It's just a hobby....the "Why I Stay Single!" 500+ one liner joke book series...please don't be paranoid! I'm sure we've all experienced dates from hell, and the series about dating/parenting, etc., is finished (on Amazon - so please don't email to ask where they are as an opening line, I don't respond to those). When I'm not working with investors in real estate, I'm either parenting, working on my wedding book or working on my utility patent (pending) for the fashion industry - linksbags.com - something I just don't have time to do and/or find a business partner with a substantial cash investment to launch for a nice share of this multi-billion industry. I stay extremely busy, but would love to find time to get on with my personal life.

Regardng likes/dislikes, I prefer men with hair on the head not just the chest or back, decent bodies (not a beer gut fan of 50 lbs overweight or more), those who have stable employment with a real education, at least 5'11", men with hobbies other than motorcycles and tattoos, and have actually been out of the country (other than Mexico) for pleasure....but, no one ever reads profiles, so editting this will probably not make a difference, and I'll probably continue to get 50 some odd emails during the week from men who don't brush their teeth or take a bath regularly - yuch!

Would like to actually find someone to settle down with, which is something I didn't think I would ever consider again!

I wouldn't do anything special for a first date. Scary topic - I want to meet the real person on a first date - not the poser the question above implies. Instead of your "best foot forward," which typically falls in the gutter after the first few dates, I'd like to see someone's true personality from day one....though I doubt that will ever happen!
