I am going to try this online dating thing. I have posted a link to show you some pictures I am thinking about using http://photobucket.com/ put my user name in search my user name is Bill3192 you will see 5 pictures I am thinking posting please tell me what you think. Couple out side with a redsox shirt .
Also I have created a profile what do you think of this?
Well, about me I am 36 and live in Oakdale working Cromwell. I enjoy working around the house always seems like there is something to do inside or out. I just completed adding a bathroom downstairs in my house. When I am not working around the house, I am hanging out with friends at a cook out or just for a beer somewhere is great too, I also exercise 3 to 4 times a week and try running 5-7 miles per week as well. I am looking for a girl who is likes to have fun. It doesn’t matter whether we hang out around the house, go out to dinner with friends or swimming at the beach.
thanks
please be honest.

the picture didn't come up when I put your user name in the search. As far as your about me, I would not start out with "Well," I would start with "I am 36," and so on. you could probably omit the "in my house" after the bathroom down stairs. I would also omit "when I am not working around the house," I would say, " I also enjoy hanging out with my friends..." Then I would end the sentence after "is great too.," and start the next sentence with "I exercise..." Are you looking for a girl or a woman? I would change that wording too. Just my opinion. Best wishes on your dating endeavor. I'm there myself!

I did online dating before meeting my husband....I met him online so it does work! :) Here are my thoughts:
1) Don't put any pictures that are too far away. The snorkeling pic is cool but do you have one that's a little closer up? Same goes for the one of you standing by your car.
2) The profile needs to have a little more to it. When you say you want a girl who likes to have fun.....well, that's EVERY girl. You need to be a little more specific. Are you looking for a committed r'ship? If you're not looking for that, then you need to say that. That way, there aren't any false expectations upfront.

Bill, the online dating thing does work...I am living proof. Personally, I would use the close up pictures. You might want to share, in your profile, some things like what you envision your most romantic date would be like, etc. Tell some things about your personality, also. If you have hobbies, other than exercising you might list those too.
Good luck!!!!!

It looks fine, although - from the pictures - it looks like you many have recently gotten out of a longer-term realtionship (hence the small child in one of the pictures, as well as the lingering look of sadness in your eyes)...? If that is the case, you may want to skip putting in the pic with the little kid (but don't hide the fact that you have a kid!), since it makes you seem like you are possibly on the rebound and just "looking for love" to replace the one that you recently (or painfully lost)....
Hope this helps.... :)

Bill, I can't access your pics from here, but I can tell you you should spice up your profile. I'm a fan of online dating and finally met "mr. right" there. You need to add something unique--something eye-catching. I swear there were 10,000 men who were "honest, handsome and stable" looking for the same. Say a little more about the kind of girl you're looking for. Maybe add a bit of humor to it. Have fun with it--let your personality shine!!
I wish you tons of luck.

You are not a bad looking guy, you are average. Just be yourself, have confidence in yourself and women will be attracted to that.
What turns me off about a guy is when he is trying to be something that he is not, just be yourself and when you do find the right person she will enjoy you for the person you really are, there will be no surprises.
Good luck.

dsco2041 is the one to use bill.i won´t tell you what i think about the rest. the one with the little girl is quite nice but save it for a little later. about your profile: just a litttle too much detail on what you like to do around the house.

ok , none of the pictures are "picture perfect" but that's ok. I like the underwater one best.
one question, what do you do for a living?

you need more closeup pictures and kick up your profile a couple of notches
