Well the previous comment said more storytelling so I attempt more storytelling and get trolled.

Whenever you write a story and it fits with this song, it's too much. keep it simple, man. Or don't really up to you and what you're looking for in online dating.

It's a bunch of "I did this, I did that" statements, not so much a story. It comes across contrived. Perhaps try a sentence or two that brings up an interesting experience you had on a vacation that leaves some mystery. I wrote in my profile about a time I escaped the German mafia in Charlottenburg or cranked out a rendition of Rocketman with a drag queen band at 3am in West Kreuzberg got more than a few inquiries (non-vacation-related, winning a year's supply of ice cream on two separate occasions got the most hits).

Yeah, the golfer line is terrible, I don't think chicks dig golfers!
Rest of if is not funny and not interesting.

There really isn't anything about yourself, your likes or dislikes.
I'm not saying there needs to be but the stream of concussions stuff there is just rambling.

How do you guys feel about lists... what I like doing, what I like in a partner?
Mine is kin of a list based on what I'd be willing to do for a girl in a relationship and it get's a lot of compliments. I haven't opened anybody in ages as I get opened a lot and it's mostly based on this profile.

MyPoorLil5850s, I don't think it's that awful. Get rid of the "I saw, every night, groups of college ages kids drunkenly wandering the streets singing, without a care in the world" line though. It seems random and unimportant.

E.g.,

Quote:

First off im a Navy Seal and MY COUNTRY comes before the Pussy. So If you dont salute the Flag every day you wont be saluting my Cock any day. dropped out of hs but USA = number 1 is the only math i need. did three tours in afganistan and antartica and egypt and have a body count of 500. once watched ten episodes of the simpsons in a day.

It's like, that undercuts the strength of what comes before.

Mrpoor - what site are you on? What demographic of girls are you looking for?

Right now that reads very generic. There's nothing about who you are as a person in there. What are you hobbies? What are your interests?

5850,

You write like a regular articulate person in your posts here. Write about what you like and what you've done in the same way.

Try just writing a post here to tell us about yourself, what you like, and a couple of things you've done that you enjoyed the most and think are really cool to talk about, are proud of, etc.

sadly there are people like this in the world,
their wives are usually freeky slappers after a few years of putting up with such pretentiousness.

And I'm not saying I do.

I haven't, but I "knew" some that are/were.

Get this, one is freaking out on Facebook about it.
Social media is getting out of hand.

Coming up this weekend is the 1 year anniversary of having met my GF off of Tinder (longest relationship for me). Already made plans for us to mark the occasion, but I'm just unsure if a card is needed as well?

Obvious safe play is to just get a card, but was curious what the general custom is when it comes to celebrating these relationship milestones?

Thanks.

The above advice about not getting a card is horrible. YOU ALWAYS GET A CARD BRO! And don't just sign your name either actually put thought into writing something inside. Girl will always appreciate a card, they save **** like that in a box.
