There's only one question on OKCupid that really matters to me.
Your a bitch!" What bothers you more about the above sentence?
The grammar
Munkus Beaver on
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
My Self-Summary
Let me express how much I hate writing about myself. Talking is a different story. Sometimes I can't shut-up. Especially when I'm drunk. I if I am talking at all, I may be partially unintelligible. In other words: I talk waaaaaaay too fast (especially when I'm nervous, ladies).
MISTAKES: In one paragraph you have made yourself completely unappealing. You should like writing about yourself, because yourself is supposed to be good. If it's not good to you, why is it going to be good to her? Talking about being drunk is a chump move to seem worldly. Don't do it. Talking about being nervous is also not great. Go for more relaxed. Chilled out. Like this is a fun lark and you don't care if you meet anyone or not.
My writing, on the other hand, is far more expressive. This probably has something to do with learning at a young age and being the outcast of my elementary school.
This is better, except the part where you're an outcast at elementary school. You can put that in better terms. All I picture is a kid with non-standard underwear hanging out and a fly on his lip.
I got bet-ter. Thank whatever.
This seems like a joke. I think. Or a reference. Whatever! Go for it
I was raised Mormon, and am currently agnostic and studying philosophy when I'm attending school (as well as history and a spot of music). Religion is a dicey subject for me- I do not mind people believing whatever they want, as long as they do not make huge leaps in logic or believe in obviously false information because of it. You'll find that I scorn such thinking in general; as hard as I try to be accepting of others' beliefs.
Don't talk about logic and reason in terms of religion because you're either going to A: Seem like an asshole to a potentially nice girl who still has a Jesus chain or B: Seem like an asshole to just anybody. Talk about philosophers you like. Don't use phrases like "spot of" or "scorn". A handy trick is this: if you wouldn't say it to a cute bank teller without it tasting like ashes in your mouth, don't attach a picture of yourself to it.
My educational history has its leaps and falls (a great deal of falls) and I am currently settling on the fact that I will eventually reach a Master's degree once I muster the discipline to do so. In the meantime, I just try to do as many units as I can handle per semester.
See, you somehow made the fact that you're working on a Master's degree seem like a bad thing. Don't describe it so negatively. Talk about how you're working on your Master's more and talk less about how you've been a dropout or whatever in the past.
I do enjoy physical activity when I can arse myself to do it. Running is a favorite, and I have been experimenting with Parkour (depending on my insurance status). Martial arts are fan-freakin'-tastic, but I can't afford classes, at the moment.
Fan-freaking-tastic is a phrase that is going to make a woman's vagina shrivel up and fall off. Again, bank teller. Also, arse. Don't say arse, man. Unless you are British? But it seems you are from California.
Personal time is super important for me. I don't mind large groups for a reasonable period of time. Intimate get-togethers interest me far more.
Instead of "I don't mind" why not say "I like"? No one likes someone they have to drag to a party. Instead of "intimate get-togethers", which sounds like a really tender orgy, why not "hanging out with close friends"?
Probably should have mentioned this first, but I am a total geek. Video games, sci-fi and fantasy books, table top RPGs, and forums are among my usual activities. I make sure to get myself outside on a frequent basis (especially since my job demands it- everybody wins).
Drop the tabletop and the forum thing and substitute the words "sci fi" and "fantasy" with the names of actual titles of books and stuff. I'm not saying don't be yourself. I'm saying let it unfold over time. Also, the injection of confidence and fun that will have arisen from the edits you make will make this seem like a fun quirk about you, not the core and explanation for your entire personality.
I really can't think of much else to say about myself. I, uh, tend to waiver between being fairly interesting or unbearable, depending on the individual observing me.
Do not describe yourself as unbearable.
What I’m doing with my life
Pushing myself through school and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, all while trying to broaden my interest a little.
This is good! Maybe mention some good options for what job you might take.
I’m really good at
Video games, annoying people, reading, writing, history, delivering sarcasm, and... being modest and succinct? Not sure about those last two.
Drop the annoying people part and the delivering sarcasm part. This is the place to brag. A joke is good. Good work on the joke. A better one would be "Working on developing THE classiest signature drink. I know it needs gin and I go back and forth on adding a twist of lime." See, work the drinking thing in there naturally, not like a hat you might wear
The first things people usually notice about me
My vaguely handsome looks and smile, and then how awkward I am around new people.
Jesus christ on the cross drop the awkward thing. You realize any girl you meet on this site will BE a new person, right? So why would you want to say you're going to be awkward around them?

The six things I could never do without
1. the internet
2. any of my limbs
3. my ability to read
4. my mind
5. my fantastic friends
6. family
reverse the order here
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Government, religion, the latest book, movie, or game I experienced, work, Philosophy, and alcohol.
again the alcohol thing.
On a typical Friday night I am
Either sitting at home on my computer, out in town with a buddy or two, or driving somewhere else to see family or distant friends.
Drop the computer thing.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Rush Limbaugh was my childhood hero.
You should message me if
you... are... interested?
cool joke bro
Good lord, I might as well delete my account.
edit: totally a criticism of myself because I don't really have a good perception of myself
Doobh on
Miss me? Find me on:
Twitch (I stream most days of the week) Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
God some of you have horrible profiles and I'm considering re-activating my account just to show yall how it's done.
But then my ex might see me on there and hoo boy that is a whole lotta no fun
Yeah I want to set up an account to see what sort of messages I would get but I enjoy not having my balls in a vice. I'm also too lazy to get pictures of me taken.
Welp I'm starting to see girls on here I recognize and it's making me a:feel like a stalker and b: kinda want to make a profile for fun. Id regret it though
It's something that goes best with a profile pic of a girl holding a red solo cup and making the pouty lips face. See also: nearly every girl in college going to get their Mrs degree.
this is actually one of the things I can't stand about online profiles in general.
Yes, you drink. That's great. Certainly there are some pictures out there that don't involve you holding 1+ beverages in your hands, goddamn lush.
haha, this was the exact profile pic of the girl who i was talking about
But on the fucking backwater Web .003 that is Plenty of Fish I have fone much better and my profile is almost exactly the same.
I blame the silly quizzes and bitches be crazy

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
My Self-Summary
I am someone who is very passionate about expression.
Maybe show this...or should I say express it??!
What I’m doing with my life
I am studying chemistry education. I also study philosophy and religion.
Go a little more specific. Like what you might learn on like, the third week in one of those classes. Just barely out of the reach of a layman but still in normal people terms.
I am going to be a science teacher in the near future.
I’m really good at
Conversations.
You could probably illustrate this with like, some witty talking. Or more talking at all.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I like a lot of books. My favorite author is J.D. Salinger.
I listen to the Beatles a lot. Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, Ultimate Spinach, 13th Floor Elevators, and many other obscure 60's and 70's music.
This is a good mix of super known and super unknown.
The Darjeeling Limited is, so far, my favorite movie. Synecdoche, New York is a close second. I also like June Bug, Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and the Life Aquatic. Alright, I'll just admit it: I love Wes Anderson and his movies.
Good. This is a fun thing and kind of smart but not threatening at all and sort of childlike but brainy at the same time.
I love to cook, and I cook almost every night. Usually of Italian cuisine, and some Indian and Middle Eastern foods.
Yes! Fantastic. You are bringing something to the table for sure.
I used to play a lot of video games, but not so often anymore. I like RPGs a lot.
Talk about some nostalgic video game. You seem to be working the coy-youthful-hip angle, and this will help that.
The six things I could never do without
Love and smiles and silly things and stupid things and sad things and good things.
Yes, called it.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I bet I'd share just about anything if you asked me. You tease!
You should message me if
you want to learn more about me. Ok at this point you're kind of taking the coy thing to kind of a dick level. Be a little more open about yourself. All around good profile though.
oh skull man, the things you have to say are just right

If you are a woman and you make a profile then you will get 5 messages before you put in anything and 15 messages before you can fill out your profile.
And you will get around 30 messages once your picture has gone up.
90% of these messages will be pick up artists or dudes without shirts on.

Messages will consist of them telling you that you are hot, with the least amount of words and vowels necessary to convey this.
