It's better, but still a bit elementary. Don't worry, writing is hard and a lot of people have difficulty with it. The writers for Toy Story rewrote the ending upwards of 60 times. So, don't get frustrated if it takes you more than 2 rewrites to get it right. I love to eat out. I love chicken wings and subs.Do you see how formulaic that is? Anyone could have written it. You might try telling a story, like so: I love to attend plays. Just recently I went to see Shakespeare's King Henry V, which I love for the Saint Crispin's speech. Came out of that place ready to fight for freedom!even that I think could use some sprucing up and rewrites, but you get the idea. |

Eh, I made cases for female and male, so I don't what you are talking about. Why would you assume a profile that would attract men would attract women? Have you ever
Nyc-er/ny'er...potato/potato. It's an abbreviation for a place full of yankees, so it's no big thing. |

When you live in Rome, the primary focus of your on-line profile is to interest other Romans. Admittedly, writing your profile so that you appear to be a tourist trying to pass as a native does have a slightly better probability of receiving a response than claiming to be an illegal immigrant living underneath a railroad bridge. On the other hand, there might even be one or two additional options to improve your chances of a favorable response. |

When in Rome to find a fuckparty, do whatever you can do to get into the fuckparty. Not necessarily what the Romans do. And honestly, why would someone want to go to Rome for a fuckparty? It's like ground zero for gonorrhea. Now Oslo or Stockholm or Copenhagen, yeah buddy. |

I've been told that STD rates in Sweden and Denmark are pretty high. Was I misinformed? |

Pretty sure you're going to be doing dating on a dating site, how are the two not basically the same? If you can approach and attract a woman in real life, you can likely do it on the internet just as easily.
Yeah, and how do you initiate on women in real life, by wearing a tshirt with your life history written across it? Dating sites somehow lead to the idea that the more information you plaster across your profile, the HIGHER your chance of getting a date becomes. If you approach a woman anywhere else, you know what she knows about you? Nothing except how you look, and within about 10 seconds she knows if she'd go out with you or not, almost before you even open your mouth, though communication and confidence while speaking can influence her interest in you. If she knows that quick, why do I need to tell her anything more to get a date? I could write anything under the sun anyways, true or not, and humor can be difficult since text has little in the way of indicating tone. You leave her nothing to discover about you if she can read everything about you before she even replies back, boring much?
Guys don't get much first messages from women anyways, it's very very leaning in the opposite direction. Some girls get so much attention they likely don't have time to even send out messages unless they hire a secretary to sort through messages. :P
The aspie part is probably somewhat of a special case, meaning I should probably give up on this discussion. |

I don't know. I was just being ethnocentric towards swarthy broads.
No, it is not like dating at all, in my opinion. It's basically similar to the small chat in a library/supermarket/ in a bar that gets you a date. Only the filtering mechanism for either party is quite a bit more involved than the "Yes, here's my number" or "Fuck off, creep/weird skank" distinction. It ismore similar to chatting someone up in class where you hold back because you don't want to have the class go tits up because you/she fuck something up.
Yeah, I am not advocating writing the bible, nor writing your life story. I said that in one of my first couple of posts. I also think your minimalism approach is flawed, from my own experience. Might have worked where you are, but for me, no such luck. I had periods of time where I got contacted multiple times daily. I also had more periods, however, where nothing happened. With that, I believe you do need a certain amount of information on there to make sure interests mesh when they contact you or screen you when you contact them. It's not just the pic. People do read the profiles. This guy just doesn't have that much information. The info he did have basically was concentrated nerdiness. He needs to dilute it.
I used to get quite a few message back in my time on OKC, so I disagree. A lot of it was profile based, sometimes it was pic based. OKC was probably better for me than my frat, minus the fucking. Definitely dated more from OKC.
alrighty. |

I live on an isolated Island called Staten Island, but I set sail using the ferry towards Manhattan--the trip to Manhattan is a story of itself. I'll try to give it shot--clear his throat. Its rough environment offers difficulties even the most experienced travelers can not overcome. Once trampled upon by waves of tourists at the terminal. You then endure the fight to get on board only to find that you are left to stand for 40 minutes. I love Manhattan and my favorite place is Washington Square. Plus, I go there frequently since my university is located there. You'll find me studying a lot, but when I'm not I love to socialize. After all its the city that never sleeps!

I’m really good at I'm really good at what I do which is bio-molecular science. However, I still have a great deal of passion towards the arts and theaters.

Your ad makes you sound like a tourist. I've spent a ton of time in NYC for work, and you don't sound like a local. The locals will pick up on this, and they are quite insular, so you might as well save yourself the trouble and acknowledge that you're from elsewhere, which will explain everything for them. If you're European and/or have studied in Europe, there's some status attached to that for many Americans, so you should sell it. It also will explain your occasional awkwardness with English, and they will be more forgiving. |

I think it's a lot better. I like your introduction a lot. I would take out some of the sexual innuendos. The coffee thing is cute, the "Friday" night with the smilie face and the "After all, It's an essential part to attract others." is a bit too strong for talking to strangers. Think about it this way - you'd ask a girl for coffee after meeting her, but would you ask her to make a new "Friday" night tradition with you? Probably not.
Are you actually from Germany? If so, a bit of grammar mistakes are fine as long as you mention that you are from Germany in your profile. That will also add a bit of allure. If you are a native English speaker, fix that grammar! Otherwise people will assume you're just a poor writer/dumb. |

(your 'revised' edition) Too many "I", "me", "my" words (38)!!!
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Suggestion: make an effort to rephrase expressions to reduce the sheer volume of times the reader encounters the word "I", "me" and "my". A few are fine. An army of them, tends to grate on the readers' sensibilities. |

Ill try.
Nope, I'm mostly of eastern/central european descent- Greek, Austria/German, Italian, Albanian. Turkey used to have more Europeans.
Okay, I'm a bit hesitant since I prefer not to copy but Ill use some aspects of it. |

The main thing I look for in a profile is ambiguity, nuance, and a sense of humor this is the opposite of that.

Yeah, if you don't think being from another country isn't something interesting, well, you would be wrong. Put that in...and the country you're from. |

I'll start on the website!
To exclude that possibility I played around with the cognitive functions a lot. The only one that made sense was INTJ cognitive functions. I have an extreme desire to connect everything to something else which is my Ni working. Second most dominant is the Te which I use to understand topics, and I have a strong preference for spatial visual learning. |

I really don't get the reluctance over this. Obvious non-native English speaker trying to pretend he's a native of New York to get dates... it makes NO sense. If you're too embarrassed to admit what country you're from, it doesn't bode well for success in relationships. |

Fair enough, I agree the Ni is the desire to connect everything- but for me that includes human behavior and emotions- but it makes sense if you are inexperienced in that field that those connections aren't there to make. |

How long has your picture been up? 15 isn't necessarily a great number, for you live in NYC which is a huge city. You also have to recognize that if you haven't had the pic up long you are going to get some initial hits but they quickly stop once people have decided to stop looking at you when you come up, either through the ignore feature or just not clicking on you. |
