In my eyes it is totally fine. I like it.
I agree, itās a good profile.
Looks good! I always enjoy it when the profile talks a little about the place where the person lives. If you would like to add something about your town, or State, that would be interesting to read.
Welcome to Postcrossing! I hope you love it as much as we do.
I think itās extremely cute and quite clear, I like how you thought of people who arenāt that fluent in English
Hi @KentuckyDave ! I think your profile is good. It doesnāt make any ādemandsā just says what youād especially like. Itās good that you write what you want to know about the sender too. Sometimes itās easy to pick a postcard because people have written a list of their likes but not really written about themselves or what they want to know from other people. I find these postcards really hard to write but maybe they donāt care about whatās on the back
I think the problems are when write āDONāT SEND ME X,Y,Z, CHECK MY GALLERY AND DONāT SEND DUPLICATES, I WANTā¦ā Those profiles are off-putting.
I have updated my profile. People often complained I was too specific and they wouldnāt know what to send to me. I do not want this at all and tried to find a way around this.
Opinions welcome.
I like your profile You tell us a bit about yourself, the type of postcard you like and also what you would prefer not to receive. I donāt think itās too specific at all
As a non-native-speaker I had to read this sentence twice to understand. With superficial mood and only basic english skills, one could misunderstand it as āas long as you send expensive cardsā
Maybe: But I love all kinds of postcards. Just send a card you think I will like.
(itās a never-ending challenge with communication to find a balance between sophisticated and simple)
As it was mentioned itās easy to understand for non-native speaker I showed it to my son (heās also a Postcrosser).
His English skills areā¦wellā¦heās not a language genius to be honest. Due to some issues heās still missing a lot of basics. He said that this profile is very easy to understand and he wishes also the English lessons at school could be that easy.
There were one, two words he tripped over but there he found the emojis really helpful and also his dictionary could help him. This is not always the case as people often use slang or abbreviations which are common in their region but not in English lessons in a far away country.
I would delete the definition of postcards, for that looks like you are a schoolmaster.
And I would remove tripple expression marks, for a !!! at the end of a sentence means to me ādonāt you grasp it, you damned idi*t?ā and that is not really friendly.
But in general your profile is fine to me.
Welcome Dave. I found your profile pretty good for the most part. The other members made some very good suggestions for you.
There is one area that I might have a slightly different view. That is regarding preferences. Your list is good overall. But my feeling is that listing cards you donāt wish to receive is also appropriate. Really with so many new folks joining, they might appreciate what they should avoid sending. It really depends how on you word it. Statements like āDonāt send meā¦ā are very crass. As you go along here, you will notice that some will take issue with you over this. Ignore them. The perfect profile does not exist. Some will try to follow your preferences; many will not.
Hi! Welcome!
Great profile - I would find it really easy to pick, write and send a card.
My only question would be this:
nature scenesā:national_park:
for natural scenes, are you saying that the only ones of interest are national parks? Thatās how I would read it so would not send nature if I had other options from the interest list.
Enjoy postcrossing!
But a āPleaseā before the ādonātā turns it much friendlier, I think.
Yes, it certainly does.
The was an emoji that didnāt copy when i pasted my profile. It is this emoji , which of it doesnāt show again is a river, trees and a mountain in the background. The emoji itself doesnāt necessarily limit itself to national parks, but rather nature.
The same thing happened with mosques. The emoji didnāt cross over, but did for some reason.
Ahhhhh
Now it makes sense.
Seriously - a good profile.
Hope you enjoy postcrossing!!
Hi,I would love to hear your feedbacks on my profile .Thanks

It is a nice one!
I think, you could alsoadd some Turkish writers that you like. Maybe Iād like to discover their works.
Ooh,good idea
Hi everyone! I just joined. I tried to do my best on my profile but I donāt know if itās any good. I looked at a few examples but yeah. š®āšØ
