So I've changed my profile a bazillion times, but a recent stem of bad luck has lead me to change it again. Here's what I have right now:

---

I'm the greatest me I know. There's no other me that's quite as awesome as I am, and that's a fact! There's just no competition.

That aside, I think I'm a pretty great guy in general. I live with my parents and don't have a job or a car. How great is that? That's what every woman wants, right?

No, really. I have a job and a car and stuff, and I totally don't live with my parents.

I just noticed that there's a lot of fish personalities that aren't actually fish. Whales, dolphins, turtles, eels? Come on POF! Who wants to describe their personality as "eel-like" anyways? What about "bottom dweller". Who actually picks that? I guess now I have to just to be ironic. Apparently I'm a bottom dweller now.

Ok, so I've totally side tracked myself. I'm supposed to be trying to get dates and stuff. Maybe I should focus on that.

So I'm looking for something pretty casual. I'm totally willing to settle down eventually, but it would have to be the right person. I'm not going to rush to the conclusion that someone is "the one", and I'm not going to make that decision without finding out what's out there first. I just want to go on some dates, meets some friends, and see where things go. I'm definitely not willing to jump directly to the "old, boring couple" phase of a relationship. Let's not skip right past the most exciting parts of a relationship.

Sexuality is also very important. I'm looking for someone who is open about their sexuality and willing to communicate freely. If you expect something of me, you should be willing to do it yourself. If we can't be equal, that is an absolute deal-breaker. Please don't waste either of our time if you are not willing to give what you receive.

That said, I'm not looking for something that is purely sexual. All components need to be present, companionship, friendship, intelligent conversation, and great sex. I don't think I'm asking for too much. It just means I might have to wait and find the right person. If you're not the right person, maybe we can still have some fun together or become friends. You'll never know until you message me. I am, afterall, the awesomest me you will ever meet.

What do you think I should change or remove? What do you think works?

I know you're supposed to avoid getting overtly sexual, but that's a pretty important part of what I'm looking for. I'm tired of dating women with repressed sexualities, and who expect oral but won't give it in return. I'd like to filter those out initially. That's an absolute deal-breaker for me. Maybe I could tone it down a bit? Say the same thing in a more subtle way? Maybe its not necessary? I don't know. What do you think?

I was just having fun with the fish thing. Maybe it doesn't belong? Maybe it's just fun enough and should stay? I guess I just wanted to show that I wasn't taking anything too serious, so I kind of started rambling? Does it work or should I just omit it?

Any help is appreciated.

I need some help with mine too bro, i understand your pain!

I've decided to move away from the online dating scene. I've decided it's toxic. I think internet addiction in general is toxic, as it isolates us from actual people. I am definitely an internet addict, and I am trying to ween myself from it. I've decided to take a hard line on internet dating. I'm just not going to waste my time with it anymore.

Through some recent changes in my life, I haven't developed any better game, but I have strengthened some friendships and realized how uplifting they can be. I'd decided to focus my attention on this. I can feel myself getting better at inter-personal relationships and I am certain that it will eventually lead to better game. This road requires more patience than spamming 20 women on POF or OKC, but I think it will be far more rewarding in the long run. The important difference is that I'm focusing on developing relationships with actual people in the real world.

I don't mean to preach. This is a recent revelation for me. Since you've expressed the same pain I felt, I figured I would share. I'm sure plenty of others feel the same thing. Perhaps it's time we actually connected with real people, even if they are guys or platonic female friends.
