Break up your text so it's easier to read, get rid of the shirtless pic, the pic of you at your dads grave and of your cars. Switch up pics often to get more views. Someone else can take it from there. GL

More pictures of you smiling would be good, especially for the close up head shots.


I discover or am introduced too.
Insert a blank row here.


and Alex skolnick to name a few.
Insert a blank row here.


My other hobbies include cars, videogames, fishing, history, books, and just about anything involving music.
Change this to "My other hobbies include cars, videogames, fishing, history, and books." You've already mentioned music earlier - no need to mention it again.


I quit drinking 5 years ago,
If you just quit because you wanted to, you don't need to mention it. From reading the forums, a lot of women are put off by men that don't drink so maybe save it for a conversation during a meet. If you quit because you had a drinking problem (which is what most people will assume), again, you don't need to mention it but if you feel you have to, save it until you've had a couple of dates.


I’m not into the bar scene and I don’t smoke.
The non smoker bit is already mentioned at the top of your profile so no need to mention it again. Maybe you could change this bit to "I'm not into the bar scene and prefer to spend my time xxx, xxxx or watching movies" and then move your movie blurb down to follow on from this statement.


I’m in the middle of deciding what’s next in life; I finished my associate in arts degree and plan to start on a bachelor’s degree in history.
I'm being picky but capitalise Associate in Arts and Bachelors. It looks much better :)


PS: Feel free to message me; i'm always up for an intelligent or even unintelligent conversation. Everyone has something interesting to talk about.
It's generally considered not a good idea to ask people to message you. They know how to use the site and WILL message you if they want to. Are you really up for unintelligent conversation? Most likely not (it gets boring fast) - and it's therefore disingenuous to say you are.


First Date
Dates are overrated and unnecessarily stressful. its easier to just talk about life and what you are up to. no pressure, nothing expected, just gained knowledge. IF....we end up on a date, we're going to get to know each other a little better and take time to listen to each other. There's nothing sexier than a girl that can listen and relate. Women are more beautiful to me when I get to know them, because looks change over time, but the core of who a woman really is...is irresistible to me if she's kind and intelligent.
This is meant to be about what you would suggest for a first meeting. Remove all the philosophical stuff. (Move it up into your About Me if you want to). You are overthinking it. Just make some simple suggestions of what you might like to do on a first meeting.

I meant to say also, overall it's not too bad a profile. Nothing glaringly wrong with it so I've just made a few tidy-up type of suggestions.

The most important thing is to get some close up head shots with a nice big smile.

Try OK Cupid as well... there's more intellectual/artsy/musico girls over there even if it's not got as big of a profile base. It still sucks, but use both. \../,

Every profile on here, girls will talk about how they LOVE music and fast cars, but in actuality, they don't show the least bit of interest when I guy rocks that stuff.
