Alright so this is what I'm thinking of putting up for an OKcupid profile, and I'd appreciate some feedback before I stick it up there... I'm gonna type the whole thing out here and format it myself so it's easier for you guys... hopefully.
This whole thing is based on a NLP routine/game I made up myself, which I will post later in the NLP thread and then link to for critique as well... It's all based on binary, but hopefully the girls won't be savvy to my geekiness just from the #'s being used.
Maybe the whole game thing as a profile is a bad idea... and I can deal w/ that, I was just trying to come up with something unique...
My Self-Summary:
Hey gals, I'm sure I'm about guy #346 who's profile you have to go through, so instead of telling you my life story and boring you to death... let's play a game! It's sort of like a personality test (sort of) so go get a pencil and piece of paper.
Ah, do it! Go get them...
K, good. Now the way this works is like a game show. You get one point just for getting the paper and pen the first time I asked you, and each subsequent question will be worth twice as many points as the test or question before it. So now that you know how this works, we can get started. Remember, you start with 1 point just for getting ready.
First question: If you'd rather spend the day at the zoo than the library or home 2 points.
What I'm doing with my life:
One of the first things people find out about me is that I own my own company, and it's my life dream to make it take off and keep it going. I love what I do and I'm really passionate about it. Now just because, add 4 points if you DON'T know what you want to do with your life yet.
I'm really good at:
Alright, well I'm also a musician, I play quite a bit on my guitar every day, some of my favorite songs to play are by the goo goo dolls and Lifehouse, though I do learn other songs. I'm currently working on a song by three doors down. Music is something I'm really passionate about, and I think it would be awesome to have a partner that's really into it as well. If you play some other instrument or even fancy yourself a singer, I'd really love to get together and just jam if nothing else.
If you've ever performed for someone else, whether it's just one person or a group, 8 points for you.
Alright now take this worth a grain of salt because I haven't picked up a game seriously in months, but I consider myself a gamer. I do enjoy the occasional video game or board game, but it's something I like to share so if you're a gamer yourself, 16 points.
The first thing people usually notice about me
My dimples... they're like giant craters in the side of my face when I smile... No you can't touch them. But 32 points for wanting to
favorite books, movies, music and food
Alright well I already went over music so that leaves books movies and food.
Food is really hard, because my favorite thing to do is try something new all the time. I love finding hole in the wall restaurants and shops around town and trying new things. I think I know at least one super secret place that has amazing food for at least every major culture... 64 points if you love trying new restaurants too.
My favorite books are definitely some of R.A. Salvitore's books, he's got a few really good ones that are pretty decent.
My favorite movie... hm. The X-men movies were pretty sweet... but then SPAM was really good to... and then the spider man movies... ah screw it. I love all the movies that are about my childhood comic book characters is what it comes down to. They're all super cool
The six things I could never do without:
My cat, Zelda.
Tuna flavored cat sedatives. (A guys gotta sleep you know!)
[[Guitar]], I love the way it sounds, and is a fun way to relax.
Google. Between me and google, there's nothing I can't figure out.
Q-Tips. Seriously.
People who go way over the speed limit, exposing the cops ahead of me. Thanks guys.
The most private thing you're willing to admit here
In an alternate dimension, there might be a version of me that likes 50 first dates and other chick flicks, and is tender, caring and sweet. But really, I'm pretty sure in that alternate reality, I'm also gay so don't get your hopes up of us ever switching and it working out for you.
If you continue to hold out hope, then 128 points for you
You should message me if:
Alright, so if you've gotten all the way to the bottom, and been keeping score, then send me a message with how many points you got in the subject
This'll A show me you're putting in as much effort into your first message as I would, and B give me the chance to take a stab at what questions you answered which way, and what it means about you as a person
