Hi there everyone, I've had my profile up for a couple of weeks but dwindling views and no messages or replies from anyone :(! Feel free to post comments about my profile. I would be interested in knowing what sort of ladies it's appealing to?

I'd almost certainly really like to meet someone younger than myself; I'm not sure if that comes across in my profile (???). Anyway I'm a pretty unusual kind of guy - so not trying to make my profile artificially compatible with a target cohort of women, just being myself.

Also feminine attractiveness is very aesthetic with me, it takes a lot more than "sexyness" for me to fancy someone. I really don't know how to express that in my profile though.

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

I remember you from when you put your profile up for rating before. It's better than I remember it being the last time. Not sure about the bit about not wanting someone with "gender issues". What does that mean? Comes across a bit like you're saying that you want to be the one wearing the trousers or something. If you don't want smokers or heavy drinkers you can just filter them out and I don't think that you have to make a thing about that on your profile. If you are looking for a younger woman you could just say that though, instead of trying to find some obscure way to imply it.

Overall, it's not bad and does give a fairly good impression of what you are like I suppose. I can't really imagine anyone making a fake profile to make people think that they are like you are. They might think that it's a bit of a front and that you are a bit pretentious though. Also, you tend to give the impression that you want a girl that you can be like a teacher to, which some people might think is a bit weird. I don't mean so much what you're saying on your profile here but things that you've posted in the past. If that's your thing you could maybe just find some way to say so that wouldn't sound too creepy but don't say anything about liking teaching young girls gymnastics because that does a bit.

OK if that's not clear to a guy then I'll give it the chop as it will likely be confusing ladies!

If you are looking for a younger woman you could just say that though


Doesn't that piss a lot of women off though? I really don't want to come across as a 1-dimensional guy.

Could you please elaborate on what in the profile makes you think those things? I actually really like a woman who's confident and in control!


So in summary what kind of lady do you think would like my profile?

Hey, I like younger women as well but I'm not only prepared to date them. The problem that I see with you is that with the exception of the physical activities that you're into you come across as being a bit old or old fashioned for a young guy. I'm not just going off what's on your profile now but things that you posted before as well. Presenting yourself as an old fashioned gentleman is liable to do that. I can imagine a girl in her twenties reading your profile and thinking that you're going to bore her by giving her a lecture on particle physics as well.

It's good to be enthusiastic about your interests but talking too much about them will tend to make someone think that you want someone that's going to fit in with your world and that you won't make compromises in a relationship, as you have to if you don't just want to remain single. As far as who I think that your profile might apeal to goes; maybe that posh bird that I went out with a month or so ago but she was in her thirties, so maybe not your type.

Sounds "high maintenance", did she like physics?!

... you come across as being a bit old or old fashioned... I can imagine a girl in her twenties reading your profile and thinking that you're going to bore her

... make someone think that you want someone that's going to fit in with your world and that you won't make compromises in a relationship,

Hmm... in fairness to me I think the single life and not having been in a long term relationship, probably does leave me a bit self centered and unchallenged compared to many my age. On the other hand I also have a very youthful optimism towards romance which would appeal to many younger ladies... if only they got to know me.

Anyway, profile is rewritten again - what do you think now?

I'm really not sure. But maybe a better way to find out, is to ask 'Which of you women like my profile?'. And then that leaves it as a ball in the court on YOUR part.

Well, it is a bit geeky. I don't mean that as an insult because it's something that I've been called myself. I'm not too keen on what you call "pretentious socialising" either and I'm happy enough when I've just got a girlfriend. The thing is though that most women (and especially the younger ones) do like having friends and a social life. What then tends to happen with guys like us is that we end up just getting a casual relationship and that's alright to a certain extent if you're happy doing your own thing and your girlfriend doing hers and just having quality time together.

I mean, I'm not trying to set you up here but you're asking what sort of woman your profile might apeal to and I know another one that's very sporty and enjoys cycling and things like that. She also spends a lot of time traveling and has friends all over the place and getting involved with someone like that would probably mean spending quite a lot of time apart. Oh yeah, she's artistic as well and is a photographer. I know a few girls like that because they are friends of my sister's and before you ask, my sister is married. Her bloke is a bit of a geek actually but their relationship works and although he's a quiet sort of guy, he gets on alright with her friends. That's what I think might put women off you now. You could perhaps be more specific about what you mean by "pretentious socialising" but if you don't like parties or spending time with friends it will tend to make them think that you just want someone that's going to fit in with your world. My dad is like that as well. It's my mum that's the sociable one but he just puts up with it and grumbles about what he calls "hangers on".

Hello again everyone. I've rewritten my profile recently with new photos. Opinions welcome.

I really have had *no* luck on this site - not even one conversation in all these months! With the other site, the main one that I use, I seem to be getting views but very few conversations. In all honesty I don't have a "social life" but have been making an effort with the odd singles event; the crowd does tend to be older than what I'm looking for though - OK I need to make more of an effort this summer!

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

My profile is quite different from what was written back in May. I invite anyone who looked at it before to check it out again.

Seems okay to me......but I am a bloke, my tip is to join in the forums them the girls can see your views on the different topics you post in, after a while you will get interest from girls that agree with you.

Good luck man.
