This is a laundry list of leisure activities and doesn't answer the question. Pick one thing and then expand on it. What interests you about it, how did you get into it, what do you get out of it, etc.

The most important thing I'm looking for in a person:

She's fun, cute, sexy, open and genuine. She truely cares about others and puts people and relationships above everything else. Someone who is positive, doesn’t sweat the little things in life nor take themselves too seriously. She can share all of her passions with me, teach me new things but is also excited to learn from me and share my passions. She’s not afraid to open up to me about her deepest feelings and can push me to do the same…I can be a tough nut to crack sometimes, but I am so ready to find that person who can push me beyond my limits. I promise to do the same to her. This is another huge laundry list when the question is asking for one quality. Also, the part in bold, I'd close you over instantly. No healthy woman wants a fixer upper project for a relationship.

In my own words

The most influential person in my life has been:

Well, it is my parents that have been most influential people in my life! My dad taught me everything about cars to cover letters…he’s forged the more practical-thinking side of my personality. My mom…from her I’ve learned that I can do anything if I set my mind to it. She’s instilled my values of humility, compassion and empathy for others, affection for loved ones, and well…how to be a pretty good cook! Overall, my parents have demonstrated thru their relationship with each other, how to have a loving family. They have been so supportive of me in all of my ventures in life and I look forward to sharing my family with someone special so Again you did not answer the question. It specifically states "other than your parents" because most people can say the same thing about their parents. Step out of the obvious answer here, especially when already prompted within the question to do so.


The three things which I am most thankful for:

• Caring and dependable friends and family who are always there for me
• My health
• My appreciation for all of of life's experiences over material possessions

Three of my best life-skills are:

• Using humor to make friends laugh
• Achieving personal goals
• Maintaining a network of close friends

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

I'm a really down to earth guy, confident, motivated, honest, humble, rational, and drama free. Sounds boring, huh?? I'm fun too and always up for a new adventure! Whenever I get in a sticky situation, I tend to step back and look at the entire picture. I'll stand up for my mistakes and admit when I'm in the wrong (which is never btw!). I’m a very easy person to talk to, and I genuinely like to help people. I can be a bit old school romantic (and cheesy) at times and like to give little gifts with meaning. I'm a very caring and affectionate person by nature, but in no means overbearing. I tell ya those Myers-Briggs tests are right on! This is a long ramble of pat yourself on the back whatever. The thing is that you can't tell me that you are honest or down to earth, you can only show me that in real life and I'll conclude that only from your actions, not your words. Also, when you say things like "drama free" people read it as "I'm the king of drama and don't want competition." Once again, you did not answer the question asked.


The things I can't live without are:

• My family and close friends
• Love, affection and touch
• Good company to share my experiences with
• Musica, Photograpy and Cooking
• El Sol and the outdoors

The first thing people notice about me:

I love being active and staying fit. I started to get into running a couple years ago and I recently completed the NYC Marathon, what an experience!! I love anything outdoors – camping, fall foiliage, the beach, dinner/drinks/coffee/good conversation, adventure, Spontaneity, traveling abroad or just a day or wknd road trip, learning about everything possible, and exploring the city and it's hidden little treasures and different neighborhoods. I'd prefer a low key dinner with good company over a night at the club....however, I'm still game for a fun night out to hear some good music and dancing (try to)! Another long ramble that just repeats what's already been said elsewhere in your profile but doesn't answer the question being asked.


Some additional information I want you to know:

What I want to do...live life lean , experience and learn everything that I can, explore the big world out there and the little world around me here...but share these experiences with someone special. To me, great experiences, relationships and bonds with people mean so much more to me than money and material posessions. Life is too short - live without regret - do what makes you happy. As my father says, "Look over your shoulder, life flies by...."


My interests

I typically spend my leisure time:

Kickin' it with my friends, a run in the park, the beach, snowboarding, cooking a good meal at home, Sunday Brunch, exploring the city, relaxing at home with a good movie..... Some random thoughts about me: I’m a bit of a klutz at times - I’m good at giving massages, compliments and affection - Going for drives on a summer day or fall day with the sunroof open - The way your hair smells (if it smells good) - I love taking pictures - I love clean sheets and a cozy bed - I want to take salsa lessons, learn Espanol e Italiano - I love a crackling fire after a day on the slopes - I cut my own hair - I've been known to sing in the car


According to my friends:

My friends describe me as:

• Physically Fit
• Genuine
• Affectionate
• Caring

Ok,

So I've been at this about a month with a little luck, but really want to make my profile shine! Please review and offer your comments. Thanks!

The one thing I am most passionate about:
Living healthy and fitness, travelling locally or to distant lands, helping other people, improving myself, giving back, kids, the environment, the outdoors, snowboarding, cooking, photography. The best advice I got about this section was to pick a common theme and expand on that with some examples. You can then touch on your interests in the "leisure time" section.

The most important thing I'm looking for in a person:

She's fun, cute, sexy, open and genuine. She truelytruly...i am a stickler for spelling cares about others and puts people and relationships above everything else.

Overall, my parents have demonstrated thru their relationship with each other, how to have a loving family. They have been so supportive of me in all of my ventures in life and I look forward to sharing my family with someone special so I agree with previous posters...you evaded the question...pick someone else!


The three things which I am most thankful for:

• Caring and dependable friends and family who are always there for me
• My health
• My appreciation for all of of life's experiences over material possessions Hmm...I wouldn't really say anything about "material possessions"...maybe something more like "My ability to appreciate life's experiences" or "My ability to appreciate the little things in life"
  
  

Three of my best life-skills are:

• Using humor to make friends laugh
• Achieving personal goals
• Maintaining a network of close friends

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

I'm a really down to earth guy, confident, motivated, honest, humble, rational, and drama free. Sounds boring, huh?? I'm fun too and always up for a new adventure! I don't think you need to say that you are fun...up for a new adventure suffices... Whenever I get in a sticky situation, I tend to step back and look at the entire picture. I'll stand up for my mistakes and admit when I'm in the wrong (which is never btw!). "stand up for my mistakes" doesn't really make sense to me...how about "take ownership of" or "be accountable for"? I’m a very easy person to talk to, and I genuinely like to help people. I can be a bit of anold school romantic (and cheesy)take this out at times and like to give little gifts with meaning. I'm a very caring and affectionate person by nature, but in no means overbearing. I tell ya those Myers-Briggs tests are right on!


The things I can't live without are:

• My family and close friends
• Love, affection and touch Sorry, but "touch" is bordering on creepy
• Good company to share my experiences with
• Musica, Photograpy and CookingDid you mean to say "musica" or did you mean "music"?
• El Sol and the outdoorsAre you referring to the sun in general or is this something specific? Do you speak Spanish? If so maybe mention this somewhere instead of breaking out into a different language all of a sudden

The first thing people notice about me:

I love being active and staying fit. I started to get into running a couple years ago and I recently completed the NYC Marathon, what an experience!! I love anything outdoors – camping, fall foiliage FOLIAGE, the beach, dinner/drinks/coffee/good conversation, adventure, Spontaneity, doesn't need to be capitalizedtraveling abroad or just a day or wknd road trip, learning about everything possible, and exploring the city and it's hidden little treasures and different neighborhoods. I'd prefer a low key dinner with good company over a night at the club....however, I'm still game for a fun night out to hear some good music and dancing (try to)! Just firm this up a little bit...it ends up being quite a run-on sentence!


Some additional information I want you to know:

What I want to do...live life lean "live life lean"? what does this mean? Are you cheap? lol , experience and learn everything that I can, explore the big world out there and the little world around me here...but share these experiences with someone special. To me, great experiences, relationships and bonds with people mean so much more to me than money and material posessionsYou keep mentioning "material possessions" and how you don't care about them...but I'm sure there are plenty of "material" things that you do like, and that's ok! If you do keep this in, make sure you spell "possessions" correctly. Life is too short - live without regret - do what makes you happy. As my father says, "Look over your shoulder, life flies by...."Nice quote!
