I would say athletic,average or curvy although that is a thing of debate as far as how interpreted..
Get good ones though,maybe in some workout gear like this (but lose the sweater or jacket) and maybe one in the dress you are wearing in the leg picture here.
As long as what you put is reasonable if you have clear pictures of you it won`t matter much how you describe it.
A guy is going to see a nice,feminine figure.0 -
Ok, I'll find another :-)0

First... Wow! I am really impressed by your new profile (and your positive attitude about this).
It is miles better than the previous one. People have been making great suggestions too!
I really like this pic too, although admittedly you look a bit sad in it.I like the blondish one with the red streak through it.0 -
Ok, this is me right this second, post big dinner ;-)0
-
hey looks like we have similar body types. anyway i think you're safe with a few extra pounds0
-
I would suggest a few extra pounds and having some full body pics up. The reason I say this is if you're in doubt about your body type and you have comments in your profile about being a fixture at the gym and looking for a fit guy, it could be considered deceitful and maybe hypocritical to not live up to the expectations. A guy who meets you for the first time could consider you a little heavy and feel misled if he imagined you to be more average or athletic. I know from personal experience that women who I thought looked okay became very unattractive to me because l felt they lied to me through the pictures and descriptions that were provided.0

ok. thanks!0

i made it few extra pounds.
this is why i wish i could do something about my body. i do live at the gym. LOL i worked out twice on monday, once on tues and once today.
i took 3 months off from lifting and doing intense cardio, so i have to say i don't feel too too bad about how i look knowing that i didn't lift or do HIITS for 3 months, LOL. i was hoping to get my eating and metabolism straightened out. it didn't work.
so, this weekend i am starting a 3 week elimination diet :-) we'll see if that helps any. my stomach is my hardest area to deal with, which is often an indicator of food intolerance. we shall see!!0 -
Hello gorgeous… as promised earlier, here’s my take. Short and sweet. Let me know what you think. I have no pride of authorship so if you don’t use any of my suggestions no worries.
Hello handsome! I am a single mom who’s been divorced for about three years, and I’m looking for that special gentleman to share my full and exciting life! I am spontaneous, outgoing, sweet and thoughtful, and while I’m charismatic and intelligent, I can also be kinda goofy at times!
I have two huge Great Pyrenees dogs that love to go for walks. They don't bite…unless you get on my bad side
I love to hike and mountain bike, and even though I'm no Jillian Michaels, I do my best to live a healthy lifestyle! Perhaps you can join me in this adventure?
Like kids? Good, because I've got a bunch of them. They have a father, so I'm not looking for that, but they do play a large part in my life. Though I am a single mother, I do have the time to put into a relationship for the right man.
My ideal partner would be a man who loves the outdoors, staying in shape, likes animals, is family oriented, and truly loves what he does for a living. I’m not looking to rush into anything, so contact me today… we’ll just take it slow and see what happens.
Why I changed what I did (gang, please note, I wrote this as a PM to her and then decided to post it...am too lazy to fix the grammar and punctuation).
Notes: I tried to liven up the writing some (more action words), took out some things that might be negatively viewed like “old fashioned” Took out adjectives I thought might set you up as a patsy (like “very kind” and “polite and love showing appreciation for others”) or that have negative connotation (why would you have to say non judgmental?). Took out “is good with kids,” because a) you say you have a bunch so he knows this, but then you also say you’re not looking for another father (contradictory). I also took out the drink or smoke. Everyone lies about not smoking. Also, since I, too, prefer someone who doesn’t drink or smoke I can tell you right now THIS will cut out most of the decent guys who will ask you out. I’m serious! When I did a search on “never drinks” on Match I got 7 guys! When I did the next step up I got over 500 guys. This does NOT mean you have to settle for a guy who drinks. It just means you go out on a few dates to get your feet wet, and then you can tweak your profile and add that back in later once your confidence is built up.
The “I’m not looking to rush” line is something I added to the bottom of my profile that really increased the quality of guys who contacted me. A man who used to be in this forum (and dated me for a bit) told me it was because it read like a) I’m not going to rush into sex (drives away the jerks) and b) I’m not in a rush to get married, which makes good guys comfortable that I won’t pressure them into getting married right away because I have some sort of “box” to fill with the first man willing.
And pictures are VERY important. If you don't have anyone to help you take some, ask waiter in a restaurant that has nice plants or backdrop. Store clerks or even people at whatever event you’re at are happy to take your pic if you ask them. I ask people all the time to take my picture at the mall or wherever. They usually look SO much better than ones we take ourselves.
HTH,

Woo hoo! Love the new version!! And, love that everyone is having so much fun with it (and it seems you are as well).
Good luck! 0 -
Janie...I think you are spot on with the changes and advice.0

JJ, great critiques. Absolutely agree regarding "old-fashioned." There are much better ways to word that without sounding like you're wearing a girdle haha. The drinking/smoking thing is a good point too. I wrote "social drinker" on mine even though the first alcoholic drink I've had in months was last night. It doesn't neccesarily mean that person drinks regularly. I would rather meet a person and gauge their drinking habits before judging them on it, and I think it's a smart move too.0 -
LOVE IT JJ!!!
thanks :-)
you all are so awesome!!!
i'll work on some new pics. i forgot my oldest three are going to their grandmas this weekend, so i have to do it today or wait til sun/ mon.
thank you, again!!!0 -

Yeah, but the guys that responded were idiots that don't bother reading. You're gonna get those no matter what. Putting up a profile helps attract the guys that DO read profiles. I get specific responses to my profile all the time, and I just ignore the guys that are like "U R SO HAWT OMG PENIS"0
