| | About Me |
| | I like to think we are all works in progress. Some of us, however, are a little more complete than others. Me? I think I'm starting to see myself come into focus.
I think.
The first word that jumps to mind when considering myself? "Education" - in that I'm a teacher and that I'm going to school.
I think I love my job - love it in the "I think I'm supposed to be doing this..." sort of way, at least. Teaching is a funny profession - I'm awake at 7am (weekends included) and exhausted by 5pm (again, weekends included) so my buddies roll their eyes at my "damn, I'm tired" at the bar antics. I do love those amazing 'after school moments' that do happen from time to time. I don't much care for the 'harsh reality' moments that happen far too often, though. Those are rough and leave me feeling a bit unsettled.
I love bars and hate the bar scene. Or, rather, I like a good craft beer and talking loudly over other people, watching a game on a big tv and laughing loudly...I don't like the idea that, somehow in this mess, I'm also supposed to find an attractive woman and convince her that I'm worth her time...
I'm a talker - maybe too much so. I need to be. I'm nothing spectacular to look at - a little too broad in the shoulders, a little too thick in the waist, a little too short in the legs. Irish peasant stock. My people pulled plows and it shows on me a thousand years later. I'm okay with that, though. When I throw on a sports coat, they measure my shoulders like a wingspan.
That said? I need to drop about 25lbs - for my looks and health. I'm working on it - once upon a time, I was a small house at 285lbs. Today I'm down to about 225lbs. It's been slow over the past year...but I hope for 215 by summer and 205 by next winter.
Typically, I have done well with:
Amateur Poets/Artists/Singers
Other Teachers
Lawyers
Retailers
I have NOT done so well with:
"BBW and Proud of it" - not that I turn my nose or anything, but it's hard to diet (and, in risk of sounding sexist) as a guy when she's mowing down on whatever moves her.
Gym Rats - Don't let the extra poundage fool you, I *love* to move; but outside. On a hiking trail. Across a river. In the ocean. NOT on a treadmill. I feel like a hamster in a gym.
I have done VERY well short term with and VERY badly long term with:
Aquariuses (Aquari?) - I'm not really into the whole zodiac thing, but wow, after a few of the crazy matching I did a little research and I'm NOT supposed to go near 'em. The stories I have about them are just plain nutty.
I suppose that it's about here I should mention my physical likes: is it in bad taste to say that I like women who have curves? Hips and breasts and longer hair than mine...call me traditional, call me unreconstructed, but I know what I like...
I'm sure you know what you like, too. I have blue eyes. I'm not sure why they don't list that above...it's always been a complimented feature. Not sky blue or ice blue...but more an ocean blue, that blue meets green right before a mid-day storm. You're from New England, you know what I mean. And I've got a beard. Not a huge "mountain man" thing nor a thin "going through a phase" thing, either. But very tight to my skin. It's more auburn than the rest of my hair.
I think "Man vs Food" is a great show.
Finally, I clicked "women who may think you are hot" - and received a blank page. That was both awesome and terrible all at once.
***EDITED*** You know, people here are WICKED nice...and sometimes I feel like a jerk...so I'm going to put a few things out there:
1. People are often better looking than they give themselves credit for. Also, a lot of folks get sorta flustered when you tell them so. People, please, accept the reality: just because you're single, doesn't mean you're disfigured. Man. Be awesome!
2. Honestly, while I may be open to the idea of having kids in my life one day? At the moment, I'm not emotionally/socially at a point in my life where I enjoy dating a woman with her own kids. I think it's only fair to put it squarely out there.

It completely depends on who you are and where you are.
I like to think I'm pretty versatile - equally at home walking around the MFA or around the Commons, at KO Prime or Burkowski's. I like to talk - more when I'm nervous (and I would be, I'm always nervous when I'm first meeting people) - so if it let me do it? That would be awesome. |
