I'm ready for something real. This is the first time I am really putting out there what I am looking for.
Me: swf from the midwest- small town usa. I am an ivy-league educated, master's level social worker who has lived in NY for 6 years. I work 2 jobs (Mon-Sat) and am fairly busy. I haven't been in a serious relationship for about a year and feel ready to be in one again. I want to be in love with a best friend. I am 5'9, 230 lbs. I have been working on my weight for awhile and have lost about 50 lbs. I want to lose about 40 more pounds. I think curvy women are very sexy. Most of the time I think I am attractive. My friends and people who love me say I'm beautiful. People who don't love me say I'm cute. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I am sarcastic and funny. I am 420 friendly/fan and hope you are too. I love dogs and am allergic to cats. Family is super important to me and I talk to mine almost everyday (I have no family here). I love reading, movies, watching tv, ice hockey, the theater, music... I love road trips and driving. I am currently discovering New England and it's great! Overall, I am real and have low tolerance for bull.
You: SINGLE black or latino man who is educated with a job. I am rarely attracted to white men and I won't apologize for it. You are looking for a ltr. You are passionate, smart, sarcastic and funny. I want someone to hang out with and watch movies, play games (no scrabble tho, I have dyslexia, sorry!), and LAUGH with. You respect women and love your mother. You know how to dress and take care of yourself. You are taller than I am. You are 30-43 years old. I don't care much about build, but am not looking for someone exceptionally obese. I like a man with some extra weight, but not so much that you can't go hiking or do the loop in Prospect Park. You like to stay home and relax much of the time, but go out on occasion. You are honest, kind, compassionate and generally care about people.
