-Describe your personality instead of using INTJ.
- Put the hobbies after summary.
- Remove the two pics in the yellow shirt, you look like an arrested prisoner in them. The other pics are fine.
- The "What I’m doing with my life
Work, sleep, browse the internet, asking when will I get to see another good movie at the cinema." sounds very boring. Spice it up a bit.

I cant see it sorry. You can pm me the words and I will let you know but I cant judge your pics

In general - you need good pics. They are always looking for reasons to disqualify you

That first picture is really flattering, definitely keep that one in! However, as has been mentioned, much of the profile paints a picture of a pretty boring life. Even if your main interests are television and the internet, you could spice it up a bit with some jokes and silly references to your favourite shows. Also, you lament the lack of "good movies" but only mention what you think a good film is in passing. I would be more specific about this if it's something that is important to you, and I would remove all references to using the internet; you're on a dating website, it's sort of a given that you use the internet already. I would also consider not mention the self-help books you're reading, though it is admirable that you're taking steps to improve yourself that might not be the best way to bring it up in a dating profile.

I don't have an account so can't see but if you wrote "work, sleep, watch TV" on your profile, you might want to read this. It changed my life (for about a week, then I went back to normal lol...): http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-tru ... er-person/

This quote is particularly amusing:

Quote:
It's up to you, but don't complain about how girls fall for jerks; they fall for those jerks because those jerks have other things they can offer. "But I'm a great listener!" Are you? Because you're willing to sit quietly in exchange for the chance to be in the proximity of a pretty girl (and spend every second imagining how soft her skin must be)? Well guess what, there's another guy in her life who also knows how to do that, and he can play the guitar. Saying that you're a nice guy is like a restaurant whose only selling point is that the food doesn't make you sick. You're like a new movie whose title is This Movie Is in English, and its tagline is "The actors are clearly visible."

anyone agree the "who woke me up" pic could probably go? ;)

And every pic looks like you took it yourself with an outstretched arm... it's nice to know you have friends who can take your picture.

Lemme' check the rest... hmmmm....

Well that sounds positive... inspiring...

8O :help: I can't imagine many people jumping for the opportunity of a verbal assault... but, hey, at least you're honest about it! :D
Heck, some women might take it as a challenge!

Quite different from what I envisioned through your WP posts.

But I am crap at judging others anyway, so don't go by what say.

You have a cute nose. I like noses. But that's just me.

Good luck.
