This is an updated profile of my original `M 29` that I have posted for review. personally I don`t think I could possibly improve it, tyvm to all those who have given their input, esspecially Gr8Guy. What I want to know from this review is What are your DEAL BREAKERS? (aside from the smoking in my basic profile, its something I`m truely working hard at kicking)

The one thing I am most passionate about:

There is nothing like the feeling of self-fullfilment you get at the end of the day when you get to step back and see the completed work of your labours. My passion is letting my creative side loose while holding a career in metal work and welding. While much of my work is mundane structural items, I derive great satisfaction from having created something that is strong, works well and solves my customer’s needs. But what I get really excited about is when I have the opportunity to create metal works of art. This may take the form of yard art or possibly a wall hanging. You can see one of my pieces in my photo section.

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

I live my relationships with 4 basic rules, honesty, loyalty, respect and the ability to communicate. If I can share those virtues in a relationship with a person, then I know we have the tools to start building something strong.

Occupation: Welder / Steel Fabricator

Age: 29

Height: 5' 10"(177 cm)

Wants Kids: Yes

Kids at Home: No


Ethnicity :White, non-Hispanic

Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual

Drinks: About once a week

Smokes: Several times a week


　

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

I can't really narrow it down to one person, so instead I feel the need to relate the influences in my life to the passion for the many genres of music that I listen to. Music has taught me how to genuinely feel compassion, happiness, empathy and love among many others. Music has also been a terrific stress reliever in my life, and I manage it well.

Not part of my profile but if you really need an example of this then follow this link and look for my post.
http://advice.eharmony.com/boards/of...ml#post1471292 (Best Break Up Songs of All Time!)


The three things which I am most thankful for:-
-I am thankful for a loving family where we all support each other.
-I don’t regret any of the choices that I have made in my life. Without them I wouldn't be who or where I am today.
-I am thankful for morals and values that my family and friends have instilled in me.

Three of my best life-skills are:
-Using humour to make friends laugh
-Being a good friend and companion
-Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things
　

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

My nervousness to engage in conversations with those I don't know, often hides the fact that I am really just an easy going and laid back person that likes to have a good time and enjoy ones company, whether its a quiet night in with a movie or a night out at a Jets / Bomber game or even out for a day in the park. Thankfully I adapt quickly and become comfortable before too long.

The things I can't live without are:
-Family and Friends are my biggest support
-Coffee gets me through my mornings
-Music keeps me sane and enjoying life
-A Pulse for obvious reasons
-A little excitement to keep that pulse going

The first thing people notice about me:
My sincerity is something you should quickly pick up about me in a conversation. Generally better noticed in a face-to-face meeting over coffee / lunch / drinks or whatever you might be up for, than in an Email.

Some additional information I want you to know:

It's time to start living healthier; my current goal is a bit of a lifestyle change, including frequenting the gym, eating better and quitting smoking. I'm looking for that someone special to share my new found life / health with. Willing to relocate to for the right person, should the time come or opportunity show itself.

　

My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

When the sun decides to show, I like to take some time to enjoy the outdoors rollerblading, fishing, golfing or hitting up a provincial park for some camping and backpacking. I'll go out for an evening to take in some local music or catch some entertainment at the MTS center. When I need a night in, I'll take to a book or a good new release movie with a hot cup of coffee. Other times all I need is a good workout at the gym or a well prepared meal to satisfy my needs. All in all, I just love being me. Date nights may include something like going to Celebrations Dinner Theater, Rumor's Comedy Club or a clear winter night skating at The Forks.

The last book I read and enjoyed:

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was a great read. I love the classics and read more of them as I get sucked into the last one I read. I enjoy books about angst that also keep you guessing. Also recently picked up the James Rollins Sigma series by recommendation and am currently really enjoying the suspense / mystery behind it.

　

According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:
Funny
Dependable
Easy-Going
Affectionate
　
　
　



Thanks again for your input and helping me to create the best possible profile. please feel free to use this as a model for your own if you are just a browser. I feel this is truely as good as it gets. But I am however open to siggestions on improvement.

It's solid. The only red flag for me is smoking, and the only yellow flags are not having any friends/family who influenced you, and now knowing health-wise which lifestyle you'll end up picking. If I were open to smokers (and gay!), I'd communicate.

All I'm going to say is that if that's what you have on your dating profile, get all new pics asap.

Also, might want to peruse some of the photo threads on here and read some comments. The fishing pic with the main focus being the back of someone's head and you in the background is pretty bad. The laying on the bed with a drink....tacky.... Also, group shots - you really don't want her looking at your friends wondering if they are single instead.

At minimum must have one clean shot of your face and one full body shot that are not obscured by things, heavy winter clothing, sunglasses, profile shots rather than front face, etc. What you think makes you look cool, doesn't look so cool to your match.

I agree. You are not a bad looking guy at all but I'm not sure your photos are projecting who you really are in every day life. Also you are holding a drink/beer in most of your pictures so I would assume you like to party a lot. Maybe you do and you're ok with that projection? I think some of your group pictures are croppable without looking too odd.

Especially agree on the fishing picture... and socks with sandals? Ick!

The wall art one is cool, I think that's fine to leave up.

You asked what are deal breakers. While I am not your target audience, I have very few deal breakers that cause me to close a match right off. Smoking would be at the top of the list, though on eHarmony when you select No to smoking and set the priority to the highest level I have never gotten a match that was a smoker, well at least that they admitted to being a smoker.

The only other things in the written part of the profile that would cause me to close are, they are real tall, distance based on the location listed or mention of liking to ride their motorcycle. Some things that are deal breakers in their photos are obviously obese, tattoos, an obvious discrepancy between the stated age and the age they appear in their photos.
