The following may be a bit too open and personal for some people. If that's you, please, just move on to the next thread. I'm not here to piss anyone off.
For various personal reasons, I've decided I'm going to attempt to date via one of those online sites that matches people up. You know, dating websites. I haven't decided which one yet, and it's going to be a bit before I have time to really delve into it, due to work and other stuff I have to take care of in my life, but I decided to seek advice from you fine folks. Not so much on which website I choose, though I will welcome suggestions on that as well, but more on what you think I should put in my profile description.
This request may sound odd, as I am not known for being at a loss for words. But the thing is, I am verbose as a motherfucker, and have trouble editing myself. Also, while I am great when advising others in this kind of thing, I have trouble guiding myself. The barber who can't cut his own hair, if you will. Also, recent events have both sharpened my focus in some areas, but also have made others less clear. And I could use some help focusing.
So, if you were helping me write this profile--which is kind of what I'm asking for help in here--what would you suggest I put down, from what you know of me on here? I'm not looking for generalities, such as "be yourself," or "be honest." I always am both, or try to be as much as I can. (I lie like hell to my mother and the government, of course. And sometimes I have to lie to a degree to my customers as well.) No, I'm looking for specifics. From what you know of me in our interactions here, what would you suggest I highlight or say about myself? And this is not a fishing expedition for compliments, mind you. I prefer honesty, even if it's of the negative variety. ("Whatever you do, don't mention what a psycho nutcase you are to your nieces' dates! Or the time you shot up heroin with Jim Morrison!") I'm just looking for outside perspectives.
I'm not looking to get laid, though I don't object to that. I am looking to find someone I can date, that we can enjoy each other's company, have some mutual interests, make each other laugh, make each other smile, and maybe even make each other crazy. Someone witty and intelligent, but who enjoys life, and is generally positive. Someone who enjoys good food and drink, but isn't getting arrested in drunken brawls. I like a good story, but I don't need undue drama.
In short--and this is probably a terrible analogy--I feel like Lloyd Dobler, and I'm looking for Diane Court, and you guys are my Corey and D.C. Or something like that.
