I've seen a couple of posts where folks put up their profiles. Let me know what you think of mine.
Too long, too short, too effeminate?


My picture here is my main profile picture.


1. What are you most passionate about?

Moving onto the next stage in my life. I spent too much time focusing on my career, building a comfortable life, having fun. I realize no one's dying words are "I wish I spent more time at the office." I have all the toys I need and I'm tired of playing. I'm the last single guy out of all my close friends. I've been in long serious relationships before and this is what I want now. If you want to play, go play somewhere else

2. What are the THREE things for which you are MOST thankful?

Emotional and physical health

My family and friends

My job. Challenging and fun. And I get to wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday to work.

6. What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person?

Good communication skills, honesty, and a good sense of humor are at the top of my list.

I'm looking for someone that knows the difference between "The Prince" and the Artist Formerly Known as Prince, doesn't cheat too much on their taxes, their "baggage" is a small carry on that easily stows under the seat, laughs at TV comedies that don't have laugh tracks, knows the original versions of Coupling and The Office are much better than their American counterparts, and doesn't say "cute baby" when the baby is really ugly

If this sounds like you then click the green button. There is a good chance you are the "cheese to my macaroni".

7. Other than your appearance, what is the first thing that people notice about you?

Hopefully my sense of humor. It’s typically dry and witty, sometimes sarcastic, usually playful. I never take myself too seriously and I have no problem making fun of myself.

I never try to be mean and I do know when to be serious.

8. What is the ONE thing that people DON'T notice about you right away that you WISH they WOULD?

I enjoy talking about anything. Politics, sports, current events, whatever someone is passionate about. I try to be a good listener. I'm always open to new ideas and being open to understand someone else's point of view.

9. How do you typically spend your leisure time?

Lately I’ve been volunteering. I volunteer for a no kill animal shelter. I volunteer for a local Asian association. They need a geek and I’m the best (and only) one they could find. I’ve helped with a couple of Home Depot projects. I’ll volunteer for anything that involves power tools, painting, demolition, or hazardous materials.

I also enjoy cooking, traveling, exploring new restaurants, working out. I'm ready to try anything new. The key is I'm with people I enjoy and we are having a good time. My one selfish hobby is fly fishing. Fly fishing allows me to find "solitude without loneliness".

10. What are five things that you "can't live without?"

Finding humor in life

Being content with the simple things in life

Good food with great conversation

Lazy Sundays with nothing to do

333 hp. I'm a driver. Winding roads with no cops

11. Describe the last book that you read and enjoyed. What was it about? What did you like most about it?

“Eat, Pray, Love”. A close friend told me to read this book. I trust her judgment so I’m waiting in a long line with five women also buying the book. I felt a bit uncomfortable like the time I was waiting in a long line holding an economy sized box of tampons I loved the book. Not just for the ladies.

I can relate to some of her experiences and she reminds me of someone I knew. I couldn’t help notice the REM lyrics quote on p.208

I typically read one book a month. Next is “Jane Eyre”. I lost a bet with a co-worker and this was her idea of torture for me. meh

12. Describe one thing about yourself that only your best friends know.

I'm unusually clean for a guy.

I'd rather play with my friend's kids then watch the game on TV with the rest of the guys.

I'm coulrophobic. Other than that nothing scares me.

I can kill spiders (all bugs) or I can relocate them outside. I'm flexible like that

13. Is there any additional information you would like your matches to know about you?

I’m Korean-American. Born in Los Angeles, been in Atlanta 20 years. You might here a "y'all" from me every once in a while.

I’m extremely Americanized but I still have strong Korean values.

Not like eating dogs. More in terms of family and respect.

I've never been married nor am I currently married. I do not have any children. I'm 95% sure of this. I drive a wee bit fast but I'm always careful and considerate. I've never had a speeding ticket or accident and no road rage here.

Great profile. I would totally date you ;o) You convey a LOT about yourself which is what you need to do. I really get a feel for the type of person you are, very upbeat, funny, someone I would like to get to know better.


That having been said, I have some thoughts because profiles/written word can sometimes convey the wrong message. Use it or not, I just want to throw them out there for discussion and though.


I would change your book and take out all the Eat Pray Love stuff. Or just maybe tone it down. Also, it's a turn off for some to mention another woman or women friends. Some people read too much into something like that and it could be misinterpreted. It's similar to having a picture with a woman cropped out of it.


Remove the "eating dogs" comment. It's a mood killer. I know it's funny, but you are creating a mood with your profile and you don't want the last thing someone reads about you to be about eating dogs. ;o)


Same thing with "road rage" you don't want that image. Car accidents, too. It brings up bad memories for people if they've had those.


You want everything to be a positive image because as people read, they visualize.


You only want happy thoughts floating around your matches.

I agree with everything TheRulesAdviceGirl says, but would also suggest removing, "If you want to play, go play somewhere else ". Do not change your book to the DaVinci Code.

No offense, but you seem gay.

LOL Totally stay away from the DaVinci Code.


I saw a poll somewhere on a message board and 99% of the posters said they mention it in their OLD profile.





Wow, I missed the "play" sentence. Good catch.

I love it, and I'd make the changes referenced already. You look like a great catch, good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions.


I use to have stuff about sports (UGA football, golf, baseball, and soccer), cars, working out, etc. I might put a couple of those back in.
