Tomorrow is my photoshoot with my aunt for my OKC account (I'm telling her that this is the first photoshoot since I was 18 and that this will boost my self-confidence, which is also true)
So once I get the photos I am reactivating my OKC account. This literally took me over two hours just to figure out how to write the summary. This is NOT too long. The bold parts are all questions that OKC asks and I kept everything simple, so I am happy with the length, but I would like reviews on how my profile looks and anything can be change. Oh, and of course I'll share the photos with you tomorrow! Thank you in advance! My self-summary My Story Lucky Ducky is my middle name. My best traits are my smile, my laugh and making others laugh, and paying it forward by spreading kindness to others. I love breaking through the concrete jungle in my trusty Old Mule while on a coastal drive, and I am happiest when I am with my loved ones. My dream house is my grandparents house because I’ve spent much of my childhood there picking guavas, playing army with my cousins during holidays, and it’s “the house that built me”. My Perfect Match I am looking for a LTR with someone who can care for me, make me laugh, and be my best friend through thick and thin My Ideal Date A romantic picnic What I’m doing with my life I am a FT caregiver for the elderly, and I am expecting this to be a lifelong career. I am pursuing further education provided by this company to better myself as a caregiver, and I am considering other educational pursuits such as obtaining certificates as a CNA and taking JC classes for nursing. I’m really good at Winning! I've won so many different things from makeovers to expensive wine to baseball and concert tickets. Meeting celebs! Deadmau5 wore and signed my mau5head; I worked as an extra under Kari, Grant, and Tori from Mythbusters; I've held hands with Michael Franti; and I've met all my fave local DJs. Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food I enjoy non-fiction books about science, nature, and mental illness. Fictional books must challenge me as a reader and a writer or I don't bother. Oh Brother Where Art Thou? is the one movie I can watch over and over and still laugh at (and sing along). I've never had a bowl of mac n cheese I didn't like. Six things I could never do without 1. Dad's BBQ 2. Girl talk 3. A night of friends, pizza, wine, munchies, and Rocky Horror 4. My trusty steed, the "Old Mule" 5. My iPod nano collection 6. My inner voice I spend a lot of time thinking about The needs of my clients On a typical Friday night I am Having a glass of wine and watching a feel-good movie! You should message me if You are looking for a LTR and would enjoy meeting up for a cup of coffee before hitting the town (or the coast) on an adventure! |

What I am asking is that is the quality good? What impression do you get from my profile? What can I add or subtract? What would make you want to learn more? Am I good enough for a message or a date? And once the photos are up, am I relationship worthy?

There's something that feels off about this profile...I'm looking at it and pretending that I'm a single person just browsing profiles and I can tell you that I would personally not reply to yours. I think it's coming off as if you're trying a bit too hard. There is an information overload, and the comment about "I am looking for a LTR with someone who can care for me" doesn't feel right either.

Well I would definitely get rid of the "I am looking for a LTR with someone who can care for me" part, just because it can come across as needy.
As for what else? It's hard to say. I'll try my best to explain: You give so much information that it becomes glaringly obvious how many of your interests I don't share, so it's easy to think "We'd have nothing in common" and pass you over. Whereas if you gave less information, I might be curious to get to know you further. With all this text laid out, it feels like reading an essay, which is not fun and makes me want to move on! |

I'll see what other members have to say...I don't want to change anything based off one member.

I think it's the same as with your previous profile. Its good and It's shorter but still too long. Too many details.
People won't read it. It also has several cliches such as "breaking through concrete jungle" or "making other people laugh" or "hitting town on adventure" etc It seems like I saw same thing in many profiles when I dated. You can say that you are looking for a long term relationship, you love to read non Fiction, you enjoy your job with elderly because you can learn a lot from them and you enjoy helping others, and you have funny unique thing like you win competitions and you met many celebrities. That's all you need. Everything else share on a date. Also free sites are mostly hook ups, so men won't care what books you read, they will only look at pictures. More serious men who do care what you read are on paid sites. But of course there are exceptions. |

Lucky ducky is my middle name ...sounds very pornish. The others are right too much detail and too eager.

There's nothing wrong with meeting people online, but there's no reason why you can't try looking in person as well. Just don't be surprised that you'll run into way more guys just looking for something casual on a dating site. |

Heck I've met my husband on online dating site and he is great. Using dating sites doesn't make you a quick...at all You asked what to change in your profile. I personally suggested to shorten it, take details out and eliminate cliches. I thought you asked what to change? Please don't give up. Just give basic descriptions in a natural manner. Like you'd be introducing yourself in person. Also Maybe try paid site? |

I've literally been planning this photoshoot out for over a month and my profile still isn't good enough to be up and ready. It's so overwhelming.

Hang in there. Your profile doesn't need to be great. You just have to introduce basics about yourself.
