What I'm Passionate About:

Doing well for myself so that I can in turn do something for other people. Basically just living within my means so I have time and resources to help/be with other people as much as I can.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:

Compassion and honesty. I know that's two things, but both are definitely a must for me.

The most influential person in my life has been:

I would have to say my grandfather. Even though he has been through a lot of trials in his life, he still keeps an optimistic outlook on things and always judges things/people fairly even if he doesn't know the whole side of an issue. He is also very compassionate and I try to live up to that every day as best I can.

The three things which I am most thankful for:

My parents for always pushing me to do well and helping me throughout the years.

The fact that I'm doing well in the world on my own.

Having people I can depend on if I ever need help.

Three of my best life-skills are:

Creating romance in a relationship

Using humor to make friends laugh

Being a good friend and companion

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

That I'm just an honest guy that tries to help people out whenever possible and that I'm not seeking praise/reward for doing the right thing.

The things I can't live without are:

Family
Friends
A good craft beer
Good food
My awesome job

The first thing people notice about me:

How easy I am to talk to, I'm a pro at keeping conversations moving.

Some additional information I want you to know:

I'm just a laid back, honest, and optimistic person looking for a match with similar outlooks on life.

I typically spend my leisure time:

Usually either working out/running or watching movies at home. If my friends are available I'll go hang out with them as well and do a little swimming.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

Dearly Devoted Dexter. It's one of the books that the Dexter TV show is based on. I like it because the author really takes you into Dexter's mind and is very visual in his writing.

Thanks for using spell check, good grammar, and for taking your profile serious. If you have a great photo then your profile is fine like it is.

If you don’t get enough responses like it is here are some things you might consider changing.

This is where you can show her that you aren’t a clone and really do have passion. For example, “I’m very passionate about running. When I hit my stride it feels almost like I’m flying. Each breath makes me feel more and more alive. There is nothing else like it in the world!” See what I’m saying. Draw her into the one thing that gets you emotional beyond anything else. And if she’s into it too then you immediately have something in common! If she’s not she will still appreciate that there is something that gets you stoked.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:

Compassion and honesty. I know that's two things, but both are definitely a must for me.


Everybody makes this mistake, ha ha! Honesty and compassion are good choices, but they are also pretty much a given. The question asked for one thing so try to stick to that, okay? What is the most important thing that YOU are looking for in a person? Are you looking for someone who is skilled at living within her means? Are you looking for someone who enjoys helping people? Odds are if those are things you are passionate about they are also things you are going to want you partner to be passionate about.

Here’s my best recommendation: be flexible. Make up at least three different versions of your profile and rotate them. Make one long, verbose, and detailed. Make one sparse, short, and to the point. The last one should be something in between. See which one gets you the greatest response then stick with it and continue to tweak it.

Most importantly, don’t take ANY rejection personally, and HAVE FUN!

Have you read another book you liked recently? You're trying to meet people online and there is a certain amount of fear involved on her part. Although the genre is fine, you might have trouble with women who don't like your enjoyment of the visuals when it comes to Dexter's mind. I think you'd get more interest if you picked another book or altered your reason for enjoying it.
