I decided to breathe new life into my OKC account since things have improved for me lately and I'm in good spirits.
The profile is in a writing format similar to how I'd speak in person and I tried to avoid listing things because people can find that out about me later.
Other than that I have nothing else to say about the profile.

Feedback is welcome, and on this occasion I'm not gonna defend anything I've written but instead taken onboard any criticism you might have and at the very least acknowledge what is said here.
After all, I want to give dating aonther try. It's no good if I'm the only person that likes my profile, I am making it for other people after all lol

Ok....take your best shot!

My only criticism of your profile is that I cannot see it.

"This user restricts their profile to OkCupid members only. Sign in or create an account."

I can't see your profile because I'm not a member of OKC, but I have thought for some time that if I were twenty years younger, and lived a few hundred miles south of where I am, I'd be more than happy to go out with you.

If I were twenty years younger, I'd say date, but I'm not and I can't.

Ah right. Okay will change it to public for a little while. Refresh in a minute.
And Marcia age is but a number, but I get your point.

ooh I really liked it. Especially that you chose a nice smiley photo of yourself and it was a really fun profile to read. If it weren't for the age difference and football .. I hope you get some good matches from this, I'd be interested in how you get on.

Finally, my laziness in deleting my OKC account paid off.

Seems like a pretty good profile to me. I am wary of the whole income thing, however. Could just be me, but I worry someone will look only at that and decide to speak to you based on it.

It needs some punctuation. It's not clear what "Breaking Bad" is.

Where have you been the last 5 years? I'll consider maybe changing it in self summary bit.

Yep, I'm too old and too far away.

Good profile - informative, friendly and real.

I think it's great. Informative, relaxed, and humorous.

If you don't get dates, it won't be because of the content in your profile. Nice job.

I don't see you getting far with just that one picture.

I hope you find the woman of your dreams.

Thanks. I'll try to get some regular photos as all I got right now are selfies.1 picture as you say probably won't cut it as the women are probably going to want to know what I look like on average.

The only part that would ring alarm bells with me personally is the bit where you say "I am a person that commits myself to my passions, my work and most definitely to other people in my life." The way my brain interprets that is that you're saying that your life is already full of people that you're very close to, which makes it sound like you wouldn't have time for a romantic partner.

As an Aspie, personally I am an "all or nothing" person. I cannot handle multiple friendships, and can't really handle having a friendship as well as a romantic relationship. I always invest 100% in a relationship, and have nothing left over for anybody else. This means I find it very hard to understand how people can post adverts claiming they want a romance when there are already people in their life (even though I accept that not everybody is like me, and some are capable of sustaining multiple friendships at a time).

You don't really explain what you mean by "committing" yourself to the people in your life. Are you hinting that you wish to be a committed boyfriend to someone and are trying to make the point that you are capable of commitment? Are you implying that you are always there for your friends and family to turn to in a crisis? Or do you mean that you frequently socialise with your friends, and commit to seeing them on a regular basis? If the latter, it gives the impression that you would perhaps expect your romantic partner to socialise with all these "other people in your life" as well, and that idea freaks me out (but that's just because I'm a person who can't handle large amounts of social interaction).

However, the vast majority of people would probably not interpret it like that at all. Most people (read, neurotypical people) have their lives overflowing with friends and family, and social interaction with multiple people is considered to be desirable and necessary. In the neurotypical world there would probably be alarm bells ringing if you didn't say that there were other people in your life. Also, the vast majority of people have no objection to being introduced to (and socialising with) their partner's family and friends. So I think whether you want to leave that part in or remove it depends on whether you are hoping to attract NT women or autistic women with your profile. Would you like an Aspie girlfriend, or an NT one? Or do you not really care?
