Dating Profile #2

Several of the online web-based dating apps offer an expanded profile area.

Here is my online profile at Match.com:
Hola! Tired of wasting your time on this and other apps? Interested in establishing real friendship which may lead to the best relationship in your life? Looking for a real connection? Then invest an additional 50 seconds into reading the rest of my profile! =] This genuine, down to earth yet above average, independent, drama-free, romantic and passionate Cuban guy, is looking to meet and bond with other similar guys who aren't into the club scene. I'm particularly interested in other stable guys for dinners, drinks, gym or travel buddies, learning something new about the world, challenging each other, laughing together, and enjoying life. I'm a big kid at heart, have been in long term relationships, and appreciate a good sense of humor and sarcasm along with unshakable optimism. Want to learn more about me? Ask! Or better yet, lets meet up without any pressure, assumptions, or expectations. You will quickly learn that I'm a well-grounded, friendly, low maintenance guy; I'm equally adept with the simple and the sophisticated, humble and modest yet talented, considered a good catch, and totally "take home to mom" material. But wait - there's more! Curious? Then lets get a dialog going! DISCLAIMER: I can't do back-flips, don't make a seven figure income, and am not looking to improve or impress anyone. I'm also not looking for someone to complete me, as I'm not missing any parts and am pretty good as I am, though I'm always open to being challenged, and know how to admit when I'm wrong. I'm athletic, work out at least 5x a week, box, and like to stay active, but that doesn't mean you have to. While I'm certainly open to expanding my network of friends, a stable long-term healthy and monogamous relationship is the ideal. Guys looking for casual sexual encounters should spare us both the waste of time. Life is short and can get busy - why not take a chance and break the ice by dropping me an email to say "Hola!" You won't be sorry you did - these 50 seconds might just be the best 50 seconds you've ever invested!

Meanwhile, over at OKCupid.com my profile reads:

"Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed, and rearranged to relocate us to the place we are meant to be." 
Hola! 
I'm a single professional with a great moral compass, who knows the roads I've traveled, and has learned how to enjoy life while ignoring life's speed bumps. 
My closest friends describe me as genuine, happy, judgment-free, down-to-earth, laid-back, drama-free, reliable, low-maintenance, well-centered, loyal, kind, rugged, honest, resilient, and an overall "great catch." My colleagues often refer to me as a hard working, confident, mature, intelligent, responsible, driven, even-keeled, technical, observant and an insightful team player. My closest friends and colleagues have reviewed and approved this profile; Are they accurate? Yeah, they are - though I'm actually modest too. 
I have an education, all of my teeth, read books without pictures, watch movies with subtitles, can maintain conversations on many topics, and don't consider Taco Bell an ethic food. I am looking for a guy who appreciates the finer things in life and is willing to settle for me. :) 
That said, I'm looking for someone who mentally stimulates me. I don't need to be completed, as I'm pretty good as I am. I'm single and would like to meet other similar, well-balanced, drama-free, guys to share life's journey with. Hopefully, that's why you're here too - after all, it's all about the journey. 
I've been in long term relationships, know how to share my life with others, am bright with a positive attitude and believe that one has more power over one's life than is often obvious. One is what one does. 
I've always welcomed new experiences, enjoy meeting new people, and tend to get along best with other guys who are independent, have a sense of who they are, know how to take care of themselves, have their own opinions, enjoy intellectual conversations, have a sense of humor, and prefer an equal balance in a relationship. I'm comfortable being me, passionate and a very tactile guy; I believe in a monogamous and long-term relationship, and won't allow someone to become a priority in my life if I'm only an option in theirs. 
I smile when you do, and enjoy a good laugh. I know how to listen, and friends and colleagues often turn to me to help them think through complex decisions. I am deeply grateful for the life I've been given, forever indebted to the friends and family who are so dear to me, and for all of the opportunities that have followed me through my life. 
I enjoy walks and hikes with my dogs, and I find the stars to be peaceful. I've just started tinkering with a Raspberry Pi computer, and have recently tuned the classical guitar I grew up playing. I'm not bad in the kitchen either. 
I believe that how you spend your days is how you spend your life - after all, what you do with this hour and with the next one, and the next one after that throughout your day, adds up to what you are doing with your life. Think about it. 
Life really is too short, so why not take a chance? 
Say "Hola" and meet one of the good guys that are out here. Real. Rugged. Genuine.

I thought these would offer a little departure from what appear to be short, abbreviated, or single paragraph profiles on these sites.
