I Need A Dating Profile Review.......26 And Cant Get A Girlfriend

Like it says im 26 and cant get a girl to go out with me for more than a week or so. Took me till i was 25 to get my first kiss and date as well. Ive tried to figure this out, my friends have sat down with me and tried to figure this out, but I just cant get a girl attracted to me. I have an online profile which gives you some photos and info about me and I want HONEST answers and opinions, I need advice on whats wrong and what your first impressions are of me. Its mentally exhausting and has been getting me down as to why I cant find someone who likes me. Its getting really frustrating when I see all my buddies out getting many girls offline as they please and im left in the dust. A few girls have said they were interested in me but once they found out how inexperienced i was they dropped and ran. Here is my Okcupid profile. http://www.okcupid.com/profile/Theflyer0427?cf=profile_similar

 

There's nothing wrong with your profile.

You have a good job, which may actually intimidate some people. Also, mentioning that you're interested in things like astrophotography and astronomy will probably limit your choices on a site like OKCupid. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm actually doing a B.Sc in physics in a program focused on astrophysics.)

The only thing I could suggest (and believe me, this is very minor), would be that you rewrite the information on your profile so that it has a better flow. Don't use use "I am" and then "I'm" interchangeably. Of course grammar doesn't matter if you're talking with someone you already know, but first impressions make a difference.

I'm assuming that you're seeking an attractive, intelligent woman (and preferably someone that makes somewhere around the same amount of money that you do). Needless to say, that's a trifecta that probably doesn't pay out anywhere as near as much as the 26 year old high school drop out that will ask you to drive them all around town to pick up their children from previous relationships.

In no way am I suggesting that you dumb down your profile, I'm merely stating that if you're seeking what has been described above, a dating website probably isn't the best place to be looking (although I totally understand why you'd use one, and there definitely would still be a chance for success).

EDIT: Remove the "guys shouldn't have to do all the work" part from the "Message me if" section... Hell, I agree, but a dating website is no place for the truth.

 

i don't know, it seems like a decent profile to me. answer some questions if you haven't already. tidy up the grammar (it's I'm, not im). maybe get rid of the lols?

i feel like the profile is not really the problem though. what sort of messages do you send that get no response? don't get upset over being ignored; women on those sites get a million messages each day so they will ignore most of them. if you're getting replies to one out of ten messages you send, you're probably doing alright.

 

lame profile....very lame......spend some money on a real dating site and lose the dumb screen name...........go out with someone who has a good camera and get a good picture too.....


you say you like substance and class yet are open minded?...what does that mean ''yet''?.....and trust is a delicatething?...how woud you know?..all those relationships?.....dumbthing to say on adating site


''i'm usually a quiet peron until i learn to open up?''...girls dont ant to teach you to open up...or wait while you learn lol.....just say you tend to bea quiet around new aquaintances....

make a joke about yourself...

 

ftr the proper way to say that line is ''i'm an open minded guy who likes substance and class''....but the 'substance and class' dont go together and sound weird.....substance can be just about anything....could mean you like fat chicks

 

Hey I took those photos! lol with a damn good camera too! nah I appreciate it, Girls have told any lies before when we did go out, true ive never been in a real relationship but when a girl tells you time and time again your handsome and someone she has never experienced before then backs out....yeah doesn't feel so good, so thats why I wrote that. I do have ALOT to work on.

 

I dot know, I send something simple like how was your week, or Hi how are you kind of stuff. Nothing fancy or too invested. The problem is keeping the girls around. I grew up with self image issues and still am battling them. Its not easy but even now in my position I just cant see myself with someone I deserve.

 

I Invested 7 years of my life to my career and now responsible for the lives of 80 people on a passenger liner, damn right that's what i care about. Mooney is a damn fine plane we used to call them doctor killers lol

*** I am a pilot for a Pittsburgh based company. Flying is my passion and I am in love with my job. I am a romantic at heart and envy the old fashioned ways but I am open minded and internally free to include and experience all that is life. Hoping to find that special someone who shares my ideas and tastes; especially my Red wine risotto.

Probably overboard; I am forty so speaking for you Youngins' in this day and age is difficult.

Remember enjoy life and do not let you single status worry you. Good luck

 

Probably the whole "I am a Pilot " thing puts people off ! if you were a plumber would you introduce yourself that way ?
only people who would be interested are the kind that would respond to " I am a secret agent " kind of introductions which IMO are next to none !
I know a guy who Is an actual pilot for one of the big Airlines and he tells everyone he is a lorry driver

 

This is good, I like this alot better as well. It flows better

 

I think your profile is alright. Most girls on ok cupid are going to read "I like things to have substance and class yet Im very modern minded" though and think one of two things.

1. The girls isn't who you are looking for anyways, but finds this sentence annoying or confusing (she probably will be turned off the reading the word astrophotography as well).

2. She gets it, but wonders why a smart guy like you can't punctuate his sentences.

 

I know, im very lazy when it comes to grammar.....

 

Question for you what are your standards as far as women go? What are you really looking for? And I mean appearance as well as personality. Before you answer really think about what I've asked.

 

I would write " Subterranean water explorer" in place of Plumber lol

Then again if your job dictates the response, then I would not want that person responding to me anyway.

 

With that logic, the potential responses diminish. But in saying that, todays' expectations in people (especially a partner) are exactly that, expected. There is no room for faults. It is a 'like what I like' or move on society.

If a women posted that she was interested in a: 6'3 - well built - with a good job and financially secure - who enjoys romance but not to seriously - makes me laugh - going out for dinners - travel and no kids; exactly how many men out there fit that profile?

Noone exactly fits our expectations. One needs to enhance the 'likes' and except the faults. If you try to hard, that special will never appear because your psyche is too caught up in the perfect person to see that you yourself are not exactly perfect.

 

Poor grammar is a huge turn off to me. I would never date a guy who didn't know the correct use of "your" and "you're". Ugh. Even little things like "im". Any intelligent woman is probably going to share my opinion.
