First of all, don't feel like the lone ranger about your post lengths; I have to moderate mine as well. Having said that, I would say the length is your biggest problem The information is great, but it's a lot to read. Cut it down to a paragraph or two, and you're good.

Good work. You definitely got your point across. Now to get you to my side of the pond ...

Are you trying to talk people into or out of dating you?

It is not just the amount of information that you present but how hostile it comes across. Presentation is everything. Why would anyone want to date someone so defensive that you have to set the parameters of what they believe for instance. What if you just said what you believe and some one had that in common and said way cool?

I think a lot of people can tolerate a little dab of sarcasm but that is generally something men will just find a red flag.

Hi, I'm a little nervous but thought I would open my profile to critique!

My main concern is the amount of info I have put in my blurb, I know it is good to keep some mysteries to encourage conversation but I also don't want people to feel they have wasted their time by contacting me, so I want to be as honest as possible.

And as you will see by my few forum posts that I struggle to work out when to stop talking!

I look forward to your responses. :)

I found your profile to be upbeat and to the point. Not too long or too short. You seem like a happy person to me, meaning happy with yourself. That, in my book is good stuff.

And I love that church in the background.. great picture :)

I enjoyed reading your profile

Thank you for taking a look. I have always smiled at any of your comments on other threads so I can't possibly ignore your comments!

I'm not sure if you were talking about a specific part of my profile (re: sarcasm) or the whole thing in general so I did a complete review!

Hopefully it is a bit more lighthearted. I am interested in what you think if you would be kind enough to take another look.

Thanks

Little changes that did not seem to compromise you but tweeked the negative to positives. PS great photos.

Thank you for your help, I needed to look at it in a different light!
Re: photos, from reading other threads in this topic I think I need one of more than my head. Main problem is I tend to be behind a camera anytime I go anywhere so think I'm going to have to give in and go for a selfie shot

I am never in front of the camera, learned when I worked in the TV studio in high school that cameras were not my friends, and so I have always worked off camera.

Do you have a regular camera (not your phone) and a tripod? When I finally broke down to get a profile pic or two I used the timer and the camera on the tripod. Less no shaking and you can take several and try different poses and looks until you get one you like!

You got the idea...with a camera that has a timer you can change the setting to a nice place outside...show or show something that you like to do!!
