| My profile (Redux)
Posted: 1/9/2008 10:12:20 AM | I haven't been in lately so I updated my overly long profile and went with something more concise.
Hopefully by cutting it down I've avoided the conflicts between being conceited and under confident. That's a tough balance. One person reads the same thing and thinks conceited another reads the same thing and thinks under confident. I need tips on that issue so I'm back here. 
Added definitions of my interests since people didn't know what I was talking about. Also gives me that artsy warm touch some were looking for but didn't see.
Can't get the computers out of the background. I'm a computer dude so they stay. | |

Seriously it put me on a downer just reading it.
For seeking Long Term you make no mention of what qualities you are looking for in a female.
That is important.
However I can see you are intelligent by your spelling and spacing.
All the best in landing a cute female fishy in 2008
Also when it comes to a First Date come up with places you like and what you like to do. It does reflect a bit of your character and who knows some lady might like the same thing. | |

I appreciate all the great compliments.
"Seriously it put me on a downer just reading it."
Aye. Sad but true.
"...you make no mention of what qualities you are looking for in a female."
Someone a little dark and twisted like me with an artsy touch and possibly self-involved.
"...come up with places you like and what you like to do."
I listed all my interests. I find socializing with idiots en masse irritating and pointless. I do enjoy good conversation with someone of an opposing opinion delightful. Jazz with dinner and drinks is always a good time. I don't think I should put that in my profile though it sounds pretentious. Guess Sunday lunch at a pub works though. Thanks for picking my brain. | |

Terminally single implies being single is a disease with no cure. Humor in cynicism?
Overall, your profile is a bit disjointed, the list type profiles don't tend to be an interesting read. Lists work well for shopping and to do, not in describing a personality, IMO.
"I find socializing with idiots en masse irritating and pointless." I have no clue where this observation comes from, if you're implying that's your experience with the site then maybe this isn't the venue for you.
"I appreciate all the great compliments. " I believe you meant to say "comments", I don't think saying reading your profile was a downer is a compliment. A comment, yes.
Twisted and confused aren't the same. I don't "get" twisted from reading what you've written rather confused. Which leads me to believe you don't really have a good "read" or clue on yourself or perhaps how you are projecting yourself to others.
Seeking out others with opposing opinions is one thing, but for pleasant casual conversation...not a good option. Generally people are looking for compatability in a partner not conflict.
I think you need to sort through exactly who it is you are and how you're projecting that to others and what it is that you're seeking in someone to date. THen you can look at a rewrite.  | |
