What I see... an angry looking man.

A profile that isn't finished. "Hi" and "will tell you later" isn't a profile text.

What I think... not a good profile. It really needs work, and a better photo.

In western countries it is getting very difficult to even define what a woman is .... leave alone her role in society !
Hopefully , this will change shortly and we again will belive that women are superior to men .... so no need to be equal to men .....

Not exactly true. As a matter of fact, not true at all.
Women are way ahead of men, as always is the case with the feminine. The feminine is always what changes first, then later on the masculine follows.
Not weird as if both would undergo changes at the same time everything would turn to chit. You need one group to keep things running so the other group has the time and space to change.
After they're done the roles reverse.

But in any case, maybe in the US things are vague. I know from my girl when she lived there that women in many cases were still inferior to men.

Over here however, there are courses, workshops, academies and so on about feminine strength, getting back in touch with that, feeling it, experiencing it and so on.

Also the Jungian psychologist Karen Hamaker-Zondag has written a book about the masculine in women and the feminine in men.
It explains in great detail what the role of women is in society, AND that of men.
She addresses both the imbalanced versions and how that pans out (very recognisable) and the balanced versions.
This book is over a decade old, and is basically Jungian psychology which is nothing new.

So women's role in society is well documented and known, that of men too.
In general women are further in their development to being the balanced version than men.
As it is the female forerunners cannot really progress until the masculine counterparts catch up and this is not really happening at the mo.
Meaning in order for the whole of mankind to get to the next level of our growth & evolution men need to get the heck on with it!

None of this is a dig, nor meant to be judgemental.
As I said, it's all researched, documented and so on. I'm just relaying knowledge & info.
Maybe this isn't so well known in the US.
Also understandable as the US isn't exactly a forerunner when it comes to the masculine & feminine.
I think in this case it's Scandinavia and The Netherlands.

Your choice of profile photo isn't great.
Go for the one with the neon yellow vest. That shows your face, a smile, much better photo!
I'm certain you'll get more interest with that.

As for the rest, fill out your profile. You need a profile text, there's nothing now.

Another thing that would put me off for sure: you are looking for relationship, dating AND intimate encounter.
I never ever get involved with a man who's also looking for easy & free sex.
I want a man who knows he wants love and a great woman by his side as a life partner.
If a man wants easy sex it says he's up for anything he can get his hands on, and thus not really all that serious. In that case he can sod off!

Now that's up to you of course. If that's what you want, fair enough.
But then you gotta accept that women who want a serious relationship (most) may pass you by.

Doesn't stand out, all rather superficial, and again a guy looking for free sex.
That's how it comes across.
Photos... would've been better if they'd show a happy man.
Your profile photo is way too dark.

Well, I'm pretty much done with it.
Took me a few session to get both the mist back in, properly this time, and do the foreground trees.
These were deep dark purple without definition, now they're dark green and you can see definition of trees in there.
This is more accurate as I could see the trees when I zoomed into the reference photo.

I'm calling it a finished painting, and I'm happy with it now!
As it is I'm okay to put it up for sale. The way it was, not so much, hihi.

I love Skyfall too!
Have seen it many times, hihi.
Javier is great. Both Daniel & Judy Dench said in an interview he was the creepiest bad guy ever, hihi.
He's Penelope Cruz' hubby. His head is about 3x larger than hers?!
I was amazed -kinda shocked- when he was at Graham Norton's and his English turned out to be very bad? But a lovely man nonetheless.

One of the great scenes in Skyfall is with Javier and Bond deep in the Tube when he blows that hole in the wall and that train comes hurtling in.
If memory serves they had to get that scene one right in one go, couldn't do it over.

Meeting someone who's looking for a serious relationship isn't a problem.
Finding someone like that who is also a good match is.

Such a good question!
And so easy to just blurt out stuff, hihi.
I've been thinking about this Q for a few hours now, believe it or not.

Conclusion is I love who I am as a whole, as a being. My energy, my take on things and life.
I've got a "the sun is shining" feel, I see or look for solutions and I am very creative.
I love the way I've consciously chosen to live my life which is not the mainstream way.

I am a work in progress, I love to learn (think Gregg Braden, Dr Joe Dispenza, epigenetics etc.), I'm not the kind of person to get stagnant and stale as I'm so eager to learn, grow & evolve.
And I love that about myself too :D

And thank you for your question.
Taking the time to think about the answer was time well spent!

Thinking... it's about time the sun starts shining again and for spring to begin.
Fed up with misty grey days, rain, strong wind.
Today is the 3rd misty day in a row.

Man with the Golden Gun says You only live once but Live to die Another Day ...Pierce Brosman is my favourite Bond

I like Pierce as well. Good actor, attractive, and indeed made a good believable Bond.

I actually belong to a James Bond forum. :grin::grin:. Do you have a favourite Bond actor, Julie?

Nice, Merry! I didn't even know there was such a forum :)

I happened to recently watch the ones with Daniel Craig again :)

I never watch the ones before that again, the real old ones I've never seen. Too bland and old-fashioned for my taste.
And I need action scenes to be realistic otherwise I lose interest.
That's why I love the Daniel Craig movies so much!

Not sure if I'll watch whatever or whomever they come up next.
Daniel Craig is a very tough act to follow.
And no more Judy Dench...

Also... I didn't like the political correctness of getting a black woman in as 007 in the last movie. I'm not a fan of the political correctness hype.

I beg to differ with that conviction as well.
We are not here to play it small, to live in subconscious fear that if we don't we will get punished (judged) later on by a god.
We are all part of the Divine and we came here, descended until we could live in a physical body on a physical planet to learn and still keep our vibration high, right in the middle of duality.
In other words: descend, overcome limitations and obstacles that duality poses, and to ascend again to a higher vibration. The vibration of Oneness, Peace, Gratitude, Love, Compassion whilst living in a physical body.

So far we've made a right mess of it although we have had a golden era long time ago. That era ended as some got into their egos.

But there won't be any judgement. There is no punishment.
You can, however, disappoint your own self and Soul for not living your full potential, or at least trying to do so.

Instead of dimming your light lest you won't get judged/punished, we're meant to stand tall, shine our Light, embrace the greatness that we are!
Dare to stick your head above the parapet.

Unfortunately religion are construed to keep people in (subconscious) fear and they use very sexy marketing to sell that.
Even the nativity story that Jesus was born in a stable.
Total BS, meant to make people think that it's okay to be poor and live in lack. After all even Jesus and his parents lived that way!

If people would only educate themselves they'd learn totally different things than their religion spoon-feeds them.
Learn to think for yourself. Get wiser. Evolve.

Indeed not much to rate, what little there is does not come across as appealing.
I'd be very very fast to click "NEXT!!!" when seeing this.

Even your nickname is off-putting.

Not meaning to offend, but you asked.

What my stomach is telling me: food!!!!!!

I'm going to have fries. I will have fresh greens with them, I'm not keen on meals without greens.
I'll make the fries myself, not from scratch, but airfryer.

My ex was married and divorced 3 times before me. We were not married long. He wanted a divorce and then married soon again. So his fifth marriage. He seems like a needy person.

Some are serial-relationship-hoppers.
My last partner was like that too. After his divorce -then 12 years ago- he'd had 5 relationships. Not real relationship, more 'situationships'.
Because of how it felt between us I was certain it'd be different with us. But nope...
And after me he moved on with another woman, nr 6 or 7. Eventually he did move in with her.

I do recall him telling me very early on he still loved his ex wife and that would never change.
I should've bailed right there and then.

I have learnt from it, I will never get involved with a bloke who's had umpteen relationships. It's a clear sign, a huge red flag, screaming he's not ready for a real commitment.
I think such men bugger off as soon as the woman wants more than he can or is willing to give.
And/or when she begins to notice & sense he's not really the team-player he should be but only superficially committed.

Then that would be an opinion!
Now I'll offer one of my own:

Women are often the patrons of marriage counselling - whether she goes herself, or forces her ol man to go "fix their marriage"

Marriage counsellors are aware of this, so they are taught to side with the women that they council... if they want to keep their money flow. If the therapist takes the man's side, the women tend to just find another counsellor until they side with her. Just dollars and sense :wink:

This "info" is also from a marriage counsellor.
Accountability is a woman's kryptonite

I wonder why you're even on a dating site? You're so incredibly anti-woman and seem stuck in feeling sorry for men (yourself?), always taking men's side even if they're painstakingly wrong.

Men should become accountable for their own shortcomings and stop pointing fingers.
If they did, maybe there'd be less singles looking for love.

Not saying women are always right, but neither are men. To go on and on blaming one gender is like driving on the motorway with a blindfold on and then blaming other drivers when you end up crashing your car.
