Profile Review for 26yo SWF

Hey all,

Just looking for some input on my profile. Thanks so much!

ddd


The one thing I am most passionate about:
I am passionate about helping women become the person Christ created them to be. I guess I'm going through the same journey myself, so I'm no expert, but it's something God laid on my heart years ago. I recently received my Masters degree in Forensic Psychology. Eventually, I hope to work in the criminal justice system and be a liasion between law enforcement and victims, as well as provide behavior analysis of criminals.

Why did you choose that field? What inspired you. Remove the God reference. I have read down your profile....you have mentioned god and faith way to much that you come off as a fanatic or bible thumper. This will turn off many guys --even those who do go to church. It is ok to mention your faith once.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
I have to respect him. To me, that covers all the bases...strong faith, love for family, ability to relax and have fun, as well as be the leader of a relationship.

Leader of the relationship....this is a likely ruen off to many men in your generation. Many who are educated look at women as equals...not second rate citizens which is what the comment of he is the leader of the relationship implies....it also would seem to attract a guy who tends to be very controlling.

The most influential person in my life has been:
I would have to say my grandpa. He is a man after God's own heart and an incredible example to me. I have never met anyone more wholly devoted to the Lord.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
-My family. I am so blessed to have been raised in such a wonderful and safe environment.
-My friends. A girl couldn't ask for more loyal and fun friends.
-I just realized I probably should have put my Jesus first. He's the one who gave me the other two.

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
Tough question. I may have to think about it more and come back to this one...

Ask a friend or sibling this question and see what they say. This something that a guy would learn about you that is a plus---but not on a first meet.

The things I can't live without are:
-my Bible
-a good book (other than the Bible)
-someone to share secrets with
-warmth
-my kickboxing class

The first thing people notice about me:
People usually first comment on my height and then on my smile, but I guess that's part of my appearance. So maybe my laugh. Or the sarcasm. Yea, probably the sarcasm. But it's a nice sarcasm. Or so I'm told.

Focus on one please....

Some additional information I want you to know:
I really could live without the kickboxing class listed above...but it's so much fun! Seriously, though, I'm having a hard time putting myself on paper because I feel like I'm a bunch of contradictions. I love high heels, but my favorite thing to wear is a pair of sweats and a tank. I quite possibly know more about football than you do (or maybe not), but I really want to learn how to ballroom dance. I grew up on a hobby farm and know my way around a rack (or ten) of hay, but people are always surprised to find that out. And I would pick a motorcycle over a car any day.

I typically spend my leisure time:
I have been showing horses for seventeen years and on a national level for the past ten years. It's taken up a big portion of my time, but I absolutely love it! Another activity I enjoy is spending time on the lake--jet skiing, fishing, and enjoying the sun!

The last book I read and enjoyed:
I read a LOT of books...three a week is not unusual. Since finishing grad school, most of the books I have read have been just for fun. I like everything from James Patterson to Karen Kingsbury to Louis L'Amour. I also started writing a book of my own. I've always enjoyed writing and have wanted to write a novel for a long time. I have no idea how it will all go, but when I'm finished I will be able to mark it off of my bucket list. :-)

The last three sections are much beter. I am not criticizing your faith...its just the impression it gives when reading your profile. Try to mention itonly once in one of the responses.

At your age profile pics DO matter.

Are you willing to initiate or wait for him to initiate? What are your age and distance settings?

Hey all,

Just looking for some input on my profile. Thanks so much!

Why forensic psychology? Why the attraction to the criminal justice system vs. say, missions work? A sentence, maybe two, to discuss this would be great.

This is great. The types of guys you seek will get it. Everyone else will run for the hills. That's what a profile should do. Clearly attract someone compatible while repelling everyone who doesn't share those values.

The most influential person in my life has been:
I would have to say my grandpa. He is a man after God's own heart and an incredible example to me. I have never met anyone more wholly devoted to the Lord.
Your profile is ultimately about you, not about showcasing what a great Christian your grandfather was. So how did his example impact you? How are you a different person as a result of knowing him? One sentence on your grandfather followed by a sentence or two that brings it back to you would be much stronger.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
-My family. I am so blessed to have been raised in such a wonderful and safe environment.
-My friends. A girl couldn't ask for more loyal and fun friends.
-I just realized I probably should have put my Jesus first. He's the one who gave me the other two.
Tells me nothing that I didn't already know about you, but OK.

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
Tough question. I may have to think about it more and come back to this one...
Answer every question! You have limited space to make a "first impression." Granted, this is probably the hardest question to answer in the profile, but don't miss an opportunity to share another detail or tidbit about yourself.

The things I can't live without are:
-my Bible I would strongly recommend a different item. It's clear that your faith is central to your life. At this point, you really are just losing opportunities to share as much information about yourself as possible.
-a good book (other than the Bible)
-someone to share secrets with
-warmth
-my kickboxing class
Otherwise a nice, unique list

The first thing people notice about me:
People usually first comment on my height and then on my smile, but I guess that's part of my appearance. So maybe my laugh. Or the sarcasm. Yea, probably the sarcasm. But it's a nice sarcasm. Or so I'm told. Sounds as if you might actually be a bit mean and nasty if you have to qualify it with this last bit in red. I would delete the red.

I like what you did with this section!

I typically spend my leisure time:

Interesting and unique list. Nice that it includes some things that you might do with the guy in your life.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

Great.

Hi ericaliza!

Overall, you have a great profile. I get a clear sense of who you are, what matters to you, and what you want. There are a few areas where you can improve. See below for specific comments.

Best of luck with your search!

Remove the God reference. I have read down your profile....you have mentioned god and faith way to much that you come off as a fanatic or bible thumper. This will turn off many guys --even those who do go to church. It is ok to mention your faith once.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
I have to respect him. To me, that covers all the bases...strong faith, love for family, ability to relax and have fun, as well as be the leader of a relationship.

untrue. continue to use the bait needed to lure what you are fishing for.


this will also effectively filter out what you are not looking for- those with little to no faith.

good luck!

I also like your pictures. Hopefully you did mean them to show that you want marriage, babies, horses, and you're physically active.

The one where the man was cropped out is a little questionable unless he's your dad. Matches will ask about that eventually, so remove it if he's an ex.
