Another Profile in Trouble

I'm not sure actually why my reply % is so much worse than it used to be, but I wanted to know if you guys could pinpoint a fatal flaw/room for improvement in my OKC/Match/PoF profile. I used to have something much worse with a worse picture, yet I always had more replies. I get that it should be a little less serious. Thanks.

I'm enjoying my life and looking for people to enjoy it with. I'm a zealot for life; I'm highly confident, sharp as my tv, and funny enough to make you actually laugh out loud instead of using the initialism. I'm a snazzy dresser, I like semicolons and to start sentences with "And", and I have been known to use archaic means of communication like AIM. I like science and fashion.

I'm a hold-the-door-open-for-a-girl kind of guy, unless you expect it from me or take it for granted. Then you can let yourself out. I'm not the kind of guy you drag around the mall that sits by dressing room after dressing room waiting with other girls' boyfriends. I'm either flirting with you through the curtain or seeing what's new at Express Men's.

I have a lot of big things going on right now. I'm majoring in Electrical Engineering (Actually, it took me about 20 minutes to write that line as I had my head in a physics lab write-up). And I'm looking for a related internship. How will I find the time, I know!

I also have a lot of little things. I just paid for 10 dance classes; I'm thinking about starting with Salsa on Friday. And then I've been planning a Vegas trip for Halloween / my 21st. Pretty excited about that.

I'm dealing with the guilt of neutering my cat. He just wanted to do bad things to his sister? Can't have little inbred kitties cluttering the apartment though!

I like reading OKTrends statistics on successful profiles/messages and not changing anything I do on this site.

I really like when people with non-Americans do an American accent and it fools me.

I really like the Vegas tourism commercial floating around on Hulu.

I have a thing for girls with very contrasting features, dark hair, light skin, and freckles.

I'm looking for someone that can verbally spar with me like the best of them, mixes up her "your" and "you're"s but promptly feels embarrassed and corrects it, and recognizes that she'll come into my life at the bottom of my priority list and have to work her way up.

I'm super ambitious and I expect the company I keep to be the same way. You either need to be in school or actively pursuing your career. Science majors get bonus points.

1. Women don't like "men-children". So what attractions were you flipping before as opposed to now. Those improvements you made to your profile may in fact made you less attractive and more "gamey".

2. Also, a woman's "Value" refers to how desirable she thinks she is to the opposite gender. Suddenly you have ugly chicks that go from 6's to 11's. Their standard goes up and so does your margin of error. So tread with care.

3. Sense of humor is important. You can also bait them.

I don't know what you look like. But you can show a lot of whom you are.

- Show that you're a "snazzy dresser".
- Show your confidence.
- Show that you're enjoying your life.
- "Laugh out loud instead of the initialism" - huh?
- "have been known to use archaic means of communication like AIM" - huh?
- "I like science and fashion" - put that in your interests.

Girls have really short attention spans. They'll thin-slice you from your photos. Then maybe they will read your bio.

Your bio is like a resume: aim to flip attraction switches that relate to you. Remove redundancies (anything that is shown in pictures, stated in bio, or interests).

This came to mind:

"I'm a hold-the-door-open-for-a-girl kind of guy, unless you're being a brat. Then I'll deduct you two points for being bad."

For some reason, this made me think of this:

Im a different kind of guy... Im different from all the other "different kind of guys".

My idea of a fun day doesn't include waiting outside a dressing room next to other guys. I may get bored and throw a pillow at you through the curtains.

You write "a lot of big things" then write "electrical engineering"? That's not fun.

"Salsa" is a big thing. That's not little. That's fun.

Just put "I can't tell you how I excited I am about Vegas this Fall! My excitement meter broke when the dial started going up to 11."

LOL.

Boring.

"I like girls that are different from me." + write non-physical things you like in a woman. Not too much. You want to have standards, but you also don't want to limit your options.
