According to him, I mean.

A bunch of women here said they think he's attractive. Non Asian Women who like guys like him are out there.

Aspieboy, if you really have all these talents then you're not a dime in dozen nor a some clone guy in the street.

I bet those who said that about your looks earlier would kill to have a multi-talented guy like you.

I wish I have half of your talents.

Hey, I am not sugar-coating I am never known at this.

But I've said before, women's profiles are morel likely to be very brief and short, and i don't think the study is taking this into account (if yes, please quote).

they would have compared profiles of similar lengths, otherwise the data would be invalid.

by the way, you're off base in your assumption that women's dating profiles are usually shorter:

Quote:

Most self-descriptions were short passages, with 90 percent of them between 40 and 305 words. Men’s self-descriptions were 11 percent shorter than women’s, a median of 106 words for men versus a median of 118 words for women t (9,767) = 3.9, p < 0.001. Self-descriptions by those in their 30s, 40s, and 50s were 13 percent longer than those by younger or older people, t (4,538) = 7.9, p < 0.0001.

instead of getting other people to disprove your faulty assumptions, you should try doing the research yourself.

Thanks for your post. This is helpful and I am not being sarcastic.

Thank you! I felt that, rather than just being given a load of opinions, you might find some more constructive feedback helpful. Certainly there have been enough times when I've been utterly baffled by something because I'm told it's not right without anyone telling me what to do about it.

The profile is like a job application. It's there to sell you as suitable for the position, but like the application it doesn't need to go into everything. It's there to get you to the "interview stage" (that is, a date). The date is when you make the real impact.

Oh, this may be obvious to you already, but I'd recommend not mentioning Aspergers on the profile page. It can scare people off. When you actually meet them, if things seem to be going well, that's a better time to mention it. People seem to have a subconscious impression that it means you're Rain Man or something.

Mister Starfish? That just makes you sound rubbish in the sack.

The description is a bit cliche, but then again, what would I know, I'm not really the average girl, I like weird things about guys most women don't care about.

Haha yeah the username sucks I know. I can't seem to come up with a decent name that doesn't sound stupid argh! My description is cliche? Well I am hoping that the description of my first date isn't cliche either...

I would enjoy dating a woman who is open-minded and willing to try new things. E.G. Willing to try exotic foods, go para-sailing, hike mountains, go see a stand-up comedian, etc, because you haven't before. I would like to meet a woman who is spontaneous and likes to laugh. I enjoy being with a woman who likes to have deep conversations for hours at cafes, in front of a fire, or even up til the wee hours of the morning.

Some parts of this definitely do not seem cliche...but you meant the "about me" section right? Yeah...needs a lot of work. I suck at this stuff.

There's heaps of names. What are your interests I'll give you some ideas.

Ok here is a list of things I find interesting:

being alive , philosophy, psychology, sociology, songwriting, playing guitar, synths, novels, foreign films, staying up late, cooking, traveling, photography, geography, humanism, thinking green, animals, hiking, snowboarding, jungles, PC games, poetry, sculpting, drawing, boardgames, card games

There are much more rattling around in my brain...but this should be enough. I appreciate the help.

Quote:

songwriting, playing guitar, snowboarding, poetry, sculpting, drawing, cooking.

You still can't get a girlfriend with all these?

Weird.

Well...I am shy. I don't exactly go around telling girls I meet: "Hey girl! I play guitar! Rock on!" Like some of the other douchebag musicians you find loitering at Guitar Center or local community colleges. I don't mean to brag, but yes I am pretty good at writing songs and composing, BUT women can tell I am shy and then my musicianship doesn't matter. Probably why geniuses like Beethoven were pretty lonely (aside from his gradual hearing loss). I am only an amateur at cooking, snowboarding and sculpting. I am no da Vinci...

Alienboy, OKCupid has done a lot of research about effective profile pictures

http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/dont- ... -accident/
http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-4 ... -pictures/

it may be worth considering these articles. also, you may actually have some success on OKCupid as opposed to PoF if you don't already have a profile there.

If there are people that doubt that I have had Asian girlfriends in the past...I will post some photos of me with them. Do I have to do this? It is not a big deal to me.

no, people just don't really read posts that fully sometimes so it seems like they managed to skip over the 2 or 3 times you mentioned you had actual girlfriends.

I honestly feel that I might have to as it would help back up my claims that I have had girlfriends...all being Asian.

Here are photos of me with my Asian girlfriends of the past.

There are a few photos with my ex gf's and friends of theirs. I have other girlfriend photos on my computer, but I figured this proves my point...I can only attract Asian women...

Yes thanks a lot! They are helpful that is for sure. I am pretty clueless with how to look interesting to most women...especially on a dating site.

Following that second link, here's what it says:

Quote:

Of course, there is some self-selection here: the guys showing off their abs are the ones with abs worth showing, and naturally the best bodies get lots of messages. So we can’t recommend this photo tactic to every man. But, contrary to everything you read about profile pictures, if you’re a guy with a nice body, it’s actually better to take off your shirt than to leave it on. We would never suggest to a Fitzgerald or a Dave Eggers to limit his profile to 100 words, and so why should guys with great bodies keep their best asset under wraps?

Quite interesting, don't you think?
