Your profile is hilarious. It reminds me of this. Which is to say, it's sort of hard to take seriously. If the only thing you can think of to cut out of there to be less over-the-top is your income, then I guess leave income out, but I think you'd be better off putting income in and pruning a few of the paragraphs/sentences that you feel are less core to your personality from the text.

Revised.

When people leave the salary field blank, I wonder why. I am suspicious of people who want me to operate with less information, especially in a context where I can't confirm that this is because of their extensive knowledge of human biases.

I leave the salary field blank because I was told that "$250,000-$500,000" seemed obnoxious, and that I should instead signal my income with the words "comfortably successful" in my profile, with a full reveal later. I'm not sure that that's good advice; what do others think?

Of course, my profile might be obnoxious anyway. You tell me: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/TalkingHead68
