I have decided to try a new approach with this site. Rather than try and up sell myself as a descent guy that every woman urns for, I have decided to just be my brutally honest, sarcastic, and witty self.


Plenty of Fish pet peeves:

Ms. Affirmative Action - “I hate when people can’t use your/you’re/there/their/they’re correctly or have poor grammar” –Wow really? Are you an English major? An editor for the New York times? It’s an online site, and you use typos or misspellings to judge a person, not everyone’s computer puts red/green squigglies under words. And as if grammar and punctuation on plenty of fish predicts a person’s intelligence.

Ms. Cliché - One of the most prominent annoyances on any personal web profile. Phrases such as, “I hate liars, cheaters, and backstabbers”. No shit! Please enlighten me with things that make you unique. Oh here is better one, “I like hanging out with friends” OH MY GOD! Me too! Lets Date!

Ms. Stipulation – “Please don’t message me if blah blah blah.” My God in Heaven! If I have to make one more checklist to make sure I meet criteria to message someone, I am going to yack. There are designated settings to keep certain people from messaging you. Not only that, you think saying that will filter out all the rotten eggs on this site? Figure it out for yourself like everyone else.


I have compiled a list of pros and cons for you to evaluate. I find it best to use an example to justify or show validity when a people online make a sensationalist claim about themselves. They are are as follows:

Pros

Hardworking – I have worked since age 16 and have never been unemployed. I stayed employed through a rigorous undergraduate degree while maintaining excellent grades.

Do-it-myself – I am very handy and do all of my own work. Such things may include: all mechanical maintenance of vehicles, remodeling rooms, and cooking.

Intelligent – I did my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at a pristine university in Saint Louis, MO. I graduated with cum laude honors and a minor in mathematics. I am starting graduate school for Electrical Engineering at University of Kansas specializing in Electromagnetics, which is a sub discipline of Electrical Engineering.

Committed – I dedicate a lot of time and energy into my girlfriend, because she deserves it. My relationship durations range anywhere from 8 months to 2.5 years. I always try to make things work and am willing to make sacrifice.

Cons

Language – Pretty self explanatory. I use profanity in casual conversation. I can control and clean up my language when it is appropriate.

I’m right – I like to not only be right, but also the best. I strive to be number one in my field. I think my way is better and faster. I can admit I am wrong if you have evidence or data backing up your claim.

Socially inept – I am not a big fan of going to bars every weekend and talking about crap that doesn’t matter. There is nothing worse than seeing someone that you haven’t seen since high school and they decide to tell you their life story and how "good" they are doing. Ha, I'd rather chew broken glass then hear that crap.

New Idea phobia – I promise, this one I am trying to change. I am aware that there are things in this world I don’t appreciate and take for granted. For example, I don’t care about fine arts… paintings, diverse cultures, music… How to change this? I think I just need some type of guide or inspiration.

Lets do something fun and out of the ordinary! Maybe we can both even learn something new. Go-karts? Mini Golf? Glass Blowing? Museum? A nice quiet dinner should be somewhere in the schedule for intellectual conversation.
