That's an except profile Scrofa. Well written, with plenty of gentle comedy. I think you'll do well.
You might want to consider using the photo with you presenting a dish (I think), as you are more prominent in it and it will stand out better when people are looking through a gallery. Also it has a rather endearing quality to it.
Good start there. I have a couple of comments. First, in your main photo you look worried, perhaps even a little scared. I'd suggest trying to get a photo where you look relaxed and happy.
I like that you addressed your potential partner directly by talking to "you". However, I noticed you capitalised the word every time you used it. Do you plan to date God or something? Typically the only times you capitalise a pronoun is at the start of a sentence or if you are referring to a deity. A woman wants to feel like a person, not an object of your obsession, so avoid that.
I'm wondering why you picked so many options on a few of those things you're interested in, in a lady. Hair for example, is there any hair type you don't like? Seems like a long winded way of saying you're not fussy.
It's a good start, but you need a hook of some sort intrigue the reader. Also a little bit of comedy adds some flavour.
Lastly, it seems like you're not sure who you are addressing. Remember there is only one person you should be talking to; the woman who is currently reading what you wrote, so address her directly at all times.
Definitely needs more detail. What makes you a great catch? Don't tell me, give me an example. Careful you don't get into the catch and release program though
Is that a cheerfully, chauffeur driven Ford focus?
Careful of those humorous candies as well.
Seriously though, more details, and some sentence structure wouldn't hurt.
Hi Barb, I don't think there's anything glaring in your profile that needs to change.
A lack of response may just mean you're not getting noticed.
You could try posting a bit on the forums as there are quite a few men in your age group who would take notice of you there. Or you could try searching and sending out a few flowers to people you like to try and prod things along.
Just make sure that if you send a flower to someone, that you haven't blocked them, or the country they are in. It can be a little frustrating to get a flower and not be able to reply.
I disagree with that. Don't lower your expectations - raise your value.
Lisa, I noticed on your main picture you wrote that you took the picture yourself and it was the best you could do. Seriously so many people do this and wonder why things don't go well. Your photo will always be the first thing anyone sees, so make it the best picture you can take. If you can get a professional photo, it makes a big difference. If not, get a friend to shoot some snaps for you. Have fun with it, and take a bunch, especially if you have a digital camera handy, as no film equals no cost. Then go through and pick 4 or 5 of your favourites. Then you can switch them around till you get them all rated on here to see which ones people like best.
Also just wanted to point out - "Someone with patients..." So you're looking for someone in a medical profession? Or did you mean patience
A picture tells a thousand words. So what do you want your pictures to say about you? Your picture and your headline are the first thing anyone sees of you, so it is crucial that they show you in your best light. If the photos aren't the best quality and your headline doesn't grab people's attention, then you are losing out on a lot of potential.
Also, like me, you come across as a person who tends to over think things. However, romance is about feeling, and intruding the practicle side of things into romance has a bad habit of killing it. So don't do it.
Just curious whether you would actually date a guy who is 3 foot tall? Don't be afraid to be selective about who attracts you physically, mentally & spiritually. Ultimately guys will find you more desirable if you are harder to reach. Though frankly with that cow girl photo, you don't have anything to worry about.
