I need some outside takes on my profile, especially from the feminine perspective. Because something sure seems to be off somehow... (or maybe it *is* just location...) Input please...? | |

Because something sure seems to be off somehow... What seems to be the problem? Your goals says you only want "friends", which implies that you are not interested in dating or any possibility of a romantic relationship. | |

| Just a little help. (take two) Posted: 6/15/2009 5:59:54 PM | Well, honestly, I'd have put down more than one selection, if that was an option. I'm up for most anything. I see that I'm likely to be counted out from a lot of people no matter what simply because I have to choose *one* option for "seeking", even though I'm open for everything. I just want to find people to click with. *wry chuckle* I live in the middle of nowhere, it's mostly a retirement colony out here. That sort of thing never bothered me until I wound up moving here, where suddenly younger, single, curious, and clean (re: dope) folk became a tiny minority. So seeing as I'm not into drugs, or excessive alcohol, etc.. I'm trying to find people to talk with, maybe get together if it goes that way... I'm a very honest sort.. I figured maybe I put too much on the table.. or something like that. I've been told that I do that, so it's something I watch for, but I'm not all that good at it. I'm me. | |

I live in the middle of nowhere, it's mostly a retirement colony out here. ...where, where suddenly younger, single, curious, and clean (re: dope) folk became a tiny minority. Yes, it can be very difficult to make friends in that environment, but it's not impossible. You should get involved in as many social activities as possible. The worst thing you can do is stay home hiding behind your computer.
Good luck to you. | |

| Just a little help. (take two) Posted: 6/16/2009 12:31:17 PM | True enough. I get myself out to Bisbee, and Tucson as much as possible. Especially Tucson. I've never been a city person, I a back-country sort. After this place, though, Tucson looks like a patch of paradise, especially the university district, and 4th for the creative crowd. I've got some people out there, I was just looking on here to maybe better my chances of meeting folk even when I couldn't be physically in the city. | |

Yeah, I actually worked on that sort of thing for the first few years being out here. I really wanted to make this place work, to find a niche here. They don't actually have bingo nights here, though. lol Crazy, huh? If I tried to tell you more about this little town, I strongly doubt you'd believe me. 'S all right, though.. I wouldn't have believed it either till I lived it. The best part of this area, though, is the gorgeous desert, and the Dragoon mts, and the Huachucas and such like. Glorious! It's just missing some factors I'd never have thought I'd miss this much back in California. There's some fantastic irony there.. 
I will try to get a new photo done. That was an attempted headshot, but the flash actually made it darker. It was the best of the batch, though, so I tried to fix it, but it started looking fake to me. Funny, though, I actually was smiling in that one... but not smiling big. I usually have sort of a mischievous half-smile, I don't often smile hugely. **shrug**. I might try to lighten that pic better, as well as adding the new pic. Might be awhile, though, I'm letting my hair grow out for a role in a short-film, so now might not be the best time for good pics. My profile is ok? Anything I could do better, other than the picture? Can I ask what you got from reading it? I mean, what your reactions were? | |

Can I ask what you got from reading it? I mean, what your reactions were? I actually learned more about you from reading this review thread than from your profile. You should put some of the stuff about living in Tombstone in your profile. I've actually been to Tombstone and I can imagine it might be hard to meet people there.
Good luck to you. | |

| Just a little help. (take two) Posted: 6/16/2009 1:49:23 PM | That was my first inclination, but it's difficult for me to talk about Tombstone without letting my irritation and all out in my words. I wanted a profile that sounded more positive, as I try to be.
I always figured that talking (er.. writing) with someone would let more of our personalities out, more than could be put into a "this is me" box. Makes sense, I hope. lol
Thank you for writing on my thread here, and talking with me.
I'd love to talk more, but that's your call there. ;) | |
