I kinda feel bad for girls who post a profile on match.com, seriously...
Here’s why...
So let’s say she’s looking for a decent guy, so she posts a profile: “Hi, I’m a confident attractive young woman who is looking for nice secure man with a job, ect...”
And the flood of email begins. By the time the big hand goes around the clock once, she probably has a flood of 20 something emails with nearly the identical subject: “Hi, I saw your profile” or nothing short of “Hi, u r cute”, and once in a while “hello there!”.
The poor girl now has to sort through several dozen of emails to find some gold in the dirt. Unfortunately, they all have few things in common: (an overused compliment) of “ur sooo cute/hot/etc.”, with a supplicating tone “please, please like me, here I am”, or an immediate date invitation “Hey I am going to be bored all weekend, let’s hang out!” (aka, please entertain me, or lets hook up), and all this is accompanied by self description that you typically find on one’s resume.
And just like a message sprinkled with un-welcomed sexual innuendos or just a plain straight out proposal for sex, they all head for the trash, sadly, without even being read.
Now, the very thin line between trying to be original and trying too hard is nearly impossible to hit.
It’s very easy to hide behind a “screen name” and say anything you want. Because in a way, “We're all so much cooler online” but, reality vs. online often greatly disappoints. And that goes for both girls and guys. Yep, we know the “angle camera shot” and we can see when you’re passing your high school pictures as most recent ones. I think it’s funny…
So where does this leave me? I am here. I’m posting my profile and I know what I am looking for. But, just as I’m posting this, you probably got e-mailed by 10 guys already saying, “Hi, I’m a very nice guy who will do anything to make you happy”. How can a girl sort through all this junk?! I too, want to make people happy; I would just rather make them happy than try to set lofty goals.
I’m pretty confident in who I am and I know what I deserve in this life. I just made you read a whole page of my “ramblings” and you probably stopped at some point and said “that is so true!” well, I'm glad you agree. But you’re here, and I've got you to read this far so keep going, the good stuff is coming!
The name is Joey. (That’s me)
I’m in my 30’s, with a career (not just a job) and in possession of many skills, some of which are more useful than others, hah! I have a car, I don’t live in my mother’s basement, and I like long walks on the beach with that special someone, love the outdoors and the basic minimum, just enough to make me sound just like everyone else. But as you and I both know, we’re all very unique human beings.
The goal here is to find a truly extraordinary girl to create a special bond with - someone who I can share a strong connection with. A girl who I can communicate openly with and someone who is intelligent and passionate about life. Someone to laugh with, love and share a truly amazing time together, someone who can be a best friend...
Sounds pretty demanding huh?
I know it seems like alot when you read it, but in all reality, I'm really not that picky. It's the little simple things that are the most important...
Give me a shot, You won't be disappointed! ;)
