don't take it personally my man, girls never reply on okcupid, I don't know why lol
Oh yes they do. Below was from back in Feb when I was actually gaming on cupid a lot.....
OP:
Your profile is just too afc. Crop the photo's with the girls. Make it so it looks like you're just trying to show yourself, but if when they look closely (And they will) they'll be abler to see you were with women, Posting a picture of you with about four chicks is obvious you're trying to show off. Women are not that stupid, they're pretty adept at figuring guys out. Especially cuter women.
Your profile is AFC, You say, :i have a great sense of humor" Don't say that; your profile should show you have great sense of humor by being "funny" in your profile.
Lose the graduation pic. It's nice you're a college grad. Show it in your writing. Again, with good grammar and punctuation, like a college grad, women will figure it out.
I work in IT myself. Don't say what you do for a living. Leave a little hint that creates mystery. For example, on my profile I just say, "Evil Genius". My title once read, "Accepting applications for Evil Genius Sidekick". I got tons of unsolicited messages inquiring wtf I really do for a living.
Your pics look too "try hard". One graduated, one with a football that reads, :showing the girls in my hall how to throw a football, another group shot where it is difficult to tell who you are in the pic. In group pics you should be at the center of attention or crop it. If you crop it, women will still be able to tell you have friends, but it looks like you're just trying to post pics of you, and not showing off your friends.
Leave the orange bowl photo, that is good. A larger version would be better, though. On the football pic, keep it (Again a larger image would be better) in the title put something more modest like, "showing my nephew hot to throw a spiral". That's a title that women would eat up.
So in short:
- crop women and friend pics.
- get a good head shot from the mid-torso up with a good smile. (so women get a good idea what you really look like). You appear to be a decent looking guy with good teeth. Show that off on your main pic to sell yourself.
- lose graduation pic
- change title on football pic
- keep orange bowl pic
- try to upload larger images. It looks like they were taken from a crappy cell phone. If you have larger images it looks like they're taken from a nicer digital camera.
You're trying to DHV in your pics, but it's too obvious. Be subtle and leave DHV hints that are not so obvious.
Here's some of the ways I DHV in pics, and keep it subtle:
- pics all come from (or look like) a good high-end digital camera. Women notice that.
- crop friends out, but leave enough so women can see they were there. but it looks like I tried to crop it to show only me.
- good grammar, punctuation, and well written body of the main profile. Women notice that. Take the time and pull out a grammar book if you need to. Use a lot complex phrases properly punctuated with commas, colons, and semi-colons. That will show you are educated without mentioning the fact you are.
- background in pics. I actually have one pic on my profile that is a full-body mirror shot. I know people say they suck... BUT I just took it in my living room really quick to show off my condo in the background. From looking at it, women can tell I have a huge plasma TV and nice furniture, in a nice place.. I don't have to talk about it in my profile. Women notice details like that...[/img]
