I borrowed the format from LaAmazona. I just made this tonight. Let me know your thoughts.

    I like it! I think it is a good mix of information. And I completely feel you on the Sudoku thing!!

    I like the format, but there are a LOT of words in there! I'm a talker myself, so I wanted to share a lot of detail but think it overwhelmed most men. Having stared at probably 500 profiles/ pics in the last month, I suggest cutting it down and sharing more of it in person. I would probably stop reading half way through, honestly...

    But I think the concept is a good one. Just use Diana's idea with simple sentences, little explanations... gives more to talk about later!! Good Luck!

    being honest I would get rid of #2 and #3 and move the one about being on bike trails up to #2.

    A lot of people will stop after the first couple and if you the first 3 are all about the same thing it comes across boring.


    edit: btw you will probably now see mine in your who viewed me.
  • I loved it! :)

    I, personally, thought it was interesting, and it showed bits of your personality and your questionable sense of humor, which I actually found humorous. :)

    I think it's great. :)

    Good luck!

    I agree, you need to make the bullet points..........bullet points! Short and snappy, not sentences. The PHD should go somewhere in the middle. I'm never sure about putting diet stuff in there. It's fine for someone off MFP, but I dont think the rest of the world would relate. Suffice to say you love running and other activities.

    The first pic is really nice. Not sure about the last one (black top) you look kinda stiff!! You dont need 2 in the same kind of pose anyhow. Try a close up face shot? A self portrait on your phone is how I do mine...lol And try pointing the camera down at you!!! That angle is far more flattering :wink:

    Other than that, your humour is great, you sound easy going and fun to be with. Good luck :flowerforyou:

    I liked it. There were a few good suggestions from other people. I think it's great how you're honest and show who you are. I'd give you a shot!

    I like it. Shows your personality...

    I do agree, some of them are a little long so I would shorten them up but other than that.. great job!

    Having gotten to know you a little through this forum, I respectfully suggest that you take away #1 (or at the very least, don't make the PhD in economics your #1 thing). I don't think it will attract the kind of woman you are looking for (judging from our private discussion on education and how people wrongly assume they know our personality based on our degrees).

    I agree with the others who suggest shortening it (I PM'd you my suggested edits)

    Love the last paragraph (dudes/smoking)
