Ok Stonecastle, rather than rip hole in your profile I'll give you some tips to make it better and there are worse out there but there are also a lot better.

Firstly - Pictures
You need a good main picture or your face & shoulders that they will see. You aren't even using your best image.
At least use the second image where it looks like you're smiling and you can't see your facial hair. If you have a friend who is good at photography/a photographer get them to take a picture of you wearing something stylish and use that as your main dating/facebook/whatever pic

Then aim to have 2-3 other photos listed below:

• Photo of you doing something interesting (skydive/cycle/funny pose)
• Decent picture of you with friends (i.e. looking social & cool but not football)
• Good full-length photo from at least your head to your thighs - girls like to know what they're getting into and again if you dont have one ask your photo friend

Secondly - Information
Ok lets change a little bit of your information:
- Change your education to at least college.
- Change your profession to something a little more telling or funny. I used to work in IT for a college. It mainly meant fixing photocopiers so I called myself a reprobait. If you work in a warehouse call yourself a Forklift Truck Stuntman
- Change your seeking for long term to dating (sounds more fun, less serious)
- Add more interests: reading, cider/real-ale tasting, stand-up comedy, live music. Add a funny one like spontaneous break dancing and change computers to I.T.
- Change your want children to unsure. You can clarify your position on a date


Thirdly - Profile Text & Title
Ok your profile text is very wordy, not super attractive and in some cases can be a little insulting to potential dates.

- Lets change the title to Stonecastle: Keep Watching; I might do a trick...

- Here is a suggestion for something better as profile text. It's merely a suggestion but the idea is to get them hooked:
"They call me stonecastle because I like looking dramatic on hills

I cycle because it's great for my buns, doesn't kill polar bears and the traffic wardens leave me alone which pretty much sums up the important points - I have buns of steel, I'm caring and like the rest of the country I'm not fond of traffic wardens.

I want somebody who makes me smile and who I can make smile too, so do you want to smile with me?"

Finally - Messages
Ok so that's the base stuff covered and you could probably change that in 10mins (if you have the photos available) but the clincher is that you have to get your messages right

You need to make sure that you're sending them to the correct people - make sure that your sending them to girls ages 30-50. Girls under 30 will be slightly creeped out by a 47yr old sending them message. I'm not trying to be harsh, just honest.

There are several schools of thought regarding sending out messages, some people go with a short one line question, I prefer a couple of lines that get a girl involved, such as:

Hey you've got a really cute nose/hair/sense of style/smile
or
I had to tell you you looked really like Liv Tyler (or insert an appropriate famous person's name

followed by:
"Look, I'd ask you out for a drink but we both know that the internet can be a strange and creepy place, so I have designed a few precautionary questions to ensure my safety:"

Then just make up 3 random questions:
Pasties or pies?
pink or purple?
dancing or singing?
washing up o drying?


Now apply it to real life:
Firstly Presentation - girls like a guy who takes care of himself. It doesn't mean you need to look perfect but at least take a litle pride
Secondly your life information - not everyone can be a CEO of Mercedes-Benz but again present it nicely and have belief in yourself.
Thirdly & finally- When you open somebody, be fun, not serious. I dislike the idea of DHVing and demonstrating higher value, but people will always like somebody who brings value to their life with humour, intelligence and honesty so I prefer bringing value rather than demonstrating it.

Genuinely LOLed

Although I have a theory that your from a website like puahate and are attempting to troll us. I'll give you hand, what are forums for huh?

And although you probably don't like it I'm going to be a harsh son of a bitch, because I am nothing than a being behind a computer screen. I will put this in simple steps they may be difficult but hey, Rome was not built in a day:

1: Get a haircut - You live in London - Go to somewhere £15+ or even a hair school i.e. freehaircuts.co.uk in Liverpool St which is free
2: Go to the gym - follow the regime I posted here: http://www.puaforums.co.uk/fitness-n...p-running.html
3: Get a hobby - Rockclimbing, dancing (Yes you will look like a twat in the beginning)
4: Online profile - 4 photos, fix the text
i) Photo with a point of interest i.e. a puppy
ii) In a social situation i.e. with your friends (you'd better be having fun)
iii) Doing the hobby we discussed in Step 3
iv) Freestyle i.e. another of the above
5: Read books - preferably non-fiction but fiction is fine.

By now you'll be a comfortable normal human being with some experiences and stuff to talk about.

7: Find a wingman
8: Go out be direct: Hey hows it going? Hey you're cute, what's up?

All processes should take you less than a month to complete but all of will be ongoing.

Now stop being a depressed bastard and do something.

You guys do know has a real mental condition. This is from people who know him. Not in a funny jokey way, in a clinical, medical way.

I may understand his stubbornness then and why he is hooked by PUA companies.

However, I'm not going to retract my previous statement/s.

^^^and thats being nice

I am not hooked on PUA companies. I have just learned a lot from them in the past few years. The only reason I started looking up pick up material on the internet was because I had already been doing cold approaches in various places during the day as well as a lot of night game many years back but had not got anywhere with women. So I wanted to find out what I was doing wrong. A few years ago I didn't even know there was a PUA scene I started off by looking for books on pick up. I also used to post on other forums about my lack of success with women, on ordinary community forums and someone on one of those forums posted me a link to this documentary from spring 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a51DipqHFeo

No comment on the fantastic advise you've got from a few guys on your profile. Does that mean you don't agree?


Rewind a few days, you were hailing Adam Lyons like he was the best person ever.

I'm interested to what you think you learnt off PUA gurus that you don't think you could have learnt on this site?

Unless a girl meets up with more than one guy. I know, sounds crazy. I mean, I had sex with a girl from OKCupid once and she didn't even ask to see proof of income first. What a bunch of slags.
