Well just a friendly warning of the upcoming flames, jokes, comments on your penissize and/or it's gay'ness.

By the looks of it, you haven't met great people if you can't tell anything, "great" about them.

What was great about them? How did they help you? What did they do?

Also, you basicly haven't told anything about YOU. If you want people to approach YOU, you don't want to talk about others and about the "bookworm" side of you.

go personal, go into hobbies, go into what makes you... you.

More the reason to keep it more personal, if you indeed want people to be more familiar with you and approach you more easily.

Something like, err...hi, i'm tris, i study this and that, i'm like this and that, i like to do this and that and usually i hang out at here and there.

lol. according to the women i submitted it to its great :sex:

Heh yeah, thought(seriously) that it would be a good way to go. Most people who write intros like that go too wide and technical. And people honestly, they just don't give a f*ck :D
