So reaching out to a wider audience.
I am getting mixed views on my profile. Some saying they love my forthrightness and honesty. Others saying I come across as scary and demanding.
So please, could you give me honest and open views?
I’m just tired of being messed around, but I also don’t want to come across as easy.

It comes across as you know what you want. Pay no attention to what others say. It's your life, find what you want and what makes you happy |

Honest and to the point. No problem with it whatsoever. |

I think it’s a great profile. Just the kind of thing that would attract a message from me. It should frighten off some of the idiots as well, but you’ll never bypass all of them I’ll absolutely keep it as it is. |

I think are very clear and that's absolutely fine. You will probably find the people who have an issue with it are just narked because they don't fit what your looking for. |

The only thing I will add is you have been very clear about what you don't want but no so clear on what you are looking for as in the type of person. |

Don't change a thing. If peeps don't like it they aren't for you anyway. |

It's a wider audience, though the one that matches is your target one.
Not scary, though a little stern perhaps. I get that you can have been messed around and that now a lot of your front being presented is to deter that, if possible. I'm unsure if referring to yourself as a bitch is going to be helpful.
I think there's a lot more of you that feels missing - that could cause you to miss out, whilst in battle to try to prevent wasters messing you about. |

Tricky one as it is important to be clear about what you do and do not want.
Personally the approach and attitude is "wrong", it is far from welcoming and while it may not be the person that you are it certainly reads as serious and doesn't feel like much fun would be had. If I was not looking at it through this post as context I'd probably give it a miss even if I were what you are looking for.
The choice and structure of words can go a long way. |

Nothing wrong with being honest on here...makes a refreshing change! And tbh from a lot of the comments and statuses I read on this site, being blunt is something that is often required for some nuggets to get the message! |

Odd. Given that you have just said in another post that the profile isn't very clear about what she's looking for. 
To be honest it just reads as a frustrated rant. It says lots without really saying anything at all. I have no idea what the OP is looking for beyond some extremely broad parameters such as non smokers and know nothing much about the OP beyond the impression shed be hard word

Not sure why you are picking an argument.
It is perfectly possible to give your opinion without being obtuse. |

I think the profile is to the point and seems based on the messages and experience's you have already had on here.
It's not scary though at all.
I would agree with others in that it doesn't say what kind of person you are looking for and so could potentially put someone off messaging you.
Great photos too  |

OP just be who and what you are, there will be people who dislike that, there will be people who like it and there will be others who are totally indifferent.
but the main thing is to be yourself on here; my profile isn't great, it is not appealing to most, but it is ME !
enjoy fab for what you want from it, and forget what other people think you should want or do.

You referenced not wanting a guy shorter than you twice.. Didnt think it was really needed.. To me it sounds like you kinda know what you want but you make it seem like they're a list of demands. Referring to yourself as a heartless b**** might instantly put that stigmata on you.. I know after reading that.. Your text took on a different less friendly tone. It is my opinion that referring to yourself the way you did it was kind of like a warning shot across the bow. As far as meetings friend request real life obligations... All those things were fairly on point.. And to the point. But as to the first part of your profile text... And again. Only my humble opinion. You do seem to come off a little harsh and demanding.
Hope that helps |

I’ve rewritten mine a few times OP.. it’s quite toned down at the moment but I’m sure that’ll change. When I do my profile I read it and think ‘does this sound like me?’ If the answer is yes it’s ok with me. I know more about what I don’t want than do, as many others do also. If people don’t like that, it’s fine. It’s a filter in itself.. just be you x |

I agree, though even then its still harder to see it from that as an outsider. I still think its possible to do as you are saying, BUT with a certain approachability that doesn't always come across in profiles due to wanting to make sure what you don't want is put off by it. |
