Reader Challenge: Write My Profile
Yesterday I posed the question "how do I acquire talent in this forum?" in regards to my online dating life.
Laurie made a great suggestion in the comment section: Why don't you let some of your readers write a profile for you? We don't need to know your name and your physical appearance to help you fill in the blanks.
What a brilliant idea!
Think you can write a total kick ass online dating profile for me? Yep, so do I. Feel free to write it in the comments section or email it to me at hrwench at g mail dot com.

You know you want it!
Here are some key details about your HR Wench bachelorette:
You know you want it!
Here are some key details about your HR Wench bachelorette:
- Never married, no children. Would like children someday.
- Is cute and has even been called pretty, beautiful and (once) "smokin".
- Likes to read, garden, exercise (6x/week), shop, blog, hike, and is usually up for anything in a small group setting (unless it's extreme sports or requires a lot of balance).
- Is kind of a loner. She doesn't do a lot with friends as they are very busy with careers & family. However, she still maintains strong relationships with friends and family and has learned to enjoy solitude.
- Is an unemployed, financially stable, human resource ninja.
- She is well educated and knows mounds of useless trivia. She will kick your ass at Jeopardy, every time.
- Is well traveled (England, Japan, Canada, Mexico, almost all states) but prefers short trips to long ones.
- Her immediate family is extremely important to her and they live nearby. They are laid back, funny, don't fight and have dinner together once per week.
- She believes in God. She is not a spaz about her or other's religion.
- Likes guys who are confident, honest, KIND to strangers, hilarious, taller than her (she's 5'6'') and know what they want in life. It also helps to be anything but blond - she likes the darker horses.
- Does not like guys who drink too much, don't take care of themselves, are out to prove something or start every story with "oh-my-gosh-this-one-time".

HR guru seeks non-blonde, non-lush direct report for intermediate to long-term engagement. Activities to include wellness and succession planning initiatives with occasional international exposure. Employment at will relationship with valid DL required. No Freaks...
No Freaks... LOL, brilliant. I think this takes the whole FOT team. Maybe we need a carnival scheduled to address this?!
Actually, Wenchie, your own blog post just nailed it. Guys are stupid and like bullet points.
I agree with Laurie. You've written it!
I don't understand most of them, but really like those bullet points
Kris - Very good sum up!
Laurie and Rachel - You guys totally tricked me into doing this myself, didn't you? UR REVERZ SIGHKOLOGY IZ WERKIN?
Dan - Really? Uh oh.
i say, post a picture with some cleavage, and let that speak a million words.
: )
seriously... i don't get get men, so let a dude should write it for ya. pay KD a dollar per word and then post up whatever he writes. it will probably be in some sports related talk. we will not understand, but it will do the trick.
i'm a horrible HR person. sheesh.
good luck!
I couldn't stop laughing over KD's comment. Awesome!
If you don't go with KD's comment, you'll have to stick with what you've written. It's a great description.
I am just about everything you like in guys - except I am a woman that people describe as "smokin'" and of course that thing, and those two other things.
Because I am financially secure, educated, funny, and emotionally stable I can hold out for a non-loser who is all of this (never married). You will also be wasting both of our time if you aren't in pretty good shape, can maintain a conversation with both your old buds but also new people who I might like.
My soft side includes reading, gardening, mild religion, my very cool family and an interest in a long-term/committed.
So... are you man enough?
Jessica - Cleavage pics would probably attract the wrong crowd, unfortunately. Of course, sometimes you want the wrong crowd...
Evil - Thanks man (I mean, gal!)
Bill - Blush mode just initiated!
There is a lot there about you, but very little about what you want. How can a man be everything you desire if you do not tell him what pleases you. Don't rely on him guessing correctly.
Roy - Good point. However, I am not hugely picky. Attraction and chemistry are important as are honesty, good character and sense of humor. Beyond that though, I'm interested in people as they are...not as a flesh and blood comparison to some far fetched list.
Why not be picky? Even people in HR, deserve it. ;)
You have just identified five requirements, four of which could be placed in an ad. Funny enough, these same four are the ones my main squeeze admires about me. I'll leave you to guess at the fifth one. (Hint: I'm overweight.)
Well Wench, wouldn't you know, I just turned this discussion about you to one about me. Maybe you now have a sixth requirement.
I have to agree with Evil HR Lady and the others; that's a great description. I'm not on match.com, but if I were, I'd be very interested! In fact, if I weren't younger than you, I would probably ask you out. :-)
Younger guys are WELCOME to ask me out!!! As long as you are 21, I'm game.
