Great Dating Site Profile For a Man from Match.com

A great dating site profile for a man I found on match.com. I will include excerpts below. So, why is it so great? Because the guy clearly shows that his life is fun and exciting. He stays positive throughout the whole profile write up. Check this out.

I'm a well-rounded guy that grew up all over the world, is very well travelled and even though I'm a bit of an intellectual, I definitely know how to have fun. I've got a job I love, a great apartment in the city and a great set of friends in SF. I am outgoing, funny, and generally like to enjoy life and all it has to offer. I travel a lot for work and for fun: this year so far I have been to Australia, Peru, 5 US cities, Mexico City, Barcelona and Amsterdam, and before the year is out I will add Vietnam, Brazil and Argentina to that list. I live my life with the most kindness, honesty and respect for others beings that I can, and I do my best to appreciate the beauty and wonder in all things big and small. I was in a healthy relationship for a long time; my wife and I split about two years ago.

Physically, I am medium build and in good shape (not huge or anything but I work out). I am very stable and have a good head on my shoulders. I promise I am not a stalker or crazy person. :) I like music, art, a deep conversation, a good glass of wine, movies, traveling, using my brain (I'd rather be out doing something than watching TV), cooking and spending time with family and friends. I tend to like dark exotic looking women (but appreciate lots of different types of women) that are easy going, fun, have a good sense of humor, a solid brain in their head, and a sense of adventure.

What Is a Match.Com Testimonial?

Match.Com has recently introduced a new feature, called a Testimonial. Basically, it is a way for people to give a representation of themselves through the eyes of their friends, family and other third parties. We all have friends and our friends can always say good things about us, otherwise they wouldn’t be friends. You can have a friend, an ex, a family member write a short summary about you and they will surely tell us all what a great catch you are and why we should date you.

Here is a testimonial someone wrote for me a while back. I think it was a great testimonial and it describes me very well and to the point.

From Her Friend:

All Hail to the Queen...what amazing dynamics she brings to the table. Elaine has the beauty, brains & body of Sharon Stone & a powerful fight in her like "Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee" Muhammad Ali. In all truth & fairness this lady has a heart of gold...similar to the beautiful locks on her head. With her stimulating conversation & wit Elaine has the ability to meet any challenge head on with confidence & composure. If your lucky you might get to know her and I'm sure you'll agree.

How Not To Write an E-Mail to a Man on a Dating Site

Let me start off by saying that as a woman, you should not write an e-mail to a man first. I personally do not recommend initiating contact with a man on a dating site. I am old fashioned and much prefer that a man contact me first. But to each their own, as they say, and if you are so compelled to write an e-mail to a guy on a dating site, you should make it really short.

Here is an e-mail my guy friend received recently on a dating site from a woman living nearby. I will include the e-mail here, and of course, I will slightly paraphrase it and I will not include any names. Below I will comment on this e-mail and why you should not write an initial e-mail on a dating site that is like the one below. So, here it is.

I have had your profiled saved for a few weeks and haven't written. Why? I am not sure. I really enjoyed reading your profile especially the part where you want a woman that has ample room in her heart to be filled with love, passion and devotion. I am looking for a guy where the little boy is alive and well and actively engaged in life. I am not just talking about living life, but doing it! Someone who is emotionally and physically available to reach true intimacy with one person. I believe that true intimacy is the connection of mind, body, soul and spirit; something that many people have never experienced nor have the idea that it even exists! The man I am looking for is self aware and uninhibited, spontaneous, passionate, romantic, and mostly soulful. He must be able to laugh at himself and recognize his faults as no one is perfect, but willing to grow together with friendship and honesty as the foundation of a wonderful relationship!

Don't let the corporate picture fool you; only one I had. I have a feminine side that is a huge part of who I am. I have been told that I am much prettier than my pictures; no games here. I have had misrepresentation done to me and it isn't nice! My hair is longer, curlier and I have a deeper tan. I am a Libra also and passion is the way that I live my life in whatever I am doing!

So if anything that I have said intrigues you, please write and then we can meet. I am not technical and prefer the old fashion way with the personal touch!

Hope you are having a great evening and that I hear from you soon

I personally think that this is a great e-mail except for one thing. Until you haven’t met, it is unreasonable to have such high expectations. You wouldn’t want to put your heart out for someone you’ve never met. Granted, deep down we all want what she had described. However, putting the cart before the horse and raising unrealistic expectations upon someone you’ve never met before is premature.

An Eloquent Male Profile on Match.Com

Checking out men's dating profile today came across a well-written man's dating profile I liked that I decided to share here with you. Please, note that this is an actual dating profile that someone has posted on match.com, so be aware of dating site plagiarism if you decide to copy parts of it, and be sure you don't include in your dating profile anything that doesn't apply to you.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. After considerable thought on this subject I have decided to be very verbose and concise in describing myself and the woman I am searching for. (Please allow me to apologize for the contradiction in terms.) Trying to describe ones self is a daunting task, as we tend to see ourselves in a different light than we actually are seen and precieved by others. None the less, I shall endevour to be as neutral and accurate as possible while maintaining a " Positive Spin" in a P.T. Barnum kinda way. Born In San Francisco, drove cross county at the age five to the East Coast where my family is originally from. ( I did not drive the car myself, but would have gladly if anyone had requested that I do so.) (( I appologize for ending the previous sentence in a preposition)) {"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put"Sir Winston Churchill} Lived in D.C. with my grandparents then it was off to Europe at the age of six. Sailed on the Michaelangelo to Spain. Traversed the euro scene, then lived on the island of Ibiza for a year or so. Back to the good ole US of A where I settled in a little town called Woods Hole MA. Lived in a Norman Rockwell painting for several years with no parental supervision...Please Someone...Invent a time machine...Attended school in a four room school house...Ran amok (Sorry for the walk down memory lane.) Then back to California. Settled Berkeley. Became very "hip". Played in many bands, traveled the globe, smoked pot, quit, did business here and in Europe, fell in love, fell outta love, Developed great friendships along the way which I still maintain to this very day. (Did I mention that I like poetry?) Became a Contractor quite by accident. Studied various subjects of interest. Had three great dogs, all Geman Shepherds. (You can tell alot about a person by their pets, by the way.) I apologize, I have run out of room to write..I have not yet begun to write!Okay Ladies, If you are still with me after the preceeding harangue...I commend you! Once again I shall try to be very descriptive and to the point. I am searching for the woman of my dreams. ( Note the use of the singular subject of the sentence.) This woman should be beautiful, smart, sexy, funny, fun, spontaneous, brave, tough, (Able to put up with me.) enlightened, spiritual, sober, psycologically sound, healthy, monogamous, really cool, (Able to put up with me.) very loving and supportive in actions and words. A team player. Most of all this woman and I have to "Click". There must be INTENSE passion, love, respect, and chemistry between us both physical and psycological. We must have a unity of vision for our life together. (Once again, please note the use of the singular noun.) She must be willing to work with me to achieve the dreams that we create together. Please, if we communicate, be ready to actually meet in person. I do not wish to live in the land of make believe. Drop the mouse and get out of the house!(TM) You can't tell if there is any chemistry between two people through a computer, or even on the phone, for that matter. If you are a beautiful, intelligent and successful woman who finds that men are intimidated by you, please drop me note. Note: I have a wonderful son, to whom I intend to be a great dad. He lives in the Bay Area. If you are from another State or Country great, but I will be located here for the next ten years minimum.
