Well, I'm quite surprised (as always) to see that quite a lot of people read the *profile-review* but write nothing.

So why do you read it if you don't want help ?

Got 33 people on my profile-review and nobody answered (but me !!!)

IMO,

Honestly, I have not viewed your profile but I will, I think that people do the 'review profile' thing to get others to view their profile so that attention is brought to them. This type of thread poster needs to be specific as to what they want, a critique, a praise or what? "How can I improve my profile" will get you a better response than "what do you think" type of post."How can I improve",will get you more responses than "What do you think?"

Hope that makes sense,help

You usally put your profile on review to have some indication on the way you can improve it.

Is it not the use of a *profile-review* ?

Sometimes we need to be more specific as to our request or reason why, we want people to view a profile. I have been here for awhile and have seen the pattern of people that only want attention to inflate their ego. I don't think that was your purpose for this thread, I think you wanted positive feedback on ways to improve your profile. There are ways to improve a profile,mainly, be honest, go into some detail about you, but not too much. Look at ways to add info about yourself without getting egotistical. Don't come back and BLAST people for not responding, "Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house."

I look at profile reviews when i'm bored but don't comment, partly because alot of them are a bit 'whoa is me' and the other reason is i agree, some do it for attention.

I think a good way to get ideas is to look at others profiles, to see what they include . wine

It truly is a wasted request. I tried it twice and had two replies. I made both recommended changes. Too many people think it is just a way of getting attention. Way to many people attempt to second guess why people do things on CS. Not very trusting, but it takes all kind to make this world. Variety is interesting, but sometime frustrating.

professor It is not a waste of time !!

I did the profile review thing back when I started and got many replies, either by mail or the thread.

I did not need to edit my profile due to it's decent quality. The only thing I have edited is the fact that I am now married and look no further for a relationship.
