update- why do chicks post up pics of their kids? It Boggles my mind

I'm an optimistic cool funny person, always looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. I like to drink socially, I like to club, party, and all that stuff, but I also enjoy a glass of Merlot or two alongside an intriguing conversation. I'm a straight shooter and well tell you how it is, not how you'd like it to be. I find it ironic how right off the bat with the messages i receive, i'm being evaluated as a potential mate, yet the person on the other end has tons of baggage. Kind of like when a bums asking for money you give him a quarter, and he asks for a dollar.
I think for the most part women on POF overvalue their worth as a potential mate. Getting dates is not a problem, so I'm mostly on here to meet interesting new people, i wouldn't get the chance to meet otherwise. I love experiencing new cultures and customs, so that's always a plus. I have friends from all over the world, sometimes we'd joke around about organizing a mini U.N. I've traveled the world, well i've been to 5-6 countries lol but that's alot more than most people i've met. Just looking to meet new friends and taking it from there.

Hmm this question really depends on the variables, if im having a good time, if im feeling a connection, if theres a mutual attraction and what not. I'm pretty laid back on the first date, but if i believe theres something there, i'd take my chances with rejection lol
