Very casual and laid back. Not at all extravagant. More comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than a dress and heels - but I can pull both off very well! Don't do the club thing, left that life behind years ago.
I'm a single mom of two beautiful kids. Diehard FSU Seminole fan. I love to laugh and make others laugh. Sarcasm is my second language. i all so hav a thang 4 splling & Grammer! You don't have to be perfect (I certainly am not), but if you write like today's teenagers, please move on.
A few things that I've thought about since joining this whole online dating scene:
1. I've chosen nice pictures to represent myself on this site as I'm sure you have too, BUT I don't look like this every minute of everyday. I don't wear make-up daily so I posted some make-up free pictures, too. If you have no pictures, then we're on an uneven playing field and I won't respond.
2. My body is far from perfect. I have tiger stripes, I hate them but I'm also proud of them because I've given life. I need to get back into a workout routine (would love someone to motivate me and show me the fitness ropes!).
3. I'm attracted to intelligence but please have a nice balance of book smarts and common sense. Pretentious types need not apply. There's something about an intellectual blue collar man that is really attractive.
4. If you are a convicted felon, I will find out. Everyone makes mistakes but please be honest. My father is retired law enforcement, he taught me well.
5. Everyone says don't judge a book by its cover, but honestly, if you present yourself as a thug, I'm not interested. Tattoos, however, don't necessarily mean thug to me, but if they're on your face, I'm not interested.
6. Before starting this online dating thing, I had never honestly considered dating outside of my race, but only because I had never had anyone outside of my race really show interest. Having said that, race doesn't matter to me, character does.
7. Yes, I'm Black but there is so much more to me than that. My family has roots in Trinidad, Jamaica, Venezuela, India, Scotland, and of course Africa and probably some other places I'm not aware of.
8. If you are flashing your wealth, perceived wealth or material possessions, it will only turn me off. On the other hand, please have a pot to piss in.
9. I may know how to shoot a gun, but I'm a liberal. Like an I decide what I do with my uterus and I don't care who marries who as long as it makes them happy liberal. I believe that everyone should have a fair shot at life and success. If you believe that everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, then everyone better damn well have decent boots and straps.
10. Not into the metrosexual type, if your eyebrows look better than mine, we won't work!
Ok, rant over. I really am a down to earth, cool person, I just hate foolishness. Make me laugh and treat me right and you have a shot. Oh and physical attraction is important, too. Thanks for reading!
