Who wants to write an online profile for me

[naeljun]

As many of you know, I have literally been on 2 dates since my separation over 4 years ago. I have been on POF and men do reach out to me but they are nobody I would ever want to go out with. EVER.

Think it may be time to go back on match. Who wants to write a profile or edit my current profile for me?

I don't think anyone can write it for you but we can offer suggestions! If you feel comfortable post it, people are usually pretty kind and helpful when I have seen this in the past.

I posted mine once and had a few really good suggestions on how to tweak the things I had already written. I met T online, so it must have worked

Don't leave us hanging here!

Post it! Post it!

[naeljun]

oh Sorry. I completely forgot. Give me a few.

Here you go:

I am kind, generous, and caring and looking to date someone who has similar interests while maintaining individuality; I do like my own time and personal space. I think that being by yourself and still maintaining your friendships while in a relationship is very, very important.

Some of my favorite things are hanging out with my beautiful little girl, cooking, reading, spin. I love movies and getting so engrossed a book that time just flies. Live music whether at a dive bar or a huge stadium. I love Springsteen and go to Buffett every year. Hanging out with friends for Sunday Bloody Mary's on the deck or just to watch TV. The RedSox at Fenway and Patriots at Gilette, although I will watch from my couch just the same.


I would like to meet someone who is funny and genuine with a good heart. A guy who loves to travel and can be just as happy hanging in as going out. If you happen to look good in a baseball cap, that's just an added bonus. If you are outgoing and an extrovert, that is a good thing too. I love meeting new people and can talk to just about anyone.

Some of my favorite places are the beach, a really good restaurant, a fun pub on a comfortable bar stool with a great beer, Hawaii, on the ocean, Grand Cayman.

If any of this interests you, send me an email

I think it's actually pretty good the way that it is. I would change up the first paragraph to:

Being kind, generous, and caring are things that are important to me. I'm fortunate to have great friends and they are an important part of my life.

I'd take out the whole part of personal space. It sounds like you are bringing baggage in where you didn't have that in past relationships. Or I would reword it to soften it a lot, and stick it at the end or in the middle. Not in the beginning.

Thanks BK. I'm glad it doesn't suck but it surely doesn't answer why I don't get quality men. Maybe it is the location I live in.

Online dating is hit or miss.
In my case, mostly miss.

You have to weed through the crappy 99% to get the decent 1% but one is all you need right?

[naeljun]

that's true. We just talked about this at lunch. I'm going to keep plugging away. I may go back on match. I haven't been on there in a couple of years.

That's a really good picture of you. And I like the suggestions for your profile.

If I may make one pet peevey correction: bloody marys, not bloody mary's.

My goodness, how did I miss that?!?! I'm so critical of poor grammar. Thanks for catching for me.
