Men, take note...

I've been dabbling in online dating.  Its been quite the trip.  I'll just say that there are ALL KINDS out there and to each his own.  However, can I just make a few suggestions?

Men, in your online profiles:

• Don't try too hard.  
• Listing MMA as one of your interests attracts maybe .005% of women, and those women don't shave (except their facial hair)
• Posting a picture w/o your shirt on is indeed classified as douchebag worthy.
• A picture with sunglasses on doesn't do you any favors either.
• When the site asks "The most private thing you're willing to admit here", your answer of "well that won't make it private then" is just lame...better off leaving it blank...

Simple.

I'm attaching bits of one of my favorite profiles...neverthemind that this guy is hot.  His profile was equal part cheesy and charming...(I hope he doesn't mind...)

Ladies, agree...swoonworthy?  Or at least kinda cute, right?

My Self-Summary

I spend a lot of my spare time with friends and family. I have a reputation for re-telling stories to the same people, which I think will be a charming quirk when I get older. It’s nearly impossible to offend me, and I find comedy in just about everything.  I have a reputation for re-telling stories to the same people, which I think will be a charming quirk when I get older.

I’m a sucker for affection. If you like me, touch me.

What I’m doing with my life

I figured out in college that I’m a “techie”—good at math, engineering, etc.—who wishes he were a “fuzzy”—good at writing, art, and the like. I was lucky enough to get a job that straddles that line, where the techie me can create software that works, and the fuzzy me has the creative outlet of designing something worth having. Fuzzy me.

The first things people usually notice about me

I did a quick survey. I heard:
1) my eyes (blue, blueish green, or green, depending on, um, whatever you like best),
2) my blip on the gaydar screen (it’s caused trouble),
3) my ass (see #2), and
4) my sweet nature plus the fact that I am kind to animals and a true gem.


My mother was included in this survey.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Food deserves its own paragraph. Here you go, Food. This one’s for you. I’ve been thinking about you all day. You look really hot in that miniskirt steak, by the way. Did you change your angel hairstyle? Your scent is fantastic. I’d love to drizzle hot chocolate all over you. I’m getting carried away.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I know pi to 26 places, which has proven useful -2 times. I can also recite the entire script of The Princess Bride, which has proven useful +2 times.
