I'm interested in how my profile is viewed by others.
What stands out? The good, the bad, the ugly...
If it was paired with a nice letter would it generate interest? etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey guy... you should consider adding "... and my alignment is Lawful Good"!

Why do you suppose it is, when someone writes a gleaming account of themselves, they cap it with "I'm not perfect, I have my flaws" and then don't bother to go into them?

My advice would be to take a deep breath, calm your writing style down a bit and leave people something to ask you about. When people see you parading a list of cliche virtues (that you'll see on lots of pages, once you start looking), it starts to come off as a bit fake.

But hey... what do I know? I'm just a putz! bigsmile

very well done, not many people have covered the bases like you have, especially at your age, and it proves that you are serious, and another person looking for quality will see that you are worth your weight in salt. there's too many on here that write two lines and ask us what you are asking. stay in the forums and invite people in from outside, into the forums to get to know them, and it's an easy way to start talking to the people that you might want to meet......good luck mandrinker drinker drinker

Hey, you know what, I just might do that :D j/k.

I should start by saying I understand your point and I thank you for the input. As for why I don't go into that much detail on my short comings it's because (I believe)they are less general than the strengths.

For example, the strength of Honesty is pretty general. I've made it a point in my life to be upfront with people and tell them the truth about things. Part of it's an honor thing, part of it's people knowing that if I say something I see it as being the truth. (yes I know that reading this about someone online seems pretty fake, but writing something else would be untrue...)

Then with the short comings... I'm afraid of heights. Not that meaningful for the average person, but may be a sour point for someone who is eager to go sky diving.

I also enjoy watching a number of TV shows. Not because I don't have other interests but because the medium and the shows that have quality (under line quality) plot lines and stories have always interested me. I enjoy how similar to with books, one can be brought to a whole new world of stories. It is why I went to school to study the industry after all :) Some people may hate TV and may see my interest in it as a negative.

(Note: While I like books, I find that TV/Film worlds can be shaped more to what it's writer(s) intended. Where with books a lot can be filled in by the readers imagination, which is great in itself, it's not entirely the "vision" of the story's creator that you end up with.)

In both cases it depends more on the specific person that's reading my profile what a negative would be.

I guess after the above you could also add rambling to the list of short comings too :) lol.

I normally really don't come into this part of the forum unless it's to c0ck off, because most people who ask for ratings are either carbon copies of each other, or completely clueless. However, the very title of this thread asking for you to be rated drew my attention, simply because it was original and different than the normal mundane drivel we usually see. Very commendable.

First of all, I would like to say that you appear very well-written. This is a MAJOR plus. You've quite obviously got some education as well as talent, which is ALSO a good mark. Profile is clean and honest, and is very comprehensive. With the exception of a very few minor cliche phrases, all in all, it appears to be quite good.

I also notice that you have a background in broadcasting. So do I. I can only hope, with as well-written as your profile is, that you are one of the few rare of us who can actually pronounce the letter, "W", properly! :laughing:

Best of luck in your endeavors here, whatever they may be.

Any certain ones I should take notice of?

For a really good looking guy the pictures are not helping you connect very well. Can't name what that expression is about.

The text gives a lot of information, I can't believe I am saying it but it might be too much. The flow isn't real good because you keep switching directions

I will say you sound like you have a lot on the ball and you are one of the few I would point friends to and say you might want to check this guy out.

Hope you have a lot of fun. Welcome to the playpen.
