Fox’s current profile has some great information, but it’s a little scatterbrained in places. He’s surprisingly free of red flags – congrats on that, Fox! You’re one of the few. The sad side? There’s a laundry list of interests, including some slashlists! What’s a slashlist? It’s a laundry list with slashes instead of commas! Let’s [...]

I threw some of the old entrants into this month’s contest. This month’s winner goes by the nickname Fox. He’s a 35 year old Texan looking for a girl with an open mind and open heart. His profile has lots of great ideas in it, but they’re just thrown into a heap. Let’s check out [...]

Thank you, Sid (and my Readers!) for being patient with me on this one. I’ve been pretty busy with work this month (still in the Adjustment Phase for new job & new city) and I wasn’t going to throw an ad together for Sid in the state I found myself in most evenings and weekends. [...]

Congratulations to Sid, the winner of the Geek’s Dream Girl Personal Ad Makeover Contest for September! Sid is a 29 year old geek boy with a sad, sad profile.

Personal Ad Makeover Contest: Brandon (AFTER)
8 Sep By 3 Comments
Brandon is the winner of the Geek’s Dream Girl Personal Ad Makeover Contest for August. His old profile was lackluster and had an ending which reeked of either trying too hard or Hannibal Lecter, depending on your bent. He’s all fixed up now so he’ll just seem like a sweet guy rather than a creepy [...]

Profile Makeover: “Vader” (AFTER)
9 Aug By 7 Comments
Lucky for Vader, his Death Star of a dating profile is now fully operational. It’s a profile like a tractor beam, drawing women in! Okay, I’m out of stupid similes and metaphors. Vader’s old profile had a boring beginning, laundry lists, and the biggest red flag paragraph I’ve ever seen. Sadly, his attempt to “communicate [...]
