I have an 'alternative' personality. =)
I am not typing this again and apparently I didn't use enough words in my sentence, so... as seen on another site:
Ok then.
I can see that it is time for a new approach.
First thing: I would ask you, please, not to judge me based on my "what am I looking for" nonsense box. The option that applies to me isn't there, so it doesn't make a huge difference from my point of view which one I pick, but obviously it might to yourself. So like everyone else on this site (or at least those who count) I am here to meet new people. I am interesting in getting to know someone, I am interested in dating, and if I find someone worth it then I'm interested in a relationship and the whole shebang. But let's be honest, what you're looking for is really actually defined by what it is that you find in the first place, and on the other hand my experience is that when you are looking for something you will never find it. I am here, and that's enough. I'm not some sleaze looking for a quick lay.
...Which, incidentally, brings me quite nicely onto the next point.
I don't drink. I don't like nightclubs or any of that. I really don't even like being around drunk people, as a rule. Especially if it's a whole bunch of them rammed into a small, dark, sweaty hot space. But then where does that leave me? Social convention tells me that the way for me to meet people is to go 'out on the town'. So I am expected to go out to clubs, as a sober individual, to prey on the drunk and vulnerable women? Ok, some of them might be looking for exactly that... But it's not what I'm looking for. What opportunity does that leave me with, to meet new people in a casual and non-threatening environment, but where it is still socially acceptable to show interest in dating and physical attraction and all the rest? The other way to look at it is why should I have to assume that I'm going to find the right person for me in my local area? I don't even know if I am going to find her (or she can find me) in this country. I aspire to more, always. Defy convention. The only limits in life are the ones you impose on yourself.
And so, here we are. Theoretically a collection of individuals who are mutually consenting to the fact that they would like to meet a romantic partner of some sort, regardless of the level of commitment involved.
I don't know why have decided to go to the effort of sharing all of that with you. Everyone knows that most people won't read it. Even if you skim read it to pick out some key points, then good for you. If you didn't read a word of it and you still want tot talk to me because you think I'm attractive then that's great too, not even a problem.
The problem is.. maybe it's my age.. I am getting more and more sceptical about pretty much everything in life. What am I looking for? A beautiful, confident, intelligent, ambitious, adventurous and honest woman with a real personality and the ability to hold an actual conversation. A woman who appreciates that the people who say "looks aren't important" are very much mistaken, and all it really means is that they are willing to settle and avoid being alone at any cost. I actually enjoy being alone. I have no need to be with somebody 'just because'. I have criteria, and I can be pretty stubborn. Sure, I can be flexible. But it's all circumstantial and varies with each and every individual. But anyway, I digressed. Where am I going to find this mythical woman that I am looking for? Here..? In my experience I may think that I have found her and then it turns out to just be another flipping catfish. Which is a huge problem.
If I could find a hot gamer chick, who is genuine, then I would actually be pretty stoked. I am a massive nerd. I love gaming and films, I don't really read comics but I do want to go to Comic Con some day. There are two sides to every coin though. I'm quite big on health and fitness, and I enjoy sports and being active, and most of all travelling and going on adventures. So ideally I am after somebody like-minded.
I'm willing to accept the possibility that I simply may be alone forever. I can come to terms with that. But if you're out there, then come and find me. If you're not the person I've described, and you want to talk to me, then please by all means!
It would be good for me, I think, to meet somebody different who can take me out of my comfort zone and shake things up a bit.
