boring picture. just you standing there. put some photos where you are traveling in thailand or something. and ye, mostly it is not a profile but what you write to women. but that is for another time, not sure if you want to know anything about that, since you only asked about profile |

first of all if you do not have an amazing profile women won't message you. amazing profile means wonderful photo, and even then only one or two will message you in a month. anyway, the goal is to get her number, and second to meet her in person. that's it. the less you talk the better, the more numbers the better. number->meet in person. |

Hmmm...yeah man your profile is kind of bland... Lol the ultimate guide for dating profiles online for me now... Are things that come from that movie: "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Ben Stiller You dont have to be A COMPLETE adrenaline junkie and travel the glove or anything.. but the concepts of how to create A profile on an online dating site and how women want someone who is fun is really helpful. Try watching it on megashare man! I just watched it the other day I really enjoyed it. |

It makes me feel better I'm getting an absolutely horrible response rate lol... What I'm saying to them on there... Well I say something personable about their hobbies or whatever we have in common... Or I'll just say something general like "Hey... it seems like we have a lot in common...would love to chat if you want message me back" or something like that... THANKS!! |

Unless you're a model/really good looking guy, the kind of pictures in your profile won't work. The type of pictures you need are action, ex: playing a sport you love, outdoors hiking or dancing at a party. The pictures on your profile communicate lonely guy, I recommend you only keep 1 up until you can take new pictures. As for the about me section delete it, it's boring and looks like it was cut & paste from a hot girls profile. If you are not an really good looking online dating takes a lot of work. You got to attack it like a marketing project: who is your target audience and what is your goal? You have to have a clear plan of attack don't just be lazy. There are a few great topics on this online section that explain this, just do your homework or get offline and do actual game. |

Holy shiet!! That is horrible for someone who has known PUA since 2007! Fix it ASAP! Pics need to be in different settings and different times, and they can't be selfies. Profile text doesn't really matter but it should qualify (e.g., "i'm looking for x, y, and z"). That's all for now, I like criticism on my mistakes and I hope I gave you something to think about. I think the first step is to go out, dress nice, and have pics taken of you being social. Anything else before that will be a waste of time. |

Wow. I had to create an account just so I could respond to this. First off, like a few of the guys here said...boring pictures. But what I disagree with is that you do not have to create pictures of you in different countries or doing extreme things to create a compelling picture. However, like one of the guys said, you have to attack it like a marketing campaign. I'm a big believer in women will make the first move. Think about most PUA stuff that is actually successful and time tested...most of it is the PUA making himself noticed in order for her to invite a conversation. PUA will teach you that you should be an alpha, the same thing with your profile. Nothing about your profile says that you are noticeable nor an alpha. Your profile says, "balding guy that will do whatever you want me to do." Step 1: Define your alpha character into words. Say who you are and what you stand for. Say what you want out of life. Say what you want in a woman and challenge her to live up to you. Leave out all the stuff about the saying you are laid back, carefree, and easy to get along with. That is code for weak. "If you want to know more, just ask?" I hate that because it seems like you are begging them to contact you. Step 2: Your pictures, as you already have been told, suck. Again...you don't need to be an adrenaline freak or a world traveler in your pictures. Your pictures need to express power in your personality. Your main picture needs to be a head shot, so when she clicks your profile...you know that she is clicking because your first picture was attractive enough to make her want to know more. You, like myself, have a retreating hairline. I make up for this by shaving my head...but you may not want to go that route, so wear a hat. Lose the smile in your main picture. Smiling is equivocated to weak, so get rid of it (I'm not saying to frown). And finally on that main picture, you need to look down (at least a fraction below eye level) at the camera and not it looking down on you. She needs to feel like she's looking up to you in a picture. BTW...it says your eyes are green, but the pictures don't highlight that. Show it off. You will get emails complimenting your eyes alone. I would suggest next you have a full body picture, and again, stressing your alpha. How do you do that? A simple pose with your four fingers in your pocket and your thumbs outside. This does two things, it's a male power stance expressing confidence. It also makes you look like a sexual being because you are pointing your thumbs at your genitalia. Believe it or not, it actually works. I personally think that picture of you at the game is the only one that I would leave in place because it shows you having a good time. Step 3: DON'T WAIT FOR EMAILS. I can't stress this enough, so I'll say it again. DON'T WAIT FOR EMAILS. PUA's will teach you that should watch for signals that show that a woman is interested. Online dating is the same in many respects. If a woman has clicked on your picture...think of that as your signal that you sparked her interest and respond accordingly (remember I said, women make the first move). Don't worry about all of the advice that you get saying that you should comment on something that she says in her profile, she has a bunch of other guys saying the exact same thing and she's heard it before. |

To the OP, I'm gonna be blunt here. You need to accept that you've gone bald. Your days of having hair are over, so mourn the loss and wet-shave it all off. You will look 5 years younger. Trust me. Keep your beard/stubble. The good news is, your face is still young and fresh, with good teeth. Your fashion sense however, is stuck in 1993. Ditch all your baggy clothes and get fitted clothes, with open shirts, vests, anything which bares your chest. Tight clothes are generally good. Your posture needs to be less defensive and more open / relaxed. You need more shots of you doing interesting shit with other people, preferably outside. A music festival, on the beach, on stage, surfing, basically anything which is outdoors, apart from rock climbing which is for douches from San Francisco. Whoever said smiling in a profile pic shows weakness is wrong. Smiling is not needy or weak. It shows a sense of self-contentment and self-amusement. A guy who can relax and not be so serious. A guy who women will feel comfortable around. Don't have a goofy smile on every pic, but a relaxed smile on at least half your pics is a good balance. Worst possible pic you could take: Selfie in the mirror. This is a girls thing. It's not for guys. It's not even cool when girls do it! |
