Thanks guys for the tips..

I had heaps of time to spare today, so I made a few improvements.

Here's the link, in case you've forgotten.

Let me know if you think it's better.
As you know, yesterday's one was just a rush job.


Better, but I'd still consider rephrasing this one:

"Sitting at home, at the computer, listening to music, and talking to friends."

To something more like:

"Staying in, logged on, music up, connecting with friends."

Or something to that effect.

I just think the opening bit of the statement "sitting at home," sounds a bit dull whereas "staying in," sounds more.. mature vs. the typical friday night bar scene type. Some people are specifically looking for a "home body," type because they're that way and hate the bar/party scene for the waste of time health killer they perceive it to be. But it still doesn't hurt to market yourself a bit better in subtle ways like this. IMO.


wow. how can you imagine such a scenario?. i absolutely can not identify with your mindset. some people think they are the ultimate authority in a course of consideration that they alone embark upon.

i do that heaps but i do not identify with you.

the stench of "otherness" is very powerful in my nose.

I think goldfish21 has a good point here: how you say something makes a difference to how people perceive it, even if two statements are otherwise logically equivalent. Is it irrational? Yes. But is this the way people's minds work? Yes.

I'm not a fan of "marketing speak" by any means. I don't believe in putting a positive spin on everything. The ideal, to me, is no spin at all - but I think aspies can go too far in the other direction and actually put a negative spin on things! I've certainly done that. Maybe some of us actually would try to sell "hunk of dead cow"! :)

So I agree that "I sit on my butt at home" has more of a negative connotation than "I sit at home", even though we all know that when people sit it's generally on their butts, so the two statements are really saying the same thing. I'm glad to see that Paul92 followed the advice to remove that bit.

I agree I have been attacked in these parts for it , I'm quite fond of bop in fact , it's just an observation .

and yes I'm jealous of superior people I should work on that :oops:

I don't always post photos without makeup. But when I do, I'm wearing a majora's mask t-shirt. I assume you're trying to make people think I look like some sort of ogre without makeup, maybe I do, maybe I don't. You be the judge.

If that's what you want, I'll put this makeup free picture onto okcupid. /shrug

wow you look almost French, I like that , very nice I wonder if it's the same their in NZ? here the news presenters they tend to look like prostitutes , with the clothing to match giggling like Japanese school girls (one of the reasons I can't watch oz news ) though I would say all this as a Francophile vive la difference !

ps I did ask you before is that deliberate that you look like an jrpg chacrector when your made up? that's a compliment btw, wouldn't have been a few years back I can't believe I once hated the genre now I just hate FF or it's clones :P

I look unrealistic made up. I've been compared to a barbie doll. I don't wear makeup very much but am very self conscious about my appearance, as I've had so many nasty attacks on it in the past.

I've never been to France. But I would like to :)

well I would consider being called Barbie doll a insult , rpg females are sexy cool and tough and give as good as they get. :)

ps I'd recommend underrated destinations like Marseille , a real hodge podge of architecture , in fact it's Frances oldest city , don't bother with Paris totally over rated , even many French people don't like the place :P

I feel that way about Geneva it's also not well liked by the Swiss to , I call it baby Paris in fact it has more of it's borders in France than Switzerland (that's in case you want to go their to ), and yes it lives up to the hype. :)

do an experiment where that is your main picture for a week and see if you get less responses...You are very attractive and have a good profile (also seems to have a dorky side too, which can be a huge turn on for the right guy). F the people who call you a "barbie doll".
