Hi! I'm not new here. I'm mostly curious to hear from women who found my profile photo attractive enough to look at my profile, but then decided to pass me by because of something they read. What was it that made you lose interest? Any other thoughts about how to improve my profile are also welcome.

Well, my first thought is: you haven't been seen on here for over a month. Maybe you're not even using this site anymore, so why should I spend anymore time reviewing the rest of your profile?

The OP said he just wanted to hear thoughts from women 45 and younger, yet the vast majority of responses are from men, making it harder to find the responses from women. smh

The original post asked for one the one deal breaker... and then list a few. I don't know if anyone has just one deal breaker. I have a few.

Different faith
Smoker
Pets in the house (I have sinus issues)
No physical attraction
Still raising children
Wants to have children
Drinks a lot or uses recreational drugs (I'm not 420 friendly)
Politically liberal
Not interested in getting married

I also find it annoying when a woman almost immediately wants to take communications off of this site, but still only wants to text. Then, it usually doesn't take long for them to ask for money. If you don't want to send messages on here, then how about chatting on the phone?

Sorry if I'm ranting a little bit, but I've been at this for a while and all I seem to get is scammers.

If a woman is local or just a short drive away, then I'm pretty open to meeting early on to discuss compatibility on various issues. But if meeting is going to involve hours of driving or maybe even a flight, then there are a number of issues that I want to be sure we are compatible on before I make that trip. Somewhere on that list is going to be the subject of sexual compatibility. Because, while sex is not the only thing I'm interested in, it is one of them. And I'd like to be sure that it isn't going to be a problem, before making a long trip to meet.

I agree with Mortman for the most part. I was thinking that you might consider using the photo of just your face as your main profile photo. Also, having some kind of full-body shot seems to be helpful and appreciated. I think that, when you get more used to looking through these profiles, you'll start to identify things you'd like to see. Then, just include the same kind of things in your own profile.

I realize you haven't asked for my input on this, but I was thinking that, as a relatively new believer, maybe you aren't yet familiar with verses like Psalms 12:15, 13:10 or 27:9. Personally, I take advice wherever I can get it. :) Take care and God bless.

I'd say your first task is to put up a picture. Many people only look at profiles with pictures. Seeing someone when you first meet them is kind of the natural order of things.

Apparently, Mingle2 puts some effort into removing offensive language from profiles. Following are some words that Mingle2 has altered to delete potentially offensive words (and the resulting words that Mingle2 has change them to). I think they're funny.

medical assistant (medical istant)
good attitude (good atude)
passively listening (pively listening)
passionate and compassionate (pionate and compionate)
classy (cly)
pass me by (p me by)

I would assume you can also not use words like stitch and accumulate. As a matter of fact, you probably can not use the word assume, either. :)
