I could give you my interests and hobbies and you write something decent for me? Preferably something funny or witty? The profile part is the hardest thing for me because I hate writing about myself like that.


I really really want to try and hopefully have some success with online dating. it actually appeals to me big time because I love that I can narrow my search down to exactly what I want (IE sporty, no kids, no smoking, minimal drinking, no drugs, lives fairly close by, etc...)

That wouldn't be honest. You have to be yourself.

I just need some dates, I don't care how I go about getting them


I can be very charismatic in an isolated 1 on 1 situation like a date and I look very good in real life, I just don't get any opportunities

Sometimes funny and witty come across as trying too hard. Take some good pics, and write a short profile. To the point and concise worked like magic for me.

I would hope no one would volunteer to help with this, then.

Were you able to get dates with women who were attractive and in nice shape?


I'm planning on trying online dating and I'm going to go all out to make sure it's successful. I will have a professional take some nice "natural looking" pics of me, I want to have someone else write an awesome profile for me and then see where it goes from there. All I need is a few dates, I can sell myself like crazy in a 1 on 1 situation like that.

I've been looking for a girlfriend for 27 years, you're really going to have a nasty attitude towards my problem like that?

Yes, I got several dates with young, attractive women, within few days my profile was up. Couple turned out to be duds in other ways, but there were no regrets. Also met my GF of 3+ years during that time. You don't need an awesome profile. Just have to be a little bit different from everything else out there.

No, I'm going to have a nasty attitude against an end justifies the means point of view when you're dealing with another living, feeling, person. These women aren't just things for you to enjoy, or tick marks, or completely substitutable. They're real people that are looking for love and connections. If you're not being yourself and being honest with them you're using them for a totally selfish agenda. That's not cool whether you're 27 or 77.

Have you ever gone on a date with a woman who looked way worse than her pictures? How did that make you feel? Regardless of how well she "sells herself", if she comes differently than advertised, you might take issue with that. I've done some pretty dishonest things in the past myself, but this is one that likely won't get you what you're looking for....just my two cents.
