I just updated it again, trying to make it sound more positive. Looking for any comments.

Cheers

My blunt comment: your profile is like a complete carbon clone of about twenty-three thousand four hundred and seventy three men on there... give or take a few. It contains no uniqueness or originality that will attract any women of note on the site, and looks like you couldn't be arsed to create a profile of meaning and so copied and pasted a standard dating site template that contained some of the most popular cliches in one convenient package.

(I'm not purposefully trying to be a git, i'm giving you an honest appraisal based on my experience with the sites).

If I was signed up on POF I'd probs write some about quirks I have.

Such as, the fact that when I use the microwave I turn it on and off 3 times and slam the door to make sure it's not going to turn back on in the night and blow up.

Then again, that is borderline crazy I suppose.

Fuzz · 17 Sep 2008 at 21:29

Yea umm that's the last thing I'd be writing on there, making myself look a crackpot isn't going to win me any ladies

hi DezUk - profile sounds ok to me. only a couple of things i would point out (and you may think this is silly) but the first is that you've spelt restaurant wrong. I was reading an article about internet dating the other day and one of the profile tips was making sure everythings spelt correctly. (i know, probably a typical woman thing to say!)

the other is the below comment about playing hard

I work hard and play hard but you won’t know how hard unless you want to find out

obviously i dont know what kind relationship you are looking for but normally when ive had a guy say that to me at first i've thought nothing of it but then eventually found that they are a bit of a player.

like i said i dont know what you're looking for and im not making judgements just thought id let you know how it can read to some people. i would just keep it as "i work hard and play hard"

A girl giving dating advice on OcUK...I think the world is about to implode.

Fuzz · 17 Sep 2008 at 23:13

hahahaa.... If only she was closer

Hey thanks for the advice. I did type it up late last night so I'll blame the dodgy spelling on that

Holy crap! What weird twist of fate!

I was supposed to be meeting someone for an unofficial pseudo-date, but delays on the tube meant I couldn't make it.

So I head back, slightly annoyed, and happen to find that the girl above mailed me back on BP.

Just been chatting to her on msn for the past 30 mins!

HOT! And really cool from what I can tell, very easy to talk to, and I don't generally chat to randoms in MSN.

Margaret · 18 Sep 2008 at 21:59

Get in there...and show her your critical error.

krooton · 19 Sep 2008 at 09:32

Oh my!

I can't say I've ever chatted to someone I didn't know at all for 5 hours solid! lol!

She's an absolute sweetheart, and gorgeous!

Red and White · 19 Sep 2008 at 09:35

Why am I single?

Everyone is single at some point, she split with a long term bf beginning of the year, so has been taking some time out

As for the catch? She doesn't currently live in London, but she is looking to move here soon.

Good Luck !

Ah looking for a visa is she?

Nah only kidding, and just to echo your earlier comments about Cape Town and clubbing... I worked there for about a year and Jo'burg and Cape Town certainly have their fair share of hotties :cool:
