My Profile

Since I know you're curious what my profile says and how it's laid out, I will tell you all about it now.

I have a total of 8 pictures of me on my profile; all of which are current within a year. Only one picture isn't a head shot of just me. It was taken at Christmastime in Idaho and it was snowing. I'm wearing my Old Spice racing jacket, and I'm holding Andy, and Nic and Tony are standing next to me.

It says that I am a 43-year-old woman in North Las Vegas, Nevada, seeking men 37-55 within 25 miles. I am currently separated, have children who live at home, don't want kids but it's okay if my partner has kids. I am big and beautiful, at 5'6". I'm spiritual but not religious, smoke daily, and am a social drinker.

My bio part I have changed about 10 times in 3 weeks. The first format looked like this: ME: blah blah blah. YOU: blah blah blah. I changed the verbiage on that a couple of times. But I wasn't getting much of a response, so I changed the format after about a week. Then I went to a long dissertation about who I was and what I was looking for. And changed the verbiage on that a couple of times. Then I went to this: WHO am I? blah blah blah, WHO am I looking for? blah blah blah WHAT am I looking for? Friendship, companionship, a date once in awhile, and if it feels right, who knows where it may go. That also didn't get a lot of response.

It's funny. I wonder if the no thank you's are because of what I wrote on my bio, so I change it A LOT, but I really know that the no's are because of my being "Big and Beautiful." But I'm not changing that!

Currently, this is exactly what my bio says: ""Life's not fair, is it?" My favorite opening line of all time. Can you name the movie?

I can tell you all the things that you read in every profile. But you won't know how many of them are true unless you write to me or talk to me. The problem is, most of you will look at my picture and decide that I'm not the one for you. But how can you tell from a picture? A picture won't tell you if I'm smart or intelligent. It won't tell you if I know how to have fun. It won't tell you if I have a great laugh. There's only one way to find out. So take a chance. Wink me or email me."

Then it says I have dark brown hair, hazel eyes, what kind of sports and exercise I like and how many time I exercise (I put 1-2 days a week). It shows my interests, which I listed as camping, coffee and conversation, exploring new areas, fishing/hunting, movies/videos, museums and art, music and concerts, playing cards. These I chose from a list they provided. I don't remember what all was on the list, but I figured even tho I have many more interests, I chose the ones that I tend to actually partake rather those that I hoped to do. It says I'm in labor/construction (again, I had to chose from a list and this was closest), speak English and have had some college. I am a liberal in my politics, my sign is Aquarius, I have a dog, some fish and exotic pets, and that I like birds and horses (as pets).

Now my list about my date. I put that I am looking for men between 5'8" and 6'4" who speak English, are spiritual but not religious or Christian/other, and who don't drink, drink moderately or drink occasionally. I put that last part because I don't want someone who puts they drink regularly. I don't mind a drink every now and again, but not someone who needs it every day. Been there, done that; no thank you! The rest of the questions I didn't put a preference cuz seriously I don't care. They are hair, eyes, body type, ethnicity, education, job, income, smoke, relationships, have kids, want kids.

And from this, the majority of the matches they send me, probably about 85% to 90% of them, the men are athletic and toned or slender or about average but aren't looking for heavyset or big and beautiful women. If I want to find a guy that is slightly overweight or heavyset, I have to go into the search area and weed through a lot of matches to find some. They are out there, but, not as many as I expected. And here's something interesting... I have either emailed or winked every heavyset, stocky or otherwise overweight guy that had similar interests as me and guess what? Not a single one of them has gotten back to me with a positive result. Go figure.
