First, let me say that I am not new to online dating, my friend did not put me up to it, and although it has been a mixed bag for me people I know found people from this very site.
Your opening is one of the most important parts of your page. Yours is not so good. This is the first thing a lady reads about you and it really says nothing about you other then making a statement that is not helping the cause.
While I know we are supposed to sell ourselves here, everything anyone ever writes makes everyone seem the same and perfect. I have my flaws like everyone else and I am working on making myself a better person everyday. I have a personal trainer who is working on my health and fitness with me. I am a professional, I have a career and not a job. I live alone with my dog Romo and my Cat Chivas. I have a 6yr old son who I see every other weekend. I have a good relationship with his mother and am not looking for a mother for him. He is just part of my life, and needs to be considered in a potential relationship.
Not bad, I would lose the first sentence though, it reads negatively and is not helping you out any.
I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I am not damaged goods either. I have a positive outlook on life, I like camping, outdoors, movies, fixing things, bar-b-que with the friends, and friendly get-togethers. I am manly enough to defend your honor, fix the plumbing, guess what might be wrong with your car... but I am sensitive enough to keep my hands smooth for holding and to understand when something might be bothering you. I am smart enough to leave it alone at times too when I should.
Not bad, but we have a 'I' fest going on. I,I,I,I,,,,,, Consider working around a few of them, not all of them mind you, but a few of them to cut down on the 'I' factor. It make reading your text clunky and hard to read in places.
I am funny, I know everyone says that, but I find I am always making people laugh around me. I pride myself on being charming and actually funny. I think that one of the best sounds on earth is a woman laughing.
Ewwwww, I would just ditch this. If you are funny, show it. Everyone does say it, so why are we? Funny people are just funny, they don't say it.
My humor is witty, I love to quote funny lines from movies with friends. My humor can be odd at times ( I call it sophisticated humor ) and my behavior can sometimes match it. I am here to find someone to build a relationship with, to get to know them, see if we click. Then take it from there. I am loyal to a fault and every past relationship ( not dating ) has been no less than three years. Why do something if you're not going to put your all into it right?
Again with the humor, show some of it!
Some things I want to do more of. I want to travel more ( see England and Germany and definitely Japan), I want to go on cruise and I want to sit on a beach and drink a corona and see blue clear water. I also want to get a tattoo and jump out of an air plane.
You should condense this with the paragraph above it. Startin to sound like we are struggling to say more. This is good info but you should consider condensing it. This is also a great place to show that humor we keep talking about.
More than anything I think I want to meet that woman who inspires me to want to paint her a mural, build her a house, sculpt her a statue. I want her to be the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing i think about before I fall sleep. Life is meant to be shared with someone special, when you've tasted it, you only want more!
Not to sure about the last line, I will leave that to some of lady reviewers.
If you message me I will respond. If I am not interested, I will tell you, never hurts to reach out and communicate with someone. Cost you nothing but the time it took to write something.
Ditch this. Makes you sound desperate, I am not saying you are but it certainly is not helping the cause any. If you do things right it goes without saying.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Ditch it.
First Date
Lets get though the initial correspondence part then see where that goes. No point is saying where we would go without knowing each other a little bit first.
Put something you would liek to do a first date. What you put is kinda obvious.
More pictures will help, lots of them!
Good Luck.
