Well, I'm here to do what I hope will be a final edit of my profile. I've come pretty close to ending my quest of online dating I think, because while I've made a few nice friends and had a few dates, finding someone with whom I really click has so far eluded me, and coming here I just sort of get more cynical. There are so many attractive women here who are either incredibly picky or just want to see how much attention they can get with a nice cleavage shot. It's hard to compete with that kind of mentality. I never knew that trying to find something real and longterm could be so exhausting.
I've had some hard times this year so I'm not in the best financial situation. I'm not looking for a sugar mama. Just trying to meet people and see if anyone can appreciate the person I am rather than the situation I've been given. I'm looking for people that can take the time to get to know me and see that I'm a good person, since so many women say that that's what they're looking for. You shouldn't be alone just because you're not a Forbes businessman. :)
What I have to offer is good companionship and devotion. I'm proud of my intelligence and integrity, and I have the convictions to stand by my beliefs even if I like debating and sharing with others about their own. I love good debate, intelligence, and people that, unlike so many of their profiles say, are legitimately down to earth and approachable people.
I'm heavy into criminal justice, forensics, and all that good Court tv type of stuff, back when there was a Court tv. My plan is to go to school for this or possibly the veterinary field, as I love animals. Hug a rat today, they're the coolest.
What I like is open communication, honesty, trying to really come together and share rather than hiding or keeping things bottled up. Sorry that I don't manufacture that sometimes sought-after "air of mystery", but that's part of the "game" that I'm so sick of. Just be real. Be yourself. And be polite. I know I am, and I'm tired of meeting fakes and pretenders.
I'm attracted to all types of girls, though intelligence, glasses (I'm a big fan of eyes) goths and video gamers get bonus points. What I'm trying to avoid are obnoxious bar types (I don't party), attention whores, and those that are looking to play the field and sow their oats or whatever. At this stage in my life I'm getting pretty tired of trying, and have become kind of cynical about this world and the people in it. I'm looking for someone with a genuine good heart and the honesty and follow-through to prove that they're for real, and I don't mind continuing to wait for that. I just wish it wasn't so hard.
I'm a huge movie buff and love cuddling up to watch them with a partner. I love nature, animals, walks in the woods and on the beach (cliche but true) and spending time with my companion. I'm not the kind of guy who leave you at home while he goes on a "boys night out" drinking at the bar. I could care less about alcohol or most sports for that matter, so I guess if you're looking for sort of the more quiet and devoted type, that'd be me.
Check out my interests up there and see if we have anything in common. If we do, don't be as shy as I am, drop me a line. I may have a bit of a hard exterior that's formed from life (and people) burning me once too often- but I know that special someone is out there and I hope to meet her someday so she can prove I'm not alone.
First Date
I love to go to coffee houses, walks on the beach, hikes in the woods, arcades and minigolf, or visits to the parks or musems. Anything calm, casual, and one-on-one so the pressure to prove yourself gives way to a relaxed atmosphere of genuine interest in one another.
