This used to be easier - and a lot more fun, cont.

So much of what I wrote is who I am at least as far as they know as the Time nessisary to find out more has not been invested. This deeper things often come later and in fact if I were putting them out that early you'd all be saying I'm revealing to much too soon and being to anxious therefore scaring them away. You'd say, relax, just have. Fun and get to know them - right.

But I can certainly add to that list.

- I'm extremely honest
- live to communicate about deep things
- I enjoy finding out about the other person
- I always say how I feel - and it's really how I feel. Not what I think the other person wants to hear
- I am very direct
- I am rather right on politics
- I do not want to get married again. I'd prefer one woman in the same page as me.
- if. She's still looking for her "soulmate" at this age we are not a match.
- I am very rational at conflict. I can agree to disagree. I don't do crazy. For example there is this spoof video where a woman has a nail in the center of her head and goes on and on complaining about the pain yet when her BF suggests it might be the nail in her head she gets very upset with him and says he's not listening to her - it's not the nail. THATS CRAZY - ad the video strongly suggests. I don't do crazy
- I don't sweat the small stuff
- money is no real issue to me
- I rarely if ever care what someone else thinks of me. I most certainly value their input but I don't do anything based. On what I think they will say or think.

Is that more what you are looking for? If so, it makes sense perhaps a month in or 5 dates in. Do you really think I. Not finding someone because they don't think I'd handle R conflict well? And if. So what on earth coukd someone just getting to know me base this on?

Why would you keep all these things hidden until further into a R? It's not revealing anything too soon to say that you like to have real conversations and that you are honest, or financially independent, or even-tempered, or that your political leanings are one way or the other, or that you don't see remarriage in your future. I think it saves a lot of time and prevents you from getting entangled with someone who thinks throwing food is the proper way to argue, or who is really superficial, or who can't imagine being with someone who has a different political view.

I know what I'm looking for in a partner. His job is completely irrelevant. It's great if he does well because it means he will most likely feel good about himself. But if he is a completely average performer at work and his focus is on spending his time taking care of family, help out at a shelter, or working on an art or craft, I would be even more intrigued. Money doesn't mean too much to me. It's nice to not have to worry and be able to travel a weekend once in a while, but I have no need for a 50 inch TV or a boat or diamonds. Or sit next to an exhausted and sleeping partner on the couch in front of the TV. I think many women feel the same way.
