OkCupid thread, anyone?

I was thinking that those of us that aren't shy could share our OkCupid profiles for critique from people who know better. (Not that we have to accept the critiques as valid, but this is an area where it'd be good to have others' opinions anyway.)

If anyone wants to get the ball rolling, post a link to your profile and hopefully someone will offer a suggestion (or a compliment).

Also, I bet cross-sexual-preference critique would be best: which for most of us means gals critiquing guys and guys critiquing gals. But I realize the LW gender skew limits that.

I'll join in the fun - any suggestions appreciated.

My profile is currently limited to OKC users, though. I wish there were more LW ladies in SoCal who were easier to find...

I love books. I have enough to fill two 5x5 Ikea Expedit bookcases - unfortunately I have only one to hold them. I'll leave my favorites as a surprise.

I don't recommend leaving this as a surprise. The question it prompts is "Why? What's wrong with his taste in books? Is he embarrassed or something?" And while these questions might go into a message to you from the girl of your dreams, they might also send her scurrying away.

I tried something different and added a link to this section. Any comments on how that works?

This is better.
