Pictures - Not the worst. A clear smile in your primary(with your eyes) is best. If you can manipulate the mirror shots so not to be taking a picture of your camera, better. Friends taking pictures of you doing something - even better.
Friends - women have friends called girls. Ex. Girls Night Out is with friends. That's going to put a damper on trying to meet people on a dating site. You mention a romantic relationship is possible, so I'd just go with Dating. If you go on a date and don't feel the spark, you can be the one to initiate the friendship conversation.
Interests - they tell a bit about you, but they are also a search tool. Notice how they are automatically turned into a web link? Use concise, popular sets of words to describe your interests so that when someone searches for "outdoor activities" you pop up. "Anything outdoors or in the water" won't be something anybody ever types into the search engine.
I am graveyard Manager at Walgreens and have been out of college for about 3 years now so my social life has taken quite a hit. Alot of my college friends are now married or moved outa state, so
night manager, not graveyard manager.
your social life took a hit - scrap it.
Your college buddies have moved on and currently are not a strong part of your life - no need to talk about how they left the scene - this profile is about you.
I am here looking for real down to earth people to connect with. Someone to have talk about the Questions of Life, the Universe, and Everything
Look for a person(woman) - you want someone to connect with you personally - not with you and 15 others.
but right now I am mostly just looking for some more friends that are not hours away.
Scrap it. Maybe mention you are looking for someone nearby with whom to spend your time. If you make friends - great. If you meet the love of your life, your profile has dumped her into the friend zone - not great.
I am laid back, easy going, complex, simple, very open minded, honest, a Gentleman, a Philosopher, quite a catch.
Complex or simple? Some philosophers might understand, but others might identify you as confused.
I love nature and do not see myself moving away from the west coast ever...but it could happen. The beach, mountains, forests, and all the other wonderful nature we have here is just too good to leave behind.
You still seem confused. Get rid of the ultimatums and the maybe. Change the negative (do not see myself...) into a positive - where DO you see yourself?
I also am a bit of computer geek(Big surprise I know. I am posting in an online dating site after all :P).
Drop the geek, just describe what you like to do with computers that makes you a geek. Being on an online dating site does not make anyone a geek.
I have a dry wit/sarcastic/odd humor that I really like and can be crude/morbid at times too; depends on the crowd/mood.
Maybe mention you have a flexible sense of humor, depending on the rowdiness of the crowd. Crude/morbid are strong negative words, almost like you'll drop the F and C bombs in front of the kids when your buddies are over.
I am not really picky in movies, music, food.
Many people like many types of movies, music, and food. Describe the ones you like the most, or don't bother wasting space with this tidbit of uninsightful knowledge.
I do not play mind games and expect the same. I fully believe that people should be more open and honest about what they really feel and think. Truth is always the best choice.
That's assumed, so you can scrap it. Else you're inviting people to challenge your beliefs, sort of like telling a teenager he can't go to the spooky house at the end of the street.
There is a bit about me, so much more I could say but you will have to send me a message to find out ;). Feel free to ask me anything you want, and tell me everything you want ;).
More assumed knowledge. There are several ways you can close a description - describe in more detail who you'd like to meet, tie into your opening, leave the reader desiring to learn more... What you have as a closing is none of that.
