How would you describe yourself?

All your questions answered!!
-Let's get right to it then. Tell us: what are you?
I'm a photographer.
-Uh... Oh. No... We didn't mean like that. No, what ARE you?
Huh? What are you?
-... Nevermind. So why are you here? What are you looking for?
What... Is this where I'm supposed to make my "Tall, Low-Fat Mocha seeks Non-Fat Vanilla Latte for long-term caffeinated fun" type pitch or something?
-Hasn't anyone ever told you that you can't answer a question with a question...?
Yeah yeah yeah. I suppose I'm more like "Foul-mouthed Anti-social ::censored:: seeks Self-centered Minx for mutual torment" or something like that instead...
-You don't... You don't REALLY mean that do you?!
Of course not! I'm being facetious. What I mean is that I'm less interested in being "cute" with this thing and more into being honest.
-Interesting phraseology. So what is "honest" anyway? Is "de Santos" even your real name?
Okay, I can see where you're going with that. No, that's done out of necessity. When I say "honest-over-cute" I'm referring to the fact that dating can sometimes be a game where facades & masks prevail. People only let go and get honest after they're comfortable (or, ironically, when they're breaking up). I'm not that patient; I want to be honest up front.
-Waaaiitasecond. Now we get it!! You've got some ISSUES, don't you?!
No.
-Cooomme ooonnn! You can tell us!
Calm down. That's the truth. My dating experiences have all been positive. Sure, every now & again you spend a few weeks seeing someone who makes you think "What the ::censored:: was I thinking?" but I don't allow relationships like that to continue to the point at which it does something to me. No, my relationships have all been pretty healthy. Sometimes two cool, intelligent, wonderful people get together and it just doesn't work out. It happens. I'm just a perceptive person who's willing to admit that some things we've come to accept about dating are largely counterproductive if we really analyze them.
-Fair enough. We do get the sense that you're avoiding the question of "Why are you here?" though. While it might be obvious, isn't it worth addressing?
I suppose you have a point. To this point, I've enjoyed my life in a fairly self-centered manner. Not in an egotistic sense, I've merely been experiencing life in a very individual fashion. And that's fine. But I do think it would be fun to have someone share in some of these experiences with me.
-Now we're getting somewhere. Experiences like what?
Well, there was this one time a couple of years ago when I built a house for an elderly couple who lived in the rainforest in Costa Rica. Or when I worked to build new homes for Katrina victims in Mississippi. That time I did photography for the United Nations was pretty cool too, I suppose.
-Are you serious about all that? A house in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle? You've got to be joking. Did you reeeaally do that stuff?
Of course, I'm serious. I don't tell jokes; I just stand bewildered as people laugh after hearing me tell the truth. Besides, it would've been nice to have had someone there to hear my dying words if I'd been bitten by that Coral Snake that I almost stepped on...
-Not going to argue with that. A question: do you think this description is pretty long? Do you actually think anyone's going to read all the way through this BS?
If you measure your standards of length with a yardstick named "twitter," then perhaps it is too long. If so, I wouldn't want to talk with someone like you. I'm more interested in people who are well read and devour knowledge. Someone like that would have no problem reading to the end of this. I've never been accused of being a man of few words anyhow. A woman should know what she's getting into.
-How very thoughtful of you. We're curious though, that thing you said previously -what was it?- "Decaf soy non-mocha..." blahblahblah somethingorother? Did you actually mean anything by that? Freudian slip? Was that a hint? Do you have a particular preference at which you were hinting?
Having trouble with that one, are you? Seriously? Look, I don't even drink coffee so what do you think? Read in between the lines. This site certainly functions on the pretense of SOME sort of preference, doesn't it?
-... Huh? But... No, we mean... Oh, so... It was a metaphor then, right? We get it. Are you really an anti-social loser?
Ha! No, I thought it sounded amusing at the time. I do, however, have a potty ::censored:: mouth.
-Oh my. There's just no proper response for that is there?
Guess not. We done here?
I am looking for
I've changed this section for the sake of clarity. We all have our preferences and whatnot.
I like women who are true to themselves and who they are. A woman who is not trying to mimic the stereotypical traits of a given ethnicity. I just want her to be who she is. I don't speak in broken English or that sort of thing and, as such, like women who know when and where to employ semicolons. I like athletically fit women. This doesn't mean you HAVE to be in the gym 5 times a week (I know I'm not) but as I actively try to maintain good health and form, I like someone who values that as well.
I like women who are well-read intellectuals. Someone who has aspirations, even if she has not yet attained them (aren't we all works-in-progress?) yet still feels the immediacy of "now" and takes time to enjoy life as it unfolds. Though I don't do it enough, I love to travel; it would be great if you were the type who was up for tossing a weekend bag in the back of the Jeep and hitting the road for a night or two on a whim.
Family should be important to you, which refers to yours as well as developing one. I do not have a rule on current moms. I've dated single mothers before and there's no across-the-board thing I could say about it. It's not a deal-breaker as situations vary.
And though I'm very open-minded, I can't be seriously involved with someone who isn't of the Christian faith. Doesn't mean you need to be in church 4 times a week or even each Sunday, but it should have value in your life. Even if it's different from my own, I fully respect and appreciate your religious beliefs (or lack thereof) but at some point it would be an issue that we don't share the same faith. That's just being realistic.
