9 messages received from undesirables so far, but zero replies to the ones ive sent. But let's face it, it's 8:30 in the morning and I only sent my messages late last night :p

Apparently humour is the way to go, as all the messages I've received say how my profile cracked them up.........!

how many messages you send out?

humour is defiantly the way with online dating (although my profile lacks it). the issue is, what sounds funny in your head when your little voice is reading it is, well, friggin hilarious. but in reality, when someone else reads it, you look retarded :p this is where people like you :mad: succeed and people like me fail :p

but didn't you only put your profile up yesterday evening? I mean, those womenz you messaged waz probz in da club all night, now they iz recuuvering from their hangoverz :p
 
Only bout 3 :p I have a habit of looking though the profiles and thinking they're either a swamp donkey, an alcoholic, or too far out my league :D

Tru m8, but it woz well worf it, my bezzies are my lyfff!

haha it is weird how quickly you jump to conclusions on how people are from the little bit of text (and the strangely odd pictures) people use.

but your right, bezzies are wat livin iz 4. cant hav fun wivoot ma bezzies around.

my reference to being clever with text like you seem to be, to add humour, and then it just sounding wrong. I think you should have a gander at HankScorpio profile and dish out some hints, because I missed all the humour in it. I saw it was meant to be there, but seemed worded wrong in some way. he could use your guidance.

If someone is giving tips on profiles can they have a look at mine and help me find out where I'm going wrong?

I had one where I put a lot of thought into it, made sure to display my personality down to a T and it got me nowhere so deleted it. Came back recently and tried out a shorter profile.....months later it's still getting me nowhere.

I have sent, probably about 100+ well-thought out messages to my type of girls, read their profiles and spent about 10+ minutes writing a short but sweet message to grab their attention and they don't even respond with a titter to my creative prose (irony last part)

Well this is my last attempt. If someone here gives me some feedback I might continue with this for a little while longer, otherwise won't bother with it again. Depressing everytime I make a round of messages and get no responses and then see that they viewed me. A simple reply would be courteous ladies... :confused:

Who what where when now? Hank Scorpio? Isn't he that dude from the Simpsons?

indeed he was, but I believe after fighting his way out of his lair he joined OCUK. and obvs seeing as he wasn't the brightest super villain he didn't change his identity :p
 
Easy answer, photo is too weedy, girls will get a "wet blanket" imprssion from it and move on without even reading it.

Sorry to be blunt buddy but that's my genuine impression

Better! However you spelt 'agreement' wrong ;) Oh and I don't really understand the point of the "Because there is no patch for human stupidity." part?

Where do I begin.

1) You look about 18 in your photos. You look like a geeky Kevin Bacon in pic no.2. Pic no.3 is uncool despite your "I'm well cool" pose.

2) What's with the opening paragraph? "I recently made one of these last week and it disappeared. Maybe it was so dull and boring it simply ceased to exist, much like a positron colliding with an electron. I won't put too much in here in case the same thing happens again...is my excuse. ".....That alone was enough to make me want to close the page.

3) "If I was trapped on a desert island, or survived a post-apocalyptic holocaust, what would be the first thing to do?

1)Build a tree house to avoid the mutant fire ants below 2)Get a tank, some guns and lots of rice krispy squares...obviously" - wut?

4) "This is something only the paper fortune teller can decide! But it must include a debate over which is the bestest, The Simpsons or Malcolm in the Middle." - which is the "bestest", Simpsons or MITM? What kind of girls are you after? Spotty american teenage girls?

Sorry. I don't do gentle :o

Gotta agree. 'lol look at me I say 'random' things and I'm so wacky' aren't something anyone actually likes. Also, he sounds like a kid.

It's basically just drivel. You're a grown man Hank, act like it.

A fine line exists between honest criticism & acting like a douche.

Learn it.

Indeed, no harm is sugar coating it a little.

So I've basically said nothing different to what mischief has said and I'm a douche? I suppose it's because I don't have a vagina.

There's a reason he hasn't got any responses and that's because his bio is just awful. It really does sound like he asked a teenager to write it.

The girls he messages who actually look at his profile think this. His pictures aren't awful (they're not amazing but they aren't awful) so once girls get past that, what are they greeted with? Something that isn't befitting of a 24 year old.

Girls/women that are a similar age don't want some guy that's 'wacky' and talks about 'fire-ants'. They want an adult.

I think yours seemed more of a personal attack, where as mischiefs was more of a profile attack :p I know you didn't mean it that way, but text form doesn't show personality and tone in the same way. don't take it personally :)

Like others send out quite a lot of messages, had some replies but mainly nothing, havent bothered with the site for about 6 months but willing ot give it a go again

Struggle putting stuff on profiles find it easier just chatting and letting things flow but obviously profile is what gets people interested in you to start with!

Any help with my profile? :p

Header: "loving_souls : Just because your breathing doesnt mean your alive"

Please correct that. Need to pop out for a bit but I shall review your profile upon my return providing that you've made the appropriate amends to the header. Kthx?
