Hello ladies! Yesterday, i was asked the question "why don't the men ever write blogs about our profiles and pictures, so we women know what you want to see?" Well ladies, I thought about that for a minute, and then I looked through the mens' blogs, and I realized that the lady who asked me was absolutely correct. We men have not, in fact written about your profiles. So I agree that the time has come for a fresh, new type of blog!
Let me start off by saying that I don't speak for all the men here, but I'm sure many of them will agree with at least part of what I write. The simple answer is that we don't write about what we would like to see in profiles, because we all have different tastes.
Personally, I don't like to see a whole collection of studio pictures. I think your profiles would be much more appealing if you kept it more realistic. In other words, one studio picture for your main photo is a great idea, but most men would like to see you in regular, everyday settings. You will have a hard time convincing a man like me that you are real and sincere, if I look at your profile and all I see are professional pictures. Simple pictures that anyone can take for free are what I want to see. What do you look like when you are walking up the street? How do you look when you are shopping for clothes, or visiting regular places?
I am far more interested in the person I would see every day for the rest of my life, rather than what you look like only when you are being professionally photographed. It's not likely that you will be in a studio every day for the rest of your life, so I would rather see you out living your normal life.
Another thing that usually turns me away from womens' profiles are all of the "tease" pictures. Most men love pictures like that, but I am not like most men. I think that pictures of that nature should be shared with only the man you have chosen to be with. Bikini pictures are okay... but again, only one or two. I would rather see a woman in a nice gown, or a normal outfit, then dressed up like some sort of sex symbol. That may be only my opinion, but you never know...
Finally, as for the context of your profile... When I read about someone, I like to be able to come away feeling like I actually know a little bit about that person. Generic statements, such as "I want to love and be loved", and "I am a simple girl who just wants to be happy", really aren't necessary. Such things are true for all of us, which is why we are all here. Tell me something unique and interesting about yourself, and you are 100 times more likely to grab my attention. I used to read every profile for every woman that sent me a letter, but it very quickly became so monotonous that I knew what was written before I even got to that point in a profile. Honestly, it just became boring to read profiles...
Anyway, as i said, these are just my opinions. But you asked, and so I answered. I hope that most of the other men will agree, but even if they don't, at least one of us has finally told you!
