Hey baka that is the link to your own profile once you are logged in, it's not a universal link for everyone.

It should look like:

www.okcupid.com/profile?u=USERNAME

(USERNAME being your alias on OkCupid).

I hear ya, man. Sometimes your interests, lifestyle and needs are in a minority depending where you are from and the local culture.

Hey.

I would explain what a Hookah bar is or just indicate you work in a themed bar. And reword / remove all the hookah references in general. There are a lot of stupid people out there :lol: and they might interpret it as ghetto spelling for hooker.

Unfortunately that might mean editing your 6 things you could never do without. A suggestion, you could link a pic to it instead and go "this (link of pic here)"

You don't want the thug life girls but want them around your age? I would suggest changing your grooming habits (facial hair, hair style). Those photos aren't bad, they just might not appeal to the age group you're looking for as you seem very mature.

Your media interests seem pretty cool! Avoid hesitant and vague language about the stuff you like. Cut right to it. "I'm reading this and this, I think this about it..." , other books I enjoyed are -X -Y -Z etc.

Are you learning Japanese? It says you can speak Japanese poorly. You could touch on that in your what you are doing with your life section. You could also say what types of things you have been cooking, what you've be studying and if you are working days or nights and so forth.

Just say on a Friday night you are hanging out with friends, or what it is you do at home besides smoking (that might be listening to music).

Work on your capitalization a bit.

Don't mention you might be moving. If I was a girl, I would see that and say "Why waste my time? He's leaving in a few months."

Def try to rework the "What I'm doing now?"

heh.... should I thread-jack to ask for a critique of my account (username "SeeThreePeeOh") or start my own? ;)

I tried to find your account, baka_kun... no luck. Maybe my search criteria is killing the results...
