How is it that a girl who is on 5 (yes, FIVE) different dating websites (3 which are paid memberships) does not have at least 2-3 dates a week?
Today a friend of mine asked me how my love life was. I told him that it was basically nonexistent. It seems that I am undateable. Why? I have no idea.
I don't have warts on my face, a gigantic club foot or even an enormous butt (it's not small but definitely NOT enormous). I'm not a skinny girl but I'd not morbidly obese. I'd say curvy, voluptuous, zaftig and maybe even chubby - American average size of 12-14.
I have a great job that I can retire from in less less than 7 years. Granted, it's not your typical girl job but I love it. Wouldn't you want to be with a girl who loved her job? I work at night which I think is a good because then you're not up each other's butts all the time. My work/days off schedule rocks, so I'm easy to make plans with.
I make a decent amount of money, which some people would consider a plus. It puts me in the "I'm not-financially-dependent-on-a-man" group of women, which I would think is a bonus.
I own my home (ok technically the bank does) which I'd say is cozy and comfortable. I'd like to think of it as lived in but absolutely not dirty. Hey, people get busy and clothes, shoes, purses, accessories, etc. may fly around the house when I'm deciding on an outfit. Eventually, I put it all back where it belongs - the clothes explosion mostly takes place in the guest room and the door is always closed.
I can cook and I make thee best Betty Crocker brownies on the planet. Sometimes there are dishes in the sink but it's usually because I haven't emptied out the dishwasher. The dishes have been rinsed, so it's not gross. Living life is more important than being freakishly neat.
I don't mind doing laundry and I can even fold a fitted sheet into a square. I've been told that I have terrific ironing skills. My dresser drawers contain neatly folded and organized essentials and I have a lot of closet space. Ok, the closets are filled to capacity with my stuff but I'd move some things over and maybe even have a 'get rid of day" to accommodate my guy. The only exception is my shoe closet, that can't be negotiated.
I don't drink booze, so there's always a DD. And I'll even go as far to say that I'll pick up any friend from anywhere at any time (if I'm available) so that I know they got home safely. I'll pick them up from a bar but not from behind them. They know not to call me for DWI bail money though.
I'm told that I have a great sense of humor, however, it can be a little bit warped, and a giggle like Betty Rubble. My laugh usually usually enters a room before I do. Ok. I may snort when I'm laughing hysterically but that's part of the fun and it usually causes more laughter.
I've recently opened myself up to dating women and went on a couple of dates with a doctor. Same shit, different gender. But at least I went on more than one date.
My profiles are all a little bit different from one another and I don't think my pictures are out of date or unattractive. I don't consider myself photogenic, so it's hard for me to pick out a larger amount. Plus, I think that too many pictures make a person look odd. I've seen what's out there and it's scary. Some of these girls are illiterate and sound desperate. I don't describe myself as a diva, a queen, a princess, high maintenance or anything other than girl next door with an edge. I don't have baggage, drama or even kids. I don't have pictures of me making kissy-faces, with boobs hanging out and I'm not posing like a hooker. Is that what I'm supposed to do? Guys have said that I'm much more attractive, cuter and even prettier in person than in my pictures. Unfortunately, I can't get beyond my own email expressing interest.
How does one go about explaining themselves to attract a man or even a woman. I've asked friends and non-friends alike. No one seems to have an answer - or they're too polite to be up front with me. I'm perplexed.
Suggestions are welcome....
