The one thing I am most passionate about:
Participating in theater, time with friends, cooking, traveling. (PERIOD)

This is more of a laundry list. This is generally accepted to be a very difficult question but that said, nothing about how you have written it screams PASSION!

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
Integrity. I feel that a person needs to make life choices based on core values. Whether the decision turns out to be right or wrong, then there are no regrets.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:
I'd have to say a couple of women friends. My mom is a traditional housewife; terrific, and I love her, but I needed other role models to learn to be independent and to take charge of my life.
This is not bad. I think it would be better without the "not my mom" part. "My friends Jody and Kerry who...." and give an example or two.


The three things which I am most thankful for:
• My family
• Close, dear friends
• The opportunity to express myself creatively
Three of my best life-skills are:
• Making art and culture an ongoing part of my life
• Entertaining in my home
• Maintaining a network of close friends

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

My sense of humor. I tend to find things funny that many people don't notice.

The things I can't live without are:
• My family
• My friends
• Participating in theater
• Books
• Time to relax

This is a fail. Too bland. Nothing new. We already got books and theatre. You have missed the opportunity to connect with the readers. You want things that make them go "ME TOO" or prompt a question. Sensory language is good. The smell of bacon cooking on Sunday morning. Slipping into a hot bubble bath with a new book. A rousing game of Cranium with....The taste of ....


The first thing people notice about me:
I'm often taken for being the person "in charge." People will ask me questions in stores or museums, or even on the street. I think its because I am generally approachable and confident.


Some additional information I want you to know:

This is a new experience for me. I want to really get to know someone, to see if we click, before moving very far forward. My life is pretty good right now; I just would like someone special to share things with.

Most men will not respond to the beginning of this answer. The beginning is all wiggle words....saying I'm not ready... That isn't to say that you shouldn't be objective and take your time and not get too frisky but this reads: Just testing the waters. Come back later.
My interests
I typically spend my leisure time:
Acting in local theater, watching television

Again, add some specifics. What kind of tv, what kind of food,
what are your favorite plays? Roles?


The last book I read and enjoyed:
I read A LOT. I am almost exclusively a fiction reader, and tend to read books that are set in a time or place that I am unfamiliar with. A book I recently enjoyed was "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet" by David Mitchell.
According to my friends:
My friends describe me as:
• Creative
• Perceptive
• Rational
• Intelligent
