I do have a dog, Marbles, whos a wonderful little doggie.

I don't really see much wrong with your profile. It shows your sense of humor and what is important to you. I think if you change your profile and take out things you put in to it because YOU thought they were important is a mistake. Who cares if you get 100 emails a day from interested ladies? If they read a profile that doesn't truthfully represent you then aren't you wasting their time and yours? I would keep it as is and when the woman comes by who see it for what it is and likes you, then your 10 steps ahead already. And as for the dog thing, I know what its like to meet a great person, and then have them not understand how much you love your dog. It sucks! Get it out in the open so you can find a like minded person and maybe a new friend for marbles!

One comment I have is about your screen name. It makes me think of the part in Jerry McGuire where she breaks up with him because as she says "I met a wonderful man who LOVES my son, and he really likes me" Are you looking for someone to love you or marbles? Just my thought. If I saw a woman with a similar screen name like maybe "fluffyneedsadad" I'd run to the friggin hills. just my .02.

Who wants to come second to some dog?

I think you could well be laying it on a little too heavy with the dog loving

i prefer the temporary tattoos that wash off in a day or two.

Tattoos are a choice, but also reveal the kind of person they are.

I've already posted something on a similar subject, but I'll gladly say it all again! I don't get tatoos ,piercings and other mutilations. It's just one of those things that simply make you shake your head and go"why?!"

I have found it easier since turning 40 to find dates. In fact I find them where I'm not necessarily looking for them. I think your ability to find a date at any age is a factor that involves confidence, physicality, and peace within. I also think that when you aren't really " looking" that's when it most naturally seems to happen, probably because you appear happier and more self assured. Since turning I'd say about 37 or 38 I've found that I am more attractive to the opposite sex, of all ages, then I ever have been. I'm not any prettier, I'm still the same person and have the same interests I have always had, but I go after what I want now, and I " appear" to be happy and confident in doing such. I think that's what men are attracted to.

Sometimes, you have to put yourself back together, or you can't be sure it'll take. Besides, is it fair to ask some new woman to come along and piece someone together from a past hurt?

You probably don't get responses b/c you're fugly or you come on way too strong in your attempt to "get some."

As other poster have stated, unless you're an Adonis who shits money please don't expect women to be falling all over the place in submission. Yeah, you're probably gonna continue not getting laid unless you grow a brain, some maturity to match, and fix yourself up.
