I always, (used to ), respond to humorous profiles, guys who make it obvious they don't take themselves or date sites too seriously. I agree with other posters that the word 'gentleman' gives off a bad vibe, like you wear a bowler hat everywhere and are looking for the kind of 'lady' who can challenge you to a game of tennis without breaking an unladylike sweat. She'll notice you have nice manners, etc, when she meets you, and she can see you're educated, intelligent, etc, by the fact that you can spell and string a coherent sentence together, (don't laugh, this is not a common trait among people on date sites). Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm going back to the drawing board to work on a new profile. In the meantime the one I currently have is better than that new one I wrote.

chillii Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) But funny , back when l was amazed how many women wrote on theirs , l'd just like to meet such and such type of gentlemen , talking women later 40s early 50s , it always surprised me that even some of the more cooler looking still chicks type women used a word like gentlemen . But when l saw that l usually thought even if she did look this or that and maybe my type , she'd probably be a bit stuffy and straight arse for me bc l couldn't imagine any woman of mine using the term gentlemen. But so at the same time if he used it on his page , it probably would've been fine going on that. Who knows. Edited March 30, 2020 by chillii Link to post Share on other sites

I mean that’s definitely not boring anymore. But probably a tad too confusing and a smidge too weird for most. I know.. you just can’t win. I applaud your creativity though and I think you’re getting warmer. Edited March 30, 2020 by Cookiesandough Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of got the idea from when Sean first me Juliet in the TV show Psych, which is one of my favorite shows. I thought it might make things more interesting and be different. You can see the part here. Maybe it doesn't translate into a profile https://youtu.be/vXC7_OIoGI0?t=72 Link to post Share on other sites
