Confession: I come here from the crazy world of okcupid...my life is already pretty full and satisfying, so I really didn't see the point of paying to meet people. By the end of my time on okcupid, I had HUGE disclaimers all over my profile about only contacting me if you have more to say than "you seem cool" and requesting that guys not comment on my looks (seriously...I know I am cute. I know you think I am cute, or you wouldn't be contacting me). While I met some cool people (one who became a dear friend), I really got tired of being inundated by messages and going on uninspiring first dates. So, you poor men, I come to match.com slightly more cynical than I would otherwise be. Dang you, okcupid! Let the fun begin...
While I am great at making room in my schedule for socializing, I do have a pretty busy schedule (chemist by day, belly dancer by night...or so I joke, since I spend so much time rehearsing, taking classes, or teaching). Taking that into consideration, I'm going to just throw out a couple potential red flags (which I actually think are great qualities, but some people think differently):
Do you associate the word "feminist" with words like "angry" or "man-hating"? We aren't gong to get along...
I am pretty high energy and a bit silly. This can wear on low energy people.
I have fun doing almost anything. This leads me to often not caring what I do. Do you hate "I don't care" as an answer?
I am really smart (genius level IQ) and thrive on interesting conversations (why I need more than "you seem cool").
I am a bit messy (but hire a housekeeper and a gardener to compensate).
I love interesting text and email conversations but don't like the phone...why not just meet in person?
Still reading? Maybe you should message me...
