I think it would be better if you posted more flattering pictures of yourself. You shouldn't hold your head down in pictures and you could smile more. It would be nice if you had a picture of you in a dress or something like that. Another thing that you could improve on is your grammar in the section of your profile, where you describe yourself.


May you please return the favor and tell me what I could improve on.:smile:

Hmmmm Where to start.

Have you ever heard of the term Diamond in the rough? It is a genuine compliment and I think it applies here. You are not only a remarkably pretty woman you have a very interesting and likeable personality.

Like truly stunning diamond you might want to shape the stone into facets and polish it a bit to it's great brilliance to get more attention but that is easy enough.

Your profile is lacking structure not substance. Organize your thoughts in short positive sentences. You have a few that need to be rewritten from the negative form to the positive but don't say something you don't mean. Then arrange in paragraphs. If you get stuck send me and email.

Your pictures are good for the most part. Be smart and forget the sideways poses and get everything so you can see you in a dignified ladylike upright position. While Mom's don't always feel comfortable having their picture taken with practice you can get better results. Keep your camera in your purse and take lots of snaps so you have more to choose from. Outside shots would be a great addition. Remember lighting and a rested appearance is important. Vampires belong in the shadows a desirable woman belongs is soft warm light.

The suggestion that a photo of you in a dress is a good one. Perhaps a skirt and blouse will feel more comfortable to your style. Be yourself and compliment your shape don't flaunt it. So far so good. Men have good imaginations less is more on line. If heels are not your thing at least wear a feminine flat in a full length photo. Guys may think of you in the bedroom but if they don't see and appearance that you are not going to embarrass them on a public date the good ones will pass you by. You are a natural beauty but the famous idea from Estee Lauder "the total absence of cosmetic is the ultimate of vanity" is something to consider.

Hope this is helpful. Welcome to Mingle. Good Luck.

Smart, constructive, and friendly suggestions. You will make friends on Mingle. Welcome.

I would be a little more specifics about your interests ( Example; what kind of music which nursing specialty) and what you would define as a fun date. Easy does it every one is on a budget. A snappy looking lady like yourself should get some attention. Delete the "young" on the young lady; don't advertise yourself to the wolves even the slightest way. Try to ignore/shake off the creepy posts all newbies get. More pictures sounds like a broken record but guys are going to pic you first from a photo and more photos more views. Jump in the forums.

I think the second photo should be your main photo. I won't go into the profile text, since others have already.

Good luck.flowerforyou

Going from left to right top to bottom pictures 2 ,3 ,6 ,9 ,10 are good. In the two body shot pictures (4 and 5)you should smile more if you are smiling. You have a very nice face you just need to have the right hairstyle with it. In your written profile I would probably rewrite it to make it coherent. You seem to jump from one area to the next and all over.

I think you look beautiful. And I always say less, is more. Have fun in your search.

Yes many people do that. In a personal letter it makes it warm and personable. For a profile, which is basically a mini commercial it has to be visual, crisp, and make only a few digestible points in seconds. A date site profile is like one delicious swipe of frosting off the cupcake. The follow up emails reveal the real meat and potatoes of the meal. Unless you are here for friendship that kind of changes things.

Your 3rd picture would be a real good profile picture!
I'd remove the full body shots. If you want to include FB shots, maybe try a different angle (not from that low down) and more flattering clothes.

I didn't read much of the text, too all over the place, sorry.

The only thing i see wrong would be the sideways pics. Maybe a little more about you instead of what you are looking for.
