Okay - I need advice on my page.. is it too lengthy? How are my pictures? I tried posting pictures with friends, my activities, and a good close up. I added what I'm looking for and a little bit about myself.

Thoughts?

    I think all of the pictures are great. The beginning is a tad long. I started skimming through it. Maybe just make it a bit more concise. Other than that, I think it looks good :)

    What she said.. also about the weight loss thing, normally that's something I reserve for if I actually get close to someone. I don't know if this is what you want, but it might encourage "bigger" women to contact you because they think you'll be okay with it. If they're attempting to lead a healthier lifestyle too, then cool, but a lot of people aren't.

    Just my two cents though. Other than that, I'd post your MOST favorite television shows and movies, and not list too many. Post the ones that you really love or the ones that really moved you. When I look at those things about people, if they have a ton I won't look, but if they have just a select few it can tell a lot about a person I think.

    Ok - Cool! The more brief the more curious. Cool! :)

    Overall it looks like a good profile, or at the very least, the type of profile I'd be tempted to send a message out for. I agree that you might want to edit your music/movie selections... my eyes tend to glaze over when I see so many. Don't know if I'm the only one who does that, but I tend to just skip over that section when it's too long (more than 10). Otherwise, I really like that you have a variety of pictures, both action shots and close-ups.... and personally I like seeing a few group shots, especially if there are enough OTHER pics that I can easily identify the guy in question in the pic.

    Good luck!

    I think it's a pretty solid profile. I'd take out the part about the weight loss though. Pictures are good.

    In conclusion, I'm seeking a female friend or companion who will be able to bring something new to my life, rather it’s a new hiking trail, jogging route, new restaurant, new band/artist, new movie, different wine, or a new place to travel to.

    Are you just looking for friends?? Cos this paragraph seems to me like you are!

    If you're looking for a relationship/girlfried/lover I would use those words. And I wouldnt dwell on what SHE can bring to YOUR life. It kinda puts a girl under pressure. I would either focus on what you can do together and/or what you can give to her!!

    To me, it lacks passion for finding a girlfriend, but if its just a hiking buddy you want, then cool :flowerforyou:

    I love your pics!! :bigsmile:

    To answer your question, I did state that I was looking for a friend or girlfriend.. Maybe I should choose between the two. And I like your idea on wording the statement to suggest things I could bring to the table vs what she could bring to the table.

    Thanks for liking my pictures. :)

    I agree with some of you. Maybe I'll take out the weight loss section and remove the picture. I thought that could be a convo starter which it has been in the past.. Some would just send over a "Congratulations on the weight loss" when I email them.

    yeah, I will narrow down my movie list to my top 3 - 5 or so. Good idea. I don't want my whole life in my profile but a few details that might be interesting or strike up a convo.

    Thanks Y'all!
