Uh, Barona........hate to say this, but that picture says couch potato....could you do something slightly more active? Unless you are a couch potato, that is.

And I mean that in all sincerity.

Put up a new photo. Is it awful?

I see no one's commenting on this, so I will. You did ask.

I find it off-putting. What I get from it, correct or incorrect, is that you're nervous about revealing how you look.

Do you have a friend you could ask to take some photos of you "for a dating site?" Find a nice nature background, or an art museum, or a farmers market. Take at least ten pics, choose the one you like best, blur out your face so it looks natural but non-identifiable. You would look both more approachable and more confident.

Thank you for the input. I definitely will consider what you have said, though I would appreciate other opinions.

Actually, I have a delightful smile going in that photo, and it's a pity that I couldn't show it. I just didn't want friends or my employer coming across this profile.

I really appreciate the advice, I do, and far be it for me to reject constructive criticism or get defensive. That said, is it really so important that I convey an active or interesting lifestyle in my CM profile photo? I'm just trying to provide a general idea of what I look like. Now I need scenery?

If being active is important to you then yes. If it's not then no. I think you said in your profile about being a couch potato so then a couch potato photo would be fitting.

Better profile than some. Bit negative in parts.
Perhaps drop the part about not replying to emails of people who email you.

Well I give her GIANT KUDOS for leaving her clothes ON.. which is more than I can say for more and more women on this site! (And I am NOT inferring she would look bad with them off, either.)

The background she has chosen is fine; there aren't clothes on the floor, a bunch of rumpled bedsheets behind her, or dirty dishes stacked in a kitchen. She's dressed very nice. : )
The funky little eyes she added are a bit bizarre to me though......
