Guys, Guys does this seem like a bad introduction to a dating site - if yes what would you say?

[Anonymous]

Exploring a countryside? Flying a cessna? Finding a new hiking spot? Relaxing with a book, tea, and some good conversation? Trying something new in the kitchen (love to cook)? Now you're speaking my language.

Family-focused and down-to-earth lady looking for her partner in crime for travel and much more (nothing good is rushed).

Friends describe me as reliable and nurturing. An honest easy-going and friendly woman with an excellent sense of humor/wit. They may be lying (lol)!

Yes, Bad Introduction

No, Good Introduction

No, but here's why:

"Exploring a countryside? Flying a cessna? Finding a new hiking spot?"
These are places you go, they are not what you do or who you are as a person.

"Relaxing with a book"
This is an alone time activity, and thus is useless to mention, you are not going to be available while immersed in a book.

", tea, and some good conversation?"
What counts as good conversation is subjective and os entirely based on views and interests. Try listing the subjects you like in general rather than just saying you like talking.

"Trying something new in the kitchen (love to cook)? Now you're speaking my language."
Everyone cooks, this sentence will only attract lazy people who want you to cook for them unless, you are looking to start a family restaurant, but if so specify that, and cooking isn't really a social activity.

"Family-focused"
This really doesn't mean anything (other than you want kids). If you want kids, mention that, but people focus on families they get along with, so its better to say what kind of guy you would want to start a family with.

"and down-to-earth lady"
Never use the words "down to earth" in a dating profile, it screams you have no personality and that you judge people for having luxuries, hobbies, or other quality of life stuff.

"looking for her partner in crime for travel and much more (nothing good is rushed).""
This is a red flag, you want to focus on family and seemingly want to have kids, but you also want to travel all over the place. Those 2 things don't fit together. Also, most guys (myself included), avoid travel junkies entirely, as adults have jobs and they don't want their SO away most of the time.

"Friends describe me as reliable and nurturing."
Toward what type of people?

"An honest easy-going and friendly woman"
Around whom?

"with an excellent sense of humor/wit.
One person's excellent humor is another's bleh,

"They may be lying (lol)!"
Don't call out negatives or postives from friend's perspectives, most guys want a girl who thinks for herself.

You need to work on describing what you like and don't like even if it offends people, instead of trying to seem so generic that you don't scare a guy off, because being generic scares guys off. You gotta be interesting, you gotta fill out who you actually are, your interests, your hobbies, your type of humor, your goals and views and and what you want in a guy, a home, and a lifestyle.

Sorry I meant yes, it does seem bad, but I explained why so you can adjust it.

[Asker]

Yeah then you give an example of what you'd write. And if you think anyone can fly a cessna when you need a pilot's license that's amusing.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you didn't want the correct answer, don't ask the question.

Your profile is too vague to spark interest in the state you presented it. Many guys that might have really liked you, have already hit pass just because you aren't completely describing yourself.

Glad you used some of my advice, i like it (except the lol at the end ;P )

[Asker]

Sarcasm doesn't convey well on the internet & less when dealing with someone who isn't British.

[MrHopper]

hehe, its cool, good luck to you :) hope you find a nice brit! D

Irrelevant. 97% of men don't bother reading women's profiles. Even after matching and exchanging pleasantries.

[Wise4myage]

Looks just fine to me.

Seems cheesy/generic
