I am very hard working and don't have time for games or drama. I don't have any children, but if you do, that's fine with me. Between work and baseball I do not have a lot of free time, so I'm looking to spend quality time with someone. I'm looking for a serious relationship, not sex partners.
This is what I wrote in my "About me" On POF. OKcupid seems to have a more in depth personal profile than POF.
This needs to be fixed up to include more personality and emotion. E.G.,
Just moved to Tampa from NYC. (Include Sentence about something personal you love about Tampa, but still trying to find a place to find a decent slice of pizza [this gives the girl something to respond to from your profile]) I moved here to pursue my dream of playing professional baseball (include a personal sentence about why your passionate about baseball, and another one about freedom or taking the road less traveled or somehthing like that).
Traveling is my favorite past time. Most recently I visited ____. The _____ there is blew my mind! Also, if you haven't tried (exotic food) I highly recommend it.
The bane of my existence is the New York Mets. I often feel like I'm Charlie Brown and the Mets are Lucy holding the football. I'll say this though, Mets fans have waaaaay more character than Yankees fans! (again conversation starter for the girl as [I think at least] there are a lot of Yankees fans in Tampa)
My favorite stress relievers are going for a bike ride (along some place in Tampa) then hitting the weight room after.
Lose the lines about being new to Tampa and hating drama. After all no one likes drama and you already said more colorfully that you are new to Tampa. Replace lines with a sentence about TV, Movies, or a pop culture reference. Also here include something about your favorite book, and why you like it (again make it personal).
Change the line about children to,
Fun facts about me:
1) Pets and Kids universally love me.
2) (a very strong opinion about an unimportant subject. e.g. I believe sterofoam to be the worst substance ever created.
3) (an example of something your good at) e.g I can probably beat you a Words with Friends.
4) (A playful example of something your not good at) e.g. You probably have better handwriting than me or I'm incapable of pronouncing the names of IKEA furniture.
Lose the lines about sex partners, quality time, and how busy you are and replace them with what you find attractive.
e.g. I'm attracted to a girl who:
1) Can make me laugh.
2) Likes to explore and take day trips.
3) (insert something fun) e.g. Has quality taste in pajamas
Hope that helps.
