I need help with my dating site profile...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

before you jump my case for looking for love on the internets... It's a local Democrats only site.

see, that makes it not pathetic. :)

Problem is the Occupation box. I'm a house painter/remodel contractor, but that just sounds boring.

How about...

Enamel Application Technologist

or

Reconstruction Consultant?


the rest could use a lot of fleshing out too, but I hate describing myself.


Who I am

I'm a CSPAN and Internet Junkie who's very upset at the current state of our Union. I like flowers and kittens and long protest walks downtown. I've been described as "clever" and "funny" and been told I have "soulful eyes and great hair." I dislike mean people, war, GW Bush, and trying to describe myself on dating sites.

Whom I am seeking

I seek a smart, nice guy with a sense of humor who can tolerate teenage boys and longhaired cats. Let's hang out over a tasty microbrew.



see? LAME! :blush:


Help me DU!


(and don't tell anybody. It's embarrassing)

1. "Contractor" says you're potentially

*very* buff and *very* rich.

Some chicks really dig buff and rich. :D

Shit, all chicks dig buff and rich. :D :D

On edit: I heard guys dig buff and rich too. :D :D :D

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. thanks for the edit!

:rofl:

unfortunately I am neither rich or buff, and I refuse to lie. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

5. Yeah, but it might make people curious enough

to get the first date in. :D

[idgiehkt]

6. I agree.

wow. a potential date would read that and think 'wow, this could come in handy' lol.

[XemaSab]

9. Oh, I forgot the part about

being able to install skylights like my co-worker's husband. :D

[MissMillie]

15. yeah, I was thinking that "contractor" was pretty impressive

:shrug:

[qnr]

2. Maybe it just sounds boring because it is familiar to you. Someone else might think the

occupation is fascinating.

4. Nothing wrong with internet dating...

sign of the times.

Typically my profiles are so full of bullshit that chicks responds to say that it was funny to read. That's part of the profile, showing off my humerous side. I've been ambassador to <name some obscure country>, leader of the Iowa 4 (notorious hubcap stealing bandits in Nebraska, not as much attention due to the Texas 7), Peabody-Pulizter-Obie-Emmy recipient for my works in Investigative Reporting and Opera writing...etc...stuff usually catches someone's attention. You may want to say something about your expertise on paints and how the White House is really not white but a light eggshell....a detail only experts in your field would be able to distinguish...

Have fun..

8. ahhhh!

now THATS clever! I hear with the budget cuts, they used Vinyl-acrylic latex too. Scandalous!

7. You know those people on HGTV, the ones with all the ideas

and such....

Well, I'm the one who takes those ideas and brings them to fruition....

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. I'm actually the one that comes in and finishes up...

all those projects that are started by people watching HGTV. :rofl:

You would not believe the messes people get themselves into. :) It is good for business.

[WCGreen]

11. Well say that....

That would make me take a second look at a profile...

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. how about this...

Dynamic lover of Liberty and Freedom seeks like-minded individual with a desire to offer assistance in my quest to rebuild the American dream as we paint a tapestry of equality for ALL in the hallowed-halls of Justice. Do not even bother to reply if you do not love laughing, children, small animals, sharing a micro-brew, and most of all yourself. No one can truly love another if they lack self-esteem.

<on edit> I call them the way that I see them, hon. You should know that by now.

By the way, I drink Miller these days because it is the only beer that bears a Union Bug. :toast:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

13. JG

You're awfully cool.

[rug]

14. "Love to spread liquid over large exposed surfaces"

[Hugin]

16. Get all Feng Shuie with it...

You EMPOWER interior spaces!

Yeah, that's the ticket.
