Profile Advice - 30/m

I just got done with a one-year stint on Match. I hated it and felt like I got no little or no response. I don't know if I'm coming across wrong or if I just need to be more careful with my profile. I felt like no one ever responded to messages; so what was the point of being on a paid service without any response? I want to hit the ground running with this go-round. Any advice on possible red-flags would be much appreciated. Thanks-


What happen on Match? Did you try and find people and send them emails?

The difference between Match and EH is that in Match you have to do the work in finding people while on EH you dont have to search because the system matches you with people and you go through a few communication steps.

Match is an online bar...if you werent good in picking up women in a bar you likely wont be successful oin match.

The one thing I am most passionate about: One thing? HA! Travel, Cooking, Seeing Denver, Enjoying good TV, Random excitement...

Passionate about means why you chose your career, is their a cause you fight for, is their something you regularly volunteer in, is there a hobby or interest you would never give up or you could do a second career in. What you wrote here can go under addition info part of your profile.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is: Fun. If I am going to spend time with someone, I better be having fun when doing so. Or else, what's the point?

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

This one is tricky- I guess everyone would want to say their parents or grandparents. Delete the red....My best friend Joe is probably my best answer. He helped me get my first job in college, and my second job post-college. That job led me to my current job how did he get you there, what did he do? elaborate. so yeah, I guess he has "influenced" me the most. I'm pretty independent; influence is something I don't give many people credit for.


The three things which I am most thankful for:

• parents
• health
• independence (my ability to support myself)

Three of my best life-skills are:

• Using humor to make friends laugh
• Achieving personal goals
• Maintaining a network of close friends

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

I have a dark side. Not really anything more than a dark sense of humor, but there's more than meets the eye.

Saying I have a dark side...says baggage.


The things I can't live without are:

• Travel
• Good food
• Good Friends
• Independence
• A good mix of nights out and nights in

Why is travel #1 on your list?
The first thing people notice about me:

I'm goofy. I like to have a good time and it shows through.


Some additional information I want you to know:

I really like my job and perhaps work too hard. It still keeps me traveling, which is important to me. I love Denver and still consider myself a newcomer here- I arrived in Denver a little less than a year ago. Moving through the world is a constant, want to come along?


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

Going out for drinks, Relaxing around the house, exploring my neighborhood and city...

The last book I read and enjoyed:

The Disappearing Spoon- a book about the sordid details hidden inside the periodic table. Sounds strange, but actually a really good read. I know the book...what was it in the book that interested you and why.


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

• Articulate
• Perceptive
• Spontaneous
• Outgoing

Okay, first Mr. Random Capitilization () that was a vague laundry list. What would JOE say you are passionate about?

So you are looking for a party girl? What does fun mean to you? Get into it a bit (at least in your own head)...does this mean a girl who will do shots or a girl who is willing and able to kayak Alaska? Or is fun anything from scrabble at home to watching old John Wayne movies. FUN is vague.

I like the latter part. It shows some spunk!

The three things which I am most thankful for:

You say independence over and over and over through out. It appears you are used to people who aren't or are hung up on it? You need to replace some of these.

FAIL. Dude. Be more specific. Show where you are unique. What kind of food? Hot wings? Offal? What kind of travel...backpacks thru Thailand or Gucci through Belgium?

Right now you are "oh, that independant guy, who likes...um food?" Be Jack, who likes maguro sushi and french press coffee who is an apple guy and is slightly embarrassed by his love of Jodi Foster movies. Be SOMEONE specific. Are you a PC or Apple? Are you G&T's or microbeer? Are you Elvis Costello or Garth Brooks? Are you BLT's or tofurky?

I feel you - been there, done that. The EH crowd seems even less responsive. I actually did find a decent guy on a here a little over a year ago when I was on it before, but...I'm on here again, so what does that tell you.

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

(eliminate this) I have a dark side. Not really anything more than a dark sense of humor, but there's more than meets the eye.


The things I can't live without are:

• Travel
• Good food
• Good Friends
• Independence - second time mentioning this...not sure what this means. Maybe being more specific. Does this mean you are a commitment-phobe???
• A good mix of nights out and nights in

My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

Going out for drinks, Relaxing around the house, exploring my neighborhood and city... - I would expound on this and perhaps leave out the other part. What kind of exploring. This is a good way to make a girl visualize exploring with you.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

The Disappearing Spoon- a book about the sordid details hidden inside the periodic table. Sounds strange, but actually a really good read.

When someone says "fun"...I sometimes think they don't want anything serious (ever) and that they're just looking dating or sex.

I think I understand what you're trying to say here, but I might phrase it in a different way.

If I read this, I would think that you didn't have time for a relationship. That you were a workaholic and traveled a ton for business. If you do travel a lot of business you might want to say something like, while I travel a lot for business (and like it!) I always make time for the special people in my life (or something to that effect).
