The one thing Daniel is most passionate about: I like reading - sitting at home with a snack and a book is nice. I also like going out once or twice a week to see the latest movie - Prince of Persia, Shrek Forever After, etc. I enjoy anime quite a bit, and have found a number of new anime though a local anime club. I listen to a fair amount of music - I like Metal, but also like other kinds of music - Psykosonik is a favorite of mine.


The most important thing Daniel is looking for in a person is: A kind, caring heart





Basic Information

Occupation: Valero CSR Age: 22 Height: 5' 11" 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 Daniel's life has been:

A close friend of mine - helped me overcome alot of emotional hardship


The three things which Daniel is most thankful for:

  • My Family
  • My Friends
  • My Job

Three of Daniel's best life-skills are:

  • Creating romance in a relationship
  • Using humor to make friends laugh
  • Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things


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

That any shyness isn't because i don't want to open up, it's just that I don't want to say or do something unintentional that might be embarassing or socially awkward.


The things Daniel can't live without are:

  • Romance
  • Kindness
  • Food
  • Sleep
  • Companionship


The first thing people notice about Daniel is:

My appreciation for jokes, humor, and comedy.


Some additional information Daniel wanted you to know is:

I'm a romantic - the kind that most of my friends would groan and roll their eyes if they knew -laughs-


My interests

Daniel typically spends his leisure time:

I tend to play video games, mostly Role Playing Games, reading books like Artemis Fowl, and watching TV.

The last book Daniel read and enjoyed:

Servant of a Dark God was the last I read - story about a boy with questionable origins in a land ruled by Divines who have hoarded all magic, stored in objects known as 'weaves' for themselves. I liked the idea of their magic, outside the the usual 'born with it' or 'magical wands' magic.


According to my friends:

Daniel's friends describe him as:

  • Kind
  • Loyal
  • Sweet
  • Romantic

You described your leisure time, not really passions. Pick one or two things and really describe that. Do you also collect the books you read? It seems Fantasy, possibly Sci Fi to a lesser degree are your passions.

First, you have a typo. "Alot" is not one word. Second, you have a lot of room to tell something more. This is quite vague.

These are ok. Seen them a million times, but ok.

Typos. Please use a spell check and all "I"s should be capitalized. This also seems quite negative. You need to look at this from another angle and give something positive about yourself.

Too generic. Are you always smiling, is this how they would notice this?

Eh, I'm not inclined to like this, without something else. I had a match list that he had to each his food separately, they couldn't touch on his plate, etc. It was totally out there, but obviously memorable. There has to be more to you than anime, fantasy books and movies.

This is OK, but I can guarantee you, practically no woman is interested in someone that has no "outside" interests. Do you do anything besides keep yourself glued to a computer, TV or fantasy book?

Good.


You seem quite one dimensional. Do you ever go outside your home besides to work? I'm not saying you need to pretend to like jogging or some other activity you don't actually do, but you seem pretty single minded. Are you part of a role playing group or do you do the medieval fairs for your role playing? It just seems like you live a life inside your home, and that's it. Give your match something else about you.

sigh - this is why i was iffy about doing this, getting just negative comments.

I seem one dimensional but what am i supposed to say? Lie about my hobbies? Tell them i have interests i don't think about unless i run into it myself? I dislike outdoor stuff because of two things, bugs and bad temperatures. Sooner or later, one ruins it. Hiking isn't bad but it's always too hot or too cold.

if we tell you your profile is perfect and you are awesome, you'll just start a thread in 6 months complaining how all the girls on EH closed you.

FWIW- EH does not have a lot of early 20 somethings. don't take it so hard.

I know, i dont want to be told that it's perfect, i want to know how to make improvements, but for god's sake, i was hoping for something a little more positive in the way of how to improve instead of the 'backhanded compliment' style of improvement suggestions. "Ok, seen it a million times before, but ok" - hardly positive.

And truthfully, knowing that eH has few early 20 somethings is, well, a bit disheartening - it means that they already know how to do all this and have relationships or know how to look for them with somewhat successful results.

And btw, what does FWIW stand for?

Sorry about all this, but being called 'one dimensional' made me feel like any interest i might be to a girl my age dropped to 0.

FWIW means for what it's worth. and, stop being a victim. Andie gave you criticism on your profile, not on you the Person.

now, I skimmed your other thread.

you need to get out into the world. there are anime conventions- go there, you will meet tons of girls with the same interests.

I meet tons of people at SciFi Cons and HorrorCons- cool people too. and the best part is the girls there appreciate a guy who doesn't think they are weird for their interests.

Andie gave you specific, constructive comments. Read some of the other threads on profile reviews to get other ideas to expand on Andie's suggestions. For example, WHY do you like amine? What about it captures your attention? If a girl had "I like amine" in her profile, my interest would not be peaked. Why? Because I don't 'get' amine. yet it she said something like she enjoys amine as it releases her inner superhero, I'd be very intrigued.

Well, to me, my profile IS my person - saying my profile sounds boring is the same as saying i sound boring, since it's essentially a summary of me.

As for conventions, there's one next week, and the anime club leader did say he had extra tickets if i wanted them - maybe ill go - im just surprised - i dont see alot of girls at anime that aren't someone's gf already.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to see that this thread has become so contentious! I'm not here to point fingers but to help get this discussion back on track for those would still like to help Balmung6 with his profile.

Balmung6, please keep in mind that you are asking members to help you make changes to your profile; so their comments will be focused on those parts of your profile they feel you can improve and not those they think are fine.

And, yes, it's possible that someone may have a lot of comments and suggestions, but, if you don't agree with any or all of their comments, that's fine. Just disregard them. They are sharing their perspective, which they hope you can benefit from. But if you don't, you don't, and no harm is intended

However, members are expected to treat each other with respect and refrain from personal remarks. If you feel that someone has stepped over the line, you shouldn't respond to their remarks but report them.

For those wishing to provide constructive feedback, please remember that newer members who don't know you, may need a lighter touch when you provide feedback. I and other Advice members may know that your feedback is being given from a place of geniune care and a wish to help, but that's because we know you. So please take this into account when providing suggestions or feedback.

And just a reminder, that purposefully making negative personal remarks is never appropriate.

Balmung6, I read AndieIsMe's remarks, and she provided a lot of helpful feedback and suggestions. It may be hard to do so right now, but I recommend that you reread them later and make use of those suggestions you feel can be helpful.

All the best,

-Renee
