I saw the irony of the comment above when I noticed your user name.
ha! that's actually my license plate, too. That must mean that my ex-husband is an obsessed parent too, b/c his plate is "mdepsdad."

From a guys perspective in your target age range....


I agreed with the others ...you need to tone down your son...but not eliminate him. Under the 5 things you cant live without you can pout your son...and then in one of the passages you can tell a story related to your son.

Under the passionate part....you should talk about why you chose your career, or there is a cause or hobby/interest you will never fgive up, or you colunteer always for certain causes.


I dont know what career you do.....

What interests do you have that is outside of your son other than 99% of us...hanging out with friends etc.

What about your pics and your age range and distance range ???
Thanks for the feedback. I'm a legal secretary, and my age range is 40-55. I selected up to 30 miles as distance, although a lot of my matches are closer to 50 miles away . . .

I'm happy to post pics, how do I do that here? Do I just link the jpeg images?

My reactions are in blue text. Red highlight I applied to your text is something which makes me especially likely to close; green highlight is something which makes me especially inclined to write.

Keep in mind that a large percentage of matches are abandoned profiles, or non-paying members, and will not write or reply for that reason.
Matches who view and don't write, or close you, are the ones to be more concerned over - especially those who were active during a free weekend.





I think you should consider that my view is of a person who doesn't write matches with children, but I consider the child-centric references far too many, and too overpowering.

It's simply not necessary to state that you care about your child - that may be assumed.

Aside from that, you have some baggage problems (which is subtle) and bad content.

Overall, this seems competent - a bit above the average quality of those I receive.

It got more appealing to the end, for me.

I think you write well enough that you can make a large improvement, though.
Thanks for your feedback. A lot of what you quoted/commented on was my first profile, that I posted yesterday. This afternoon I tweaked it and posted the rewrites. I did take your advice and removed the "100% committed" part out (yes, baggage!).

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to read and comment on my profile. Your comments gave me much food for thought, and I feel much better about what's out there now!
