| Ok. I will bite here for you. I am going to be honest. I am not bashing but I am going to be honest. First of all this should be in Profile Reviews that is where we give advice on how to make something better. I personally find the Bright red background and black lettering to be harsh on my eyes. But that is a personal choice, no big deal. The other thing is where is the Capitol letters? Did you take time to run it thru spell check which is provided on this site you don't even have to run it thru your own word program to access it. That helps immensely.
The key to a good profile is you want to put enough out there to have someone want to taste it a bit more. A profile is nothing more than aglimpse into who you are.
As far as adding music go down to Help/Suggestion forums there is a thread down there by GoneSailingBabe she explains in it how to do this process step by step.
Good luck. I also think you can catch more flies with a whole lot of honey verus. vineager. but that is just me.
This is the very first things I would do to remake or improve your profile.

| 1) horrid color choice.. that scheme causes seizures.. try nice earthy tones
2) personally I don't enjoy clicking on a person's profile to have some crappy song blaring at me.. it's like a 16 year old driving his beat up K-car up and down the main drag blaring "Ice Ice Baby" at 9 pm on a Thursday.
3) pictures of you outside smiling would be good 
4) pictures of you sitting inside not smiling in the dark make women think: SOCIOPATH
5) Asking for help is good! Whining for help is just not cool!
6) I shouldn't have eaten all those burritos a lunch... oh shit.. g2g

ROTFLMAO!
Sorry - I agree.
1) Change the colors, ....please!
2) Smile.
3) Try to add more pictures.
4) Spell check. Spell check. Spell check. Caps, commas, periods.
5) Make a list of qualities, dislikes, preferences, things you like to do. List some of your beliefs. And then re-word the list into a few well written paragraphs and put that in your profile.
Good Luck.

| ok i guess i'll give this a shoot.
Grammar and punctuation go a long way... Instead of giving it a shoot, you could give it a shot? Just sounds better IMO. Capitalize your "I's" and the first letter of the first word at the beginning of each sentence.

| Hi, 
Ok...I'm going to give my honest opinion...ready?? 
Font: I think your font is a good size and easy to read. 
Color: You changed your colors to yellow and black. That's still too much for me to want to look at the page for very long...too much contrast for me. And, I think that yellow doesn't offset your photos well. Your photos get lost in all that yellow....the yellow becomes the focus...rather than you. Everything you put on your profile page should "showcase" you....not detract from you.
Music: Add it if you like, but be selective. I wouldn't pick anything that too blaring. I would love to hear the music posted on profiles and posts...but my computer or dial up service doesn't handle it.
Photos: I think I would keep the first and third photos and replace the middle one.
Posts: I looked at your posts as well. Overall, you seem to post messages that are upbeat and respectful. Using capitals and punctuation would make them easier to read.
Other: This may not seem fair or right...but a red flag for me was "Unemployed". I don't know if it would be better for you to explain this in your profile..but perhaps listing it as "Didn't Say" would be a better option and then explain when someone expresses interest in you.
Profile: Using capitals and punctuation helps. Also...write in paragraphs with a space in between paragraphs....it makes reading a profile much more pleasurable. Also, consider the following:
a. You really only spoke about your affectionate side. Tell more about yourself and what makes you unique...including interests, hobbies, etc. Add some detail so we can get an overall picture of who you are...your profile is a snapshot of you.
b. Be careful coming off as "too affectionate" such as "love on a woman to death". Sometimes women read this as being too needy or clingy if it's overdone.
c. Also..be careful that your words don't come off as negative. I would consider revising the phrase "that's enough from my own mouth". Women who are interested in you will want to hear more about you. Call me silly...but, to me...that almost sounds like what you have to say isn't important (just the way I interpret it).
Take a look at how I revised your writing below. My corrections aren't perfect nor necessarily "correct"...but easier to read..don't you think?
Hey..my profile isn't perfect either and I could definitely improve it. Most of the people I have come to know are from the forums....so, post away!  And...step out and send an email to someone who you like what they say in a post or something in their profile. Compliment them...sincerely. You never know!
Best wishes.
***************************************************
Ok, I guess I'll give this a shot.
I pride myself on being a very loving, affectionate person. I love movies and have over a hundred on DVD. So, I like cuddling while watching a movie. I also like to go out, but am very much a home person, as well. I like quiet home evenings with the right woman. My romantic side... well, let's say, I'll sweet talk or love on a woman to death.
That's enough from my own mouth. Ladies...the rest is left to your curious minds. Oh... but will leave with this: expect to hear- honey, sugar, baby, sweetie, sweetheart etc. from me alot.

Your pictures are too dark a woman needs to see your eyes
You need to smile bigger

| my opinion is you have opinions of some of the best on DH so if you listen then you're clearly teachable
IF you are indeed teachable some woman, some where will want you! 
if you don't listen then you're probably interested in only asking questions and not listening to answers which means....that you're part of a few select individuals on here who shall remain nameless that post just cuz they want to whine 
Do what everybody else told you and next time...please ask this in the profile review thread.
