Sorry, y'all. I'm new. I don't know the vibe/protocol. Read the rules so I THINK I'm good. Also, I'm Canadian so - sorry. Anyone have any thoughts on my profile? Also also, I think it's cool this place has forums (fora? My ancient Greek is a little áza - uhm, rusty).

No doubt! I would make the second picture the main one. Gorgeous

Wow! I loved it! I'd like to offer my opinion though. I don't find you to be attractive at all in the second picture where you have a mask of some form covering your face. It's creepy. Please get rid of it and replace it with another picture of your handsome self. Perhaps one that shows you laughing or smiling. Second, I would love to know what you bring to the table, top three (or four) qualities you desire in a partner, and what you are looking for.

Thank you,feelyoungagain. I very much appreciate your opinion/ perspective and understand that it's subjective (just as I also caught and appreciate the "handsome self" part - I really have no idea where I am on some arbitrary "1 to 10" scale).

As to the creepy mask: I made it (I make things; often creepy things). It's a face-hugger from the Alien movies. It says something about me. You don't like it - absolutely cool! For someone who digs it - I've made a connection.

I also tried to show that I appreciate honesty, intelligence and humour rather than just say "I'm funny, smart and honest". These are things I have and want. If I was subtle about it, take it to mean that I prefer someone who has nuance and perception. Again, you can't just blurt that out. I honestly wonder at the profiles that just say "I have a sense of humour". At the very least say: "I have a sixth sense of humour - I see dull people. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"

Lastly, and I mean this with gentle humour and poking fun, "qualities you desire in a partner, and what you are looking for" is the poster hanging in the Redundancy Department of Redundancy.

I also appreciate you playing "straight-man" for my reply. Thank you.

You're welcome. Fine, keep the mask! LOL Yes, there are people that will drool over your mask. I am not one of them (haha). Then why not add a picture of you smiling, laughing, or having fun? So humor me back then, would you? You say, "the poster hanging in the Redundancy Department of Redundancy." Well.. as an outsider reading your profile, I don't know what you're looking for. I have to have things spelled out to me. Hence the reason I'm a straight shooter. I don't guess and don't like to guess. I don't see specifically what you are looking for in a woman. So... bite the bullet and be redundant and tell women what you want because honestly, I did not get/see that you appreciate honesty, intelligence, and humor. I just know that is who you are. I still don't see it as it stands. So, while you think it's obvious to others, it's not obvious to all. Best to spell it out than assume that people get it. Gosh. What if only one woman out of the entire dating site membership gets this and she's not your type?. Food for thought... I do not recommend changing anything you already have; just adding on a few things. It's one of the few profiles that caught and kept my attention; particularly where you described yourself. Just enough to not get bored, but wanting more. Nice glimpse into who you are, your personality.

I refuse to rate anyone's looks by a number; handsome you are hands down. How's that? :)

"Just enough to not get bored, but wanting more." GOT YA! BOOYA! Hook, line and sinker.
But, yes, I see what you mean: hobbies, interests, pets, bizarre fetishes you hope your mother will never hear about, etc. etc.

How about art, painting, drawing, guitar, speculative fiction?

Seriously: is there not enough in my profile to spark a question beyond "How are you?"
At this point I expect the opening questions to be: "have you ever been incarcerated for domestic abuse" (NOT a funny subject!)and "how much in debt are you?"

I dunno - maybe I should just post a shirtless pic and call it a night...

There's plenty, but would it kill you to add one last sentence (God forbid two LOL) saying what you like in a woman? I personally would not reach out to you not knowing if I'm wasting my time. That's all. But.. your life, your choice, your mask... haha
