Review my Profile (25/M)

The one thing John is most passionate about: I'm pretty passionate about life in general. generic line. I have read 2000 profiles, Everyone says this. I like surrounding myself with friends and family - very common response.and people I care about, as well as take time to enjoy life and relax. seen this 1000 times. Writing would be the thing I am most passionate about. I'm hoping to get my first novel published soon.
John, it sounds good but it won't help you stand out. Everyone writes something like this. It says almost nothing about who you are.
Pick 2 things that make you want to get out of bed in the morning and expand on them. Make the reader beliieve that you really enjoy/care about these things. Don't just list things here.
if you love to write then start with that. It is unique. Also, write using a narrative style. It is easier to read and sounds as if you are speaking to the reader.
"I took and interest in writing when I was ............I love to write about......I am hoping to publish a novel about.....".



The most important thing John is looking for in a person is: I'm looking for a genuine person. Someone who is a straight shooter, who will always speak their mind. I respect people who mean what they say, even if we don't agree. Someone who understands my dry sense of humor is a must (some people just don't get it.)
Sounds good. Although I have read "genuine" quite often but I agree that it is a rare quality that can be overlooked.

In my own words

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

I think my college friend Drew and my freshman roommate Kevin had the most influence on me. Drew opened my mind to a lot of things (mostly technology and quantum physics stuff, ha ha) and Kevin helped me come out of my shell early in my college career. Oh, and my friend Josh, who shows me what not to do.
You could expand on this a bit unless you think it's too personal. Can you tell a short story here?


The three things which John is most thankful for:

• My parents who have always supported my (sometimes odd) life choices. take off "odd" unless you are going to tell us what it means. It may scare people. What does odd mean??
• Being able to talk comfortably with pretty much anyone
• Napa isn't all that exciting, but I am really glad I was born here Why? "Being born in Napa because........."

Three of John's best life-skills are:

• Continuing to expand my knowledge and awareness
• Using humor to make friends laugh
• Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things

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

I guess that I am a happy and positive person. My regular expression, I am told, is sort of serious. I don't have one of those naturally smiling faces, except for when I am talking to people.
Be careful how you answer this question. People may think that you are in denial. You can say the same thing but maybe rephrase it. "When you first meet me you may see me as a serious person, but once you get to know me a bit you will notice that I am......."

The way you phrased it makes it sound like we may never see it.


The things John can't live without are:

• Food (For the love, not the physical need)
• Laptop
• iPod
• Eliptical
• Computer/PS3

You can expand on these to make them more personal.
-what type of food?? "Food, especially Italian..."? It will reeal more about you.


The first thing people notice about John is:

I'm not really sure. If it is someone I am having a conversation with, hopefully they notice how easy going/funny I am. I love making people laugh and I am comfortable around pretty much everyone, even if I don't know them.


Some additional information John wanted you to know is:

I'm really just looking for someone who can be my best friend (as corny and cliche as that sounds). Someone that I can always have fun and joke around with, as well as someone who will tell me what I need to hear. - are you looking for an honest person or someone who is going to be there to make you feel good whethere they are being honest or not? Rephrase this. I hope to find that here. Talk to you soon.


My interests

John typically spends his leisure time:

I like to play video games (RPGs and action games, if you like them too). Right now I am playing Red Dead Redemption, which is a western themed game. It is brutal in the best way, ha ha. I also like to write, as I mentioned. Reading is one of my favorite things to do too. I love the Harry Potter books, and the Robert Jordan series Wheel of Time is incredibly detailed and 'epic' (I'm afraid that this word has gone the way of 'awesome' and lost it's meaning). Although I don't consider it leisure time, I also help my parents take care of their property (only an acre) and I try to exercise regularly.
Sounds good. You said you like to spend time with friends as well. What do you like to do with them? If you and I were matched together I would be wondering if there was anything we could do together. Most of these sound like solitary activities.

The last book John read and enjoyed:

I lent it to a friend, but I think the title was Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It is a fictional tale of Jesus from the time he is a child to when he is crucified...and it is hilarious! Basically, Jesus acts just like you would expect. He doesn't sin, though he is curious about sin. So he has his friend Biff experiment for him during their travels. It is really well written and imaginative. Seriously, if you aren't worried about blasphemy or anything, read it.
