Good Guys Don't Advertise

Good Guys Don't Advertise That's why they are so hard to find. Here is a profile I posted on a popular non-adult dating site. It's not what you are that defines you, but who you are.... I decided not to take ???'s advice about being successful on this site. I haven't checked out other men's profiles to see what they are saying. I thought I would do something different and tell you what I'm not, instead of what I am. This might give you a clue to who I am. In no particular order: I'm not tall, dark, and handsome but I'm not a troll either. See photos for details. I'm not rich but I'm not poor. I own a home and a car. I'm not unemployed nor am I a slave to my job. I have a job I love that pays me well enough, has some benefits, and I leave work at work. I'm not an alcoholic or drug addict nor am I a teetotaler. I enjoy a good craft beer and a tasty bud to smoke. I'm not a party animal and into going out to bars all the time. Although as a musician I've been in many bars and to many parties. I'm not a rock star. I am a musician though. I'm not a comedian but I can be funny and have a great sense of humor. I'm not a mechanic, plumber, or electrician but I can fix a car, a water leak, and a wall outlet. I'm not a chef but I'm not lost in the kitchen either. I've worked in restaurants for many years and enjoy cooking. I don't eat fast food all the time or eat at fancy restaurants. See above comment. I can<b> whip </font></b>up a meal faster than driving to McD's and it will taste better and be healthier. I can also cook a gourmet dinner that will rival your favorite restaurant. Did I mention I specialize in breakfast? I'm not a health and fitness fanatic but I eat healthy and do twenty pushups a day. I'm not a couch potato but I do enjoy TV after work and movies on a rainy day. otherwise I'm doing yard work and housework on the weekends. I'm not a slob but not a neat freak either. Clean enough to be healthy, messy enough to be comfortable. I'm not a big sports fan but I did get a little Royals Fever during the World Series. I'm not a cat person or a person. I am an animal person. I love all animals. I'm not good at social networking but I do have a Facebook page. I'm not a social butterfly nor a complete loner. I prefer shared company in social gatherings. I'm not standoffish, I'm just not very good at reading social cues. It helps when you say hi first. I'm not ignoring you, I have nerve deafness and didn't hear you. I'm not Albert Einstein but I am pretty darn smart. I'm so bright my mother called me . I'm not arrogant and egotistical nor totally self-deprecating. I have a positive view of myself and love who I am. I'm not perfect but I tend to be a perfectionist sometimes... especially in the kitchen. I'm not a Boy Scout (anymore) but I'm not a bad boy either. OK.... once a Boy Scout always a Boy Scout. I'm not a liar, cheater, or thief. I'm not needy, a clinger, or a stalker. I'm not looking for a mother nor a . I like independent women. I'm not looking for a maid or a cook. I can do my own laundry and my own cooking. I'm not looking for just friends or f*** buddies. I'm looking for someone to enjoy all facets of a relationship. I'm not superficial but I do believe mutual attraction. I hope this list gives you a sense of who I am. I'm not good at initiating a conversation but I'm pretty good at keeping one going, so if you find me interesting and want to know more about me, send me an email and say hi. What do you think? I would love to hear your comments. This blog is written for entertainment purposes only. Mostly mine, but I hope you enjoy it too. |

Having written these types of profiles for a living, I can tell you that there are a few issues here. First, it's too damn long! Looking at it all someone will see is a hunk of text with no white space to give the eye relief. Also the way its laid out is like a poem and few people want to read a poem when they are scrolling through a dating site. A good profile is a decent paragraph, maybe two short ones. The next big no-no is that each line begins with a negative. That's what sticks in a reader's mind and it makes the whole sentence feel negative.Not what you want in a dating profile. Finally, I tell people to leave out the obvious information. We assume that he's not a clingy stalker or arrogant bastard. When you put stuff like that in there people can begin to wonder why you would say that. So that's my $2.76.

I am *not* interested in No Strings (NSA), Fuck Buddy, or "I'm in town for a few days" situations. No couples....more You can have your $2.76 back because your profile starts out with a negative statement. I didn't need nor want to read any further. This blog is written for entertainment purposes only. Mostly mine, but I hope you enjoy it too.
