Ladies and Gentlemen. What is wrong with my profile. I have been receiving some negative comments about being to "Cocky". WTF? Pick my profile apart and let me know what you think !!

I liked it- i didn't find it pretentious at all- you are smart and maybe some people aren't sure how to handle it

your pics are good- you are adorable and the content was good- i say don't worry about it.happy

Your profile is fine for someone who enjoys "fluff".

For example, you are very inspired in your writing, but for the purposes of a dating profile, most of what you wrote is superfluous.

Choose what you like the most about your essay and truncate it to one paragraph then add things about who you wish to meet, your goals, and what makes you giggle.

Most profiles are very dry and too perfunctory. Your profile is the other extreme. Find that middle ground which exemplifies both your creative needs and your direct needs!

The reason you might receive negative feedback is that you are "over the heads" of most people with your writing skills. If you had said, "Waazzz up? Holla if you like what u c" then your inbox would be full! :laughing:

Have fun! flowerforyou

Personally, I liked your profile, I think it says a lot about you and your personality. It also screams that you're intelligent and articulate, intimidating qualities for some laugh laugh For those who don't get it, oh well. flowerforyou

Thanks for the comment about my art work. I was in Europe 2 months ago and watched this one guy doing that, so I had to adopt that type of art in my life. Beautiful work... Very abnormal.

Were you and age peer I would have been engaged by your lead photo to read your profile. Nice smile good eye contact. Can't really say why your shirt is open but could pass as an open collar.

But the headline is a no-sale as is the text. It seems to jump around and comes off as manic. At 28 I would expect someone to have more concrete direction. You come off as a bit of a PeterPan which is sad because you have so much potential.

You would be one I would say is worth watching to see what ultimately comes forward. Something about you is very likeable maybe you are just trying a little too hard? Maybe the self talk is coming off a little cocky.

Noooooooooooooo! Never dumb it down!!!

We reap what we sow; we attract what we reflect.

For lack of a better phrase, if you dumb down your profile you MIGHT dumb down the candidates! :laughing:
