can someone help me with mine? I hate the name but I can't change it unless I pay. I don't know if I should make a new account for the name. I also feel like my profile is too bland so I'm looking for advice. thanks.
Best one yet.
The areas I'd improve this profile on are basically just grammar, sentence structure, capitalization (be consistent - capitalize the first word in every sentence.), punctuation etc.
Just simple rephrasing of things like "I'm on Insanity trying to be in shape." to "I'm following Shaun T's Insanity workout program to get in better shape." And I'd maybe change "my eyes or my body(I've lost some weight so people from my hometown notice that first)" to "My eyes (I'm told they're unique; wanna see 'em for yourself?) or my body, especially since I've gotten into better shape."
There are several other little things I'd change about grammar/sentences, but it's all fairly minor stuff. It's just that if you go through it with a fine tooth comb and make it as good as it can possibly be, well, it can't possibly hurt your chances any! It could also attract someone who appreciates proper writing, not to mention that it can then convey that you're thorough and consistent in other areas of your life as well. Changing from proper capitalization to all lower case and back again at random just seems careless and sloppy - which isn't the sort of impression you want to give people about the rest of your life... because how you do anything is how you do everything, and people can, will, and do judge a book by it's cover.
And a better photo. That's probably the single biggest thing you could do. As someone else mentioned, a bathroom selfie with a toilet paper roll visible isn't exactly an attractive picture to use for a dating site. It's just baaaarely acceptable for throwing on facebook. I've done it lol when I snapped a bathroom mirror selfie after going for a run.. but in hindsight, I reeeally probably shouldn't have even put that on facebook lol such a social faux pas. Oh well, rather minor mistake in the grand scheme of life.. live an learn.
As for the screen name, pfffft, it's not that bad. I wouldn't worry much about it at all. People have silly internet aliases of their own and fully understand it these days. Someone might even find it cute. It's really not that bad of a screen name, and rather fitting of a computer engineering student. Also, it's not like the screen name is super prominent on your okcupid profile in the first place, so it doesn't even really get noticed thaaat much - not nearly as much as your photo and your profile.
