A little help for an SB friend
Gentleman,
Just like I've helped several of you though e-mail, I have a new SB that I've been talking with. Recently she read the post on my blog where a guy asked for honest feedback about why I didn't respond to him so she thought she would do the same.
The guy obliged and was VERY honest. But I don't agree with some of the things he said she should change in her profile so I wanted to get your opinions and thoughts. I do have to tell you that she is a larger black girl (I believed mixed with island). She does know her weight is an issue and is working on it. Additionally, she's a student that's just about to finish undergrad and wants to go to law school.
So, here's his response:
Ok, you seem like a decent person. You're asking a question so I'll give you a partial response: I think your response rate will be a LOT higher if you could make lifestyle changes to get really skinny.
Please, don't be upset with me for saying that. All of us on here can make some improvements to our lives. You specifically asked me for my opinion. Otherwise, I would never have given it to you.
Also, I would suggest you put in your profile:
1) say what your complete ethnic background is. Some men will strongly care. Others won't. But, by doing this, you'll weed out a lot of guys who would just waste your time. You'll keep the interest of guys who don't care or prefer your ethnic background.
2) say whether or not you have kids. Having kids is always serious baggage. If you don't have kids, feel free to brag about it.
3) just get rid of a lot of other stuff in your profile and make it a lot shorter and easier to read. Initially, we don't care if you go to law school or what your educational / occupational plans are or will be. All we first care about is how attractive your face is and whether you are height / weight proportionate (preferably, as thin as possible). All of us on the site are superficial. Men care (on average) more about looks. Women care (on average) more about money. This isn't eharmony.
4) you may have heard from movies or tv shows that people should care about personality or intelligence in women. Men only care about that stuff if we want a longer term relationship.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
Thanks!
Mandy
