I think it looks good. I'd still tone the shyness down a bit more though. The idea that you don't say much would make me worry that a first date with you could have a lot of awkward silences or that I'd have to do all the talking. I'd personally not talk about it at all.
I think you're right. There is already something about the photos that shows he's pleasant, but shy. He should downplay that as much as possible in the profile.

I agree with other that your profile is fine. It sounds like where you are getting hung up is getting from open communication to a date. If you want to get past this, then ask the women you make it to open communication out faster! The second email is the perfect time, IMO.

If a guy is emailing me for a long time without asking me out, I will get bored and he will get pushed to the bottom of the priority list.

Lots of great responses so I'll keep mine brief. Inject some fun! You sound nice/respectful but I'm SURE you have some charming little quirks that could add a little colour to your profile.

The thing is, a lot of people come off sounding the same. Something, anything that makes you stand out (in a good way) may help a LOT.

Your profile was "fine" to start. Not super exciting but good enough to connect to another well-rounded, well-educated grown-up.

I like your changes and encourage you to add a few more specifics. FOR EXAMPLE, I also have been to the Olympic National Park rainforest and it is one of my favorite places on earth. That specific alone would have caused me to respond. You want specifics so that women can go "me too!" or "huh, tell me about that" or "I haven't don't that, but have you tried...."

You can still amp up specifics....on books, movies, tv shows, food. Lifestyle compatibility is huge. You can use sensory words. On five things you can't live without, for example, I put something like: hot bubble baths, worn 501's, my 6 yo rescue lab Max, crispy bacon and rain....that should tell you a little about me.

Imagine using those 5 things as a focus and it need not be literal. Computer? Are you a pc or a mac? Books to read at night...nf or sf&f or what? I think you already covered friends and family---either add on (Friday night dinners with my friends, their wives and kids) or make room for something that adds new content.

Best-K
