Umm, no offense, but you have almost nothing written in your profile,
which means not only is there nothing to "rate", but there isn't
really anything to catch someone's interest when looking at it.

Also, this is your first post, so you haven't generated much
attention to you or what you have to offer. The forums are the best
way to get noticed-let others get to know you, and vice versa.


Lastly, you've only been here for a little over 2 months period.
Give it a little time. :smile:


By the way...hello and welcome to Mingleland. :banana:

Well I have good news for you, as it stands unless you put in huge effort your profile can almost certainly get no worse... The good news is since zero effort when into the creation it is highly unlikely you will get a big rush of energy and make it worse. So smile, because if you listen to me this is the last time you will suck on paper as it were.

Right, first off you have didn't answer for drink. Why not have a beer and think about it. Because women will, and if you choose to not answer they choose to say wino, man is drunk every night, NEXT! Any unanswered stuff is inviting ladies to make huge assumptions about you. Don't give women you don't know that much power.

Your interests are poor, quitting smoking is an interest? As a smoker I say it's not an interest more a fear. You smoke, and musing about it is not quite the same as discussing the latest research in why almost all tv sucks. List stuff you like to do, and be sure to include some stuff that can be done as a couple.

Now pay attention Skippy and heed all of the following!

Your headline blows chunks, 3 lousy photos in which you barely smile and a profile body which is made up of a sentence that reads like the sad donkey from Winnie The Pooh does not make you man candy! So the following will fix this...

K first thing is you lack a decent close up of your face smiling. We like smiles, especially when we can see you have teeth :) A well lit close up with a smile goes a long way. The rules are don't be topless, or have bed or bathroom shots. They are tacky, and rarely play well... You need a variety inside and out, with at least one full body shot.

The first big thing I get from your one line profile is nothing. It's sad but tell me zero about you. The average viewer attention span is about 12 seconds. In that first 12 seconds we peek photos and catch the first few lines. If it ain't your A game the reader will click next or back. Not my rules just the way it seems to work

So you need a great opening, and don't dismiss the power of a great headline. So many headlines read like a bad country song. Looking for goodhearted woman/man. How many do you see seeking a total a-hole. None! The thing is it's easy to say no fatties, drama queen, blah , blah. But guess what they come anyway. You have to weed through the losers, we all do. Because the headcase does not actually think for one minute she is a headcase. Try "Free Jimmy Choo's click now!" Or "All handbags and hot guys 50% off today only!

So what you need is a simple basic format, whole point of a profile is to give just enough of a peek to to pique the readers interest and make them want to know more.

So a paragraph about you, who you are and where you are in your life, just a glimpse. Use your charm and humor to lure them in.

Then one about your interests. What are your passions, what is a typical day off or weekend for you? Share some of what you like doing.

Finish with who you seek. Be descriptive, it is crucial. You would do well to list three traits in a woman you really like, because it allows her to see herself on your page. Then you are more likely to get mail and or a favorable reply.

Nothing negative, keep it totally positive, it's a glimpse of you and it should show you, and what you offer and want.

ya this is either the deadest dating site
or i have the worst profile around!
noone ever sends a note nothing.

Door #2.
Although, far from the worst.

Great nickname.
Nice pictures.
An interesting profile begets interest.

You will get out of this site pretty
much what you put into it.
So, in all this free time you have with
no email, you could flesh it out some.

Welcome :-)

You have put no effort into your profile. Write more about yourself and what you're looking for.

Are you sending out emails or just waiting for people to contact you?
