Ok so this is the section where I am supposed to try to sell myself like a brand new product on the market but let’s face it at 36 I’m hardly a “new” product. Not only that, but I’m a terrible salesperson. When I was 18 I tried selling knives door to door. At the end of two weeks I was down about $60 between gas and parking tickets. The final straw was falling off someone’s porch and face planting in their flower garden. As I laid there wiping dirt out of my eyes and pulling leaves out of my hair I thought to myself, I came, I saw and I failed miserably, perhaps it’s time for a career change. So I got married and had kids instead. I figured if I was going to be yelled at and sh*t on it might as well be by someone cute and related to me. Besides I’m really clumsy and I thought babies would be easier for me to handle than knives. Boy was I mistaken…..

I’m not sure what the point in me telling you that story was but if nothing else maybe it told you a few things about me:

1. I tried being a salesperson because I’m friendly, outgoing and I love meeting new people. Even those who threaten to shoot if I don’t get off their property.

2. I fell off the porch so I’m not the most graceful person in the world.

3. The fact that I told you I fell off the porch means I can laugh at myself.

4. I realize when things aren’t going so well. I can admit it and change my plans.

5. I thought being a mother was going to be easier than selling knives so maybe I’m not the brightest bulb or I tend to underestimate little people.

6. I was married, so at one point I did commit to someone and I wouldn’t be afraid to do it again if the right one came along.

7. I ramble and tell stupid stories when I have nothing better to say. Although I hear my stories are better in person because I’m very animated.



I’ve been on POF for almost 2 years now. I’m not proud, nor embarrassed, maybe I’m just picky. I’ve met a lot of interesting people here. A lot of people I wish I wouldn’t have ever met and some I don’t even remember anymore. I guess there really is something to the saying “you get what you pay for”. If Jerry Springer had a big reunion show of all his past guests I imagine many could be found right here on this site. If POF had a MENSA gathering I’m thinking it would be a very low turnout. Perhaps even a party of one (me of course, you didn’t think I was talking about you did you?) If there was a POF meeting of married men who weren’t “getting any at home” you’d have to book Beaver Stadium for the event, no pun intended. If there was to be a party for normal, well adjusted, emotionally available, smart, funny and articulate POFers I could probably hold it in my living room. So if you are one that fits into that latter category email me and I’ll give you directions to my house.

Best of luck to everyone on this site. I truly hope you find what you are searching for.

The conversation is more important than the place.
