Hi everybody-


I am wondering if you wouldn't mind looking at my profile.

Sparkle, I really like the picture with your niece and the office one. They are my favorites :)
Also, I am sure a lot of people here disagree but when I look at someone's profile - I tend to shy away from the once that make statements "looking for my soul mate", "the one", "looking for marriage".
I think it's better to keep you profile rather generic than to the tee because it puts unnecessary pressure on people. I don't believe it will stop the players because the more desperation they sence - the easier target you will become.
Keeping it more vague will give an opportunity to get more contacts and you can always weed out the once you don't like. It's just increases your chances of running into someone that you may like very much.
Just as in real life - it's good to keep a little mystery about yourself - let them contact you and find out more.
We shouldn't take this old too terribly serious to where it becomes as a second job or something - the lighter you are on this - the more easy going and appealing you will be to others. I know we all have our moments but old isn't a solution to all problems, is it?

Hey Sheri...


I have to respectfully disagree with you on the "curvy" == "overweight" part. I think it may be a cultural thing with guys, but the guys I know would think of a woman with curves as a woman who was not skinny... but not necessarily overweight. And the guys I know would also rather a curvy woman... :)

Hey, I'm just the messenger! That's what I've been told by guy friends...that they read "curvy" on a profile as a euphemism for "overweight".

But I don't disagree that many men like women with curves...I'm just saying that in the lexicon of OLD, that's not what (at least some) guys read it as.

Hi Sparkle,
I didn't see your profile before the revision but I think this one is great. It seems to strike a good balance of being serious without taking yourself too seriously, if that makes sense. I think it will keep the players away. Hmmmnnn...I may steal some of that for my profile;) I like the part about your interests running from politics to celebrity gossip. I do the same thing. You're a lovely lady and I think you'll do really well. Just be patient and don't settle. Let them come to you and make them make the effort to deserve you.
Much luck to you,
Chele

I think your profile sounds really good I wouldn't change it except if you do start to get men that are not interested in Ltr's. I do believe it's good to state what you are looking for in a man /and r'ships..

i am not sure what photo you had before but it looks very nice..
