Any feedback would be appreciated-thanks.

The one thing I am most passionate about:
My family and friends are very important to me. I value integrity and respect and try to foster those values in my relationships.
The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
Honesty. It is the foundation upon which any deep committed relationship is based.
Basic Information
Occupation:
Municipal Attorney
Age 53
Height 5' 11"
Wants Kids: No
Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity White, non-Hispanic
Religion: Christian
Drinks: Several times a week
Smokes: Never

The most influential person in my life has been:

My dear departed friend Andy. He was a big brother to me at a time when it was really important in my life.
The three things which I am most thankful for:
  • My family. My son, daughter, and parents.
  • My friends
  • My health.
Three of my best life-skills are:
  • Sharing my beliefs through teaching, participation, and example
  • Being a good friend and companion
  • Maintaining a network of close friends
The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:

How sensitive I am.
The things I can't live without are:
  • The love of my family.
  • My friends.
  • My dog Dusty.
  • My motorcycles.
  • My faith.
The first thing people notice about me:
I hope people notice how polite and cheerful I am. I like to make folks laugh so usually its my sense of humor.
Some additional information I want you to know:
I am a fairly simple man. I put a tremendous value on relationships and believe that honesty and integrity are at the center of any successful relationship. I am not a type A personality but I am a very caring and giving person. I treat people that way I expect to be treated. I know what it is like to be hurt so I try to be careful not to lead another person on and want that in return. I like women who are independent but feel completed when in a committed relationship.
I typically spend my leisure time:

Going to sporting events, seeing live music, working around the house, horseback riding, and riding my motorcycle. I love bike riding and try to make time for that as much as possible. I live near the Rillito bike path and love riding it.
The last book I read and enjoyed:

My job entails so much reading that I haven't read a book in a while. I do read newspapers, magazines, and internet news sites quite a bit.
My friends describe me as:
  • Dependable
  • Articulate
  • Easy-Going
  • Generous

Overall it's not a bad profile. It does make you sound like a very earnest, caring, serious, religious man. If that's what you are going for you hit it.

You did put in under the first thing people notice: "I hope people notice how polite and cheerful I am. I like to make folks laugh so usually its my sense of humor." I'm not seeing a hint of that sense of humor.

I've read a bagillion of these things through my time on eH and so I read them through quickly for a sense of who the person is. Here is what I got from you: Religious, serious, cautious of not being hurt again, rider. Your answers are mostly so generic that I'd not remember them and you would not stand out from the crowd. I'd like the profile better if you fleshed it out with personal details. It's also cliche: of course you are looking for an honest person, so far none of the profiles that I've read have been looking for a dishonest woman. Think it deeper. Why was Andy influencial? Did he see you through drug rehab? Sickness? Divorce? What? Having been married to an attorney for years, I do not date them - life style differences, but I think that with a job like that it's important to show your fun side. Motorcycles are wonderful, but after a few encounters with men in love with their machines I'd want to know if you enjoy having a rider and if you spend half the winter with parts being chromed all over the kitchen counters. I love to ride but only as a passenger so that would be important. You sound like a nice guy and well educated - that's a plus, so with some effort I'd think you could come up with a unique and stellar profile. Best of luck.

Also, be careful with the religion thing unless you are looking for a religious match. Lots of people close for mention of religion, I know I do.

I just skimmed your profile and noticed you repeated yourself in the 3 things and 5 things spots (family, friends). Change those up.

You have some great sections tho. I will have to come back and read them more later.

I read your other thread....hope this helps.

My impression is much like E's. You are probably a solid dependable guy. Which every woman should want.

But nothing makes me want to run to the phone. It's a bit bland. Nothing that might make a woman go ME TOO! or TELL ME ABOUT THAT! Or HAVE YOU TRIED....

What I would like to see you add is some more lifestyle specifics besides the bike. Types of food/music/tv/books you like. Are you PBS, NPR and merlot or Bud, BBQ and ESPN? Sushi, techno and Anime? Hoarders, twinkies and Madonna?

Lifestyle compatibility is huge. Are you sitting on the porch guy or running in the park guy or playing WOW on the computer guy? What do you do with your friends? Is it Sunday BBQ's with couples and kids? Monday night football? Is it game night and you need a partner who can do charades? I haven't the foggiest.

Also, I like to see sensory words. Hot showers, cold morning dog walks, worn levis, crispy bacon.

You don't have to be so serious or so literal. Five things I can't live without: Hot wings, cold Stella, my hot tub on my porch, my 6 year old rescued Shepard Rex, and Steeler's games. See how that SAYS something about a lifestyle? Or, mine were something like: hot bubble baths, worn levis, lip gloss, crispy bacon and a good book....does that give you an idea of "me"?

Give a woman something to latch on to. An idea of where she might fit. What you might do together. Ideally does she ride???

Give an idea of how old your kids are/whether they are home/or how often...so a woman can see if you are in the "Same" place...toddlers, prom, science fairs or not.
