A little about me...
The best personality you would ever want to meet. overall a wonderful person very honest, keeps it real at all times, god fearing, not perfect but always striving to be better....
I am looking for a God fearing man one who loves life. an honest, intelligent, hard worker-can't stand a lazy man cause i'm not lazy what-so-ever. one with a sense of humor cause i'm some what of a clown myself, love to laugh and have a good time. romantic man, candle light dinners, bubble baths or just cuddling in front of fire place. one who can carry on an intelligent conversation, i love to talk and get to know people. one who just needs one woman, who takes care of himself inside and out. respectful man, one who doesn't have 7 kids and 7 babies mommas- you get my drift. just over all a fine, sexy man at least 5'6 can't have no one shorter than myself. no couch potatoes, you need to have a lot of energy to hang with me.
Some of my hobbies include traveling, photography, decorating, reading, dancing, drawing, love music don't think i could live without it. much more will tell you when we chat. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PICTURE POSTED PLEASE KEEP STEPPIN..IT'S ONLY FAIR YOU SEE ME I WANNA SEE YOU...........LoveHowTo Dating Analyst's Take:
Yet again we get contradictory messages. Somehow there are a lot of folks out there who seem to willing to settle for reality but then demand what can only be a dream. In this case we get this contradiction twice - in her description of herself, and then talking about her ideal mate.
She starts out by draping herself in superlatives: "The best personality you would ever want to meet. overall a wonderful person..." Then she tells us something more believable when she adds, "not perfect." That's better.
She talks about what she wants in a man and it's very rosy and romantic. There are those famous "candlelight dinners" and that old "cuddling in front of the fireplace" and then "just over all a fine, sexy man at least 5'6. "
But I'm wondering if perhaps less is more here. So many things really ought to go without saying. It might it be more effective to say, "Looking for a fine sexy man at least 5'6" and leave it at that. After all if he is so fine and sexy, the candlelight dinners are probably included in the deal.
