First problem and it was all I need to know it will fail is you told the truth. Never tell the truth, you have to sell yourself it is like going for a job interview you don't lie really but you leave out everything negative.

Read the last paragraph while typing this and the entire thing is a problem take out everything negative in it. Everyone you read about will be all fluff and what they think people will want to see.

Ya tough to do with AS but NT people function and survive in these little bubbles of self made reality.

I don't know. I would leave out everything regarding your fascination with knives and firearms, it kind of looks scary. Also, don't call yourself "damaged" and "scarred". Only put in positive things in your profile, that "damaged" and "scarred" thing will give people the impression that you're an emotional wreck, only let other people deal with those things about once they get to know you.

I would say the same, too. But, it would be awesome if my potential gf was comfortable sharing a house with my future carry weapon. I only have one firearm and, trust me, balisong flipping is therapeutic. I'm intrigued by firearms not because it's a guy thing, but because it's kinda cool watching a bamboo tube with powder and a rock turn into weapons we have today. Those who don't know what a balisong knife is, look it up on YouTube, these guys are nuts! :) Balisongs are known by their infamous street name "butterfly knife", which, according to Hollywood, is the ultimate bad guy knife. I probably should leave this info out, but I've taken CJ in college, serial killers won't openly admit to fascinations with guns and knives. Anyone remember Ted Bundy?

And I DID say IF I was completely honest. The cool thing about the internet, no one knows when you're full of s***.

Lol Yeah, Codyrules37, I'm going to book tickets to Ireland to kill Lucky the Leprechaun, then go to Central American to poach Toucan Sam, and then, after, I think I'll go to India to deal with that pesky Tony the Tiger. I like you guys already. Lol

1. Leave the leprachaun alone, he has lep-rocy
2. Leave the tiger alone, for obvious reasons.

Beyond that, I'm cool with you :)

Here's how we fix this profile up while still accurately representing you. Watch this.
Name: Taylor
Age: 20
Height: 5'5"
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Mixed race of ___ and ____
Build: Burly
Profession: Currently looking for work.
Hobbies and Interests:
I enjoy guns as a hobby. When I get a job to get more money I'd like to get into competitive target shooting and starting various themed collections. I collect balisong type knives as well. I also enjoy playing Fallout, Minecraft, going on Youtube, and engaging in political debate.
Description:
(don't know how to fix emotional damage by mincing words very well, but I'll give it a try)
I have some emotional damage and scars over the years from past events but I'm trying to make a fresh start. The mechanical aspect of firearms greatly fascinates me and when I have a steady job going I have a goal of having a collection of various firearms from historical eras ranging from pre-WWI to the present day. I play Minecraft and Fallout quite a bit, they're very addicting games and very fun, and it would be great to find a girl who also enjoys these games. I'm extremely affectionate and love to cuddle, and am also smart, though somewhat eccentric. Though I'm a bit rough around the edges at the moment, and occasionally a bit moody, I try to be a kind person.

---
See, we managed to say almost the same thing. Just one looks reasonable, the other makes you look mentally unstable. I mean I'm not one to talk, as my eligible oddbods dating profile here looks terrible, because I don't like myself much, but yes. But this is the difference presentation makes. Think like a lawyer whenever you're presenting yourself to people (yes, I should have done this before I made 5000 idiotic posts on here.)

All I can think of is a funny butterfly knife story,my foster brother had a collection ,the funniest one was a knife that had a floppy blade,when you'd flip it out the blade would not be straight.We used to pull it out and flip it open and laugh,yeah,we gonna cut you :lol: But we were stoned teenagers.
The sharp temper part sounds scary,so you have knives AND a sharp temper.Maybe not the best use of words.

I just looked up balisong knives. Those look sweet. Some of us females aren't terrified of weapons. I've shot a few guns before, which was a blast.

If it's your passion, then it's your passion. Just try not to obsess too much about it (weapons/hunting) in your dating profile. Try to show that you have multiple interests; be fun and interesting.
