Bet she has her way with Nate and then clings worse then paris hilton on the last male chicken on a deserted island.

Ok she was a nice girl, don't think we had a lot in common though. Told her how until I receive her cv I'm not sure I could offer her a place in my Olympic Team. Job done.

JOKES! I said it in a nice way

I might change my instrument to bongo drums, to keep it fresh.

So I've taken your advice and tried out the eHarmony site. It's a ball ache to set up, loads of questions and I couldn't find a place to put in my awesome intro. They're having a free messaging weekend and I received a message from Amy listing 5 pre made by the website questions with a, b, c , d answers. I answered her ones and sent her some of my own, to which she has now replied and I list them for your review(with spoilers as to my own views):

Questions said:
1. Which of the following indoor activities sounds like the most fun to you?
A) Cooking
B) Shopping
C) Bowling
D) Watching a video
Now this is not the worst answer she could have given here, but it isn't my first choice. She likes watching videos and thinks it is fun and I agree videos are fun. But what would happen if when we're watching videos I suddenly have a grumbly feeling in my belly and require sustenance? She doesn't think cooking is fun. I would die of hunger at this point.
2. Your idea of adventure is:
A) Whitewater rafting
B) Karaoke singing
C) Trying a different route to work
D) Ordering a dish you've never tried before
This is probably the worst answer I could have asked for, I like my hearing and find karaoke offensive to my ears.
3. What kind of exercise do you prefer?
A) Walking
B) Running
C) Gym-workout
D) Extreme sports
Now lets say we're lost in the mountains and need to get away, walking isn't going to save us and she seems to have no experience in extreme sports incase we need to white water raft(see previous question) down a river to safety.
4. If you went out to eat with a friend, which of the following would you prefer?
A) A nice 4-star restaurant
B) A basic steakhouse
C) An undiscovered hideaway
D) A hole in the wall with great food

I quite like the sound of this, it's not expensive
5. If you could take a dream getaway, where would you most likely choose to spend a week?
A) Paris
B) Hawaii
C) Hiking in the mountains
D) A cottage by the sea
Ok she just ruined the answer to question 4 with one of the most expensive places to go on holiday.

Hmm, pondering on making a zombie survival nut profile who is looking for a partner to survive the zompocalypse and repopulate the earth. Not necessarily in that order.

So I'm back on this shizzle again and have changed my profile to hopefully be less aids filled Scouse

Hello trouble, my name's Dave. I'm a well travelled Lion Tamer and require a new assistant, my previous assistant..well lets not talk about that just yet. Currently working in Catering, it's a nice feeling to create something and see people enjoy it. Would like to do more travelling, Currently looking at the Trans-Siberian Railway, come join me!

I'm adventurous, athletic and a pet owner. I like bike riding, running and I've done some snowboarding in New Zealand, would love to do more. I also walk my two Jugs, Naughty and Noodle they are lovely little dogs and would like to meet you! I aspire to be a home owner with my own business eventually. I'm a happy person who enjoys making other people laugh and have a good time, what makes me unique is probably my sense of humour. I have a really varied taste in music, generally I don't pay attention to the politics/fashion, etc but instead if it's a good tune, I'll listen to it! One of my favourites is Kings of Leon.

I'm looking for a woman who is active, likes animals and wants to travel.

Sounds needy. Will reply properly when I get home...if I'm still awake

You say something like (can't see post whilst typing) my humour is unique...then fail to show how.

Absolutely one of the best posts I have read in a long fucking time on here, chuckling out loud in the office whilst reading it. Utter brilliance.

It's a work of genius, I have copy and pasted it to a few people who can't access here from work! :D

I'm a happy person who enjoys making other people laugh and have a good time, what makes me unique is probably my sense of humour. Funny people don't have to say how funny they are. The first bit is ok, but the "what makes me unique" bit has nothing to back it up. I have a really varied taste in music wow, like all the other billion people, generally I don't pay attention to the politics/fashion, etc but instead if it's a good tune, I'll listen to it!

I must of been born with it.

Cheers Bahu, I'm not sure I agree with all your points but handy nonetheless.

I think it all sounds too staged and fake. I know you want to sound funny etc but I think it gives the impression you are just doing this for a quick laugh and not serious about dating anyone.

Perhaps bahu suggestions will remedy that!

Can't believe I missed this thread and G's epic tales.

...anyway, my mum and step dad met via an agency back in the late 80s, still together now...

Anyway, if you are serious about it then you ought to be honest, the joke profile probably isn't the way to go really (imo) it comes across as trying to be whacky but in a Timmy Mallet kind of way.

Make a serious profile and scatter gun it a bit, you can vet the women just as much as they vet you. E-harmony looks like a good bet, I think at my age if I was single I would have no problem at all using something like that.

Ah ok great. Updated

I'm Currently working in Catering, it's a nice feeling to create something and see people enjoy it. Would like to do more travelling, the Trans-Siberian Railway looks exciting.

That's much better :) I can't think how, but it might be a good idea to put the part about walking the dogs straight after saying you own pets? Keeps it more fluid?

Grammar is not my forte, but maybe someone else can help?

What's good about the Siberian railway is how it gives the woman a hook to work with.
Writing to complete strangers is always hard, so those hook points give her something to work with.

Nate, be yourself. If that means making stupid lion tamer jokes then do so.

Your new one is boring, and very short. Why are you tailoring it to what people here think it should be?
