Help me improve my OkCupid profile.

[CCHIPSS]

I decided to give OkCupid a try. I made an online profile but I am not sure how good or bad it is(most likely bad haha). Can you guys please take a quick look and see how I can improve?

Based on the experiences I had with OKStupid, my advice is to delete your profile, turn tail, and run. To be fair, though, I will give your profile a look-see for anything that might stand out.

ETA: You mention Christianity a lot, without talking about other aspects of your life. Once you mention that Christianity is important to you, move on. Tell people about the other things that make you interesting. If "I'm a serious Christian" was all it took to get a date, Sunday School would be really different. Talk about other interests and aspects of your life; all I get from your profile is--frankly--that you sound like a Bible-Thumper.

I personally don't use it. They made their hostility to Christian sexual morals known, as they started the Brendan Eich debacle. The presence of sleazy content also speaks to this.

You need to start your bio with "ay girl" for a start.

Well I am trying to find a faithful Christian girl. I guess I can try to add more personal stuff.

Certified Management Accountant. He gets paid sums of money not to screw up with math.

 

[redblue22]

I think he should say that.

"I am a single Christian man looking for a single Christian woman for friendship." Add "with the possibility of romance"! It's a dating site. You aren't really looking for "friendship." You want to attract women, not repel them with a lack of commitment before you have even met them.

I do think you come off strong with the Christian stuff. However, since you are looking to attract a true Christian woman, it is a good strategy to weed out the non-Christians and weak Christians.

I agree with the others comments about how you discuss your faith, I don't think it's something that needs to be repeated. If you say something along the lines of "my faith is a very important aspect of my life and I try to live it out daily" then I think nothing else would need to be said.

Under the "favorites" section, I would maybe elaborate in a little more detail with titles, specific dishes, etc. In the "six things I could never do without" section, I think I would take a different approach altogether. Not that those things aren't great, but people usually list tangible things that they enjoy on a daily basis. You don't have to change that, but it's just a suggestion - if you're interested in dialing back the faith talk a little bit so as not to overwhelm anyone who visits your profile.

Good luck.

I also agree with the previous comments about how you discuss your faith. In fact, your profile did catch my eye, it came off in a very hyper-religious way, but if that's who your looking for, than that will work. I do think it will weed out the weaker and non-Christians.

If I were you, I wouldn't have joined Ok Cupid. Mostly from what I've heard about it, it's more for hooking up than an actual relationship. I would try eharmony, Christian Mingle, or Match.com. I think you would have better luck on one of those.

Yeah, truthfully those sites are more suitable for you (the OP) given what we've seen on your profile. Although I'm not sure I would include Match.com simply because it's pretty "secular" as well.

Your best bet would be Christian Mingle only because the pool is almost exclusively Christians. I'm not sure, but they might not even let non-Christians register.

I get the impression you would be most drawn to a woman's profile who expressed her faith in similar terms as you, ChristianMingle is where that is most likely to happen.

 

[Legal_Eagle]

Tried OKCupid. Not a good site for Christians. I found eHarmony and ChristianMingle to be better for Christians.

 

[graciesings]

Idk how well that's going to work. But I like who you are

Good point. I will elaborate on some of these things.

Hehe yeah I am aiming for women who are serious about their faith. I don't want a woman who just goes to church on Sundays and then forget about God for the rest of the week.

I will try OKCupid for a bit and see how it works out. But yeah TBH it isn't easy to find Christian women on there.

Oh guys, can you look though my pictures and see which face-shot is the best choice for the icon? Thanks!

Thanks gracie. =)

For the love of GOD stay away from this horrible site. I have had nothing but bad experiences---the women on there are psychos that like leading on men and toying with their hearts. STAY AWAY!!!

Nah that's just women in general
