etc.)

I may be overplaying the reverse psychology there.

Please tell me what you think and tell me how to improve my lot in life.

Well..women looking at your profile, and not knowing your sense of humor, are going to find the way you wrote that statement a bit " off putting " to say the least.

If you want to have something like that line open up your profile, ESPECIALLY if you aren't going to have pictures on it, you are going to have to go more in depth and let them know that you were joking.

Good gravy.

If you don't even take the time to write a sincere profile, who will take the time to write you back?

If you want to be on a social/dating site to date, participate in the process. Post a phonto and write a real profile. I took one look at what you wrote and honestly? It irritated me. You write for the reader. I thought, oh great, he didn't even care to write anything about himself, just this over the top drivel that is not funny in any sort of way out of context.

Lazy much?

Ummm...yah.

Lilith just said what I meant to say. Only she's a woman, so she said it a lot better than I could have. LMAO

Hiya JAG!

thanks....

I'm speechless and that is rare..

You sound scary to me. I have a fairly good sense of humor but your profile is over the top.

OK,,your in need of some professional help....OR

Your writing is very off color to mainstream humor, OR

With so little written about your self, and no answer on most of your personal details, Your here for a short time to see if WE LIKE YOUR SENSE of humor? as that would be why you wanted to DRAW our attentions to it in THIS THREAD,,and THIS is a test to SEE if you want to or not...

The part about your aunt being dead, and blaw blaw,,,

IF THIS, was wrtten to be cute,,its not in my tastes,
If she kept you had for forty years ,,,,you need help...

If your here to PLAY,,cool,,go for it and your profile,,STILL needs more to even find it a small grin...

IF your wanting to be REAL with finding a lady here,,,YOU REALLY need for THEM,,to KNOW YOUR JOKING.....

Like you said here above,,a lady in your price range,,,,,,WTF??
Thats how MANY would see that..

And SAD humor,,is in fact a STATEMENT about who uses it and finds certain contents as funny...


This is MY VIEWS on this,,but please,,take many others...

Sorry,,,but YOU DID ASK US!!

Lame.

Thanks, guys! And ladies.

I'm taking in your advice, and of course I never knew I would be scary or making people angry with this.

Of course it is not clear how easily people get scared or angry.

All in all, I see your points, read them all, and I appreciate your candid offer for improvement.

Add some pics, be a little more serious, explain your interests rather than just put a list up. Try again Rome was not built in a day.

I updated my profile, tried to stay sincere. Maybe too much info in there now. I took the photo myself. It's not me it shows but it's a pretty photo of the Toronto skyline.

If you ladies and guys feel like being up to it, I invite you to update your opinions here in this thread.

Your's is ratty minz is bummy

Post removed.

Just a couple of things here, folks, the "rate my profile" section is for advice/constructive criticism.

When asking your profile rated, please expect constructive criticism. That said, the word "constructive" means just that.

This is not a platform for ripping members apart. Attacking/insulting others is not allowed.

Please see the rules posted for this particular forum, also to run concurrent with the general forum rules.

Thank you,

Mark

It seems like you want to be liked but you are really falling on your own sword.

I would avoid trying to be funny. It is not helping and makes you sound aggressive. And your thinking disjointed.

Putting up a picture is better than a blue box but all this one tells about you is you like the picture if you don't reference it. Pictures hopefully tell something about you. Where you live, what your interests are, if you like animals, and possibly in your case what your disability is, and what you look like.

When you list interests think of things you would like to share with another person. Interests you could talk about. If you are and expert on something don't be a snob about it.

Referenceing your disability and then not stateing what it is is like inviting and elephant in the room and pretending you can't see it. What people will assume is much worse than whatever it is. Insulting people who work; suggesting they don't think does not help your case. Since many Mingler's have disabilities it doesn't make you that exotic.

That you have not had a normal interaction with a female; even a kiss in however long it was you said doesn't make people want to give you pity or contact. It is just too much information and sounds whiney. With HIV/AIDs and financial problems a lot of people haven't been sexually active. So what.

You will make or break you profile by just telling what you are like day to day. What is routine. Where do you go when you go out. What would you like to share if you could get a email friendship going. YOu have to crawl before you can walk. Good Luck
