OK. Most of your replies have been from men, and I don't think they're getting it. I know I'm old, but I think my reactions are fairly normal for any woman. Your photos make you seem challenging. Your actual profile is a lot better, but still has some things in it. The biggest thing that jumped out at me was you would "quit smoking for the right woman." You don't want a woman who wants to change you. Either say that you really want to quit, or take it out. If a woman demands you quit smoking for her, next she's going to be telling you what to wear.

Now the photos. I love dogs too, but three pictures of your dog is way too many. Have one picture of YOU WITH the dog and no more; and take a new one where you're minus the beer and not falling off the chair. The pictures of you with another woman, the flying pig, and the three guys in red shirts aren't doing you any good. The picture with your shirttail hanging out makes you look sloppy. I'd get rid of all of those, and also the one where all you can see is the cellphone. And about the hair. You look MUCH better with short hair. If you have to have it long like that, put it in a ponytail. If you're growing it really long like Krupa, then ask Krupa what to do with it. Long hair isn't right for everybody.

That's all just my opinion, but at least it comes from someone of the opposite sex. Just think of it this way: you want photos that make a woman say, "Whoa, now that's a cool guy!" Notice the exclamation mark? Your photos are capturing the laid-back part of you (except for the gun, which I don't think is going to turn on many women), but they're not showing your pride in yourself. You want them all to be as good as the one head shot of you without glasses. That makes you look really cute.

Good luck!

Thank you for your feedback. What I meant by the smoking statement was takin out of context I guess. I wasn't trying to come across as a push over, I was simply trying to state that if I met the right girl, and she wanted me to quit (which I've been thinking about doing anyway), then I would be willing to for her. But yeah...you may be right. maybe I should just change it to "I'm a smoker, but I'm trying to quit."

As for the feedback on the pics. I don't really have a whole lot to choose from, and I don't consider myself to be very photogenic. The ones with the longer hair are half-a**ed attempts taken within the last few days (also shot by yours truly). The other ones are just stuff that I've had on my computer for a while (not sure if you notice the weight loss). And I put up more than one of my dog to emphasize how a big part of my life she is (which seemed to be a problem with my last relationship. Don't understand how someone can be jealous of a dog...but, yeah). But...I will take your advice and find someone to take some nicer pics & weed out some of the others.

Now about the hair. I've had mixed reviews. It seems a lot of the younger girls like the long hair & the older ones like it short. Me, personally...I prefer it short (mainly for low maintenance & comfort), but I figured I would try something different for a change.

Thanks again for your insight & honesty. It is much appreciated.

Don't get rid of the pic of you and the other woman, if they don't know who she is that will help you weed out the non-horror fans.

Yea right, don't listen to Torgo. He just wants your brain for his collection..
