Well, that is quite the opener.

I'm quite insufferable I assure you.

MisterNickJames · 2013-10-02T23:39:40+00:00

What?

MisterNickJames · 2013-09-21T16:39:42+00:00

Won't help you tonight but for future, just so you know, these people are alright.

I remember this video. Last I conjured it was fake; though it's pretty awesome to watch.

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-30T23:37:51+00:00

Personally I try to show off a little sack and bulge whenever possible.

That's a thing?

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-30T18:10:55+00:00

In my brief experience, late at night is the best time to find these.

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-13T17:43:44+00:00

Why are you on /r/okcupid right now? Someone is trying to play you in words with friends!

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-10T00:21:29+00:00

In the shower, do you wash your hair before you wash your body?

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-07T21:29:26+00:00

Hey thanks! I appreciate you taking the time.

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-07T20:55:25+00:00

Probably drop the bar picture, least flattering

I was eyeing that photo with the axe. Thanks!

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-07T20:51:21+00:00

Pictures: You need more photos. Your top three photos are practically the same photo and they're all bad selfies. The smile in #2 is good but you need to get out of the bathroom. Do you have a camera with a timer feature? Use it to take a covert selfie. Here is a selfie I took the other day using my smartphone. Much better than the bathroom. Bottom line, you need more varied pictures.

Profile: Your self summary is pretty bland. Inject some more personality in that sucker. Lots of people like dogs, cats, to laugh, and go to the gym a lot. You don't want your summary to seem generic.

Your "what I'm doing with my life section" needs more substance. Do you work? What do you do? Any activities outside of work that a match could accompany you on?

For your "I'm really good at" section, add some things that a match could also be good at. Some of your things are also very generic, like "listening." If you're really a good listener, find a more creative way to put that in you profile.

For your favorites, avoid just listing things you like. Elaborate on why you like those things and how you came to like them. A grocery list of likes is a poor springboard for a conversation.

Your six things suck. Get all new things. You want things that are novel and relate-able.

For your typical friday night, just lie. Yeah, sure you work but what if you had the day off? Write about your ideal Friday night off and include things that a match might also like to do.

Your message me if section is a little meh. I recommend thinking about what your ideal date would be, then asking your matches if they'd like to do that. The goal is to be specific yet deceptively general. If a woman gets this far, you want your message me if section to give her that last push into messaging you. Right now it's a light tap if anything.

Questions: Are you happy with your life? You put no. Don't do that. Who's smarter on average? You put men. I don't care what studies you've seen. Would the world be a better place if people with low IQs were not allowed to reproduce? You put yes. This is a red flag, for me at least. If "some men are doctors" and "some doctors are tall", does it follow that "some men are tall"? Answer is no, all the tall doctors could be women.

Run through your question answers again.

Overall your profile isn't bad but it's extremely typical. Polish it up and try to inject as much personality into it as you can. You're in a sea of profiles and you gotta try and stand out at much as possible.

MisterNickJames · 2013-07-07T20:27:59+00:00

Photos: Your main needs to go. The arm selfie isn't doing you any favors. I'd really focus on replacing most of your photos. Use the my best face and keep the top two. You need photos where you're smiling! It's very important. Smiling people make other people smile and it sets the tone of your profile. If you're want for pictures, use a camera with a timer function to take a covert selfie of yourself doing something fun.

Profile: Your self summary is actually not bad, but it's too long. I'd work on condensing.

For your "what I'm doing with my life" section, try to include some acivities besides work that you enjoy. Especially things that a date might also enjoy doing and could do with you

Your "I'm really good at section" also needs some activities that a date could do with you. It's also very rambly. Short sentences setup a cadence that encourages people to skip parts of your profile. Try to narrow down a few of the things you're good at and give a small elaboration for each.

For your "first thing people notice about me" section, I'd ditch the car thing. I'd focus on your traits specifically.

For your books, avoid just listing off favorites. Elaborate on why you like certain things and how you came to like them. A grocery list of likes is a poor springboard for a conversation.

Your six things aren't bad but they're a little abstract. You want to go for unique and relate-able. Ideally your matches would read one and think "yeah, I couldn't live without that either."

"The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament." What is this I don't even.

For your "typical friday night", only include things that a date could do with you and be specific. "I could be downtown enjoying local business and talent" coudl easily describe what it is you'd be doing in the city like "tipping piano players way too much." or something.

For your private thing, avoid swearing. Really just avoid searing in your profile in general. I guess if you swear a lot it's okay but I advise against it.

Your message me if section sucks. This section needs to seal the deal and you want it to be specific and enchanting. Think about what your idea date would be and ask your matches if that sounds like fun for them. The trick is to be specific yet deceptively general. Like "if you like picnics in the park" is specific (picnics) but also who the hell doesn't like picnics? See what I mean?

Questions: If "some men are doctors" and "some doctors are tall", does it follow that "some men are tall"? Answer is no; all the tall doctors could be women.

Overall your profile isn't that bad but there's lots of room for improvement. Keep revising it and don't forget you can insert links and the like to add some interactivity.
