Profile Renovation Time

I was sitting with Sara last night discussing why I am not super popular on match.com. Her suggestion that I had a picture up that screamed I'm short and chubby (why I insist on wearing my green Oregon sweatshirt in almost every picture baffles me) and that I sound like an "earth mom" did not fall on deaf ears. So I revamped the old profile this evening and went a different route. I submit for your reading pleasure my brand new profile intro.

In order to simplify things, I am going Dave Letterman style Top Ten List for the Intro part of my profile:
10. I am female. It’s a basic requirement for most men and I am proud of it.
9. I have a healthy mix of fear of commitment and the desire to be with someone. There is no real rhyme or reason to which I feel in a given day, but it keeps things interesting.
8. I have a sorted professional history that includes rehabbing houses. I can do basic plumbing, lay tile, lay laminate flooring, hang sheet rock (I can finish it as well but made a personal oath to never do it again), and I am a skilled carpenter. I have the paper certificate from a community college to prove it!
7. I have all the sarcasm that you can want from being born into a Northern family, but the southern hospitality of being raised here.
6. I bake…
5. I tend to call people pumpkin and darling a lot more than I should. With that being said I can turn on a fantastic southern accent.
4. I have a huge collection of dangly earrings. That might not matter to you but it will impress the girls in your life that you insist on putting in your profile pictures.

3. I own a wii
2. I love football. Not the love football scheme that a lot of girls have taken on because they know it will impress you. Without you, I will love football. I buy my own hot wings and watch it all by myself. I would tell you my favorite team but I am in mourning right now and just can’t talk about it.
1. My job allows me a bountiful discount on pasta. Really, we’re talking all the pasta you can eat at a fraction of the cost of Olive Garden. (No I do not work at Olive Garden)

This seems to hit most of the important things…oh yeah; I don’t take myself or most anything to seriously.


This seems to wrap me up in a nice witty package, if I do say so myself. Don't disagree with me because after the short chubby earth mom description that Sara threw at me, I can't seem to find that last bit of self esteem I had left before the divorce.

Anyways, I was only viewed 24 times today. I was however "favorited" by an interesting chap. Match guy "adventureswithin" is working that mid thirties I let myself go but threw on this shirt from Express for my profile picture look. So advantages, he is divorced with two kids. So I know he has some sense of my life. His income is listed as $150,000 which is both an advantage and disadvantage. He has a job, but I can't say I like rich dudes. If I hooked up with him and we were walking through the mall we would totally get the "he must be rich to get her look." But I think what has sealed the path of rejection for him, that is of he ever gets the balls to actually contact me, is the model type head shot that is his profile picture. Its just to much...

  1. Wow, sorry, I wasn't trying to make you sound like a fat earth mother - I was totally trying to be helpful and not critical (come back last shred of confidence, come back!). However, I think your new profile rawks and now we need some photos with hot looking guys so we too can say 'we've fucked a 10'.
