Not sure what you mean by "strongly worded"... | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 6:04:18 AM | This should probably be in profile reviews but meh...
Anyway, it looks alright to me but I'm not a woman. Of course, there is a simple solution to this really. Throw in one of your quirky shortcomings. You know something that says to err is human and I'm human.
That's only if you feel so inclined though. | |

One thing that I find balances high intellect is a dose of silliness. Having an appreciation for the absurd in addition to lots of brains usually results in great conversation. Worstguyonhere is hot!
As for being talked down to for not having a post-secondary education, I find that people can only look down on me if I allow it. Most people are surprised to find out that I never went to university, as my natural curiosity and aptitude for languages means I soak up information like a sponge. I have met plenty of university graduates who are barely literate, and I wonder what they wasted their money for. I'm not opposed to people going to university, I just think it's only worthwhile if you're there for the love of learning. Anyone who goes to school because somebody else told them they should is probably wasting their time. A degree doesn't guarantee you a career, and not having a degree doesn't guarantee that you won't have a career. Anyone that sees me as a lesser person for not having a degree is not worth my time.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I felt I had to address that topic.
I also just observed that with all the brilliant people in this thread, nobody felt the need to use a long string of happy faces and dancing bananas to express their opinions. Bravo! | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 9:21:24 AM | | No, not intimidating to me (I have found some profiles that were but not yours). You are focusing on the character instead of someone's looks, I think you did a great job. | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 9:45:25 AM | I don't find your profile intimidating. At the same time, I also wonder what people really mean when they put the word "ambition" in their profile. Do you mean a drive to get ahead? probably so, and sometimes I dig that apart and see it relating to money and power. To me that's a turnoff. I think it's healthy to want to grow as an individual...and unhealthy to get causght up in unimportant things in life. Just my opinion, if it makes any sense here | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 10:06:43 AM | For me personally, ambition means someone who has chosen a path and is actively working towards becoming great at it because it is truly something that they want. Now this doesn't have to be a doctor or CEO or lawyer but it can be anything.
For example, I have a friend who is a struggling musician. Instead of just loafing around playing random open mics for free beer she has really got after it by creating a very elaborate website, networking every minute of her day, booking gigs at every visible venue, has written and recorded multiple CD's and hired a producer. She knows what she wants and is willing to sacrifice and work her a$$ off for it and has immersed herself in the pursuit. I consider that ambition and its not necessarily tied to education, professional stature or money. | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 4:15:27 PM | I'm Not intimidating, but my doggy is if your Mr. squirrel or Mr. Kitty... Mr. Skunk made us both run..
The only time I can see this happening is in the religion or politics forums and then it all out war with people pulling hair and turning elbows to make others agree with their side..
I have had some mighty battles there in the past.. But they did not intimidate me.. They only made me look deeper and understand more, fight harder and know my Chit better.. No matter if I was right or wrong.
I just hate when they gang up on ya..As I am normally on the less favored side | |

Posted: 9/30/2005 4:26:40 PM | | No, not intimidating - but I'm that sort too. You will definitely weed out the ones you want to weed out, and if they are intimidated, them too. And that is as it should be. | |

Posted: 10/1/2005 7:28:50 PM | | I checked your profile... I don't see anything intimidating about it at all. (Although it should be noted that I've found "I'm working on my doctorate" to be the quickest way to run off the majority (and it's not just me-- my class is almost entirely single and female... and hardly bad-looking!). The easy way to look at it-- if she's intimidated by your profile, she's not anyone you'd want to be with anyway... | |

Posted: 10/2/2005 6:38:23 AM | | I say what rocks your boat... go for it hun. It isn't your problem if someone feels intimidated by your intellect or because u use a few big words lol. I went on a date and tend to use metaphors well I didn't even realise I was and found myself apologising and having to continuously explain myself ...it was hard work I knew that we wouldn't be right together. I'm educated but not the brightest button in the box and don't really look at a person's education because there are so many interesting articulate ppl who have left school at 16 and worked their way up through a profession they love. :) | |

Posted: 10/3/2005 5:47:25 PM | I just read your profile and I dont find anything intimidating about it.. whomever DID seem to find it intimidating obviously did so because she didnt fit the bill.
Good luck in your continued search.

Posted: 2/9/2007 10:57:31 AM | Your profile is meant to describe you!
If your porfile intimidates some for whatever reason, you dont want them contacting you anyway. do you?
I did'nt read your profile, but is sounds as if someone by chance, contacted you and they were not intimidated by what they read, (If the read it at all, which I find most dont), and they interacted with you and they were'nt what you were looking for, then you would cut-em loose anyway...
I dont see the problem with you writing your profile to attract whom you want, and if people do think its intimidating then they should just pass you by!
Se la vie! | |

Posted: 2/9/2007 11:07:26 AM | I think that it prefferable for someone to tell you exactly what they are like, it leads to less complications at a later date, better to make an informed decision than one that is made through guesswork.
Good luck in your search  | |
