A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (27 March 2011):

chigirl agony auntI don't know what MOsh Pits is.

As for your message, not to be picky, or lower your spirits, but that is boring and wont attract much attention. Please don't brag about yourself (not that you have yet, except I think you were when you said "raking in cash"?). Bragging about one self is unattractive. Being proud of one self is one thing, bragging with no shame is unattractive.

As for your message, you NEED to clean up the grammar or else a woman with intellect will not be interested. If you can spell, then do so. Or else she might (probably) think you're incapable of writing properly. That is also unattractive.

I edited your post and corrected the grammar and punctuation in addition to adding comments. Hope that helps you more. Write LONGER and more DETAILED. Give of yourself you know, don't clam up. Make her wanting more!

"Hi! My name is Josh. Apart from my profile I'm a university student, studying civil engineering. (Then add in why you study civil engineering, what you like about it, what you plan to do with that education in the future etc).

I enjoy the beach (that was very random information, explain why you wanted to add that piece of information, and share WHY you enjoy the beach. Is there a beach next to where you live for example? If so tell more about the area where you live and give the woman a "view" of where you live and what you like about it).

I was interested in your profile because it said you are a DJ (why is that interesting to you?).

I particularly like Escape the fate, Maroon5 and I find the party stuff interesting (party stuff? What stuff?). What type of music do you like (is this really something you want to know? Or do you have more interesting question, something else you'd ACTUALLY give a crap about? Or are you a dedicated music person who needs to know her tastes or else she's not interesting to you? Why do you want to know her music tastes really? Are there other things that could be interesting to know?)"

its more on the side, since im doing Civil engineering at uni and im working as a traveling salesman... im raking in the cash but dont have much time to go out partying. and i find the MOsh Pits disgusting. sweaty and looks like u have to be drunk before it makes any stupid sense in a night club.

A male reader, PM Canada +, writes (25 March 2011):

PM agony auntAs someone who used to use a lot of dating websites, I have to second chigirl's suggestions.

If you want to stand out, you need to use proper grammar and punctuation. When communicating through text, you need to show that you have some kind of command of proper writing technique. Unless the girl you're writing to is someone who's a big texter, she is not going to be impressed.

In terms of what you actually write, write the things that you like about you that you would like your ideal girl to like about you. Do you want to be with a girl who likes you for being quirky or good with electronics or a musician? If so then tell her those things about yourself. Writing more about yourself is about letting her get a chance to get to know who you are and who you think you are.

A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (25 March 2011):

chigirl agony auntFirst you need to use proper grammar. Then you need to use your imagination. My advice is to just be straight forwards and tell things about yourself. No need to get into the deep and personal things, but the regular things you'd tell someone you just met. Consider it a test of your intellect, if you can't think of anything to say about yourself then you have failed. An interesting person will attract attention, so share of yourself. But stay honest!

A male reader, adamskidude United Kingdom +, writes (25 March 2011):

adamskidude agony auntI'd imagine your about me section is more factual like "I work in a bar, I drive a corvette" etc so tell her things that you like in relationships and be specific.

You might quirk her intrest. Tell her something intimate like "I love it when girls fall asleep on my chest" it's kind of romantic, probably true and not too suggestive or provocative.

On a side note, I think youre too young to have given in to dating websites you should be out there yourself doing the hard work. :)
