bluenite Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I am in need of some help when it comes to creating a good OLD profile. The other day I created a fake profile. It had one picture of a guy (I googled "picture of an average guy") and used that picture. I wrote a 200 word description that said standard stuff - I'm fun, I like to go out on the weekends, I like to stay in during the weekdays - very basic. Needles to say, I was AMAZED at the amount of winks, interests, and emails this fake profile had received! I initially figured it was due to the looks of this "average guy". So I put his picture on the picture rating site MyBestFace. He scored a 76 with about 65% of women preferring him to others. That said, this whole ordeal left me completely confused. I have an OLD profile and hardly ever receive winks, interests, or emails. My pictures (I use 3) were rated about the same on MyBestFace - 74-76 range with a similar % accepted. So I figured that looks couldn't be an issue. And as far as what my profile said, it was the same as the fake profile other than an interesting story that I led off with on my profile. The only real difference is that my height is listed as 5'8 and the fake one was 5'10 - could that be it? Seems unlikely but wouldn't shock me... So with all of this, I must admit that I am clueless as to what women look for and find interesting. I don't know how much is not enough or too much. What do women look for in profiles for OLD. Do any women here have tips? I can show you the fake profile and my profile if that helps. And if this thread is in the wrong forum, I apologize!
sid3 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 You really think its the two inches that is making the difference. Those are some shallow bitches if that's the case. 1

Author bluenite Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 What did the profile say? "I'm a fun guy. I like to go out with my buddies on the weekends. I like to spend low-key nights in on the weekdays (game night anyone?). I view life as an adventure and enjoy women who share the same mindset. Traveling is fun. Old people freak me out. Pretty generic there...
sid3 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe its the old people comment, that sounds kind of odd. More than likely its the 5 8" description, try omitting that minor detail for comparisons sake.
MrCastle Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 The height thing wouldn't surprise me at all. It is OLD, after all. Give it a quick experiment. Put 5'10 up there for a day and see what happens.

FitChick Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 If you're afraid of old people it makes you sound like a pussy.
Author bluenite Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 If you're afraid of old people it makes you sound like a pussy. It was a joke...
El Brujo Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 If you're afraid of old people it makes you sound like a pussy. No kidding. Some of those old duffers are armed.

I don't want to lie if I don't have to. Just do it for 24 hours and see if you get any messages or winks or whatever. if you see a significant change, then you'll know it's the height thing. Believe me I'm 5'7, I know about the height thing. Just leave it at 5'10 for 24 hours and see if there's a change. Don't set up dates or anything, just see if you generate more activity with a 5'10 profile. 1

Was the location different between your real profile and your fake profile? Did the fake profile guy look similar to you? Or was he a different ethnicity, different hair color, different eye color, bald, or whatever and you're not? I don't really take those rate me type sites too seriously since anyone in the world could vote any old way and its not like you'll meet those people.
Author bluenite Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 LOL... http://www.picvalley.net/u/2673/139118912820621465001357789666CGwx6UkIuPXBkpgJh4Ck.PNG Yep! That is the fake one alright! Average, no?
Andy_K Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Fake photo looks well above average to me. Probably accounts for the difference in winks/emails received.
