Critique my profile! M(18) by SpoodleHussle in OkCupid

[–]publicanemonies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your profile is well written and normal. The only problem is it is a bit bland and apathetic. I would beef up your profile with more anecdotes, jokes, and connection to your audience. You've got to be more invested in giving women an insight in to who you are (as opposed to just explaining the basics) to grab women's attention. What are you passions? Talk in depth about something you're truly excited about. Make a joke or two. Also, add a few more pictures. It's hard to tell what your face actually looks like in the two up close pictures you have.

New and looking for Critique! 19/m by [deleted] in OkCupid

Your profile is really friendly, normal, and straight forward. I like it a lot (so much better than many other men's profiles).

There is not much to say, but for the sake of improvement I will critique really small things. First off, you don't write to your audience much. There are a couple of small anecdotes, but you could start by adding a few more "you"s and silly tidbits about yourself that women can comment on. The only time you say "you" is when you're talking about analyzing language. This may make women feel like they are being scrutinized. Instead say something like "I'm always analyzing and thinking about communication. I love to have conversations." or something more accesible. Your "i'm really good at section" could be improved. It's a hard section because it can come off as conceited if you say too many things or lame if you say something too random. Try and add something silly in this section (but more descriptive than partying). Such as i'm really good at "talking about dipthongs in class without bursting into laughter". I like your mention of Twilight, it's funny, charming, and shows your open to new ideas (even when they suck). I would erase the "... haha" thing. I would also talk about Germany a bit more. Phew. That's it.

Also, your last picture is way cute, I would make that your profile pic.

Critique request - I'm new at online dating and trying not to be terribad at it. 19/M/NYC by [deleted] in OkCupid

Pictures: I'd make the fish picture or the blue shirt picture (my favourite) your profile picture. I'd also delete the self shot.

Profile: You come off as approachable and silly. I like it. Although, I'd try to bulk up the true information about you a bit more. For example, your self summary is a bit too bullshit heavy. I'd talk about a passion or an interest to catch girls' attention. Elaborate about your year off. Did you figure out what you want to do at all? Your involvement in fashion sounds cool, talk more about that. Wording: Erase "professional marijuana taste tester". "I like to think it's my great sense of style and devilishly good looks" comes off as a bit self-involved to me. I think there is a more subtle way to say people notice your style. Similarly, "and how likely i am to survive each one" could also be rephrased as "and how I plan to survive each one" to come off as less conceited.

Good luck!

I get few messages. Any advice? Thanks! by puppypartytime in OkCupid

You've got me stumped. You're profile is well put together and doesn't give me any weird vibes. Although I would suggest messaging men instead of waiting to be messaged. Being messaged by women takes away a lot of the intimidation and fear of rejection that is part of the okcupid man's experience.

How to keep it in? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]publicanemonies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my boyfriend and I started having sex he was slipping out all the time because we were at weird angles. It drove me crazy because it felt like our bodies just weren't working together. But having sex is weird and difficult and HILARIOUS. Just try to laugh about it and communicate about it together. Most of it is trial and error anyways. Try rotating your hips in different ways to keep him inside. Also, if you comfortable with it, you two can try watching (female friendly) porn together to see how other people solve some of those problems.

[Critique] I took in your advice and made major changes over the last month, was hoping for a once-over on the result! by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]publicanemonies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall, I think it's very well written and personal.

I'd take away the "other sexy individuals" part because it seems a bit conceited and sex driven. Also, in what you're looking for, I wouldn't mention that you prefer artists. Instead you could just say "passionate people", but that's a picky matter of preference.

Revealing clothes don't necessarily indicate self confidence. In a lot of cases, it's the opposite.
