Great profile! Fully completed with lots of clear details!! ☺ You know yourself that you should have a picture up but if you really don't want to put one up perhaps say that you will send one if asked.
Also, another thing... I would lose the word "fragile"... it implies that you are easily broken or have emotional baggage!! I'm sure there are other adjectives you could use. I'll have a think and see if I can come up with one. The nearest substitute I can think of right now is "in touch with my sensitive side"...

Hope I helped!!

Obviously you need REAL PHOTOS. You will not succeed without them./

Your blurb is good but would be much better if you talk about what you seek as well as who you are.

yes, you did help me, thanks. I changed the word fragile, with studious which is also true about me. This time I added a pic, too. So my profile is complete.

Your profile seems sincere, although you may want to put up some more pictures of yourself. Definitely one where you are dressed in a nice shirt and smiling. You may want to impress the ladies out there. Make them feel excited.

Actually the version I read was really pretty good. And I grade really hard. Why? Because it would not be hard for someone to strike up a conversation with you from what you wrote in your text. Makes you approachable.

I would recommend adding a nice photo as a lead where you are looking toward the reader and smiling in a little more upbeat lighting. Don't force anything just think you are greeting someone you feel comfortable with. You have great complexion so a little color would be good in a similar shirt with collar. Don't do multiple shots with the same clothes even if your favorites.

You are a nice looking guy for your age; good hair and fully masculine features. Smart no facial hair which is often a temptation. Try to leave the background to a minimum for your lead shot choice. Others telling a story about you is good. Keep this photo in the array as it is interesting and flattering.

You do have the same problem many have with glasses that might hide your nice eyes or glare but if you put a screen or scarf over the light you put towards your face it should filter flatteringly and not seem so wistful. Resist the temptation to not wear them as you will probably look like you are trying but fail to be sexy or come off scary when too wide eyed or you have to squint to see. Most of your photos should make eye contact or you will seem deceptive.

If some of your photos show you standing, even out doors, that will be a plus. You are in and interesting place in the news right now. Hopefully you can show life is still somewhat normal. If it is allowed a picture with you in front of a nice landmark you find interesting.

You will find your Mingle community very supportive once you get known in the forums. Smart, able to take advice, and articulate is always a winning combination. Loosen up a bit I promise many of us don't bite.

Good luck. Welcome to Mingle ....Grandma Star
