Went on a hiking date today with someone I met on match.com. We had a lovely time.
Apparently, I absolutely suck at marketing myself. From a post-hike email:
"For what it's worth, you come across completely differently in person than in your profile (maybe everybody does), and I like the real you better than the profile you."
So how does one make a self portrait in words more accurate? I have no idea. Well, I have one idea - he suggested I tone down the "geekiness" of my profile. Okay, vote for one of these openers, or even better, make a suggestion, or even better, write my whole profile for me:
a. "I'm apparently incapable of writing a profile describing myself reasonably accurately. So here are a bunch of actual quotes in response to me or my profile: 'no b.s.' 'I like the real you better than the profile you.' 'wow - you are MUCH better in person' 'I was going to write but I didn't know what to say because your profile was so intimidating' ..."
b. "Relaxed. Goofy. Sincere. Loving. Centered. ..."
c. "Uptight. Stressed. Flash point. Intense. Inappropriate. ..."
d. "Top ten reasons NOT to date me: ..." (an actual suggestion I received)
e. "Seeking smart, responsible, foolhardy, loving, cuddly ..."

I'm glad that he preffered the 'actual you'...it's a much better problem than being worse than your profile. Maybe you should make it a multiple choice. Pick which Naomi you'd like A, B, C, or D...
