Author	Thread: Profile Critique?
Admin	Profile Critique? Posted : 29 Mar, 2011 11:26 PM Hello all, I am not really sure that this online thing is working for me or is even my thing. I am just curious if I could maybe get some of you to critique my profile and let me know what you think. Thanks to all who reply, your all awesome. :) Post Reply

After reading it, I feel like I have a good sense of who you are. It's very genuine. There are a couple of changes that I would make. I would clean up the typos (there are a few) and cut out most of your first paragraph. While your discouragement is understandable, it could be interpreted as whiny and a woman may not keep reading. Hope that helps! =) Post Reply

DanielleJoy1228 View Profile History	Profile Critique? Posted : 30 Mar, 2011 10:06 AM I personally think that you should change your tagline. "Online dating is not really my thing" is not the first thing that people should see after your screen name. Most people aren't 100% comfortable but they don't broadcast it. It makes you seem half-hearted about the whole thing. Half-heartedness is not generally seen as an attractive characteristic. Sorry if this seems harsh. I'm not really good with mixing honesty with tact. You also might want to add a picture that is just you from the shoulders or waist up. Makes things less confusing. Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Profile Critique? Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 10:36 AM I actually do have one suggestion...I forgot about it!!! You say that you would want to meet a girl's father if the relationship goes beyond the first few days (or something like that). I think that is very admirable of you. However, you might want to change that to "parents" or "father or mother" rather than just "father." If a girl doesn't have a father, or has a father who has been abusive or is not even a part of her life, she might be overly nervous about communicating with you because she would know that you would want to meet him. Yes, I know that's probably silly of any girl, but it's something to think about. My father passed away when I was 12, so I'm used to saying "Oh, I don't have a dad...he died a long time ago. My mom is the parental figure in my life." It doesn't bother me any more...but I remember how it used to bother me terribly. Post Reply
