Just looking for some advice on maybe some things to change or adjust. Haven't gotten many matches that interested me in the first place but the ones that have either never responded or immediately closed me out (and well that only happened once, i am guessing it may of been me being younger by a few years). But any way critique away.



The one thing Joe is most passionate about:
Music and Movies are some of the finer things in life to me. While I do not play an instrument or sing (unless you classify air guitar or that pathetic excuse for singing in the car to being musically gifted), I can appreciate all forms of music. I tend to stick with Indie Rock, Punk, Electronic and Metal mostly but can respect and often appreciate all music. I would much rather go to some small venue show in Manhattan or Brooklyn than to a large concert. As for movies if I could watch a new film every day my life would be that much more complete, anything from an Indie flick to a doc to a foreign film or even a Hollywood film.


The most important thing Joe is looking for in a person is:
Ideally someone that is easy going, honest and doesn't take life or themselves too seriously. An individual that can spend an afternoon, evening or even the day laying in bed watching movies and being content on just being with someone special.



Basic Information Occupation: Video Editor Age: 23 Height: 6' 4" Wants Kids: Maybe Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity: White, non-Hispanic Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual Drinks: About once a week Smokes: Never

In my own words

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

My friends at Sesame Street have been the most influential people in my life. While I know the questions directs me with a single person it is nearly impossible to narrow it to one. Count von Count taught me numbers, Cookie Monster established my interest in quality food and the Grouch taught me my people skills...well no not really... My Aunt has probably been the most influential person in my life. She has always helped me strive for more and been a friend more so than a relative. She is definitely a person that I can trust and talk to without being judged for my actions or thoughts.


The three things which Joe is most thankful for:

  • Supportive parents and family
  • My appreciation of music & movies
  • a career in the film/video industry

Three of Joe's best life-skills are:

  • Being a good friend and companion
  • Using humor to make friends laugh
  • Making art and culture an ongoing part of my life


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

Despite my generally laid back and sarcastic nature there is a completely opposite side of me, a side that is both intelligent and sensitive. While I tend to laugh things off, I do have feelings that can get hurt from time to time. I tend to avoid serious conversations with friends as they often second guess me and ask if I am being serious or not due to my sarcastic vibe with them.


The things Joe can't live without are:

  • Music
  • My Beard
  • Computer
  • T-Shirts and Jeans
  • A comfortable bed


The first thing people notice about Joe is:

I believe people often see me as a shy, quiet and reserved person but once I get to know someones personality and limits they will often see my sarcastic, immature and silly side.


Some additional information Joe wanted you to know is:

I am looking for dating leading to an exclusive relationship, not looking for any sort of games or tricks. Just being able to meet someone that I can be myself with and them with me.


My interests

Joe typically spends his leisure time:

Everyone wishes for more free time and like them I am no exception. I often find myself in my free time playing inline hockey or simply skating around as it can be quite relaxing. I try to read as often as I can but sometimes I just can't seem to push myself to do it as often as i'd like to. Some other things I do in my free time include listen to music, catch a live show, watch a movie, possibly catch up on some TV (currently watching through "The Flight of the Conchords") or maybe even some video games. Always looking for new things to do or places to hang out especially finding new local places to eat, drink or just relax.

The last book Joe read and enjoyed:

I am currently reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, as it was recommended to me by a friend. The book has made think back on various past experiences including job interviews, relationships and random situations that I could of potentially handled differently. The book has given me a different outlook on people & life. It is something I highly recommend to anyone and everyone to read.


According to my friends:

Joe's friends describe him as:

  • Funny
  • Easy-Going
  • Loyal
  • Good Listener

Nothing wrong with your profile, except that.....reading the first two paragraphs - passionate about and looking for in a partner - it reads as couch potato looking for same. If that's correct, then you got it, if not, then think about how you can either reword or tone down the movie stuff.

Perhaps you can mention that you are a movie editor in your opening paragraph so the passion is more in context and less coach potato. I like the humor in it btw.

Other than that, be sure that you have clear nice pics of yourself posted.

I think it's a pretty good, except you might rethink your First thing people notice:

"I believe people often see me as a shy, quiet and reserved person but once I get to know someones personality and limits they will often see my sarcastic, immature and silly side."

So at first they think you're shy and quiet but then they realize you're sarcastic, immature, and silly? Now now. This section is one where you can say something really nice about yourself. When people respond positively to you, what is it that they're responding to you, do you think?

It's nice to have humor in a profile but it's good to balance it out with some straight serious stuff too.

I appreciate it. After re-reading my 4am update to my profile I can see what you mean and I am gonna trim some stuff out and add in not being a total couch potato to the mix. I feel my pics are pretty decent. However may try to arrange some others
