    Not enough detail, very dry and you repeat yourself over and over.

    1. Get a better picture. Taken from a webcam with a mouse in your hand isn't a good look, even if you're Brad Pitt. Add a selection of pictures if you can.
    2. Body type, athletic? Sorry, but going on your one picture I'd say no. Average body type. Putting what people see as incorrect information will make some question your truthfulness.
    3. Remove the first line from your profile. You're height and that you own a car are already noted in the general information. No need to tell folk your weight and that you own a house!
    4. Second sentence. Too sparse. Give an example, build a story. Do you like to go hill walking, or stroll through the park on a Sunday etc?
    5. Third sentence. Once again, elaborate. Name some movies you love and why you like them.
    6. Fourth sentence is basically a repeat of your second sentence. They now think you are Mr Boring.
    7. Remove "I just want a loving, close relationship ." Sounds needy, women don't want needy.
    8. The great outdoors again, "I love being out and about in the great outdoors". This guy must really love the great outdoors. That's three time in a very short profile.
    9. At least after that you inject a bit of your humour and personality. More of this guy please.
    10. Personal pet hate, but who doesn't enjoy a "giggle". Everyone has some form of humour that they enjoy, so it would be better to expand on what you like in the types of comedians or comedies you enjoy.

    Overall, stop repeating yourself. Add more detail to what you enjoy doing and don't be afraid to add your own humour to it. Also stop with the exclamation marks at the end of random sentences!

    Fully agree there!!! Its also has the highest number of girls who aren't really looking and just want a ego boast of someone being interested in them

    Not aimed at yourself by the way, just another geralastion
