When you check me out, profile and such, what do you see -- and, of course, do you like it or not? Is there anything I can do to make it seem more 'real'? I just need to know if I seem 'real' to people, because that's what I want my first impression on others to be...


This is just testing out the waters, since this is the very first dating site I've ever been on. I'm far from conceited and I apologize if I come off that way...

Looks real enough to me.

Okay -- real : 1
not-real : 0

Hey, it's a good start. >.>

Basics are good, I would suggest another paragraph or two about yourself, maybe a little history, maybe a little more about what you're looking for specifically -- I would lose the "I've never really been too good about talking about myself" line; that's a red flag, suggests either an underlying insecurity or an unwillingness to open up (it's like someone going "Er....Umm...." while trying to come up with something to say) --

Other than that, it looks really good. It should play well here.

REAL............ NEED A LITTLE SMILE

I just had a look at your profile, I think nothing to worry about, just one remark and this is a personal one, don't put to many message filters on your profile

if you are real then we know your more than just a picture and words. I'm real thats why I don't have a problem telling my flause.

I think any chick that's into online rpgs rocks! Just out of curiousity, what do ya play?

Okay. Thank you. ^^ I'll get on that right now.

Hehe... ^///^
Well I work with a lot of them. What do you have?

Nothing right now. I canceled all of em so I can get caught up on bills. Was into eq2 and lotro for a bit. I'm seriously lookin forward to conan. It's about time we get a good M rated pvp no mercy game to play.

For THIS being YOUR first site for dating......

IT and YOU, and YOUR PROFILE. "LOOK" and "READ" just GREAT!!!

A smaill smile would be a plus, but no big deal....

WELCOME HERE, and I hope YOU get to meet SOME people HERE that YOU can CALL your FRIEND!!!


You seem nice and your doing GREAT...GOOD LUCK!!!!

The only one I still have continuing is Final Fantasy 11 Online. Which is awesome -- long and tedious at certain parts but awesome none the less.

I did have an account with WOW but then I forgot the password and gave up, finally finding the password after a bit then just deciding to shut down the account. >.< But I guess it's okay since I hadn't gotten that far anyway... at least not that I can remember... ^^;

But what I was really talking about role-playing -- like, uhm ... well I guess it's like giving people characters to play and they write out what their characters do, thereby weaving a story together. XD It's really fun, especially for me since I'm a writer by trade and passion.


P.S. : Lex -- I fixed up my profile a bit. I think I'll be able to add some more later though... I just have to think of it. ^^;

I think your profile looks great...tells exactly what you do and don't want...I think it's a good thing to block certain people from IMing you...you obviously have a good head on your shoulders...Much luck...there are some really good guys on here...but there are also some on here that go right to the sex thing...lol...you can tell who does and doesn't read your profile LOL

Thank you!
:nods: I'm sure I'll need the luck. ^^;

Thanks Sherry. :p
I've already figured that some guys go straight for the sex. That's why I put up the message blockers that I did. That and it's a little more than fishy when you're 18 and the guy who's 'just talking' to you is like 50 or something. :shivers:

Oh. Okay, thanks. I'll guess I just forgot about that. >.<
I'll go change that now. :scurries off to edit profile:

:hurries back to check on thread:
Hmmm... okay, current tally --

Real : 8

Fake : 0

Huh...only 8? There have been like 100 views and only eight comments?! Weird... >.>
<.<

I took a look and it's definitely better. I think I can get a better "take" on who you are this way. And the spacing between the paragraphs makes it a lot easier to read.

The views-to-comments ratio is not unusual. Lots of people are going to look (some of them over and over) and many will never say a word, or e-mail or anything.

My advice is to keep posting in the forums; that's how you get to be "known" here -- and it's clear you have the intellect and the writing skills to get noticed!

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks Lex. ^^
