Is it weird that I find this intimidating? I mean, if you are serious about finding someone then this little block of text could be responsible for instigating initial contact. Can I handle that kind of pressure? I'm not sure that I can. As things stand my profile may appear in searches amongst a sea of other guys all looking for 'The One', or possibly 'The Next One'. So if by some miracle my headline or profile picture entices someone to take a closer look then my insane ramblings here, their sole purpose is to leave you with the overwhelming urge to send me a message and to get to know me better. Now that is pressure!

My aim is to find 'The One' and I have decided to do this by being completely honest. What is the point in me pretending to be someone I'm not? It will surly lead to disappointment down the line.

Right, so now the important stuff, the stuff about me.

I'm a thirty year old single male, 6.2" with brown hair and brown eyes and I'm carrying more weight than I would like, but I can't seem to muster the enthusiasm to do anything about it. I am constantly trying to give up smoking but fail at this miserably. The pull of nicotine seems to be stronger than any semblance of will power I own. I drink now and then, not because I like the taste, but more because it's great at getting you drunk. I work from pay day to pay day and have nothing to show for it, not even a proverbial pot to urinate in. I'm partially educated, certainly not well enough for the job I do. Punching above my weight springs to mind, but somehow I muddle through. I'm shy, insecure and am not able to hold a particularly interesting conversation. I can only look on as a persons eyes glaze over as they stifle their yawns. I am ridiculously lazy and find even the simplest chore, a chore. I'm far too sensitive for my own good. I probably snore. I don't shave every day. I have a habit of expecting the worst. When I look at the lives of others I find a sense of jealousy creep over me. I didn't visit the dentist for twelve years because I was scared. I hate flying. I own books that I have never read. I own a Wii Fit, that has been used once. My attention span is far too short. I hate crowds and I can be socially awkward.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not going for the pity vote and I do have plenty of positive attributes. I guess now that you know the vast majority of my negatives there are only the positives to learn about.

If by any miracle you are intrigued to know me better then feel free to drop me an email so it can rattle around my empty inbox.

*Remove tongue from cheek*



*****A good friend of mine read my profile and told me that I should change it. They tinkered with my text and below is their interpretation. So now you get to see another trait of mine, stubbornness. I wouldn't replace my text for hers ;)*****



I find this quite intimidating. I mean, if you are serious about finding someone, then this little block of text could be responsible for instigating initial contact, and amongst a sea of other guys all looking for ‘the one’, or possibly ‘the next one’.. pressure!

My aim is to find ‘the one’. I have decided to approach this by being completely honest, as there is no point in pretending to be someone I’m not.

So… I’m a thirty year old single male, 6ft2” with brown hair and brown eyes. I’m carrying more weight that I would like, but like many I have struggled to maintain the necessary long-term lifestyle changes.

I admit that I am an occasional smoker. I have managed to cut right down following several attempts to quit completely. I find that being on my own has been one of the causes of my motivational slump.

I enjoy a drink every now and again and prefer a more intimate evening down the pub, a meal out, or a relaxing evening at home or with friends, more than crazy nights out on the town. I would like to find somebody to share the good times with.

I work as a Support Analyst for a software company. It’s not the most amazing job, but it pays enough to get me by. I enjoy the atmosphere and am more the office joker than the serious IT worker!

Despite being a happy go lucky person, I can be shy and quite insecure. I am sensitive, but also very affectionate and loyal.

Most of my friends are settled down in relationships and although I am of course happy, I do feel a slight element of jealousy, as I long to find someone with which to share such experiences with
