Can you please review my profile?

Hi everyone...can you please review my profile and give me suggestions? Thanks!

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is: I'm looking for a man who is smart, funny, kind and owns a suit (but isn't one), has a favorite book, loves good conversation and great lobster. Ideally, he will play the guitar and be the Swiss Army Knife of Men: handy, attractive and able to open wine bottles while also scaling fish.

Usually I'd say that it's most effective to pick one or two qualities and then elaborate, but I personally think this description is a lot of fun. I'll defer to the guys in the forums.

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

My brother. He's extremely intelligent and successful. I've idealized him and pushed myself further in life because of his support.

That's very sweet. I would maybe keep that he's intelligent and successful and go into how exactly you've pushed yourself and how he's supported you in it. I personally associate the word "idealize" with a bit of a negative slant - like you think he's better than he is (but maybe that's just me).

The three things which I am most thankful for:

• My upbringing
• Friends
• My sunny disposition

I think these are nice - you could get more specific if you wanted to (without adding too many words) - like what is great about your friends? What is special about your upbringing?

Three of my best life-skills are:

• Making new friends
• Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things
• Socializing

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

Tough one. I'll have to get back to you on this

Instead of thinking about what you "wish", maybe think of a hidden talent or some quality that's not going to be evident the first time someone meets you? I hope that helps. Definitely use the opportunity to put out your good qualities, though!

The first thing people notice about me:

One of the first things people often notice about me is my witty, sarcastic nature. I absolutely love to laugh and crack people up—I even took improv classes at Second City in Chicago, and I'm starting classes this month in Denver. (Trust me, that kind of thing takes confidence, but I'm also a very humble person.)

This is great, very specific. I don't think that saying your humble is going to accomplish what you're going for though - I think that's something more not to say and just reveal through your actions as you get to know matches.

Some additional information I want you to know:

I’m just a fun-loving, down-to-earth, (relatively) normal woman, seeking adventure, new experiences and companionship—not necessarily in that order.

I kind of think each of these things would fit better elsewhere. I see this section as more a place to put something that's a potential deal-breaker or maker - like willingness to relocate or dedication to a pet (that might not work for some matches).

My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

Usually you'll find me at a Nuggets/Rockies game, a coffee shop or an improv show!

I like this answer! It's simple, but nice and pretty specific. You might say what you like about each of these things, what they provide for you. That might strengthen the answer.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years---its such an awesome book about JFK's dealings with the CIA, FBI, Castro, Che, Eisenhower...I can't put it down!!!

Great! What does it do for you - as in, why can't you put it down? Does it make your imagination come alive, or does it make you curious about the history? That kind of thing.

According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

• Funny
• Easy-Going
• Energetic
• Intelligent
