... is this the place where beginners start off?

Perhaps not ... im sure it takes some time to build a profile that's a real rater [is that E?] ... so give me a little time so I can look around and get some ideas... or is that cheating????

chat anyone?

Welcome..very nice picture!

Welcome

Thanks 'Startin_anew" .... i nearly called myself 'Just_startin', but then it didn't really fit with my age ... so gave it a miss!

But u got me interested now ... where on the rating scale does 'very nice picture' come? ... or is that a hint to get busy with some words of enticement?

Thnx Stefy ... flowers rate!

Your profile is one line. That doesn't tell us much about you or what you're looking for from this site. Also, both pictures you have uploaded look the same. Try adding a variety of pictures.

Thnx for the tip Singme ... yes, i realise i am short on words .. but i WILL work on it .. promise!

Two pics? .. hmmm .. i did upload the wrong one at first .. but was sure i replaced it with the second ... I must check cause i only see one from here.

btw .. there is a difference between them! ... can you spot the diff??? Its a bit like 'Where's Wally'??

Write more about yourself and lets us know what you are all about and what you are looking for. Just keep adding to it as you think of things you may want to share with us. Yes looking around does help and is not considered cheating..lol Your picture is nice and clear and shows you nice eyes and smile. Good luck!!

OK Startin'.. so reading ur profile gave me the nod ...

However:

"I may not be the most beautiful or the sexiest..nor have the perfect body"

is an interesting declaration ... surely there can only be ONE 'most beautiful in the whole world ... the rest of us, by definition, must rate below ... same applies for 'sexiest' i guess?

but u know what i think? ... its our flaws that define our beauty! .. fancy having 'air brush' looks with perfect hourglass 'figa' [italian for 'hot spunk'] ... it would soon become a little boring .. IMO anyway.

Some say that it is 'what's inside that counts' ... and while that is very true, you can't have an inside without an outside ... and that also counts as well.

BTW: Nice pic!

"Write more about yourself and lets us know what you are all about and what you are looking for."

Yeah .. i can see ur point .. but i just think it might be more fun finding out like this, thru live exchange ... PLUS ... making absolute declarations, especially when coming from a perfectly understandably biased author, might not tell the whole story.

And don't u think it not stifles the intrigue a little? .. or am I now revealing the cynic in me now, something i don't think i would declare in my front line profile description btw.

I dunno .... i will have a look round and expand on it in time.

But thnx for the tips.

Great profile! Short and to the point ... i like it!

Keep in mind that if you want someone to read your profile and want to contact you, you're going to have to give some more info. We're not telling you to write your life story. But, if I were browsing through profiles, the ones I'd contact would be the ones who wrote something that caught my interest. I tend to pass by the ones who have just a sentence or two that really tells me nothing.

singmesweet is not a fan of your profile. For that reason alone, The Shiki rates it as an A-.

Welcome to Mingle2,I am sure, you will fit in, just fine.

Welcome to Mingle Rfah. I looked at your profile and liked it. I thought it was short, but surprisingly cute, in terms of approach. Join us more in the forum. :)

Thanks twokids ... *smells the flowers* ... Ahhhhh!

Thnx Red_Lace ..(a seductive name!) .. i looked at yours and felt somewhat overwhelmed!! Looking forward to exchanges. *smile*

OK, The Shiki really looked at your profile, and it is OK. Not great. Not bad. But OK. He gives it a C. Here are the issues:

1. You write as your profession that you are a professional. What is up with that?

2. You state that "Not looking for anything or anybody specific .. definitely NOT looking for 'prince charming'." You write that you are looking for a woman, and then you write this. If you are bisexual, you should state that. Otherwise, your message is unclear.

3. Too many sexual innuendos. A few are OK, but when you overload your profile with them, it appears as if you are not sincere. You state that you are looking for more than that, but you come across as a guy seeking a "booty call."

If you need my help to revise, just let me know.

Shiki

Thnx Shiki, you'll be the first i consult with!
