So, how do I come across?

I know I will come across different ways to different people, so I'm open to constructive criticism.

Side note: I'm the long winded emailer, I've only sent four or five so far, but they're almost as long as my profile is in length. Is that too long?

Change your main profile picture to a smiling head shot of only you. I didn't even try to read it , it's too long. If you're emails are that long - then they're too long too!

Good luck, and remember- this is where we get our first impressions, just try to catch our interest and be sure you reach out and email women nearby.

yep it's too long...some very cute bits though...but seems as though you have tried to say everything ...they can wait to find out more over time..nice photo..
Also, you can describe rather than say..for instance i said on my profile something like, "i like to wear red because it helps me rocknroll faster, and teal blue because it matches my eyes" and that gives a picture to reader...they know I am energetic, rocknroll, am creative, have teal blue eyes, begin to get a picture of how I dress....and it stands out because I am saying things in a different way. I get lots of responses. (mine is also a bit too long..i think a bit long is ok, as it says something also..but WAY too long, and oh dear, the girlies may lose interest while reading.)
I love sigur ros, and what about the Go betweens? and animal collective, and scott walker, interpol, augie march? hey look up blogsite http://jimsittin.wordpress.com/ and the related blogsites attached to this....you might enjoy those i think
