Well, as Canu said, get involved in the forums, that's the best way for people to get to know you.

As for your profile itself, you want honesty?

I am not attacking you but I have read at least 4 or 5 post about people who hate when you type like a 5 year old with "I am looking '4' some advice on whaat '2' do" your an adult and women tend to respect when you act like one, if you talk like an adolescent there are going to assume you are, which is mostly likely an unfait impression but when there are this many profiles to read through most people are quick to blow you off and move onto the next one if they see anythnig at all they dislike.

Well, I was going to say, McGruff, that when I looked at your profile, the first couple of lines would definitely put me off, it kind of sounds really negative and, well, whiny and bitter. Not many women (men either, for that matter) want to get involved in that. I tend to skip right over profiles with those kinds of lines. flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

Talk more about yourself, not what you like to do, but who YOU are. And more about the qualities you'd like to find, not the ones you don't.

Hope it helps a little drinker drinker

I agree with mgilligan. Type normally, not like you would type on AIM or Yahoo! I have noticed sometimes that throwing yourself out there (pleading, begging) just makes it a ton worse. The bottom line: be yourself, if someone doesn't like it, well they aren't meant for you.

my suggestion would be to tell them you make 300k a year and drive a ferrari and that should just about do it.

Given honest criticism isn't really being mean. What I feel is worse is lying to someone and not offering the help they asked for. Since MrGRuff had the courage to ask for help in a public forum he is recieving it and I am sure his profile will be pulling in the ladies in no time.

McGruff sorry if you took anything I said personally just trying to help, meant nothing against it.

Leave your employment record out. If you can provide for yourself, you are the only one who needs to know. You are dating not turning your bank account to be audited.

Real people care about what you are about. Honesty, fun loving, good humor,....:smile:
Good luck!

I agree with suzin, state the positives about you. Stay away from the bitter stuff. We all have past stuff we are dealing with but don't put it out there to show yourself as bitter. Bitter people are hard to deal with. I would try to put some positive stuff up there and then work on the bitterness to make it go away so it will not interrupt your next relationship. I did not get too much from reading it other than the game stuff, you work sometimes and you like kids. There has to be more positive stuff. Hope this helpsflowerforyou

welcome to jsh. read lots of profiles and see what you like
about what others say about themselves to get ideas.

personally i like some creativity. it can be brief if it is provocative...one of my favorites of all time was a one liner but many prefer a little bit more to go on than a picture. after all looks aren't the whole story. sometimes using a cartoon or funny pic gets people curious...

but post often and participate in discussions so people can get a feel for who you are and how you think. then like minded ladies can saunter up alongside a little more comfortably...

be polite and careful in your spelling and punctuation because, well, it is polite and shows some level of care.

but you don't have to capitalize laugh unless you want to...

Good idea! GRIN. Put it in word format then copy and paste it over if you are not too great at spelling and/or punctuation.

Tell about what you like to do. Be upbeat. All that fun stuff.

And as mentioned before, hang out in the forums. Best way to meet people!

Ahh sorry never saw those most of the ones I saw were fairly mild or encouraging so i thought she was referring to me. If they were nasty I am glad they are gone now you should enver put someone down for asking for help.
