it was. Was his name Brian? I think that he spoke about himself in the third person to kind of remove himself from the situation in his mind. Not suggesting that you're doing that in your profile

Not sure about the 3rd party, as I feel it's a defensive mechanism, therefore would I get to know you and make a proper connection

call me cynical but I think the whole thing was probably a set up. A guy who was terrified when suddenly presented with six very different women's genitals (hadn't he seen the show?)and an overtly sexual woman...

Not gonna lie when I read your user name and saw your profile pic I got serial killer vibes then I started reading your profile and was like ffs are you really righting about your self in third person... Then realised you was taking the piss and actually appreciated the humour and originality of it.... Over all its a pretty good profile in my opinion (which isn't worth much lol)

I think it’s a great idea - probably a little too short to create any kind of intrigue and draw people in.

As a single guy it’s all about being seen and standing out, so it’s good to be different.

Get some creative pics up to go along side your story and it’ll become a more rounded interesting profile.

It's a clever use of illeism in my opinion.

Had you inserted your name rather than he though and I may have thought differently.

It's probably not pretentious, but it does distance you from the reader, and also might indicate you are dissociating from the fact of what you need. Anyway, I'd suggest literary writing is not a good idea on here.

By the way, Trump often talks about himself in the third person. That alone ought to put you off it.

Is it you? Do you want people who will enjoy you for you? If yes its bang on? I think its a nice text. Its different and brings a bit of your character through. It may not be for everyone as we are all looking for different characters/types. But don't be someone else, be you and then hopefully you'll fine the right people for you and have a great time.

Good luck to you.
