Well said!

Did I miss something? Is this the "Rate My Profile" forum or not? Where else should someone express opinions about profiles and how people "might" respond to them? Everyone is entitled to put whatever they want.

But if I am a going to write a profile I think I am going to read what people who read them say first. That's who's opinion is going to matter most.

Not like the title doesn't make it clear it is an opinion post.

Some people have good sales and marketing background and can teach you how to sell what you offer in a way to get the customer you want and close the deal.

Most people's goal is to find a good match isn't it? Then if you make a few friends and have a good time it is icing on the cake isn't it?

This guy in another forum told me to rewrite my profile
I think he may be afraid of competition
Looking at his profile..................
Well enough said

man this thread s a good read....


*popcorn munchin*

creepy

All women should put in their profiles whether or not

they think yellow boots are "hot"... of course most do.

I kind of dig yellow boots!

This is golden Anna!

I know my profile breaks down the minutia which is a turn off to most -- but I don't give a rat's butt.

If I fluff it up, and sugar coat my feelings then I will attract every guy I DON'T want to meet.

The right guy will be a rare gem so if I only attract one or two guys from the site -- then they are my rare gems.

I am upside down over most of the illiterate, spamming, scamming, player profiles on this site, and if I allowed it to bother me then I would be in a world of hurt. I know I hold nothing back when someone ASKS for feedback; yet, I couldn't imagine sending unsolicited advice.

I just click to the next profile … clickity, click, click, click!

I wish people would put more about their habits; are you a morning person or night owl, light sleeper or dead to the world, minimalist or hoarder, what kind of vacations do you like, social or solitary, mellow or firecracker temper, outgoing or shy, parent centered or empty nester

There is something to the body language thing. They say if you have your arms folded across your chest you are closed off from anyone becoming close to you. So, NEVER post a photo on a dating site with your arms folded ...etc.

A smile, even if it is not your perfect natural smile, will almost always help engage interest better than no smile.

The person who is making eye contact with the reader or at least looking toward the text of there posts in forums makes at least subtle engagement with the reader. Looking away from the reader or away from the text frequently makes the poster seem untruthful or frightened to own being on line.

Background of a photo can be very negative. Does it draw the eye to the Profiled person or the distractions. If a photo shows something to appear to be growing out of your head it is better to delete the background.

If you do not smoke or drink do not have them in your photos. It makes you look deceitful.

Taking your picture in most mirrows will make your skin look yellow or green without special light filters; neither are flattering.

If you are taking several shots for your profile at the same time change your clothes or at least change your location. Duplicate shots are redundant. Especially if you repeat it in text. At least change the location.

If you feel you have to crop someone out of the photo try to photo shop or at least crop your picture and lay it on a mat so it appears balanced.

Trying to look sexy usually makes you look drunk, high, or fake.

Keep your hands down extending them or proping your chin usually draws focus away from your face to your throat or the disporportion of limbs.

Photo's that cut off your legs or feet make you look shorter and usually heavier.

Putting your hands in your pockets shows lack of confidence and can make your overall outline heavier.

Use photos to sell YOU not your friends, belongings, or places you have visited and don't want to see again.

Pictures can speak a thousand words; make sure they reflect your current interests.

Graduation shots may seem lame but they do show you have accomplished a diploma or skill. A good thing if your employment information suggests you did not need a diploma.

Hunting trophy shots usually only appeal to other serious hunters.

If you would not introduce yourself in your underwear for the first time then don't wear it in your lead photo or use it in your first six pictures.

Photo's in "costume" might seem like a signature shot but they rarely are flattering and Halloween is generally only one day a year.

Photo's in uniform need to be balanced with photo in personal clothing. Dailey military uniforms usually mentally suggest seperation from society if they do not include civilians.

Aren't those the kind of things that come up in conversation when you get to know someone?

ummm what I'm getting out of this is that he is telling women how to be more like what he wants em to be?

it's that easy?

who knew?

"Star Trek or Harry Potter fans."

That made ME giggle.

I guess that very nice smile might counter arms folded - comfortably - on the chest reclining next to a fire. Turns out that it's a popular pix.

Gator unfold your arms stand up tall and smile Click now put that on your profile your still the same outside lol but yes i admit a nice smile never does anyone any harm. I must take a picture of me smiling DOH!!

Balls?


Snip snip.

Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmm?"

only you.
