I Would Describe Myself As
My appearance now is a combination of Larry the Cable Guy and Kevin James - with the right partner (read motivation, inspiration, etc) I'll probably get back to "Average in less than a year. But I've been "athletic and toned" before and I don't think its happening again.
I would prefer someone in the west valley or at least no further than a half hours drive - I would like to want to - and be able to - see someone more than just on weekends. I live and work in the west valley and I'll be here for at least the next 3+years until my youngest graduates. She is going to the same school her older brother and sister graduated from (same elementary school also). She is now 15 and I take care of her most of the time - some weekends she stays with her mother.
To be honest, I think that this online dating thing is slanted more towards the females. If I saw someone I was attracted to in a bar or something, I had no problem going up and starting things, but online,it's a different story. In reality, I've never really "winked" at anyone before, but if mutual eye contact is made then it is followed by a greeting and getting to know each other.
If you wink or email, I'l look at your profile and follow up if the interest is mutual.
As far as my "Appearance Preferences" - If you give the impression that you are NOT a pessimist, have a good self image (smile and attitude in your pictures) that goes a long way. You don't have to have pictures of you in swimwear or lingerie in your profile (it's ok, even great if you do - but I can respect modesty).
I'm attracted to almost any body type, height, hair color - but I prefer someone who doesn't appear too "Fancy" - If you appear to always wear heels, a bunch of make-up, and spend more than 10-15 minutes n you hair just to get groceries then we're probably not meant for each other. I understand that you want to look good, but most of you look your BEST with your hair up, very little make-up and in a T-shirt & jeans or shorts and flip flops or tennis shoes.
As far as ethnicity, I spent my teenage years in MN so if your under 5'6" and not blond I'll probably think of you as "exotic" and unfamiliar but very attractive and appealing.
Again, it's more about your outlook, attitude and self image.
As far as age goes, as nice as it would be to find someone in the 21-30 yr range, it probably wouldn't work unless you have already led a full and eventful life - It's possible though - before I was 25 I had worked on land, livestock, and dairy farms, built 3 race cars and a few "street' cars, lived in several states (both in the "Big City" and small -[Less than 1,000] town) and on 3 continents, worked as a Systems Analyst for a large company, got bored and joined the miitary (Air Force) and a lot more. But something like that is VERY rare and I realize it.
If someone had an automotive interest, a military/law enforcement backgroung, or grew up in a small town or on a farm - a younger age may work out ok. But it will probably be someone at least 35 or more than likely 45 . Either way, I'm not trying to find different dates every month - like most others, I'm looking for that spark.
I have an sarcastic sense of humor - you should probably have a pretty quick wit and a good sense of humor also.
I'm listening more to country, rock and 80's lately but I still like most anything except for rap and some of the newer pop (some is pretty good, but not a lot).
In my eyes, the "ideal" this could work would be me replying to an email or wink, a few emails and or phone conversations to establish mutual interest followed with a face to face meeting to see if that spark is possible.
*If you've "caught" me checking out your profile and you like mine, go ahead and wink or something and I'll respond!*
If for some reason you can't email, go ahead and simply wink or try emailing me another way.
