Jenny. First about the post I made about Two cooks and zero sex. I over did it in several areas.
I stick by my motto that you, me, and everyone else deserves "ONE GOOOD" partner and would never suggest you become Mrs. Lou #2.
Mostly I wanted to let you know that some guys do things for their W and that some men don't expect to be waited on.
I am not being critical of your H and trying to bash him, I can see things he does or doesn't do that trouble me and what I consider normal.
I grew up where moms didn't work or if they did it was part-time so that is why I said be Mrs. Lou and you could work part-time.
All that aside, I still think one guy would be the best choice for you. And yes the guys are going to be "Picky" about who you date, “if you let us.” Maybe it isn't our place to do that, maybe we like to protect our female acquaintances and friends.
I stick by my "one good man" thing. It isn't me. I was just horsing around the other day.
I am passionate about living, from the moment the sun rises until my dreams set in. (MO=my opinion, R-reality) MO: Blow hard. I will lie to impress some one. R: Tell me what you did every day this week/month. He watched the game on TV, downed a 6 pack every night or rode his bike 50 miles, and saw 5 customers.
While my business take a lot of my time MO: I will see you when I am not doing something else or seeing some OW. R: I have most XX days off and work on YY days.
I seek a women of quality, self-assured but easy going MO: He doesn’t want someone he has to support or had clingy tendencies, and let him do what and when he wants to do. R; He wants to provide Xy and wants you to provide AB to the R. He doesn't want xx baggage to come with the woman and wants some independence.
Jenny, flowery statements look good to some people but like politicians saying the promise a "chicken in everyone's pot" during the depression, it sounds nice but how does it get done, what was done in the guys past to prove himself.
If I posted a profile instead of saying I like to dine out, I would say I went to IHOP 4X, Taco Bell 5X, Arbys 1X Applebee's 1X, and a local soup/sandwich/salad bar 1X this month. That way the OP reading my profile knows where I go to eat out and if they like or don't like those places, it is up to them to determine compatibility.
A seeker of the truth Oh. Who's truth? And telling part of the truth is still misleading.
The profile is all too nebulous for me Jenny. Facts, and figures.
Jenny, I like to square dance. I could put that in my profile. But the whole truth is I only went once and that was back in 1963 to an introduction to square dancing event.
If I was a woman dating, eventually I would say show me your driving record, your M and D papers, your military records, lets go to the cop shop and do a rep-sheet check. All too drastic for a first date, but to me the flowery profile like this one, is not concrete enough.
Maybe working in a group home has reduced my ability to trust people using the "first glance" method.
My real feelings are some people don't write well and some people write well enough to cover up the whole truth.
