I think you look awesome just the way you are.

But if you reeeeeaaaallly wanna go the extra mile..

Grow out your hair some

Black leather jacket

faded, torn jeans.

Learn to drive a motorcycle.

Get a pair of aviators.

And a bad ass attitude.

Welcome to the midlife crisis. And if you roll thru my town...you can pick me up.

Well...I am trying to let it grow out.

I am planning on replacing my nasty leather jacket this year.

I just bought a pair of faded/torn jeans.

The only hurdle is overcoming the fear of dying in a horrible crash as my Harley smashes into a Hummer, with nary a seatbelt or rollcage to be had.

...and of course, the badass attitude. Is there some sort of twelve-step process one can enroll in or something? Maybe start by joining a kickboxing gym, and graduate by starting a bar fight?

In the meantime...can I roll thru your town and pick you up in my SUV if I put a skull head on the hitch in the back?

Grow your hair out and do something extreme like mountain climbing or sky diving.

Women love men who are extreme adrenaline junkies.

Other than that your're pretty solid.

Skydiving!?!?

I'm not ready for that yet.

But I am still threatening to buy a mountainbike and hit some trails with a buddy of mine.

In fact I just installed a hitch on my car so that I can buy a bike rack.

That scores me some "dude" points, no?

What if your lady friend wanted to see you in action? You're gonna look like a poser

Purp, it doesnt have to be super extreme like skydiving. Maybe you should try scuba diving..Maybe sailing? Bitches love men with boats. It doesnt have to be a big boat either.

Badass attitude shall come with time. Just stop giving a damn...and the rest will follow.

And baby...lemme get ready and I'll wait for ya...

Nothin' says confident, available and easy like leather boots...

"Yeah baby...I got an extreme mountainbike alright...it's just getting adjusted at the shop...yeah that's it..."

I can do boating. I don't get seasick, and I got the hitch...now just need the boat.

But I am NOT wearing boat shoes. Genesia would probably crucify me.

Leather boots and daisy dukes.

UGH!!! Tyler, what have I told you about saying OLD! You need to wipe that word right outta your vocabulary young man...

Sorry.

I don't think I'm the best person to ask about style but you're a good-looking bloke. I think some of the tweaks ppl have suggested here are good, about shoes, fitted shirts etc.

Shame about the distance but I've a 24 year old friend I'd totally set you up with, who'd make you drop that "married-with-bills shuffle" for a mojo-filled swagger.

You're fetching.

OMG you're totally right. I finally believe you. You're not gay.

You're a fucking WOMAN.

I feel as if you mock me.

They way you wear your hair is important sometimes. Also sunscreen.

OK, ALLLLL the time.

Here's an Asian man roughly in his late 50s or early 60s (Yes, Asians tend to look

a little bit younger than their age). It's the hairdo and use of sunscreen.

This is the same guy with a different hairdo and a weekend at the beach with no sunscreen.

I was on match for awhile & didnt meet too many quality people, so you aren't alone. For my opinion, I would use the "cool" pic as your profile pic (or even do a close up of your face from that pic). I'd get rid of the glasses ( I also wear glasses/ contacts but didnt include in my pics). Are you listed as separated instead of divorced? That might turn some women away (but that is just my opinion:-) & how I'd feel about it).

Good luck & remember, it's just another way to meet people. Send some winks & have some fun!

Perhaps you wear the Mankini to the beach?

i think you look great..

dont change a thing about yourself!!

i think your handsome and perfect just they way you are!!

Don't think of it as mockery so much as parody.

JustErin said:

You look great in the first picture...except the shoes.

I don't think that men of a certain age should only wear dress type shoes, though. It's just those particular sneakers are too gym-y.

Yeah, I think contacts are in order.

I listed myself as Separated (we haven't filed ANY papers yet) and one person who DID reply said she didn't deal with Separated men.

I understand though.

I'm actually looking (today) for online forms that one can file to do the Divorce. I already changed my status.

The mankini is reserved for when I grow out my hair long enough for a Typhoon 'do and can get some white old-school roller skates.

Otherwise it's not worth it.

there is nothing wrong with you!!!! OK!!!

i know what its like to suffer from low self esteem, to be constantly put down - it makes u think u r not good enough and that you need to change - but thats so untrue, well for you it is!!!

when i see your pics and read your posts i see an attractive genuine man that is hard to find, honestly i am amazed you dont have a flock of crazy women breaking down your door!!!

one more thing - if change is not genuine, and fake, just an image thing... you wont be able to pull it off because you are too honest, and it wont work for you!!!

BASICALLY, we're meant to be

remove the references to prince.org, whoring, boring and not having any tats and you should see some improvement.

oh, and mention that you love EVERTHING about women. that's bound to attract somebody.

You don't think I REALLY have all that on my profile, do u?!

I was just messin' around.

Honestly, I'm trying to have fun with this. [see my disclaimer at the bottom of the original post]

I saw JustErin's thread about the online dating site, and her "Org Makeover" thread, and it just inspired me to throw this out at my org fam.

I do have an account on Match. I have a decent profile (I think) and even had a young lady proof it for me. But I sometimes think I need some sort of change. Not just for the internet. I am losing weight, gaining a lil' bit of muscletone, dressing just a tad bit better than I did say a year ago (pleeeease believe me when I say I don't really wear gym sneakers around town!!), and working on the confidence thing.

The tats are a maybe (will consider it more seriously once the ex is totally out of the picture, otherwise it could be misconstrued as me trying to appeal to her newfound addiction to tatttoos). I was considering shaving the face, but maybe not.

All honest suggestions are welcome.

But as for your last suggestion...uhm...wouldn't that seem douche-baggish? I'm honestly asking (obvioulsy I've never seen another guy's profile so I don't know what they do and don't post on there).

BUT FOR REAL! Don't these dating sites take time? I mean people probably, if they have any sense, take their time perusing many profiles before deciding to reply to one. Its like when you go to the club...you don't dance with the first dude that says hi and you don't offer to buy a drink for the first hoochie to bend over and show her skittles. You've got to check things out thoroughly.

I wonder how much money is in those dating sites.

...uhm...you DON'T?

What ELSE do I need to know before hitting the clubs? Are cumberbuns still in style?
