Males and Females

I'm not sure how "Pirates! Argh!" is a selling point but good luck! What does YOUR profile say? :D

I am most passionate about:
I love just taking it easy and enjoying music, movies, games, books, etc. But with a desk job and sedentary hobbies I do like to stay fit so working out and exercise is a must.


The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
Genuine. Anyone that lies, misleads, or manipulates others immediately loses my interest and respect.


Basic Information
Occupation: Broker/Customer Service
Age 26
Height 6' 1"
Wants Kids: No
Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity White, non-Hispanic
Religion: Neither religious nor spiritual
Drinks: About once a week
Smokes: Never


The most influential person in my life has been:
My best friend. We've been friends since middle school and have developed our hobbies and interests together through the years.


The three things which I am most thankful for:
My friends and family
My career
Summer FINALLY being over.

Three of my best life-skills are:
Understanding local, national, and world events
Continuing to expand my knowledge and awareness
Keeping physically fit

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
People always say I have blue eyes, but they're very much green. They see the blond hair and assume blue eyes for some reason...


The things I can't live without are:
Niche music. I love music but radio is terrible.
Movies, especially horror and history.
Card/PC/Board Games. I can be competitive.
Down time on my days off.
Good food. Life is too short to not enjoy.


The first thing people notice about me:
I always have a glass of water/juice/coffee in hand. Random, but true!


Some additional information I want you to know:
I've been focused on school/career the past several years and am finally looking to get a social life again. I'm looking forward to meeting someone with similar interests.


I typically spend my leisure time:
Discovering new music, geeking out with games, and working out/exercise.


The last book I read and enjoyed:
"The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. A mixture of horror and history about a girl and her father that are wrapped up in searching for Dracula, who is still alive today and has their mother/wife captive. A great dark adventure across multiple centuries in Eastern Europe.


My friends describe me as:

Genuine
Kind
Loyal
Intelligent
 
Writing a profile sucks, it's worse than having to write a resume.

Also i'm too weird to be able to talk about what i'm really like on a profile, i'd probably never get any messages if i did :\
 
Good luck Ozzman!

Is it rape if someone who is blackout drunk initiates sex with someone else and said drunk person can't remember it at all the next day? Been having this argument round and round.

It depends. Did the parties find each other attractive? If so, would the other have had a problem with being raped by the other person? If not, then no.

heh, online dating is interesting


Says the guy who didn't even last a week with it
 
Haven't paid yet, you don't get the pictures and other shit till you pay.

Yeah, eHarmony is pretty gay unless you're looking to find someone to settle down with through that site. If you're into casual dating or hooking up, look elsewhere.

My sister found her husband on eHarmony, so whatever.
 
I got messages from fat girls on okcupid. Fat older girls. Fat older girls who thought we were compatible because we both like cats. I need to rethink liking cats.
 
Here's the proof.

My date of sorts went pretty awesome, despite only being a short amount of time (an hour and 45 minutes or so, had to go photograph the protest). Going out again on Monday to eat some Thai food, nom nom nom.
 
that's funny. i feel like so many of you guys censor yourselves unnecessarily on online dating sites. my profile is pretty genuine but i'm not even interested in meeting anyone for anything real.

SELF SUMMARY

I can't sit still. I always have to be doing something, going somewhere, or occupying my time with good people. I'm not looking for a relationship or romance or sex at the moment - this is my "I'm single and selfish" time. I just go on dates for (sometimes free) food, company, and because I think it's important to hone your "getting along and bonding quickly with new people" skills.

I lived in Japan for 3 years and got back in late July so I'm a bit behind on what's what in the U.S. - especially things that are good to do in the area. I grew up here but it's kind of like I'm new in town again, you know?

What I’m doing with my life

I'm probably going to run off and work for a legacy airline as a flight attendant in the near future. Right now I play violin with the UAlbany orchestra. It's a very transitional time.

I’m really good at

Identifying local birds, learning guitar licks on violin by ear, applying fake eyelashes and liquid eyeliner, listening to people's love and relationship problems, T9 text messaging on a standard phone keypad.

The first things people usually notice about me

Nothing special. I wouldn't say I stand out in a crowd. I have big legs and I sound bored all the time.

Out and about doing something with someone, seeing a show, laughing over drinks, spending time with my folks, maybe something having to do with deep fried hamburgers.

I'm unemployed and live with my parents. I think poop is really funny.

You're that bored
 
Do I sensor myself too much?

I had a few girls talking to me on okcupid but those convos seem to have tapered off. The best one was with some sexy serbian girl. I swear they are some of the hottest babes.
 
I'm in a weird situation. All my friends at UMaine are undergrads and I'm....faculty now. I dress in a shirt and tie every day but hang out with them in the Union...like I'm caught between two worlds, professional and personal, and the two can't reconcile.

I'm at the point where I'm questioning the pride issue that's holding me back from getting an online dating profile. I'm still in a college environment every day, but it feels like after 4 years I've exhausted all my possibilities there, and being a faculty member and all the fish in the sea are....undergrads, just doesn't feel right. Ya know?

I just want to get out of Maine, but that won't happen till a year from now, hopefully.
