The reason that I am writing is to find a woman of substance that is real. I have posted on craigslist before with no success and hoping by being more specific that I can find a person I can really get to know. I am not looking for a model or a barbie doll but someone that is real which means she is not slim she is average or plus size but is still physically attractive. I am far from being a ten myself but no one can tell me that physical attraction does not matter because it does. I have to admit that looks have to be there initially but it fades with time so I am also looking for someone that is intelligent, kind, polite, hard working and generous. Some might think I am picky but I really want to fall in love with someone that is honest with me from day one as I do not want to find out down the road that she is a fake and was only liking the same things as me because it made me happy. I want to know the real you and not someone superficial. I just want a real relationship with no bullsh*tor drama as I want a person to spend my free time with and get to know and share hobbies, laughs, interest, good times and bad times and never take the other person for granted. That is one promise I made myself when I meet that person that I will never take her for granted and always cherish her like a gift you get at Christmas. I mean by that when you are all excited to open your gifts on Christmas morning that is the feeling I want to experience everyday when I see her I feel like the luckiest man alive. I know it is a tall list to fill and by the way I am not looking for someone perfect as I am far from it but someone I can get to know go see movies, take long walks, picnics, long drives with no destination in mind etc... Anyway if you think you might be a person I would like to get to know please feel free to respond.
