I tried to write it without thinking too much to make it as natural as possible. Please critique as harsh as you want :) any help is appreciated!

My self-summary

Well... it's always difficult to summarize yourself on these after all the experiences and people that have shaped you.

I love people and I love that feeling of making a real connection with someone. That's what I want on here so if message me and we'll see what happens :)

I don't believe in being agreeable for the sake of it, I also try not to filter my thoughts so will normally say what I'm thinking.

Best traits are that I am honest, reliable and adaptable.
Bad traits are that I am impatient and quite restless.

I'm also a bit of a dreamer and those childhood dreams everyone has seem to have stayed with me strongly.

Maybe if you get to know me you can summarize me!

What I'm doing with my life

I studied psychology at University so I'm working in banking now! This is just a stop-off until I get break into the music industry. Psychology/banking/music - I might seem like I lack direction! It just took me a while to figure out music is what I love :)

I'm really good at

I am really good at stuff I'm not that into lol! Like sports, I used to play squash for Northern Ireland and can pick up sports quickly. I have became quite good at music though had no natural affinity to it. I play piano mainly, but also play guitar, piano and bass.

The first things people notice about me

My huge biceps, they are always getting in the way!... Nah I don't know what they notice!

The six things I could never do without

Food
Water
Oxygen
Shelter
Friends
Heat

I spend a lot of time thinking about

If there's life on other planets
Will they ever invent fat-free chocolate cake
When I see a colour and you see a colour, are we actually seeing the same colour!?

You should message me if

You are a fun girl with a good sense of humor.
You think we might hit it off
Curiosity
Insanity
The "voices" told you to!
Because you want to?[/b][/u]

Disclaimer: I am not any sort of guru of online dating.

My self-summary

I have so much going on in my life that a summary won't quite cut it.
I am a free spirit, restless, always on the look for new experiences, for a deeper sense of connection.

What I'm doing with my life

I pretend to be a bank employee. With a major in psych and magic hands (for music!) this is, most obviously, just a cover. But it seems to get the bills paid.

I'm really good at

I have magic hands. I play the piano, the guitar and the bass. My guitar purrs like a kitten every time my fingers run all over it.

The first things people notice about me

My silliness. I guess I am still a bit of a child at heart.

The six things I could never do without

whatever, including nothing.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

exploring the universe looking for life
how perception is subjective and intimate

You should message me if

You are funny, no drama, and want to join me in the quest for extraterrestrial life.

Use some DHV photos (yourself at events, having fun, with people, girls, ..)
add some more stuff along those lines. maybe something unusual that you like to do, or some totally made-up implausible hobby (e.g. I like to collect straws to build an actual size replica of the Eiffel Tower in my backyard).. and work on your opener.

That's gold! I love it and I've altered my profile. I can see the difference in that its a lot more playful and interesting but still saying what I wanted to say!

Thanks!!

Let's face it, attraction is important. The reason you put up a picture in the first place is to "attract" someone to your profile. Those daters that don't post a picture are sending out some very counter-productive vibes. No picture usually means the person can't work a camera, or worse, they have something to hide. Craig's List is swamped with posters posting messages without a picture, because they know they're hiding something. Don't do that on a real dating site. Especially one you're paying for. More often than not, not having a profile picture can also signify you're already in a relationship and/or married, looking for something on the side. I've, unfortunately, met my fair share of women who claim they're "divorced" but actually only "separated" and they still live in the same house as their "ex".

My biggest beef with people's profiles is that they upload their four or five "favorite" pictures from a decade ago. Relationships are based on a foundation of trust. If you show up on that initial "meet and greet" looking nothing like your profile pictures, that trust is gone before it can even begin. It's common knowledge that people fudge a little here and a little there...women usually subtract 5 years from their age while men routinely add 3 inches to their height. But once you finally meet the person you've been emailing and texting and chatting with on the phone, and they look nothing like their pictures, you feel cheated and bamboozled. Not a great start.

Most of us would rather see what you look like running an errand today rather than what you looked like that night you dressed up with friends and snapped a picture at that perfect angle five years ago. That's not being shallow; that's being a realist.

Don't even get me started on how I feel about generic aliases...
