ok so I have been lurking for months now.....so I thought I would introduce myself...32 yr old, living in a mid sized city that has a definate country feel...the city is full of engineers and rednecks...(and some redneck engineers!)...I am divorced less than 6 months but knew the 10 year marriage was over this time last year just took me that long to give up........currently on the road for my job so not actively looking...thought it was the perfect time to take a break, hide the profile and show up with "new profile and pics"
so here is my profile. Please feel free to rip it to shreds.....it seems to me that no matter what I post I attract 38 yrs old plus......

About me and who I'd like to date
I’ll take a hour at the gym over an hour more sleep. I'd rather watch hockey than a chick flick. ------- others have said that I’m “a little bit animated”, “fun to be around”, “very sweet”, and “a real cutie” (They said it, I didn’t!). ------But most important to me, my close friends tell me I’m someone they can always count on to listen and be a source of support------ I am looking to find someone who is confident in their own life.

Hi, teri, welcome to the board! It's kind of late for the easterners to reply, so I'll get things going.
I really don't get a sense of your personality. We need to inject a little humour, a little bit more detail to get who you are across.

First of all, 99% of the profiles have "my friends say" and mention a fireplace. They have become commonplace, and that's not you, is it? The important thing here is what YOU think about yourself. Some ideas:
About me and who I want to date:
I am a good natured professional woman in a very uncommon field. My job is very rewarding and interesting. No two days are alike. Away from work, I enjoy being very active: going to the gym, the movies, hiking, going to hockey games . Travel rates high on things I love to do.
I appreciate self-confident men with a desire for adventure, a sense of humor and a optimistic outlook on life.

Just a couple of suggestions.
Good luck!!
Hi Teri,
Good profile, true cool! I think the only thing I might change is the part where you describe you per "what my friends" ,or others, say about you. Make it first person,.ie, be confident enough to put a check mark by your many good qualities, and it sounds like you have a lot! :)
ie, "I am outgoing,fair minded,athletic and charming.". That shows that you have confidence in who you Are. I have been in a great relationship from OLD that began 5 months ago, and gets better all the time, so hang in there! He tells me that the positive tone in my profile is what drew him to me. I am 49, and a trainer, kickboxing instructor, and look younger than I am. Still, it is your good attitude that pervades. HOW many drop dead gorgeous people have you met that ruin it by opening their mouth, and sounding rude or prejudiced? Brad Pitt in a Matt Damon suit....hmppfgh!
Best o luck!
Truly,
Cupcake
Lol Amjay,
"Two great minds with the same great thought" on the part where Teri shows them what She likes about herself.
Also really like your "I appreciate" interjection. Let them know what you like and respect, too! I also like the fact that T did not take a trip to "Idon'tsville"...one "I don't like" after another, and it looks like you are reading "The Autobiography of Eeyore".
Go Teri!
Truly,
Cupcake
