...rate me, rate me again.

What do you think of my profile? What can I improve?/

I would take out the bit about your profession being a geek. That isn't a job. If you are unemployed and don't want to say so on your profile then you could just put down whatever your last job was.

I'm a computer tech. I fix and network computers for a living, basically a geek. I guess I should change that to make it more understandable

I think so. I know plenty of geeks and they aren't all computer technicians.

OK. WTF is "Far, Far Away" in Hawaii? Is that even a real place? Maybe the ladies just never see you because you're so far away. Also, those Hawaiian islands and cities have really pretty names and it'd help the ladies imagine connecting with you if they knew on which one you live.

Also, you've got two decent face pictures and your default profile picture is that swishy abstract painting?! Just saying.

You could also fill out your personal description some more. Tell people what, exactly you're looking for and not just ***** about not meeting enough people.

Let me put it in terms of sales. You need to sell yourself, here. Not literally, but figuratively. Like a car or timeshare vacation spot. You should convey value, scarcity, and get your 'customers' to visualize themselves with the 'product.' Tell the ladies if/how they fit in your ideal woman (in vague terms, so that many women qualify) and tell them what being with you might be like. You live in a tropical paradise--especially to the women who don't live there but might want to come visit. For women who do live around there, tell the ladies how hard you work (and would work for them) and vaguely how successful you are. Then they might understand what a great guy you are and how they need to get to meet you.

If I were you, I'd say something like:

"I'm a hard-working computer technician looking to spend time with a special woman. I'm up for going out, walks on the beach (and Hawaii has GREAT beaches) or just staying home and getting to know each other better. My marriage didn't work out so well, but I'm over that and ready to make the next relationship work. Are you open to meeting a divorced father of two? If so, let me know. I'm looking for a warm-hearted, honest woman between 24 and 30. Send me a note if there's anything else you'd like to know."

Otherwise, good profile, but you're not my type. :)
