am only starting, discovered you through a man here in Ireland who is getting women

to visit his farm every month!....he concentrated on the fact that his major interest

is in his work..equestrian. and the fact that it is a beautiful country...that is his

backdrop!

I would not mind a profile makeover, I thought the article was insightful, and would be curious about what what an expert would say about my profile. I've been on Eharmony for about 3 weeks and have been having fun with it. I would take any advice though, to make the most out of it. Peace!

I have canceled my membership in eHarmony because in 2 years Ive only met 4 people. I sent 5 questions to almost every match I received. Many did not even respond one way or the other and some who closed the match did not give any feedback. Several people closed with the comment, "no chemistry". I was surprised that chemistry could be discerned without meeting someone in person. One person was matched with me one day, I sent 5 questions and he replied back immediately with a close due to "not being ready to take the next step". I am 66 years old, 5'8" tall and weigh 160 lbs. I would really like to know if my profile stood in my way of meeting more people.

Hi,

I've been with e-harmony for a few months now and am like "Miss April" as I'm 49 years old - but there's a huge difference - I have a 10 year old son. He's fantastic, but I don't want my potential dating partners to think that they'll come second, or that I won't be any fun because I really need to have fun and am willing to try different activities. How can I improve my profile - a lot - because I seem to be contacting everyone and not getting any initiated contacts for the most part. Is this a double challenge for everyone? I don't know, but I'd love some help. Thanks.

I must surely be the perfect candidate for a profile makeover. I just moved from a southern state to a northern state with a job transfer. I don't know anyone here. I am starting a new life at age 51 after having been widowed for over 10 years. Not only have I relocated to a new state, but I am also making other major changes in lifestyle by purchasing a home in a subdivision after having spent most of my life in a rural setting. I look at the pictures that I have posted and wonder how many of them I should delete because they are the old "me". I think I am a difficult match anyway, because Ichose avery male dominated career path when few women even considered the possibilty. I typically avoid telling anyone that I am an engineer.
The business I work for has 2 female oil and gas engineers just in our office alone. Last year I went to an international oil and gas geophysical convention in San Antonio, Texas and it was loaded with female geophysicists from around the world. I personally know of more than a few men who are quite impressed with women in engineering and the sciences - if a guy is put off by your profession, well pooh, pooh on him.

I also asked eharmony for help and they did give a few suggestions such as adding additional photos and so forth. As an afterthought, why not ask aroundfor businesses that can help you with a makeover, a day spa that could give you a redo in hair, makeup, etc. Go for it and have fun in the process.

I am a good candidate because I am so clueless about guys. While one part of me says that I have a lot to offer a guy and I am a valuable person, my lack of dating history says that no guy is going to want me. I am a strong Christian and want to find a guy that will bring me closer to God. However, I believe that God enjoys all aspects of my life with me, not just going to church or reading the Bible. I don't know how to communicate my committment to Christ, without painting a picture that I am spending 7 days a week in church. I have received an answer to my questions one time since I've been on e-harmony. I would so appreciate any suggestions on how to improve my profile.

Thank you so much for your help.

Kristi

I don't ever get Emails from men on their own. I always get matches that I have to respond to.

I don't know if this is how it work for everyone, but I feel that there must be something wrong with how I am presenting myself.

I never get anyone's full profile. Just their about me.There is not way to know if they are divorced, separated, single and never married with or without children. I don't want to get involved with someone who is not divorced.
