"show don't tell." you do a lot of telling. it makes your profile long. https://www.reddit.com/r/OkCupid/wiki/profilebasics
"Don't display everything.
In the first step, even though it's recommended to display your information accurately, it doesn't mean you have to display it ALL. Consider how much you really want to share. "
I recently overheard a girl saying that the guy she was dating would give her riddles to solve. Isn't that weird? I think it is. But if you DO like riddles, we'll get along well. Why? Read on, you'll figure it out :)
Tell a riddle instead, don't talk about other girls in your first sentence of the profile, even if she's dating someone
If I were at a talent show and there was a piano - this isn't hypothetical, it actually happened - I would sit at the piano and improvise a tune partly to show off and partly to shame other people with actual skill into playing. (I also like to write real songs, like with words and stuff, sometimes.)
This just sounds disjointed and difficult to read. Perhaps something like: "I'm the type to take initiative if no one else is. At a talent show I attended, a tuned piano sat silent, so I plopped myself down and made up a song on the spot. I enjoy writing full songs too, but this was a fun little impromptu tune..." etc.
consider putting these tid-bits in the what you're doing with your life section: Last year I was president of the secular student group at university and started a meetup at the same time solely to meet the sort of people I was interested in meeting. (i suppose it would mostly make sense to only put this in the what you're doing with your life section if you are still active in the meetups)
I've played literally hundreds of hours of bullet chess: usually with 30 seconds per side for the whole game. You could say I play too much. You would be right. i'd lump this with the tennis thing
I got training at a really good programming "bootcamp", which means I can kill my computer in 700 ways, and that's just with my pinkies. For serious, though, I was going through some stuff (life happens at the worst times) and lost my will/focus for awhile - Happy to report I'm all better, and I'm currently rekindling these skills by assisting with my friend's nonprofit project a few evenings a week after work. another thing for the what i'm doing with my life section. Remove the depressing bit. you can bring this up later when you're sharing deep dark secrets with someone you've been dating for a while. goes back up to rule 2 at the top.
The last couple of months I've tried a few new activities, but only one has made me feel alive every minute I do it: Tennis. Major brownie points if you play.
Oh and by the way, I'm Batman. Four truths and a lie. That's how it works, right? Ok maybe I only think you should remove this because I think it makes you sound like you're 15, but I might be wrong. I'm not sure what kind of girls you're going to attract with quips like that.
"Training to be an assassin." -- Possibly remove for same reasons as Batman
I'm not sure if you went back and edited the bit about your job as suggested by the other poster- but now it seems like you're not being genuine when you say you're psyched about it. You can write something more neutral between "uninteresting" and "psyched". Like *"I recently started a new job in state government. I'm still learning the ins and outs of my position but I'm excited about the prospect of moving into a more technical department in about six months"*
36 on ACT math-- 8 year old test scores.... really? /r/iamverysmart would like to say hi.
"You should message me if you want to start a conversation. Is there any other answer?" no. this is just as bad as "message me if you want to!" super boring an unoriginal. the other sentence you have there-- that's totally enough.
What are you looking for on here? It's seriously difficult to discern what you want out of this OKcupid and dating in general.
