Would really like someone to rate my profile.

Note: All caps means you are SCREAMING.
First thing that I noticed.

Might I suggest you take the negative out of your About Me section.

The only people that NEED a warning are the ones that need a warning.
Is that who you are looking for?
Someone that needs warnings?

Nice use of interests links - yes those are links (click on one).

All relationships start with friendship first.
You are looking for an activity partner at 68 which says a lot to anyone with half a brain.

Some things might be better left to one on one personal interaction and discussion.

Personally, I would pass you by from what you have written.
Everyone wants to laugh and have a good time.
You really don't give anyone much of an idea of what you really want to get out of this.

Do you really want an activity partner?

Dating profiles are meant to be PERSONAL to attat a personal response so someone that can identify with you can identify with you.

But hey, I'm me and you are you, do what you want.

Start again ,the pics are too dark and the all caps text with no paragraphs is hard to read

^^^^ What Tom and Freebird said.

Hi Maggie,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I admire you for trying to make new connections with people.
Yes, I agree about taking out the all caps. I think it would help.

Thank you all for your advice which I took. Please rate again!

It looks better but almost all of your interests are still in capital letters and that will cause some to overlook your profile. I would put the interests in lower case letters. Just a thought.....

Hi Maggie,
It looks so much better!
I'm glad you changed the content in the A little about me: section. It gives off a much more positive energy and message, glad you changed it from all caps too.

I noticed you started off fine in the Interests: section, but then went to all caps.

I was a little confused about the last line of it, asking them to call you, though. Your profile states you didn't want to give out your phone number for safety reasons.
Overall, it looks much better.

Thanks made the changes

Thanks Susan made the changes. I appreciated all the help you all gave me.

Second look (still not interested but Not because of your profile, sorry), Granted, I can never tell you what you need to do.

I will not give out my phone number is kinda a given to anyone that understands online personal security.
That being said, let's move on.

You have told me what you are not.
Some might find this enlightening.
If I were interested in you, I want to know what you ARE.

Your mileage preferences are already established in your email preferences (Live within 50 miles) and I can personally identify with that.
No reason to waste space repeating what you already established?
Gotta remember, when someone vies your profile, they view your entire profile.


I love this!
It tells me many things about you and gives me the urge to actually meet you.
After all, isn't that the whole point?
Good job!

One thing you should remember about INTERESTS.
What you write is clickable.
If you write "Camping at lost river banks" the only people that will match is people that wrote "Camping at lost river banks" in their profile.
Yet if you write "Music" you will match with every single person that wrote "music" as an interest.

The trick is to be specific but not so specific you are the only one.
If you are too general, you get the results as if you did a blind search.

"Looking For A Relationship" is a wise choice.
All interactions are relationships (think about it).
It allows you to find someone that is looking for something more than a casual fling (although, a casual fling is also a relationship).
But hey, we know what it means.

Some things to consider when writing yer profile (ifn yer looking for a relationship):

Some positive things about yourself - usually something that describes your take on life.
Things that you REALLY want to find in the person that is right FOR YOU.
An expression that allows your potential partner to understand that you are able to accommodate certain deviations from your preferred expectations.

Far better than most Maggie, I'd point out that you say "please just call me", which I understand but it's impossible without a number. ;-)

Good point knowing that you NEVER want to put your phone number on the internet.

Hi Maggie,
Your Welcome!
I see you've made additional changes , and I'm glad you completed that last line about calling you :-)
It looks Terrific!

Thank you to all who helped me put together a much better profile especially Susan!

Wish me luck!

Maggie

Better pics will also help

You are Wonderful Maggie.
Best of Luck!

YOU'RE WELCOME MAGGIE!
