Hi everyone. Ok, so I am new to eharmony, like just joined yesterday, still on the free memebership where I can only review my matches. Well so far I have gotten quite a few matches and three people have requested communication. however, i just wanted to see if yall could review me and just let me know what I can change before I start really getting into this. Thanks so much


1. What are you most passionate about?
I absolutely love to sing just about anything. I love animals, and helping people. I also like to write poetry and read.2. What are the THREE things for which you are MOST thankful? 1.
2.
3. 3. Other than your parents, who has been the most influential person in your life and why? I would have to say my daughter Kaylee. She had made me open my eyes, and see things differently. If it wasn't for her then I would not have gone back to school, and I probably would be where I am today.4. The four things your friends say about you are: Edit Caring
Spontaneous
Dependable
Outgoing
5. What are three of your BEST life-skills? Edit 6. What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person? Honesty, absolutely. I have been lied to by almost everyone in my life, and I dont understand it. If you cant be honest with one another, then how can you ever have a successful relationship7. Other than your appearance, what is the first thing that people notice about you? oh gosh, I dont know. I think at first they might not notice because I can be very shy, but dont worry that doesnt last long.8. What is the ONE thing that people DON'T notice about you right away that you WISH they WOULD? That I am a strong women, and just because I might be somewhat shy that does not mean I can be walked all over.9. How do you typically spend your leisure time? I like to just relax and read a good book, or watch an old movie. I love to sing and write when Im in the mood10. What are five things that you "can't live without?" a. b. c. d. e. 11. Describe the last book that you read and enjoyed. What was it about? What did you like most about it? I havent really had time to read books for my own personal enjoyment which is sad because I love to read. However, I did quite enjoy one of my nursing books on medical terminology. haha12. Describe one thing about yourself that only your best friends know. well lets see..hmm, dont really think there is anything. Maybe the fact that I get my feelings hurt pretty easily. I try to be strong, but im a tenderheart.13. Is there any additional information you would like your matches to know about you? I am pretty laidback, and just like to have fun. I would much rather stay home and just enjoy each others company than go out. But that doesnt mean I never like to go out and have fun. I get bored fairly easily, and amuse myself with the most random things. I love to laugh and just goof around. I know how and when to be serious though. I am currently a full time student working on becoming an RN. In the mean time I plan to train as a CNA. I do have a child, that lives with me. She is my entire world, so if that is not ok, then thanks for looking, good luck to ya.

You need to change #6 - This is coming off very negative. You can say that you want an honest guy, but don't say that everyone you know has lied to you.

Sorry, but the presenation does make it difficult to read all the answers properly.

I agree that #6 needs to be changed. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that you need to delete it all and start afresh on a day when you are feeling happy about yourself and your life.

Also, it's fine to talk about your daughter, but I would keep it limited to one of the questions, not every second one. Otherwise, it comes across as if you are looking for a father for her, rather than a partner for you.

Talk about your passions, your likes, your inspirations. What makes you unique, what makes you smile, laugh, etc.

Don't despair - a profile is a work in progress, as are our lives. Make the best of what you have and try to improve on it for the future.

Good Luck!

This profile seems good-natured but still very general. Could you look for each generality and replace it with a specific example? That way, the reader infers the general point but also gains a picture of what makes you unique. People connect on small understandings and identifications. Ex. no.8 "Laughter" Replace with something that makes you laugh ... and describe it.

Question 6
Honesty is absolutely an important trait to look for in potential partners;
but you have put a very negative spin as to why you value honesty. Why?

Question 7
Okay, this implies to me that you feel overlooked or insignificant at times. I'm presuming that this is not the implication you wish to convey here?

Question 8
Writing about being a strong woman is good ... I would remove the words '...does not mean I can be walked all over. It conveys the
impression that you have been walked all over; and that this is why you
have felt the need to mention it in your profile.

Question 12
Talking about getting your feelings hurt easily can be indicative that
you can be too emotional. What you could do is re-phrase your wording to show you are someone capable of great strength and feelings.

The other feedback I have is to polish your thoughts as much as you can.
Such as spelling, grammar and use of punctuation. I am not sure if it is
how you've copied it, or if you did actually leave out the apostrophe in
words such as: Im, cant, dont, doesnt.

Good luck!
