OK. As the subject line says, if the plates I'm spinning don't pan out, I may have another go at an online ad. Just not meeting many unattached women who do anything for me who would consider dating anyone my age, and it's getting harder to make it a non-issue. I attract them well enough, but lose 'em once the age issue comes up.
My main stumbling blocks online:
1) Never been married
2) Income under $50K/year
Pics must be OK, but not great: have had a few, but not many, reasonably hot women contact me or write back in past online forays.
It's somewhat inspired by Espi's ad (thanks!), but comes from an entirely different direction. Mine is almost an "anti-ad," and slams my "shortcomings" head-on.
It might stand to be shorter, but I can't think of what to cut out without losing something I like.
OK, here goes:
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
There was a smart, young woman who loved to get out on the town and bounce up and down to the little club where her favorite new bands rocked the house … or perhaps was in one of those bands … and got all excited dressing up in a sharp miniskirt to hit the town for the big art opening … perhaps even had some of her work featured in it. Does that gal sound like you? Is she still there, underneath the responsible, practical woman people see in your day-to-day life?
I’m extremely sensual, complex, and open-minded (no, that is not a “code” for “into kinky sex” {rolling eyes}). Love music, the arts, philosophy, politics, sports, and anything that catches my interest. Quality means a lot to me: perhaps too much for my own good.
I’ve had some bumps on the road, but nothing involving substance abuse, and nothing that would show up on a criminal record (too bad, “bad boy” addicts)… I work for myself, and have opted for autonomy over financial security (hasta la vista, ye prospectors for gold – be careful not to lose your mining cap on the way out of the tunnel), actually enjoy my work, and am on my way up… on my own terms. I much prefer this to making six or seven figures doing something barely tolerable for more than half of my waking hours, while being too zonked to enjoy the benefits of it the rest of the time. That 2-week trip to Cancun just doesn’t balance it out…
My idea of a good time varies from drumming until I’m in a state of exhausted bliss to exploring an old graveyard or abandoned building, getting out on the lake to boat or fish, reading a good book, dancing to a cool band, creating a new tune (the 2nd best thing of all), and of course the sort of activities to which this profile is intended to lead. Especially “those sort of activities.”
The vibe between two people cannot very well be summed up by a “laundry list.” Perhaps seeking “that vibe” here is a fool’s mission, but no harm in having a go, seeing as how most of the unattached women I encounter out on the town are practically kids.
That said, it’s not important whether you’re 25 or 52, what your hair color is, your religious faith is (as long as you don’t try to save soul from the raging fires of a hell I don’t believe exists), whether or not you agree with me politically, or any of that. It doesn’t matter whether or not you have a good, honest job such as a bus driver, teacher, or stripper; or your career is something more on the dark side, such as a high position in an oil company, personal injury lawyer, or Microsoft executive (though I may draw the line short of Monsanto or Diebold).
It does matter that you’re reasonably bright, I have a definite thing for soft, fair skin and “bedroom” eyes, and I appreciate a sensual woman who appreciates the wonders of touch. I’m in good shape, and prefer women who likewise make an effort to keep in shape … but I don’t expect a beauty queen or triathlete, and quite frankly, often find the cute “girl next door” or “nerdette” more attractive than the overly made-up “Cosmo girl,” though I appreciate a good, unique sense of style.
I’ve never seen marriage as a goal in itself, and have always considered the quality of the relationship and compatibility of people’s circumstances to precede marriage (some divorcees among you may be nodding your heads), but that convergence has not happened in my life… yet. I don’t believe in the fairytale of “The One,” but am convinced there are many “ones” with whom one could have a jolly fine partnership…
So … are you there? Come out, come out, wherever you are!
