I think that's a little unfair. You know what you want in a man and have confidence in yourself, that's not the same, to me, as being too into yourself. I would say your standards seem a little bit too high but as for your info about yourself it's reasonably ok. As you say, it does read a little bit like a CV (that's what we call a resume), maybe you could inject a bit of wit or personality into it, but I've seen much worse.
Did someone accuse you of having a fake photo? If so, they are being very harsh. We all need to put our best selves forward 0n this. It was a legitimate pro photo taken for work, fair play for making the effort, your profile seems fine. Never mind the begrudgers.
I'm so glad you didn't take my review the wrong way. I was worried afterwards that it may have sounded mean. You should be able to take out the emoticons in edit profile, but personally I wouldn't. I think emoticons are a great way of expressing feelings as text alone can be woefully inadequate in that regard.
Showing more than one side of your face in your profile pic would be a start. You look absolutely breathtaking in that pic of you with the red dress, why not use that?
Text wise your profile does come across a little blunt, but the honesty is refreshing.
Nice profile overall. Personally I would like to see more information on a profile so I have something more to chat about. You are exceptionally beautiful and all your pics are amazing. This gives you an advantage in one way but it can also intimidate some men. They might feel they don't have enough info to strike up a conversation with you and if they happen to think you are out of their league physically, it may put them off contacting you. You might be losing out on some nice genuine guys that way.
Your profile isn't bad by any means but it definitely needs to be bulked up a bit to give more natural conversation starters.
Nothing to slaughter you on. You have a great profile. It's succinct but says what you need it to say. we can see your personality and know what you are looking for. The photo's a bit blurry, but it is still clear you are a very attractive woman.
I'm echoing what has been said elsewhere here, but yeah, I think the photo is a bad idea, you're on a dating site, why have a pic of you with another woman? Also yes if you are going to link to facebook (which is an absolutely terrible idea by the way) then change the relationship status.
All in all it's not a bad profile, but maybe cut out the text speak and reduce the number of smilies, it is very distracting.
I think your profile is good. You say a lot about yourself and seem like a good guy. Only slight thing I'd say in terms of the text is maybe you should reduce the age range you are looking for? A 24 year old might look at your profile and think you are too old (as has been said before.) A 45 year old might think you are really after a younger woman. If you even changed it to 35-45, it still gives you a good range and doesn't isolate any part of that age cohort.
I'm getting crucified for my photo so not going to say much on the pic, other than maybe wear a longer teeshirt, some women may not like the look and also your tatoos are visible. A woman who doesn't like tatoos sees them straight away and it may put her off. Generally in any event, unless you've got a model/bodybuilder's physique, sleeveless tops on a man are probably not a good idea.
It's quite simple really NY. You make the mistake of mentioning the 'm' word. That's an awful lot of pressure to put on men you don't even know yet. PersonallyI'd run a mile from any profile that mentioned marriage. Not because I'm opposed to the idea of marriage, but because it is too full on. Focus on getting to know the person first, walk before you run.
Other than that your profile is grand, so just delete the mention of marriage and I'm sure you'll get more responses.
I must say Almera, you totally missed the point though. I acknowledged the pic wasn't great, I asked for feedback on the profile, which you completely ignored.
One thing straight away. Judging by your pics, you are in great shape, yet you describe yourself as 'a few extra pounds', this indicates a lack of self esteem. Now I'm no one to judge as I could write the book om low self esteem, but it is the first drawback I see. You are a very attractive young woman, you just need to realise it yourself.
Also you have a section for telling us what type of man you are looking for, yet you also do the same thing in the section where you talk about yourself. I know very little about you from your profile. Tell us about your hobbies, what makes you tick?
You are very attractive which gives you a head start in attracting men's attention, so by just giving a little more detail about what makes you a great catch. One other little thing, saying you are looking for Mr Rightmight put some people off. You've said you like a nice genuine guy, I think that's enough.
For what it's worth, if it wasn't for the distance and the fact I'm out of the age range you're looking for, I'd have definitely flowered or emailed you by now. Good luck.
I like your profile a lot.If you wer 10 years younger (or I was 10 years younger) and you didn't love so far away, I'd definitely make a move. Good luck!
Thanks for that, some good feedback there. I actually do post a lot in the Irish forum, yeah must try to cut out the self deprecating thing. Believe it or not that photo is probably as close to smiling as I get as my teeth are actually quiet crooked. So my best pics are usually when someone's just made me laugh.
