Posted: 6/28/2009 6:28:49 PM | | I can't put my finger on it! However it feels like my profile is not quite right. I tried very hard to explain myself and I am unsure if I got it all off clearly. If you guys/gals could help me clear anything up I'd be very thankful. | |

Eliminate katana wielding from the first mental picture.
Not an endearing thing to most girls to imagine the weirdo with the sword and comic strip fixations. Her next image segues to a big horror scene one day on the uTube, head here, torso there, arms and legs off, she the star.
But aside from that, you write well.
And do not dwell on shy, confident sells. | |

Posted: 6/28/2009 10:27:12 PM | | Kendo and anime are huge parts of who I am though they are my main hobbies and any one getting involved with me would find out immediately. So I'd rather be up front and honest with a girl rather than lie although I truly appreciate your input maybe there is a way to keep it in there with out seeming scary? | |

Posted: 6/28/2009 10:55:16 PM | I studied martial arts and appreciate how difficult the Kendo movements are. Do you have a photo of you in the uniform in stance? That would put it into perspective. It may also be something you have in common with your viewer - there are a lot of women taking martial arts classes these days.
For occupation, why not put Student/Swordsman! so it doesn't seem like you're using a phony occupation.
You may want to trim some of the email restrictions, keep the absolute dealbreakers. The rest is negotiable, trust me. Good luck! | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 12:47:27 PM | | I don't have any pictures of me in it because I don't ever have my own...I have to rent them because I'm unable to spend like 500$ on a set of armor >.< I will however change my occupation since I have a good job now. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 12:59:07 PM | | Perhaps 20-year old women might not look at this, but I wouldn't have gotten past "Flawed" and what exactly is a "Shinigami????" Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me! | |

i agree with you here. with your age and the generation. im huge into anime i actually had to change mine because of the age i was attracting. ive dating allot of women a generation younger than me because theyre into all that..unfortunately they r also relate to because of the lack of life experience. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 10:16:12 PM | Shinigami are said to be perfect beings and in Japanese folklore they are the gods of death...equivalent to our "grim reaper" it's just a term I used to try and attract other people my age that are into the same stuff that I am. The success rate is high but most of them aren't what I am looking for. Also to assume the word flawed would stop you then I would also assume you are looking for perfection? Even the most perfect human will have flaws...I am simply open about them because I would rather not lie.
The anime generation came after my generation actually...I am one of the few and the proud that watched it since I was in diapers.
Finally! Isn't it a little ageist to assume that younger people have a hard time dating too? | |

Why isn't "Kendo" in your Interests field?
What will you be teaching when you graduate? Are you able to add that descriptor? (for example, if it's Phys Ed, that may be something you have in common with your viewer.)
You're so cute for an old soul. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 2:56:22 PM | | Ok so should I post in my profile if I would like to find a certain kind of woman and how would I do so in a way where I'm not sounding too shallow. I've had lots of girls message me but none of them seem to be what I am looking for....at all. | |

How "important" are they to you?
IMO, you would do better to mention them as interests and leave it at that. 98%+ of women are completely uninterested, and your showing too much interest in "geeky" things like that is only going to appeal to a very few. You'll do better to make your profile more inviting and appealing to a wider range of women, get past the initial meet 'n greet, and then start to bring in that stuff in the hopes that they'll tolerate it because they've found out you're such a great guy otherwise.
If anime is the center of your life, though, you ought to fly out here for Comic Con and try to meet women there  Beware - you wouldn't be the only guy trying to meet chicks into anime and similar stuff. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 6:53:59 PM | | I already go to conventions all the time. I'm a famous cosplayer XD I really didn't get into anime all that much other than that I like all kinds and kendo is mentioned only once just to say I did it and I like it. | |
