Hello

From a mans perspective you sound in your description that you are hurting. Everyone that I know in the single life (I was given the opportunity to experience the lifestyle almost 10 years ago) has experienced a bad relationship or two.

In my past I was guilty making all inclusive statements about women that were not complimentary either. It was a good friend of mine that put put me straight with the question I will ask you. He asked me is it that women are bad? Or is your judgement in women bad? Or more importantly do you not trust your own judgement to try to date someone or are you too afraid to make a mistake and learn from it.

You cannot blame all men just like I was wrong to blame all women. Your picture is great. Tone down the anti man rhetoric. You can be clear about what you want without making people run away from you. I am sure you are a very nice person who has been hurt. My advice take the time to recover from being hurt, examine what contributions you are making when you choose someone to make sure there are no unconscious decision making that sabotages your happiness and then try again.

Good luck in your search...

I think it's one of the best I've seen in awhile. You're very photogenic & seem comfortable in front of the camera. A natural playful look. Think you have written in details of what you're looking for very well!:thumbsup: Welcome to Mingle!!!

It sounds like you're just sitting around, waiting for something to happen, rather than making something happen. Don't wait around.

a lot of people are afraid of too much honesty. It makes them nervous. It is a special man who you can really share candor with. If candor is important to you, then wait for him, or as singme suggested, find him

on here waiting is sometimes the choice we have. I am old school myself, and seldom make first contact. And I know all of the platitudes about that stance so I'm not asking for feedback about it

but it will make things take longer- or do as I do- participate in the forums and don't worry about it. Pursue avenues IRL also. Then if something does happen for you on here, you have an extra surprise flowerforyou

You look lovely but are not making the most of your attributes in your profile photo. The smile is great but you are looking down - it makes you look a little submissive/timid. I suggest a confident, sexy smile directly looking up at the camera from a lower angle will help you get the responses you deserve. Good luck!:smile:

YOU have a very pretty smile, but I have a couple of critiques.

First, Okam is right. The added face shots don't tell us anything new about you. However, I know your dilemma. I don't have a camera and there are no recent photos of me. I finally had to settle for a self-shot photo with my computers' web camera.

More seriously, I think the comment about being a white woman may have been a mistake. The very fact that you mention it raises the suspicion that race may be more than just trivial issue for you.

I am struggling with how much disclosure is OK in a profile. There are things about me that I feel people should have a right to know, but how much is too much?
