I'm filling out a membership for plentyoffish and I'm stuck.

I have to give a short description of myself using the following list as a guide/help.

1. Talk about your hobbies.
2. Talk about your goals/aspirations
3. Talk about youself and what makes you unique.
4. Your taste in music.

I wrote:

Quote:

My name is Jim. I'm a single guy who enjoys quiet times with friends. Walks on the beach,

That's all I could come up with.

Now what? I don't really have anything to say but I'm looking to make a good first impression. I know no one here knows me but I need something good.

My experience says... be random, be honest. If you want to talk more, I'd be glad to share some from one of my profiles when I was single.

I definitely want to be honest. Deception is no way to start a friendship, only to end one.

Thank you for your offer and I might take you up on it.

I'd say forget their advice if I was you, and just come up with something orginal that reflects you, if they don't like it. Thats their problem.

"
Im a total assh0le. I love tender moments and little cats. An ideal time for me includes making out near family picnics and making your ex-boyfriend jealous, I enjoy girls with good personalities, but always seem to pick the ones with the best @ss.

So just the other day I was walking down the streets of A.T.X. and the women were turning their heads and just staring. Some even shouted comments like “Hey cutie, nice ass!” or “Come with me and I’ll treat you right!” . Where do they get off? And the worse part is, most of them were too afraid to come up to me and say “hello”. Why aren’t there any good women out there.

Sometimes a man likes to be treated like he is more than just a “plaything”. You can’t expect me to sleep with you just because you buy me a drink.

Who I'd like to meet:

Fat chicks. People who laugh at my jokes. High self-esteem types who don't take things too seriously. Married women interested in making their husband jealous in order to get expensive gifts. 5'8 to 5'9 and a half spontaneous blonde dancers with adventerous personalities.

I’m looking for People with SUBSTANCE. BEAUTY is COMMON, but what’s truly rare are people with more. What are some things that stand you apart from the rest?

"

How about that? :wink: course your personality may not be like mine.

I guess. Their advice was only meant as a suggestion to help those who might have difficulties talking about themselves. I don't seem to have that problem here.

I began reading the other male member's descriptions and I can't do that. Everyone was so self-absorbed, my sh*t doesn't stink, you women are gonna love me, I'm the best thing in the world to happen to you. That's not me.

Yeah, thats what most people do I guess. But they're just lying to hopefully get some interest.

:D:D That's great and I couldn't use any of it. I would feel like such an ass trying to score off of someone else's personality. As I said that's some great material but I'm more of the lump on the log, watch the paint dry type of person.

I appreciate the help and advice but I think I'll have to figure this out on my own and I apologize for wasting everyone's time. Thanks again.

dont leave quite yet, one last thing. Im gonna preface this with something simple.

Trying to describe yourself in a short bio is impossible, no matter what you write you will be leaving out 99% of everything you are.

You have to view the short introduction your allowed as a kind of "loss leader" The only purpose of that bio is to bring the people in. attempting to describe yourself in the standard way is #1...standard/cliche and #2 incredibly tough. use that space to show just one interesting slice of you, using the example above, look at it, its eye catching, it shows wit/intelligence (in my own way) and humor while at the same time perhaps setting me apart from the rest. ive never used it for anything more then my facebook/myspace page. but the concept applies to any site.

make stuff up.

1. Collecting teeth.
2. Becoming ruler of Myanmar.
3. I have an impressive set of pectoral muscles. They are the envy of even the greek god of pectoral muscles. My pectoral muscles make me unique.
4. Polka.

Thanks for the advice JustGiveIn. I'll come up with something that doesn't make me uncomfortable saying and that won't make women expect more than I can offer.

You have a great sense of humor. I hope you make use of it in an occupation that will appreciate it.

ZEGH8578, some more great ideas. With your words and my studly picture there is no way I could miss. Or is there?
