Yeah, that's a lot better. It's not great BUT it does give a positive image of you... and there's nothing that really DLV's you.

The only thing i'd change is the "PROBABLY" thing. I know you're trying to communicate high value with it - but it will make some people who message you feel like you are going to be an asshole and judge them - and that kind of thing has only ever hindered me.

thanks, I might change that last part. I just wanted something to come off as confident at least. I'm not sure if you've seen the background, but I was wondering if I should change it or not. I'm sure the "Blow" background will turn off some HB's

APowell - I understand you don't want a "About Me" book. But you need to inject some personality and tell some things about you tho. Or else no girl would be interested in you. Unless your photo catches her attention, but even then looks only go so far. As far as your newer about me, it is better but needs be touched up some. Take out the word nerd. I would say its a DLV. You may even do what Mystery does when people ask him what he majored in when he was in college. As he majored in Computer Science, but made up an interesting "story" to tell people it. It is also still overall pretty general of a profile.



Buria - I sent ya a PM you sneaky bastard .

The Basics: Passionate guy looking to make the most out of my life. A life learner. I work full time and live alone, I handle my business. No kids, no drama, no bull $%!#. Pretty chill and can talk about anything... Open minded and love expanding, both curious and adventurous. health conscious & love to work out. Recently moved back to the area after spending a few years living it up in southern California..... I want to see the world and beyond. Outside of work I laugh a lot. I love meeting new people, intelligent conversation and exploring new cultures.

Feedback??

This isn't bad. It's a good start and I have a pretty good view of your personality and what you are like. This could be shortened a bit but it's not bad at all written out this way.

Here is the thing that's missing. What are you looking for? When online you need to be clear about the type of girl you are after. What personality traits would she have? What hobbies? You don't need a laundry list but a few key traits that you are looking for need to be listed. That way women know if you are going to like them.

When guys don't list what they want women have no idea if you two are going to be compatible or not. Since they don't have that information many don't reply.

Here is mine. I've been at this for a while, but this 'about me' doesn't seem to be helping.

no you can not make out with me... message me first

girls love my blue eyes.

i'm a really cool person, but i can be a jerk.

i have a tendency to be very outlandish and outspoken. if you take your self too seriously... i'd rather not hang out with you.

i'm not boyfriend material, this guy is (link to Jonlajoie's Show Me Your Genitals on YouTube)


it has been proven that needy people give me headaches at a very, very fast rate.

i'm a double-major. i'm studying criminal justice and psychology. my ultimate goal is to be a trial consultant.

i respect people who work for something they want and eventually earn it.

i enjoy laughing, people watching, criminology, rock music, and jumping out of places scaring people.

i am down for any movie from the 70s or 80s.

i'm versatile.

i love meeting new people and surrounding myself with positive, fun, spontaneous, and outrageous people. do not plan on hanging out if you dont have some idea about who you are as a person, or do not have an open mind about trying new things.

i don't like flakes.

if you consider yourself typical, don't even bother... i'm too high maintenance for you.

i am a jerk, i do what i want when i want. i expect you to be strong enough to do the same.

i have a huge.... book collection

prison break, criminal minds, and the office are my favorite tv shows. i also enjoy conan o'brien.

i kinda like to act and i don't get nervous during public speaking.

i enjoy people in general, except for the douche bags out there that cause problems, drama, and fights...

dont message me just because you think you're hot, message me because you have personality.

i am straight forward, i am confident and strong. i do what i want, and will not apologize for it.[/b]

I think this is a great thread for those interested in online dating sites. The issue I have seen most men have with online dating is not their profiles, but the initial message they send to women. Because many of times, they don't even look at your profile. They look at your message and picture first, and if either one turns them off, they don't look at your profile. If they picture interests them, they favor your message better and will check out you profile. But if you pic is good and your message sucks, they might not check out your profile...you following...

But anyway, for profiles, I would have to say shorter is better, but there needs to have something there. More than "i'll fill you in later" or "just ask me." NEVER put "just ask me." You are meeting women online and they need to decide if they like you or not so they need to see if you two are compatible and if you have similar interests. Most of you guys wrote that you enjoy lifting weights, playing video games, and are up for whatever. Not only does this not distinguish you from most other men, it doesn't appeal to women's interests. How many women are going to enjoy weight lifting, working on cars, and video games. Furthermore, how many women are going to know enough about that to write you a message about it questioning you about it---if you don't make it easy for them to relate to you and open you, chances are they won't dig for that info.

Most women won't contact guys on there first anyway (well the good ones at least). The good ones are bombarded with messages everyday. So they use the pic/message message to do an initial sort. Then she will check your profile. So make it easier for her to relate to you, random things are good to. Think of it like peacocking. When you are wearing something noticeable, it makes it easier for women to open you by talking about that accessory. Peacock your profile, tell a funny story (keep it very short and concise), ask a question that is out there....hopefully you are getting it now.

I also think you should put the basics in there...age, location, job/school, major, etc....those are questions you don't really want to have a convo about because it will get into interview mode:

Her: What do you do?
You: I go to school
Her: Oh cool, where do you go?
You: ___________
Her: Ahh, I see, well what is your major?
You: ___________
Her: And what do you want to do with that

Blah blah blah....sounds like an interview. You may see that as interest, but that format of conversation won't produce attraction.

Very true indeed. Tho some girls will check you your profile to give you a chance. But those girls are few in numbers.
I understand what your saying, but trying to appeal to their interest is a futile really. Because it is impossible to really to appeal to all womens interest. And I think it is better to almost not to try to appeal to her interest but to show off yours. As girls are attractive to guys that have their own interest that they can share with another person. Yes have things in common is important, but remember you are trying to also be different and to separate your self from the other guys at the same time.
Totally agree. I will also add to give the girl time to respond back. A lot of guys expect instant or near instant replies from their messages. If the girl doesn't respond back then wait a couple of months at least and try again.

I can't agree more. Also some sites let you see if they read your message and/or deleted your message. If you see that they read and deleted it or read it and haven't responded, please do not write a hateful message back saying how all women are cruel, cold-blooded, heartless bitches. Maybe she didn't give you a chance, or maybe she just wasn't into you. It happens, but please don't respond to her like that. Because she won't be like "omg you're right, now I totally want to be with you" lol. And if you think this is absurd, oh boy you have no idea how often this happens.

To start off im ____________.I was born in Lithuania which means im European which means i dont drink or smoke.I was born on April 10th 1991 which means im still a little boy.. looks can be decieving . Im a very chill guy and i love to party HARD.I love music .

Im into football,basketball,and soccer . If you want to know more about me message me..I promise i wont bite... Hard

My new 'About me"


I'm _______. I'm different than other guys.I'm an ASSHOLE <3. I'm Lithuanian,tall(6'4 to be exact),Confident,and good looking. If you don't like me I dont FUCKING care. I got a fanclub of haters . I love it! I do what I want when I want. I don't care who you are. If I had to describe what i'm looking for in a girl it would go something like this. Confident,personality,looks,funny,trustworhy,classy,calm,cool,relaxed,sexy,outgoing,daring,dependable,naughty,fierce,independent,mature. All in that order. If you want to know me or get to know me Comment me. You won't regret it.

---I'm a really social person, sometimes I like to go out and just meet random people. Everybody has there own stories and I like to learn about them. I once talked to this elderly Oriental gentleman for half an hour I met on a bench in the mall. And found out all sorts of things about him, where he was from, what he does for a living, he told me about his family life, and all sorts of other things. Now will I ever see him again, who knows, but if I do I know I will have a friend.
---I like to exercise, I believe that with everything in life you get from it what you put in it. I'm currently attempting the P90X, after every workout I'm dead tired and can barely move. When I finally make it through the beginning, when I start to improve I know it will become easier, I'll be in the best shape of my life, and I'll have a killer bod to boot. None of it will happen if I don't put my all into it though.
---I also enjoy learning about subjects such as philosophy, sociology, and psychology. I find certain theories that are just so fascinating that I could study them for days or just talk about them with friends for hours, I'm a geek when it comes to this stuff .
---I like to have fun, I find that when I'm having fun its easy to share it. When I hang out with friends or just meet new people, they seem to pick up on what I'm feeling. Its like a yawn, when one person yawns you don't know why but for some reason you yawn too.
---Well I'm done typing for now, but if you have any questions feel free to message me.
