What I'm Passionate About
During the week, my schedule can be busy. But when I have free time, I enjoy a thrilling adventure or furthering my knowledge through reading books and articles. LIfe isn't a tedious chore, it's an exciting and unpredictable journey of knowledge and opportunities. And unless you get out there and experience it, you're basically limiting yourself to a dull life.

Most Important Quality in another person
I strongly believe honnesty is the foundation of every successful relationship. I need someone who's not afraid to speak the truth whether it's about me or themself. Someone who can tell me what they want from life, the kind of person they're like, what they think about me etc...I have a lot of respect for people that are genuine and don't have to lie or pretend to impress other people.

Most Influential person in life
I've always deemed my grandfather as a role model since I was little. It was his character that I admired most of all. Even though grandpa was a very stubborn man, he was kind to everyone, displayed a high level of energy like no other man I knew, and loved to have a good time no matter what he was doing. This amazing man might have had some influence on the kind of person I am today.

First thing people notice about you
I have received many compliments on my very calm and easygoing vibe. I'm generally a very care free and laid back kind of guy. I don't like to get serious unless it's required.

The one thing you want people to notice about you
Don't let my calm, easygoing attitude fool you because I won't hesitate to get serious when the situation calls for it. I just wish more people would notice that.

Leisure time
I enjoy friendly, competitive sports among friends, reading a compelling fiction novel indoors on a cold breezy night, a hardcore workout at the local gymnasium to get the adrenaline pumping, blasting some heavy rock tunes, and expressing my knowledge or feelings with articles, essays and poetry. I'm also not afraid to try new things and I'm always willing to add new hobbies to my current collection.

I've been working diligently on my profile to make it the best it can possibly be. But I have no idea what a good profile is supposed to look like or how it's supposed to be written.

I'm not your target audience, but can offer a few generalities. The eh format is different than free-style writing formats of match,et al.

The challenge here is reading each question /section and answering it concisely by highlighting a different aspect of your interests, lifestyle and yourself....without repeating things or placing them under the wrong question /section.

Make sure you run it through grammar and spell check. Best thing to keep in mind is that the desirable women read tons of these so the long-winded ones get passed over, unlike freestyle sites......make sure you have good quality face and body pics, an a few candid ones..

Overall a well written profile with many interesting concepts and descriptions...Good Luck

And unless you get out there and experience it, you're basically limiting yourself to a dull life. This is a lot of writing that boils to one answer - nothing. When you think of passionate about, maybe think really interested in. Reason you chose your career, a hobby that you love, a cause you would fight for or work for, etc. Pick something concrete to talk about and then explain why and how you got into it and what you get out of it.

It's well written and yet reads a bit like past relationship baggage because it's overstating the obvious. I mean have you ever heard anyone say that they would just love to find a good liar? When you over state the obvious, it reads like maybe you had issues with this you are not quite over yet.

The section above and this one are repeating an identical thing. Can you think of some other aspect to talk about in either one of these sections?

Leisure time
I enjoy friendly, competitive sports among friends what kind?, reading a compelling fiction novel indoors on a cold breezy night what kind?, a hardcore workout at the local gymnasium to get the adrenaline pumping, blasting some heavy rock tunes, and expressing my knowledge or feelings with articles, essays and poetry. I'm also not afraid to try new things and I'm always willing to add new hobbies to my current collection.

My comments above. You have a good start to it, but could be more specific in a few sections, more you and fewer generic statements. It's all about finding that balance between adding in a few personal details without turning your profile into a wall of text that nobody has time to read.

Other than that, you have to make sure you have really good photos. Ask for your female friends' opinions on those since too often what guys think will attract a woman is completely opposite from what women are actually drawn to.
