Hey everyone. I finally got the courage to put up a profile on match.com. I have had a few responses, but nothing compared to the amount of views I have had. I had over 200 views but only like 7 reponses. I have a pic up there and I have worked on my profile and I was wondering if you can take a look at it and tell me if I should make any changes. Its funny, I am in Marketing and write all the time, when it came to this I felt like I was 5 years old. Thanks for your help.

Here it is:

I love to laugh, and it's not too hard to get me going (I am a great audience, so if you need a confidence booster, I'm your girl! :)) I would not say I am a comedian, but I have my moments, sometimes witty, sometimes saracastic. ;). But I should tell you now I can be a little bit cheesy and a goofball. Oh and yes, I do dance around while getting dressed for work.:) I also try not to take myself to seriously and will let loose and have a good time. I can definitely be young at heart.:)

I have a lot of interests and can be spontaneous at times. Like everyone else, I can jump in the car and take off for the weekend, but for me it is not jumping in the car, it is where you are willing to go after you jump in the car. I am usually up for anything. I will try almost anything once and if I like it, I will try it twice;). I can be laid back, stay home get into comfy clothes, curl up on the couch and pop in a dvd. I can be a bit of a hopeless romantic and love those type of settings. Being creative, shows thought and that is romantic.

I consider myself a strong-minded intelligent woman. I am currently getting my MBA in Marketing. I'm not seeking someone who is a brain surgeon or anything, but an intelligent conversation is always nice :).

I am looking for someone who is ambitious, strong-willed, yet is able to compromise and communicate. Trust, loyalty and respect, need I say more? Someone who can make the most out of life and make me laugh. I believe it's important to spend time with your friends and family. Oh, it is quite all right if you are a sports nut. ;) I just want someone that will show me the same respect and support, and include me in their life. I want someone I can be best friends with. Someone that is considerate of others and is not selfish is key for me. I also appreciate someone who does not have to have others approval, and just knows how to be themselves, as well as someone who knows what they want and goes after it.

I posted previously to men, old, & sex. The discussion suggested if you state all you are looking for is sex then you will get alot of responses. I say on the contrary because I get an astronomical amount of responses and I clearly stated that I will never have easy/casual sex and if that is what you are looking for go to your local bar or std clinic. haha. Some might think that is snotty but most guys love it. I have been on match for about 6 months and my profile has 40,000 hits and I have received about 10,000 emails and winks. My friend says it is because men like a challenge, but it also is true to my character. I've also read articles about what you should not say, and I disagree with them. I clearly state the type of guys I don't want, why waste time? It hasn't stopped the emails. haha. Also, just be yourself and not afraid to say what you really want. Many guys tell me they like women who are upfront and honest. A catchy username & headline that shows what you are about/who you are is good too. I can never understand why some can't create an original username, some are like 8939ejk, sure it might mean something but probably not, it lacks imagination and creativity. A catchy one will draw more attention to you and show your witty or creative side. Just some advice you might find helpful. You can look at my profile on match even if you are not a subscriber by doing a username search, I am purest1purist2, read and learn if you would like. lol. best of luck to you.

I think your profile is fine, just spends too much time on the same thing in places.
