Profile- Honest opinions please

Hello all:

I've been periodically popping about this board when I get a chance. The one thing that I love is that there are so many varied personalities, experiences, and HONEST opinions. If you don't mind, I have a favor to ask.

As I have posted before, I have been OLD for about 2 1/2 years with some success. Well I have been back on for a few weeks now, and am getting very little responses compared to my previous experiences. I orginially started with my old profile from last fall. And then tweaked it a couple of times. I have 4 pictures posted- 2 from last week, 1 from Decemeber, and 1 from August. I'm now definitely thinner, cuter, and I think my profile is more upbeat than in the past- but still very few men are reaching out to me and even fewer responding to my winks/teases/emails.

I normally like to preserve my anonymity on these message boards, but I'm going to break my own rule today. I have a profile up on match, called sarasmile1976. I have the same profile up on another site and then I believe old profiles up on a few other sites that I rarely visit.

What I was hoping for is, if you all wouldn't mind, could you please take a look at my profile and help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or right? I am open to any and all constructive criticism.

Thank you! I appreciate any insight you might be able to provide!

Yeah I think that was a valid point and I'm a believer that if someone asks for an opinion that they want a straightforward answer and not the watered down one they'll get from their girlfriends over coffee.

Here pictures weren't the problem though it was all the cliche that may doom her to Ms. Match 2005 Contestant status.

NGOL-I was not offended by anything you said at all. I simply offered my opinion of yours. I thought it was tacky to make mention of her scar. JMHO. I think anyone who finds it necessary to mention it right off the bat would be considered tacky in my book.

They say that opinions are like A$$holes...everyone has one.

My main point of that post was that I thought she handled it beautifully.

No need to shrug.

I'd take out "Happy Girl Seeking Laughter and Love (in that order)" Because that is already your headline -- it's repetitive. I also agree with lg in regards to "Yes, I know I'm constantly updating my profile." sounds like you're a serial dater, after all the only people who'd notice that are people that keep looking at your profile and not contacting you, a bit weird, so new guys wouldn't notice so don't mention it.

And when you say: "I do have a closet full of dress up/work clothes- but I'm a flip flop girl at heart. (See I even have a dress and pearls on in one of my pictures.)" You're saying you're a flip-flop girl at heart and the example you give is the dress and pearls... I'd put that example next to where you mention the work clothes, not the flip-flops, otherwise it sounds like you're not a flip-flop girl after all.

The rest is just way too long, I admit I haven't read it all :)

The pics are great, I thought the one with the scar was cool, it's there for all to see, if I guy won't like it, better know upfront than when meeting!
