So.. I made an OkCupid profile...

thought i would never get to this point. mainly because i'm still in college, fairly young, attractive and smart. however, for whatever reasons, most of the girls i interact with just don't like me like that

so i made an OkC profile about 2 months ago, and have had minimal success. the girls that I HAVE connected with are either: bat-shit insane, or live in Denver

my question to you all is this. what is wrong with my profile? i just edited the "about me" part because it seemed too long.. this was what i had before:

"I would hate to bore you to tears by telling you how wonderful I am; by attaching to my name a litany of flattering adjectives. I am sure that you have already seen this about a thousand times in all the other guys' profiles. I am not like them, and don't want to be.

I'm a firm believer in the fact that words are cheap and usually empty, but most actions speak much louder. So let's start with the bad stuff – I am impulsive/restless at times, I drank a beer once and it was delicious, I can be very quiet/reserved around those I haven't gotten to know and trust.. but I'm working on opening up to everybody!, I have the mouth of a sailor when I drink, and stay up far too late far too often.

Defender of chivalry. Dinosaur enthusiast. Coffee tea and beer snob. Music junkie. Red Rocks inhabitant. Chemistry lab rat. Engineering anomaly. Fluent in sarcasm. Big City Burrito regular. Opulent optimistic.

I have little patience for flakes and vapid people – those who smile while being angry on the inside, as I never know what is up their sleeve waiting to escape. How about you? What annoyed you today? And what made you weak in your knees from joy and pleasure? Pie or cake? Left or right?

How about you?
You are curious about the world around you. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that sarcasm is a spice of life. You can spell, and are generally happy. You like to be outside and admire the sunshine, the stars, the grass and everything in between. You are a hopeless romantic. You see beauty in the little things life throws at us. The rest is negotiable.


If you're not interested in even having a conversation, please just tell me after I message you. It'd be a lot easier ;)"


in retrospect, that was probably a good idea, less is more i guess..

here's my profile meow, i guess i'd just like some feedback on making myself seem "better" even though i know i'm a catch

OkCupid | ThatEngineer / 21 / M / Fort Collins, Colorado


and before you say i have too many pictures with girls.. i can't help it. they're the ones who take pictures

id bang you illadelphin

id bang you illadelphin

ego boost x3

i'd smoke you up and down pigpen03

Brah, as one who knows you IRL there is no shame in finding a lady online. Don't think that . Anyways I keep my profile short and sweet, as for what to change exactly I couldn't really help... You sound too busy for real 'love' though.

I love you.

word i'm working on condensing it, but i just can't

and if i did find true "love" i'd find time to let it flourish.

You seem fairly smart, dude. Keep at it. I found my soulmate almost 3 months ago on Ok Cupid and we've been living together for about 2 months now. She's amazing.

It takes some time though, dude.

You'll find her eventually. But I will say it works.

I love the one part; Drugs-never

Dude, okcupid's great. No need to be ashamed at all. I'm 23 and have one as well. I've met some cool people on it...even met a new smoking buddy. I think your profile looks fine...I don't know why you're having bad luck. I'm sure it'll turn around though.

But hey, you and I are a 91% match. Lemme get those digits

see the problem is i message all these girls only if i feel like we'd have a connection and/or i fit into their "message me if..." category

yet i RARELY get a response feels bad, man.

drugs? what are those?!

Yeah, that can be a bit of a blow to the ego, but you've just got to take it for what it is. There are a lot of reasons a person may not respond. It doesn't neccessarily mean that they're not interested.

fuk illy if u get laid from this ill make my own. i have fallen for 3 girls in my life, but i dont feel im a stable enough individual to really commit to a real relationship yet. it wouldnt be fair to those girls, even if they did dig me back.

forever alone

I have nothing constructive to add, other than that we have very similar tastes and best of luck.

i feel you dude, i'm not a one night stand kind of dude. i've been in 5 relationships, and have had sex with those 5 women.

it's easy for me to commit, i'm a lover. if i knew what it is i've been doing wrong, i'd fix it. ohhhh wellllll, we've got hands, right?

it sucks man but really, it could be a lot worse.

Replace 'full figured' with 'average.'

It might be a joke, but from the main picture one can't tell if you actually are full figured or not and some people will just assume you aren't kidding, won't be interested, won't look at the rest of your pics.

word dude, thanks for the input

Hey buddy if it makes you feel any better I've sent every chick I find moderately hot a message and I've only gotten responses from mostly ugly ones lol. The one asian is the only decent one that really responded to me.
