the one thing I'm most passionate about
Dancing (I'm a dance major in college) and like singing/music.I am in good physical shape and enjoy staying fit. I'm passionate about spending time with family and friends. I enjoy hosting casual gatherings to keep up with everyone. I am also very passionate about learning. I love to visit new places and to try out new things. I'm also passionate about surrounding myself with people who can make me laugh. There is nothing better than spending time with people who have a great sense of humor!


The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
Integrity and strong character are high on my list of things I find attractive. I am a goal setter and appreciate that in others as well. I would like to find a man who has an adventurous spirit without jumping into recklessness. Someone with a strong sense of balance in their life, whether it be work or play, everyone needs a little balance to enjoy life to the fullest. I also want someone who's emotionally stable and mature. I don't like game players. I'm very forward and direct and I want a partner who appreciates that and responds the same way with out pettiness or being mean. I treat people with respect and expect the same from others.


Basic Information

Occupation: Dancer/College Student Age20Height5' 0" Wants Kids:YesKids at Home:No
EthnicityWhite, non-HispanicReligion:Other Drinks:A few times a yearSmokes:Never


In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

Hummm- Not my parents, huh? Well I guess the next best person would have to be my best friend. She is the little voice in my head that says "dont be such a chicken- If you want it, go for it!" In many ways she is the person who taught me to love who I am without worrying about what others think. Beauty is from the inside, not who a person appears to be on the surface.


The three things which I am most thankful for:
  • My family
  • my friends
  • my intelligence and abilty to rely on myself
Three of my best life-skills are:
  • Understanding local, national, and world events
  • Making art and culture an ongoing part of my life
  • Achieving personal goals
The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

That I'm not a helpless girl. Yes, I'm feminine and behave like a lady, but it doesn't impair my judgement or ability to accomplish anything I set my mind up to do. I love girly things and people sometimes think that is all there is, but really it's just the icing on the cake. I'm not afraid of a little dirt if means getting the job done or even better having a little fun! I'm also a genuinely nice person, which some people equate being a pushover, which I am definitely NOT... Yes, I will help you if I can, but I'm more likely to help others help themselves.


The first thing people notice about me:

Not really sure, but probably that I'm usually well groomed and dressed well. Despite outward appearances, I'm not high maintenance, but I'm not NO maintenance either, LOL! Once they get to know me a little better they usually realize I'm a hard worker and know my own self-worth. Most people quickly realize that I'm very independant and strong minded. I get mixed result with people. They either really like it, or they really don't... that's OK though. I like me, so that's the really important thing!


Some additional information I want you to know:

Hmmm. I'm not into "Gamers"... Life IS the game, just sayin'. Which I know just really closed the door on 90% of the guys in my age group, but I just can't see myself with someone who'd rather play the Xbox than do something productive or even just hang out and enjoy a sunset. I like feeling productive, even when I'm doing things just for the pleasure of doing them. I like to garden and paint. I also speak German and French and hope to learn Italian. I am a bellydancer, guys usually think that's hot, LOL. Some think it's slutty, which is far from the reality of me. Dance is a passion of mine, a partner would need to be OK with that.


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

I enjoying reading and dancing. I love BBQs with family and friends. I like to go horseback riding with my buddies.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

I read (and write) a lot of fanfiction. I keep a very busy schedule and sometimes it is just easier to read short expansions on books I already love.


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:
  • Genuine
  • Articulate
  • Intelligent
  • Outgoing

You've listed a lot of passions here, but I'd pick one or two and stick with it. If you already prioritized them, dancing and singing are you two biggest passions, so keep those.

I'm very forward and direct and I want a partner who appreciates that and responds the same way with out pettiness or being mean. I treat people with respect and expect the same from others. I would remove the green to make is a little more simple. I changed a few sentences in the begining of this paragraph a little as well, so take a look.

In many ways she is the person who taught me to love who I am without worrying about what others think. Beauty is from the inside, not who a person appears to be on the surface. The green just seems like extra rambling that isn't needed. Like Jack London said, the sentence "Keep it short without adding extra unneccesary words" should read: "Keep it short, without unneccesary words". Hopefully you understand what I mean.

The green is just a little too much for my liking, would want another opinion here.

I get mixed result with people. They either really like it, or they really don't... that's OK though. I like me, so that's the really important thing! The red seems a bit conceded and a tad self centered to me. I would remove the brown as unnessesary banter again.

I would rather see the purple as the first part of this section. I think you already know where I'd go with the green, it's just not needed.

Since there's a lot I'm suggesting to change, here's what I would like to see: I like feeling productive, even when doing things just for the pleasure of doing them. I like to garden and paint. I also speak German and French and hope to learn Italian. I am a bellydancer, and a partner would need to accept that since dance is a passion of mine. I'm not into someone who would rather play X-Box or other games instead of doing something productive with their time.

For reference; Blue is my comments on each section. Green is information I would remove. Other colors are noted in the blue comment below them. Hopefully this will help you, just take it with a grain of salt.

I'm going to forgo commenting on your profile except to say it's much better than most I've been matched with from women more than twice your age.

From what I've read here, at your age, you're not likely to get an abundance of matches because 20 year old guys aren't flocking to dating sites.

And unless things have really changed since I was in college, you're not going to find any better pickin's than on a college campus. Especially in engineering classes!

I agree w/tweet.
Although I laughed at the "no gamers" part, the only thing I'd add is that I'd be a little careful with the "I don't want..." statements, as they come off a little "baggage-y" and, off putting...

Just be positive and the ones who are also positive, will come to you eventually

Thanks to both of you... and it is "baggage-y" LOL... but not like some might take it, my older brother is a "gamer" and he and his friends are the highly.... unmotivated. I'm a little (OK alot) type A, so finding someone in my age group who's a good fit is proving difficult, Both in College and on eH. I'm the only 20 year old I know with a 401K, I'm motivated and focused and men tend to be intimidated... I joined the 3 month trial, working on month 2 without much luck... I'd just like a nice date or two!

I think your wrong in your stereotype of "gamers." All my friends from college are (and remain) video gamers. We are also all Type A personalities. All of us are in professional type positions making good money now. Right now, as we are in our working lives, video gaming has gone to the side as life has taken over. I'm lucky if I can get some gaming in once or twice a week now.

In your age group most guys will at least play games a couple times a week, so you could really be filtering out people you actually don't want to.
