Profile Review

Virginia Beach, VA, Us

I opened a private gallery for you to show you the kinds of pictures you should have.

Take a least one picture of the two you you dressed nicely like you are going on a date or to church.

You need pictures of the male.

The lady half seems to have the same problem I have with my arms. Look at that private gallery to see how to deal with taking pictures when you have a few extra inches in your arms.

Hi. Let me iterate that anything said here is about your profile and everyone's intentions really are benign, but the process can feel harsh.

So, we often say to treat your profile like a resume, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen one treated like a jobs posting. It's really off-putting.

It's not that we all don't have preferences, even strong ones, but your phrasing has a distinct odor of Human Resources to it. To follow it up by giving a timeline for responses just underscores that impression and pretty much ices the cake of Nope.

Since your profile is so unappealing, 13 years old with no certs and poorly thought out photos, my first recommendation is to create a new account and have your billing transferred to it, giving yourselves a fresh start. If you're devoted to this one, you're going to need to put it through some wholesale changes.

Starting with your photos, there is no reason to not have clothed, anonymous photos of the two of you as a couple in your public profile. That way, people have more information. Sure, a sexy boob shot gets male interest, but yours isn't good and is way more about wrinkled sheets and a television remote than anything else.

In constructing your profile, think about the people you'd like to meet as other people rather than as applicants. Be charming rather than didactic. Since it currently reads like it was entirely written by a man with no input from any woman anywhere, maybe try for a joint effort. And then read what you have aloud so as to avoid the heavy, unappealing beats that are in your text now.

If you're the lovely thoughtful people most folks are, let that come through.

Anyway, I'm interesting in seeing what changes you make, so I hope you come back with either a revision or a new profile.

Good luck.

Yes, but when you toggle zero interest in a profile type - singles in your case - even if you don't check the block box, we can't see your profile. Now that you've opened a slight bit of interest for single women, I can see your profile, but I couldn't before.

I don't usually comment on profiles unless something really stands out. I laugh a little when I see anything like "please respond within X days/hours." I think sometimes people forget that not everyone works a Monday to Friday, 9-5 job. Last weekend my husband worked a little over 60 hours from Friday to Monday morning. So if you (or a couple like you) would have contacted us, there is no possible way we could have talked about it and returned the message within 48 hours.

Just something to think about.

Hi. Yep, I can't see your profile because you have singles blocked.

Please remember that everything said in reviews is about your profile, not you personally.

Several things about your profile are a bit off-putting: your profile is almost fifteen years old with no certs, your ages are pretty close to the top of your age preferences and there are no public pictures of him. And while I can't really figure out what to change, your profile text sounds like an impersonal corporate brochure. The amount of repetition between the lists of adjectives in Looking For and Description annoys me. Overall the text just strikes me as rather clinical and bland.

I'm not sure how much good your two public pictures are doing you - I'm seeing more rumpled sheets than person. Read other reviews for Velma's DEBauCH system for core photos in you public gallery if Velma doesn't offer her advice in person. Remember to smile and watch for clutter or visual chaos in the background.

You might want to open you interest levels a bit to singles to get more responses here - right now singles are blocked from seeing your profile (no interest but viewable doesn't work as advertised).

Good luck and have fun!
