Profile Review -27F from Alaska

The one thing I am most passionate about:
I am passionate about traveling, meeting people from other countries and learning about their cultures. I love education and teaching others and learning more myself. My relationship with God is what sustains and motivates me.

One ... two ... three ... four ... When I was educated, "one" did not mean four. I roll my eyes at this (very common) omission, but would not close for it. Unfortunately, once I see this I know what to expect.
I recommend picking one topic (or theme) and expanding on that in a way that sounds interesting or unique.
Personally, I prefer to see an acheivement or attainment based "passion," and not a recreation or entertaiment. If you're a teacher, that would be my favorite, of these.
FYI, travel is somewhat risky, as a number of men intepret this to mean she wants someone to pay for her travel (I don't, but it seems to be a somewhat common view.)
This answer is also extremely generic and commonplace.


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

Take a deep breath and let it all out now ... How about some ideas of what kindness means to you? How you react? What you'd like to see, or some examples?


Occupation: I'm a coordinator at an Adult Basic Education center.
Age 27
Height 5' 4"
Wants Kids: Maybe
Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity White, non-Hispanic
Religion: Christian
Drinks: A few times a year
Smokes: Never


The most influential person in my life has been:
I can't pick one person, but I think my teachers have been the most important influences in my life. Some of my professors in college were really motivating and I particularly remember one high school English teacher who made sure that my work got published in a magazine. Also, I find the writings of C.S. Lewis, Shane Claiborne and others to be extremely influential.

Just pick one! I like the part that leads up to "published;" that's relatively unusual, and unusual is interesting. I would add something more about that (move the authors down to the "last book" answer.


The three things which I am most thankful for:

• I am most thankful for God in my life. He has allowed me to have a wonderful life full of great family, friends, travel, etc.
• I am thankful for what I do. I teach English and run a literacy program at a non-profit. It is like a mission for me.
• I am thankful for good friends. They have gotten me through the normal ups and downs of life and keep me from being lonely.

These answers are more complete and thoughtful than most (and sound very appropriate for your target audience.)


Three of my best life-skills are:

• Volunteering my time to causes I care about
• Achieving personal goals
• Maintaining a network of close friends

The things I can't live without are:

• God
• Relationships
• Adventure
• Good books
• Fruit Smoothies

The first thing people notice about me:
My smile..(is that appearance? ) But really, I think that people notice that I am very cheery and bright and am almost always smiling.

Boring, but I don't think you're doing any harm by it.


I typically spend my leisure time:
In my leisure time, I live to read. My favorites are novels about people from other countries. I like to work out. Even though it is hard to get to the gym, once I'm there, I really enjoy it. I like spending time with friends at home, restaurants, coffee shops ,the movies etc.

I'd try to do this in a way that gives some sense of the frequency of some of these, and give particular thought to what a man might like to do.

Although I go to a gym, I see no real benefit to doing so with a partner. I like to eat, but restaurants are not a daily activity. The rest of this is pretty much not likely to be things a man would picture himself doing.


My friends describe me as:

• Dependable
• Loyal
• Intelligent
• Outgoing

Love the re-write! Well written. I thought Alaska was one of the few states where men significantly outnumbered women.

Best of luck with your search!
