its not bad but its not special either

I think you are perfect. But I'm an old woman so all you guys seem perfect to me.

My only suggestion is to be more vague so you don't raise any red flags. Nobody needs to know what you eat or what music you like. In real life, those things might bore you if you are too much alike so it's nice to find someone who compliments you in opposite ways.

You seem to have a good grasp of who you are but people have their own preconceived notions of what they think they want. Be more universal so you can attract a wider audience like commercials do. In advertising the more you say the more they get glossy eyed and move on so capture them with a very general idea so they can formulate their own desires and attach them to you then you'll have a wider audience. Unless of course you are looking for only one specific person but that's not the case since you are here looking for opinions on how you should present yourself.

Your self summary is a good sentiment to have and something I also personally adhere to, but putting it on your dating profile like that only makes you sound judgmental. Starting it off with a question makes it come across as particularly interrogating, too. There are ways to express that you are a passionate guy looking for similarly driven people without putting others down, you even directly refer to an entire group of people as "losers" at one point. It's hardly a positive vibe to start off your dating profile with!

I disagree as usual. I don't like country but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like a guy who liked country if he had other traits so if I saw that he liked country I would be totally turned off. Same with rap or pop. What if he liked Rianna? On the internet you can just chuck anyone who has a slight difference from what you are looking for.

I doubt people bother reading profiles. Long profiles are a turn off. The profile picture(s) are what we are primarily judged on and if people find you unattractive they will usually not respond to you regardless of the content of your profile or your message.

The profile itself looks fine to me, but I'm thinking maybe the pictures might need some refreshment, but I'm not a professional in online dating, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Thank you, good points all.

It did sound pissy. I was in fact pissed, heh.

I think I've de-pissed it now; the revision is live.

On the plus side, the cause of the pissiness helped me figure out what I really like about the people I like, and dislike about the people I don't. So that's why I rewrote the profile originally.

jblitzen,

will you marry me?

I'll take that as a compliment, heh. You're welcome to message me through that site.

LOL.... with that income bracket, I'm surprised you don't have more of... er... certain types of women purring at your heels and cooing with interest! You'll be buying dinner of course...


Everything else looked decent as far as I could tell.
