"Just enough to not get bored, but wanting more." GOT YA! BOOYA! Hook, line and sinker.
But, yes, I see what you mean: hobbies, interests, pets, bizarre fetishes you hope your mother will never hear about, etc. etc.

How about art, painting, drawing, guitar, speculative fiction?

Seriously: is there not enough in my profile to spark a question beyond "How are you?"
At this point I expect the opening questions to be: "have you ever been incarcerated for domestic abuse" (NOT a funny subject!)and "how much in debt are you?"

I dunno - maybe I should just post a shirtless pic and call it a night...

Thank you,feelyoungagain. I very much appreciate your opinion/ perspective and understand that it's subjective (just as I also caught and appreciate the "handsome self" part - I really have no idea where I am on some arbitrary "1 to 10" scale).

As to the creepy mask: I made it (I make things; often creepy things). It's a face-hugger from the Alien movies. It says something about me. You don't like it - absolutely cool! For someone who digs it - I've made a connection.

I also tried to show that I appreciate honesty, intelligence and humour rather than just say "I'm funny, smart and honest". These are things I have and want. If I was subtle about it, take it to mean that I prefer someone who has nuance and perception. Again, you can't just blurt that out. I honestly wonder at the profiles that just say "I have a sense of humour". At the very least say: "I have a sixth sense of humour - I see dull people. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"

Lastly, and I mean this with gentle humour and poking fun, "qualities you desire in a partner, and what you are looking for" is the poster hanging in the Redundancy Department of Redundancy.

I also appreciate you playing "straight-man" for my reply. Thank you.

Thank you,soufiehere, on behalf of all Cunucks. If it's not too forward - your long hair pic is gorgeous! Silver screen movie star.

Sorry, y'all. I'm new. I don't know the vibe/protocol. Read the rules so I THINK I'm good. Also, I'm Canadian so - sorry. Anyone have any thoughts on my profile? Also also, I think it's cool this place has forums (fora? My ancient Greek is a little áza - uhm, rusty).
