Straight 30/m profile review

The one thing I am most passionate about:
I'm big on details. Whether it's about work, my hobbies or anything else, I like to get into the fine print of things.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
A good (compatible?) sense of humor.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:
There isn't one single person I can point to that answers this question accurately. That said, if I had to choose? I always thought Mr. Rogers and his philosophies on life fit the bill pretty good.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
My family
My friends
The opportunities I've had

Three of my best life-skills are:
Creating romance in a relationship
Using humor to make friends laugh
Volunteering my time to causes I care about

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
Not that it'd be possible, but I think I have a pretty generous nature and I'd be okay with that getting recognized, I guess.

The things I can't live without are:
Jellybeans
Autodidacticism
Petrochemical byproducts
Masked wrestling
Goofy answers to benign, but dumb questions

The first thing people notice about me:
My incredible manual dexterity and the ability to cling to walls. Honestly I don't really know, they never tell me, but I never ask either.

Some additional information I want you to know:
Nope.

My interests
I typically spend my leisure time:
I read a lot, and lately I've been trying to learn to program a little bit, out of curiosity. Most of my leisure time goes to working with kids through a youth organization, though.

The last book I read and enjoyed:
"A Cook's Tour" by Anthony Bourdain is pretty frickin' great. Though it shares the same name as his TV show for a reason, it veers off from just telling the story of the show and goes into a deeper examination of the places and cuisines he checks out, as well as some biographical entries that, combined with the guy's gift for wickedly biting, masculine-oriented prose, makes for a great read.
According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

I'm old enough to be your mom, but I loved that profile. Though from my experience, the biggest difference between profiles on eHarmony and profiles on Match is folks on eHarmony are expecting more serious, earnest profiles. If you were to use that kind of humor on Match the ladies would be all over it. On eHarmony, I don't know.

I'm 29 and have a VERY sarcastic sense of humor, and I love Bourdain. However, I would read your profile and think either you weren't serious at all about finding someone, or you are one of those people who uses humor to cover up who you really are and it's impossible to get to know you. Either one would probably cause me to move onto the next one. Dating "for fun" was something I did in the past on other dating sites, but eH is a bit more on the serious side. I think there's still ways to inject your sense of humor but also taking the questions seriously and answering them so a woman reading them will get a bit of insight about who you really are.

Also I really hope you have more/better pictures than a bathroom mirror one. Bathroom mirror pics are awful and belong on POF or OKCupid.

The one thing I am most passionate about:
I realized recently that, despite my (maybe overly) analytical nature, I can't stand not being able to flex a creative side. I'll give up a lot in order to have the opportunity to have that in my life, whether that be doing up fliers for an event, sausage-fingering a piano or redesigning a website because I can't look at it anymore; or ideally building it into some kind of career. Whatever the outlet is, having one is something that is critical to me.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
I really want to find someone with a compatible sense of humor. I like goofy, sometimes sarcastic and dry, and I'm always big on terrible puns. Non sequiturs are great too. I just think life and relationships are more fun when you can laugh at the same things frequently, and get amusement from the same things.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:
The people I know have all made their impacts in different ways, though I'm hard-pressed to really pick one or another. It's like picking a favorite friend or something. But I like the idea of modern philosophers, and I really got a lot out of reading what Fred Rogers – as in Mr. Rogers, as in Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood – has to say about things. I thought he was remarkably astute and promotes a great way to look at things and live your life.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
My family
My friends
The opportunities I've had

Three of my best life-skills are:
Creating romance in a relationship
Using humor to make friends laugh
Leading a community service group

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
Other than my rippling, swoon-worthy physique and crystal clear directions to both the beach and the gun show (they're both THAT way), I think I'd like to be known or noticed more for being generous. I think that sounds weird, especially because I don't do anything for the purpose of being noticed or to draw gratitude, but to be honest it'd be nice if more people picked up on it anyway.

The things I can't live without are:
Jellybeans
Autodidacticism
Petrochemical byproducts

The first thing people notice about me:
My incredible manual dexterity and the ability to cling to walls. Honestly I don't really know, they never tell me, but I never ask either.

Some additional information I want you to know:
I've not been dating for quite some time, so forgive me if I'm a little awkward at first, it's something I'm getting used to again. You'll have to wine and dine me a bit before I put out. Thanks for understanding!

My interests
I typically spend my leisure time:
I read a lot, and lately I've been trying to learn to program a little bit, out of curiosity. When I get out, though, I like rock climbing, trying new restaurants and foods or developing my own in the kitchen. In an ideal world I'd travel a whole lot more. There's a lot of world left to see. Most of my leisure time goes to working with kids through a youth organization, though. I mentor high school students and work with them on life skills, leadership and socialization. I benefitted from a similar experience as a kid, and it's good to be able to pass that onward.

The last book I read and enjoyed:
"A Cook's Tour" by Anthony Bourdain is pretty frickin' great. Though it shares the same name as his TV show for a reason, it veers off from just telling the story of the show and goes into a deeper examination of the places and cuisines he checks out, as well as some biographical entries that, combined with the guy's gift for wickedly biting, masculine-oriented prose, makes for a great read.
