I've only been registered with OK Cupid site for a couple of weeks but already I've had one date. I'm getting a lot of views to my profile but not so many messages so I'm hoping for some help with my profile:


My self-summary

No! Don’t Click

Absolutely an acquired taste and definitely not for everyone. However, if you have the mind and sensibilities, I can't recommend me enough. I will push you, provoke you and take you somewhere you have never been before.

I'm a very passionate person when it comes to the things that excite, thrill and interest me the most. Similarly, I enjoy spending time with other people that have a passion for something - not necessarily a shared interest.

I don't live in the past, thinking about mistakes or changes I've made. I think of my life as a book, moving forward, closing one chapter and opening another. I learn from my mistakes, but focus on my future, not on my past.

What I’m doing with my life

Problem solving and playing with numbers is how I earn my living. In my spare time I'm working on my own short film project, learning to edit and write a script. I enjoy cross country and long distance running and I'm training for another marathon. Also managing my own independent record label.

Scratching the backpacking itch as often as I can whilst staying gainfully employed. Tokyo, Rio and Havana are three of my favourite places that I've visited. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

I enjoy spending hours wandering around art galleries and photography exhibitions, searching for design inspiration for my own projects. I think they have a dreamy, hallucinogenic quality that always entrance me and leaving me feeling relaxed.

I like to remember one day my life will flash before my eyes. I want to make sure its worth watching.

I’m really good at

Watching, talking and reading about movies. Exploring far flung places and meeting new people. Vinyl disc integration.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes and then my London accent.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

I tend to be attracted to the weird and wonderful...

Movies - Blue Velvet, Cinema Paradiso, Videodrome, Enter The Void, Bad Lieutenant, Bladerunner, Studio Ghibli anime. Anything by David Lynch, Guillermo Del Torro, Dario Argento, Alan Clarke or Mike Leigh.

TV - I don't have a TV that works and usually don't have time to waste watching it anyway but I like Twin Peaks, The Sopranos, Peep Show and Come Dine With Me

Music - Acid, House, Techno, Punk

I spent a lot of my youth listening to electronic music but now I'm much more inclined to go to a gig and watch a band.

Books - Iain Banks, Martin Amis, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk

I've read a fair bit about NLP and hypnosis, Richard Bandler and Milton Erickson being two of my preferred scholars.

Food - Japanese, especially Sushi. I will eat it with a fox. I will eat it in a box. I will eat it in a house. I will eat it with a mouse. I will eat it here or there. I will eat sushi anywhere. Othwerwise home cooking is great fun.

The six things I could never do without

running shoes
record collection
passport
my independance
stimulating conversation
green tea

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Flying back out to Rio, getting lost in a favela party, playing football in the street with the local kids, strolling along Copacabana beach, lying back underneath the hot sunshine whilst feasting away on a frozen Acai berry desert.

Also, things you might not understand or couldn't comprehend.

On a typical Friday night I am

At my local independent cinema watching something arthouse/trashy/sleazy/quirky but most importantly thought provoking and definitely not some hollywood rubbish. Hanging out with friends. Or possibly making some delicious food for a quiet date at home (if she's lucky!).

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

Confession is always weakness.

You should message me if

I have messaged you - manners cost nothing young lady!

OR

You are spontaneous and curious about the world around you. You have ambition and seek adventure. You have similar interests, but can show me something new. You like going for late night walks underneath the stars.

You have a little twinkle in your eye that betrays a hint of naughtiness.

The rest is negotiable.

would be good to hear some comments.

i had a look at some other profiles and quite frankly i'm shocked that some men believe they'll get any kind of response with the stuff they've written.

anyone??

Well I think it is good, you've obviously put a lot of effort into it. Women dig that stuff, well done man. I could never think of that many things to say about myself, I found it quite inspiring!

My only amateur criticism would be that you sound a bit cocky when talking about 'things you think about'. "I think about things you can't even comprehend", whilst probably true , makes you sound like a bit of a dick(sorry, just my thoughts).

Other than that it was very good.

ok mate, yeah i thought the same but then i'vd read some other PUA profiles with comments and they seem to endorse these types of statements.
