Hi All,

Could I get a little help here please.. I know im probably a bit young for this kinda place but i'm here anyway . Could I get a little review please

[IMG]file:///Users/Alfred/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]

Things that Alfred is passionate about:

Family, I Value my family above anything, they helped me my entire life and i am grateful for having them. Friends, friends to me are like family people you can trust, and do things you sometimes cant with family. happiness, Im not looking to be the biggest CEO of a company of all times. My measure of success is how happy or fulfilled a position makes me. i would be happy with a smaller job than a big one that leaves me with no time for anyone else.


The most important thing Alfred is looking for in a person is: Kind, Caring and Understanding,



Basic Information

Occupation: IT Manager Age: 19 Height: 6' 1" Wants Kids: Maybe Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity: White, non-Hispanic Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual Drinks: Never Smokes: Never

In my own words

The most influential person in Alfred's life has been:

My Dad, He taught me to question things, he taught to listen and observe rather than yell about things i dont know about, its made me the person i am today. in an education system that teaches what it has to and nothing more, my dad got me to think outside the box and question what i was taught. to go beyond. and it has allowed me to see more than most people. to understand more


The three things which Alfred is most thankful for:

  • Great Parents
  • lucky in work
  • nice friends

Three of Alfred's best life-skills are:

  • Using humour to make friends laugh
  • Maintaining a network of close friends
  • Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things


The one thing Alfred wishes MORE people would notice about him is:

A great and diverse personality under the obvious


The things Alfred can't live without are:

  • Family
  • Friends
  • Computer
  • meat pies
  • water


The first thing people notice about Alfred is:

a smart yet funny guy who is not afraid to poke fun at things in life


Some additional information Alfred wanted you to know is:

more than meets the eye! despite some stereotypes im more outgoing than many in this day and age would believe


My interests

Alfred typically spends his leisure time:

Mainly I spend some of my time. But i challenge the norm of what society sees as a gamer. as do most of us. I game not on my own (which i find boring) but with my friends. we laugh, we play, we win. were good at what we do. when im not gaming with friends or family. I have my own indoor soccer team that i like to play with and manage with my friends. we play weekly and have fun. If i have a new book with a good story i will often get drawn into that. but im not so drawn in to turn down friends that want to go out for a bit, which is normally on a whim...

The last book Alfred read and enjoyed:

Of Fire and Night by Kevin J. Anderson. A sci-fi Fantasy book about humantiy and its strugle to survive after using an experimental technology on a world thought uninhabitable... oh how wrong they were. Humanity stepped into and reignighted a thousands year old war between elementals. hopelessly out matched, only human enginuity and their allies can save the day.


According to my friends:

Alfred's friends describe him as:

  • Funny
  • Thoughtful
  • Loyal
  • Intelligent

Alfred, it's a great profile. I am seeing more and more of your age group posting here. So it looks like your age groups are in fact starting to use the sight more. Be encouraged but patient. I like your profile and your pics are good. The one is on the dark side of lighting but I am sure it probably looks better in full size on your profile. If not, change it to a better lit one. Good job.
The spelling and grammer helpers will come along and help you out on the few mistakes you might have there.
Good luck.

This question has been nagging at me quite abit... how much does religion factor in to the equation here?

My Religious views or lack there of may rub some people the wrong way and I am wondering if this setting on eharmony affects my chances.

I dont see anything in your profile about religion. Your matching is where you will be determind to have mainly relgious matches sent to you or not. If you have chosen several types of matches (spiritual/not religious, christian, other) I think your profile will be very good. You can wait for open communication to find out where they stand on religion.
If though, your set on just a certain type you may want to add that to your profile.
This help?

Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual

This... im concerned that many people looking for a relationship will discount my profile based on the fact that i say i have no religion, I dont really blame them as religion is a sensitive topic and for many is the core of who they are.

as for my preference in settings i have no preference set.

No, not at all. You should though put into your search spiritual/non religious, christian and maybe a few others. Because not all people are looking for overly religious people.
When I started I made the mistake of putting my matches to just mine as spiritual but not religious. I later changed it to include others. That got me many more matches.
If someone only wants to meet a christian they will have chosen that in their searches. Depending on how serious they are about being matched so strictly you may come up as a flexible match to them and visa versa.
The more you add to your search the more matches you will recieve. And I found that many chose a religion but were not practicing it religiously (get what I mean?).
Your profile is great in the sense it is about you, not a religion. Understand? You will be what they will see first. The rest they will need to find out about.

First about your profile. In general it is pretty good but I did notice some general problems. In English we capitalize the first letter of a new sentence. Also when referring to oneself the "I" is capitalized. Spelling and grammar problems are frequently a big turnoff for many people.

As for your question on your religious setting. Now this is personal opinion and may not reflect others here. But your religious faith, whatever it may be, is a core value that you need to share with your partner for a successful long term relationship. Your being neither religious or spiritual should not be a benefit nor hindrance to your success on eHarmony. You should be matched with girls that share this same setting or are accepting of it.

Alfred typically spends his leisure time:

"Mainly I spend some of my time."

Spend some of your time doing what? Yes, it's obvious to me when I read on that you mean gaming, but this is an incomplete sentence.

"when im not gaming with friends or family."

Another incomplete sentence. I think you mean you ARE with friends or family when you aren't gaming. But you need to add "I am" before "with friends and family."

Another general thing that I noticed a lot but didn't want to go through to find each one, "its" is a possessive pronoun. "It's" means "it is."

I think this is a great profile aside for the grammar/spelling errors - which no one but someone who's OCD about such things would probably notice anyways It's very down-to-earth and realistic sounding - I would be happy to get this match!

Hi Alfred --
It's a great profile, really creates a "living person" who's unique. I wouldn't change the content.

Do you have a parent, sibling, friend, teacher who could help you with punctuation and sentence construction, that you'd be willing to show your profile to? The way it's written makes it harder to read than it needs to be. And some otherwise wonderful people really hate punctuation, spelling, and grammar errors!

Religion ... it sounds like your preference setting for your match should be "no preference" and importance level "low". That way your matches can weed themselves out for you ... if they're religious and they care about that, they won't match to you. If they're religious and it's not important to them, they will match to you. That's what you want right?

This is how I set my preferences and I got a lot of matches. If you live somewhere that's highly religious, it will affect your chances. But what can you do? Religion is pretty core, right? Good luck!
