Hey everyone, another newb here looking for advice/critique. I've been here about a month and have received zero responses and zero inquiries. I've sent e-mails to about 20 women (none responded to) and am wondering if perhaps I'm sending a bad vibe or making some other internet dating faux pas. Thanks in advance for your feedback.


May 2010

The one thing Tim is most passionate about:
Being a good Father is my greatest accomplishment. For fun, I love music, particularly singing. A karaoke addict, I need to get on stage a couple of times per month and sing in front of strangers.

The most important thing Tim is looking for in a person is:
Sense of humor is a must. I have written a book of 1,137 "Knock Knock" jokes and I would like to share them with someone special. (I'm kidding about the last part...I didn't write a book).

About Me
Basic Information

Occupation:
Sales Representative Business to Business
Age:
47
Height:
5' 9"
Wants Kids:
No
Kids at Home:
Yes
Ethnicity:
White, non-Hispanic
Religion:
Neither religious nor spiritual
Drinks:
About once a week
Smokes:
Never
In my own words
The most influential person in Tim's life has been:

My sister. She's overcome a ton of adversity and thrived raising two beautiful children, she's awe inspiring.

The three things which Tim is most thankful for:

My son
My health
My friends
Three of Tim's best life-skills are:

Creating a peaceful, beautiful home environment
Using humor to make friends laugh
Maintaining a network of close friends
The one thing Tim wishes MORE people would notice about him is:

My shiny coat. Seriously, I think people see me for who I am. I'm not brooding nor guarded in how I feel about my family and friends. If I love you, I'll let you know. If I don't, I'll leave a burning bag of dog doodie on your porch (just kidding...or am I?).

The things Tim can't live without are:

My son
Friends
Laptop
Gym
My BlackBerry
The first thing people notice about Tim is:

My rapier wit. And my smile...I like to smile and laugh (but not in a goofy or obnoxious way...ok, maybe a little obnoxious sometimes).

Some additional information Tim wanted you to know is:

I'm looking for the real deal, someone to spend the rest of my life with. I'm not a serial dater (nor a cereal dater...thought I do love Frosted Mini-Wheats....yum). This isn't casual to me nor something to do for kicks or to fill time. I'm hoping to find "her" on this site.

My interests
Tim typically spends his leisure time:

In the summer I ride my motorcycle when the sun shines and would love some company...right now the back seat is empty. I also hit the gym 3-4 nights per week to work on my girlish figure.
The last book Tim read and enjoyed:

Tuesdays with Morrie. It reminded me about how precious life is and how important it is not to waste it. What's done is done and there's no use rehashing and regretting it. You can't change what's already happened, but you can decide what will.
According to my friends:
Tim's friends describe him as:

Warm
Funny
Loyal
Sweet

the dog doodie part. it's only funny if you already know someone. otherwise, it reads like a pathetic, forced attempt at humor.

other than that, it seems good.

maybe it's your pictures. are you holding up a dead animal in any of your pics? are any of your pictures with other women, or at Hooters?

See the comments in red and blue above. One side comment, when I see that a match spends a lot of time doing something, in your profile gym 3 or 4 nights a week, I always wonder if they have any time for me.

Since most of your matches are going to be non-paying members who can't communicate, getting responses is not necessarily a measure of how your profile is received. So some comments are in order:

As a guy you are expected by most women to be the one that initiates. So send your First Questions.

Dating is a numbers game. You should send First Questions to every match that does not have deal breaking red flags in their profile. The more matches you contact the greater the odds that one will respond.

Are you getting viewed? While a match that views you is not a guarantee that they are a paying member and can respond, it is an indication that they are at least active.

Are matches closing you without responding? This would indicate that there is something wrong with your profile or photos. You do have photos posted, don't you?

Holding up hooters is a no-no

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take your suggestions and tweak my profile accordingly. Maybe I'm just not initiating contact with enough members. As for the gym time, I'm pretty fortunate that I get it out of the way mostly before evening (benefits of working from home or being home by 4-5pm after sales calls), so I'm not there after 6pm. Thanks again.

Ok, removed the doodie reference. The pics don't include any dead animals nor hooters, so I'm sure now the love will flow. Thanks again.

If you removed those references, you should probably remove them in your original post...
otherwise, new posters to the thread may still comment on them.

Timmmaaaay! hi and welcome to EHA!

When you say you've sent emails to matches, do you mean you're not using the Guided Communication? If so ... I'm not positive about this but I believe the majority of people (and maybe especially women) prefer GC.

I don't have a current membership so can't really check this ... but can you still tell whether a match prefers GC? If so, go with what your match prefers. A woman who wants to do GC probably will not respond to an email.

I like your profile. Perhaps it's your photos?
