So I "winked" at someone and they emailed me wondering if I was computer generated as a ruse to get him to stay on Match longer. I do exists, last time I checked.
I have been on and off match a few times over the last 6 months and I have met some amazing people, made friends and learned a lot about what I am and am not looking for in a man. In no particular order here are some key things that I find important.
*I am quick witted and have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor. I love a man that can make me laugh and someone I can have fun with. Overly serious, and stick up their asses types and I don’t get along well. I will probably make fun of you on occasion, be prepared to deal with it and not cry.
*Men who cry. There is a time and place for crying. Funerals and the birth of your children are good times to cry. Telling me about the ending of “Tangled” and tearing up about it is not a good time to cry. Women like sensitive men but not criers. It makes us uncomfortable.
*Men need to smell nice, most of the time. We want to be able to grab you and hug you without a nasal assault. I say most of the time because men still need to smell like men, on a hot Saturday afternoon its perfectly fine to smell like beer, gasoline and cut grass. Thats sexy too.
*While looks are important, they are not the most important thing to me. My last relationship was with a person who I didn’t find attractive at all in the beginning and after getting to know him and falling in love he became attractive to me.
*Good oral hygiene is a must.
*I’m going to check out your shoes and the amount of gas in your tank.
*Men who cook, or at least attempt to cook are sexy.
* A little facial hair is okay, too much is a turn off. I don't want to kiss Grizzly Adams. Also if your hair is longer than mine consider cutting it and uploading new photos before you contact me.
*If you don't have at least one photo don't waste your time, I'll delete you.
*Don't lie about your height . If we meet, I'll notice.
*Don't lie about your age If you say your 46 but belong to the AARP I'll probably figure it out.
* I don't really have a "type". I love a guy that can pull off a pink polo shirt and Sperry's. When I lived in Texas I thought cowboy hats were kind of sexy. I love a man in uniform (as long as its not a prison jumpsuit). I am not into the leather Harley Davidson look though.
*My children live more or less full time right now with their father. They come to visit me often in Boston. I am not looking for a father figure for my kids. In fact when I do decide to be in a relationship with the right person it will be a long while before that person is even introduced to my children. If you are thinking, "I don't know if I could date a woman with kids" do me a favor and look elsewhere.
*if you live in Lynn it probably won't work out.
I have just finished with my Mortuary Science degree this year.(Yes people are DYING to meet me, I've heard it a million times.) I am an apprentice funeral director and embalmer.
I have lived all over the world, New Hampshire, Japan, California, Texas, Guam and now Boston. I speak some French and adequate Japanese. After a few drinks I speak it fluently.
I love to read, travel, cook, and shop. I am just as comfortable dining in a nice restaurant as I am drinking beer at a Bruins game.
I am looking for an a man who is established in his life and career. Preferably I'd like to meet this man before I embalm him.
