Lower? Compared to some things I’ve discussed around here, my reputation can only go up.
Here I am. (Don’t forget to read the journal.)
I lol’d.
Put the Bel-Air part at the end, not the beginning, or eliminate it entirely.
Don’t mention the porn. Guys watching porn is kind of a given - mentioning it so prominently marks you as kind of a loser.
And, use as your main picture one that actually shows your face. Maybe the one with you scratching your neck.
Also, I am disqualified from dating you. Darn.
Nooooo!
Shucks.
My nefarious plot was to lure chicks with a mysterious picture. :rolleyes:
You seem crushed.
Yeah. I’m in.
RobotArm:
Nice profile. If I were single, I’d be messaging you.
According to OkCupid you match me more than half the girls on the site. :rolleyes:
I was just kidding- I’m not in.
But as for critiquing yours, Melon, I think you should erase the part about moving to Seattle soon- who wants to start dating someone who’s going to move? And the part about being unemployed. “Writer” is enough- anything else right now is none of their business, and makes you look like a possible loser.
Oh, I just saw the ‘sexual deviant’ part. Abort, abort! It’s not going to come off as anything other than creepy.
If the girl’s never been on /b/, she won’t get the reference and won’t think it’s witty. And if she has been on /b/, well, IIRC that meme is older than Jesus riding on a dinosaur, so it’s not gonna score you any originality points. The V mask is enough of a signal to any /b/itches, no need to go overboard.
Nope, too many fish in the sea to be “mysterious”. You’re not bad looking, show them that.
And yeah, I rarely see a post of yours that I don’t have some level of vehement disagreement with. So I wasn’t really too distraught.
Makes hasty edits.
No I thought it had great rhythm. Makes mine look shit.
I’ll likely wind up getting rid of the Bel-Air rap… but for now it stays. It’s my baby! That was like five minutes of work!
Got rid of the porn mentions, agreed with that.
Changed “Unemployed” to “Artistic/Musician/Writer” or whatever.
Robot Arm, I liked that profile. Pretty chatty. I wonder whether it could be jazzed up a little but I dunno.
I don’t know- I’m 41 and consider myself very sexually enlightened, and I would never answer a personal ad that declared the owner to be a sexual deviant. That is not a good thing- sounds scary and it’s just as easy to find someone that doesn’t claim to be one.
I’ve not posted to this thread, but since I’ve been looking at profiles, I figured it’d only be fair to shar mine as well:
This too. Even when I was younger and in my more sexually “free” days - would not have worked. Too creepy.
Actually, some of the girls who have talked to me started by bringing that up. I guess it’s like a conversation item. Maybe you’re right and I’d get a better response if I took it out, but from my (super limited) OkCupid experience it’s intrigued a few of 'em.
I uploaded a few more pictures, they all look pretty much the same. Been a while since I bothered taking any of myself. Any hint as to which one I should use as my default and the two others that pop out when you cursor over me?
I think the neck-scratching one is most flattering, use that as the main one. The other two - maybe the one with your hand by your nose, and also the one that’s your current main shot.
The one that’s just your grimace and chin is intriguing, but if you’re going to have a not-full-face shot, the current main one is better.
