The one thing I am most passionate about: my faith, family,education



The most important thing I am looking for in a person is: Kindness and work ethic are very important qualities.



Basic Information

Occupation: Student Age 21 Height 5' 4" Wants Kids: Maybe Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity African-American Religion: Christian Drinks: About once a week Smokes: A few times a year

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

Other than my parents, my high school bio teacher is one of the most influential people in my life. I have always loved science and wanted to pursue research as a career from a very young age. She was the first person in my life that made me feel like it was possible. The encouragement she gave pushed me to follow my dreams, which have begun to become a reality as for a year I have been working in a biology lab at my university.


The three things which I am most thankful for:

  • My family- they drive me crazy but I wouldnt trade them for anything
  • Education- its a blessing to have access to a good education
  • My Best friend for always setting me straight and giving me encouragement

Three of my best life-skills are:

  • Using humor to make friends laugh
  • Maintaining an organized life
  • Achieving personal goals


The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

My wit


The things I can't live without are:

  • shower ( living abroad taught me that )
  • my phone
  • music
  • sushi
  • shoes ( sad but true)


The first thing people notice about me:

That I am funny,intelligent, and that I am dedicated to everything I do.


Some additional information I want you to know:

I am a entering a new stage in my life and I am excited to find someone to go on this journey with me.


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

hanging with friends,finding new music,going for walk, and reading.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

I have been reading three books recently. One is called Justinian's Flea, it is about how the fall of Rome, the plague, the rise Europe, and how the end of ancient times and the beginning of the medieval period are related. I have also been reading (for awhile actually) the politics of Aristotle, which like it sounds is about political philosophy. The book touches on: who is a citizen, political theory, laws, marriage etc. The last book I have been reading is an anthology of works written by Plato. I think it is obvious by now that I love the classics and philosophy. History (especially ancient) is one of my favorite subjects.


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

  • Modest
  • Spiritual
  • Caring
  • Romantic

Not trying to be mean, but as it stands right now..I would pass you by..The goal of a profile is to grab the users attention and make them want to continue to read..The first two sections are important, as those are the first things we see.

Cliche and sparse.. Family and education are kind of a given. I would expand on your faith ( then dont mentions again in your profile) I would also suggest you to choose another passion and write about it..
Either see the example on your profile or read the profile workshops for ideas.
eHarmony Profile Workshop Threads (Links listed here (eHarmony Profile Workshop Threads (Links listed here))

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is: Kindness and work ethic are very important qualities.
Okay not great. talk to us..
example: I am looking for a guy who posseses good work ethic....blah blah blah..

Excellent

Cliche but good.. I like how you expanded them..

Three of my best life-skills are:

  • Using humor to make friends laugh
  • Maintaining an organized life
  • Achieving personal goals
The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
My wit
what about your wit? write a sentence or give a 2nd thing.

The things I can't live without are:

  • shower ( living abroad taught me that )
  • my phone
  • music
  • sushi
  • shoes ( sad but true)
Dump the phone answer and expand on each one like you did in the other list question..
Sushi.. I love a good mango roll!


The first thing people notice about me:

That I am funny,intelligent, and that I am dedicated to everything I do.

Can't say you are funny.. you need to show you are, so make me laugh, show me your intelligent.
Some additional information I want you to know:
I am a entering a new stage in my life and I am excited to find someone to go on this journey with me.
what stage what journey.. may want to rethink this answer


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:
hanging with friends,finding new music,going for walk, and reading.
Another important section.. what do you do with your friends?. what kind of music? do you walk on the beach-park?.. expand on each one and you got it..

The last book I read and enjoyed:
I have been reading three books recently. One is called Justinian's Flea, it is about how the fall of Rome, the plague, the rise Europe, and how the end of ancient times and the beginning of the medieval period are related.

good... moving on.. lol
What's in purple would be a good thing to put in the addtional information section
Feedback in red

If you put a same effort into the other questions as you did with the most influential person & book sections.. you'll have a better profile.

I quit reading your profile after I saw you were a student at a university. Dating must've really changed since I was in college, because that's where your best prospects should be. Maybe you should change your major to engineering, that's where all the good guys are!

Hi Trippyangie,

I saw your first 2 answers (passionate-about and what-I'm-looking-for) and went "oh no this isn't good" but then I read on from there ... and I really like the rest of it! It's interesting and I think it will appeal to men who would appeal to you.

Unfortunately those first 2 sections are ultra important -- they're at the top of your profile. I think what you wrote in your "influential person" about research and working in the lab should probably be in your "most passionate about". Just making that one change would be a big improvement.

Please feel free to edit and repost!

Interestingly, I've found the opposite. Dating has been for me much easier post-grad than it was in school. I think if you are just looking for hookups, then yes, college is a great place to be. But finding someone who wants something serious, that can be a challenge.

Thanks to everyone who responded. i find it very hard to talk about myself. I'm not sure what I can say in the sections you all mentioned that really shows who I am. I will try and post the changes.
Also, I agree 100% with the comment below. Most 21 yr old guys are not looking to do anything besides bed a new chick every night.

That is a very broad statement, but try to remember that it only applies to those whose looks and lack of respect for women can afford them that position. It isn't really true for all men and making that assumption might cause you to miss out on somebody really nice.

I just got threw reading the eHA article about having too many, "No Way's." I was interested in the comment on how every match in your inbox is compatible for a long term relationship with you based on proven criteria. It went on to say that even though you may not find them physically attractive in the conventional sense that you should still initiate communication with them because there will be other elements in the match you will find very attractive.

You may want to re-evaluate your criteria for selection and be a little more open minded to what is in your inbox.
