Concentrate on the things that interest you that a possible girlfriend would like to do too. The bit about dancing seemed promising. Internet and Facebook is cool for single guys, but guys with girlfriends do other stuff too. You never see people on TV watching TV. Just because you haven't read a book doesn't mean you can't start one and say that you are reading it, as in " I am currently reading The Count of Monte Christo." Which by the way is an excellent read. Good luck friend. Hey Steve, I liked your ad because it funny and self-effacing.

Just because you haven’t read a book doesn’t mean you can’t start one and say that you are reading it, as in ” I am currently reading The Count of Monte Christo.” Which by the way is an excellent read. Good luck friend.

I found his profile amusing but well written. I will admit to having an automatic shut-down switch to chat speak, people who cannot spell, or use correct grammar in their profiles. To me, the quip about never learning to read was funny, since he is quite obviously and intelligent man. My only critique, Steve, would be to lose the second photo. I saw this as both a woman and a photographer -- it just looks weird. The others show your personality well, though, and I like the high-five with the statue. It's dorky and cute. Best of luck; I really think you'll find someone special, and you'll deserve her. Well, if I was into guys, I would date Steve. I found his profile amusing but well written.

That will give you an advantage. You'd be surprised at how many men don't do that at all.

I even liked the jumping photo. It shows a sense of humor. Something I noticed, though...in the first two pics he looks like a sharp dressed guy and in the others...not so much. It's not just that his clothes are casual, but that his casual clothes seem to be way too big, which tends to look sloppy and make people look heavier than they are. I would advise that he start wearing casual clothes with a more proper fit (a size or two smaller), and take some new photos in those. Also, get rid of that shirt with the horizontal stripes. Very few people look flattering in those. As to why he's not having any luck..if he's relying on just his profile that could be why. Women on dating sites get too many responses to go researching profiles of men other than the ones contacting them. But don't make the mistake of contacting every woman under the sun and skipping over their profiles. Most women see right through that and it just wastes your time. Find profiles of women you think you might like and introduce yourself. It’s a good profile. I even liked the jumping photo. It shows a sense of humor.
