The jacket pic is good, the other 2 are a bit unexciting.
The profile itself feels a bit bland & slightly self deprecating. It doesn't stand out in any way or tell the reader what it is you have to offer or why they should meet you rather than the thousands of other single men on here.
You need to imagine your profile is your shop window & sell yourself. Be quite specific about what you are looking for and what you can offer. Humour can be good, show a bit of personality.
Most women & couples look at profiles before they even decide whether they want to read your message. If they profile doesn't make them want to find out more about you then chances are they will not open or reply to a message. |

"You're breathing in a bit too deeply on your last photo"
I'm just laid down there haha, I took it so I had a clear background at the time, but point taken |

Funny, isn't it, how men always ask women and couples to comment on their profiles rather than asking successful men on here who have profiles that work well for them.
Surely they would be the best people to ask.
Or is it just a thinly veiled 'Look at me' thread? |

My problem is, I'm probably not unique. I'm nothing special,I have a great sense of humour and fun to be around but not sure how to put that in there.
I just want to give people pleasure haha |

What about your profile says, "I am successful" or is your post, a overtly placed comment to get attention?
I ask the people I want to interact with what there opinions are, that is all |

"Can any couples or women look at my profile and let me know if there is anyway I can improve it?
Maybe ask for advice from men too ? Some have great profiles. "
I have some Male friends on here, but I'm not seeing what they do different, other than verificationd |

I don't mean that that as negative as it seems, I am just saying how can I tell what's successful? Loads of verification doesn't always mean there successful. |

It was a general observation. I've seen a lot of threads where someone is asking for the opinions of women and couples.
No, I'm not saying that I'm successful - though I'd say I've been fairing pretty well over the past few weeks in terms of interest. Had a few bites, but no, wasn't an attempt to get attention. Was a genuine question, that's all |

Just a seemingly small point, but the way you start virtually each line with I can be seen as negative.
It's a smaller version of writing everything in CAPITALS or 'shouting' which to some people can be off-putting.
Reassemble your profile to avoid this and it will improve people's perception of you.
It's a tip I picked up during my career within Sales, plus running my own proofreading company where I helped businesses start up!

I bet your point, hence why I mentioned I didn't mean my reply as it sounded |

"I gave my profile a once over. I corrected some things.
I think you should take the advice given about not starting all your sentences with "I"."
Point taken, will have a look soon |

He didn't.
Honestly don't know why people ask for advice sometimes. |

I have just been busy to be honest.
My profile pic was done based on advice I received here, so I do listen |
