Yeah, I think I just wanted to make it a bit more light hearted. Removed offending articles now.

You're not a bad looking chap and look quite stockily built so you need to project confidence and you'll be onto a winner... there are plenty of other ways in which you can be light-hearted without criticizing yourself. :)

Aww thanks, fancy a date? ;)

Yeah, I'll try and see if I can do that. Thanks guys, let me know if you have any other pearls of wisdom.

Yeah, a while back, but here it is againfor further scrutiny: http://www.plentyoffish.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=8807371

Maybe my standards are too high? I just see most of the women on there and I just feel the bile building up in the back of my throat... :D

In my opinion you need an introduction. Don't just want your music tastes straight up. Also, the word eclectic is used by just about everyone, try to thing of something more poetic to say :p.

The whole not taking life to seriously bit, even though its in the context of humour could still be miscontrued, especially at the age of 27. I'd change it to something else.

Your phrase about like to travel but wanting to someone to share the experience with needs to change. It sounds needy and sounds like you can't enjoy yourself without someone or that you don't have anyone to at all! May be true but definitely phrase it differently. Change it to something citing your love of travel, but how more enjoyable it is with someone etc etc

The chef part is pretty good, but it's stuck in their randomly as if you've actually just wanting to say that. Remove it and re-add it where you describe your ethnicity. eg I'm part Italian, greek, so yes, I'm an avid and talented cook or whatever...

I wouldn't say you don't like sports and just go to the gym, it sounds quite insular and dosen't in my opinion convey the right message. Keep it vague and say you look after yourself with various forms of exercise etc.

Can't really comment on the Tattoo part seeing as I dislike tattoo's immensely and form strong opinions, but I'd suggest being a bit more vague about getting more done in the future to avoid coming across as a guy whose going to end up 90% tattoo.

Finally, end on a positive note. Rephrase from hating text speak to someone who is serious and is looking for the same challenge that you expect of them etc. End with a nice comment/phrase/quote.


Just my 0.02c
 
Also the pictures need to change. Whether it's the order or whatever. Having a photo with those dire glasses as the main photo would cause many people to click off without bothering to read the tiny subtitle underneath it....

Also you're tall and not a complete skinny so make the most of this. The photo's don't convey a sense of masculinity that through your stature you'll have a natural advantage in. :)

Would also consider hiding the tattoo's not only because I don't like them, but because it's a nice talking point, can be flirty etc....


Oh and change your title, again dosen't sound right.



Hope you don't think I'm being picky, I could many more holes if I was being as picky as girl. ;) You've got a great starting base, make the most if it.
 
Gah, it's so annoying getting things just right. I don't have many photos taken of me and I'm not the kind of guy who takes myspace style photos of himself.

I did have my music tastes listed down but it's a stupid list, my music taste is just too varied.

This is mine now I'm back on PoF. Already talking to someone new and as usual with me its moving very fast! For a change she's 4 years older, I usually seem to attract the young ones. She has a daughter too, which is a new thing on me, should be interesting :)

If you want I'll read over your profile later and critique it for you?

First thing I'd say is change your photo order. Your last 3 are considerably better than the starting ones, especially in terms of body language etc. :)

I know, I really don't know what to put to make it interesting. :( I'm terrible at writing about myself and I'm pretty sure my life isn't as dull as my profile makes out. Maybe. :o

I thought it read fine personally! You seem like a nice guy! I'd do you (no homo)

Oh, and I think I have a date with the American girl. Back of the net!

OOops, I was talking about Dup, I hit the wrong quote button, lol.

Your profile is good too though I think, although you've spelled descent incorrectly :)

You mention sense of humour being important, why not list of a couple of your favourite comedy films/TV shows/comedians? I always find that's a good way of telling what kind of sense of humour someone has :)

PS. I know nothing about this stuff, so feel free to ignore me.
