    I'm an intelligent, competent, well-traveled/multi-lingual and gracious lady in the drawing room, an excellent cook in the kitchen, and could be quite kinky (i think!:laugh: ) in the bedroom. Isn't that supposed to be the holy grail?! Add to that being a well-endowed natural blonde... By all the stereotypes, I should be fighting them off! hey ho...

    I want to bring out the best in both of us
    Im tall and worth the climb
    When I walk into a room people look at me
    When I walk into a concert, everyone (inc theband) hugs me and starts inviting me to amazing events and parties
    I work hard on my mind, body and personal growth
    I have a salivating need for adventure
    I dont have any naked hangups or weird fetishes
    I can completely lose myself in sex
    I effing love giving a *kitten*, and im not just saying that. I crave it.
    I love sports - watching and playing
    I love trying new things
    I never correct you in public
    Or tear you down
    When I talk abotu you to other people, its always about how amazing you are
    I can pull off a little black dress and heels like someone is paying me to do it
    I always say awwww when you get hurt
    Im half Italian and can cook with a natural talent that even surprises me
    Im fiercely protective of my independence and insist that we spend time apart to get hammered with our friends with no reporting in
    Ive traveled and lived in lots of places so I have no hesitation about doing it more
    I dont call names or belittle you when we argue, why would I when you have my heart
    When I have a problem, I talk about casually when you arent busy with something else, distracted, just walked in the door, in the middle of a game, etc - and I start it all with "i" instead of "you" so you dont accidentally think Im accusing you of something.
    I believe that a man and a woman DO compliment each other, sometimes the man has to be allowed to put down the reins, and sometimes the girl has got to be able to put on the pants.
    I believe you and I believe in you
    Once IM yours, you'll finally realise what it means to have someone get your back.
    Once IM yours, Im yours. No matter how bad the storm gets- cause I already see your shining face on the other side
    Im funny and quick and I love to learn
    I love quickies and all nighters
    I love tv marathons as much as skydiving and barhopping
    Ive been financially independent and self-reliant for 16 years
    Im brave
    Im sassy
    I call you on your bullsht but I'll be sweet about it
    I'll never leave you wondering if I even notice when you try...

    Jeez how was that OKC contact list only 600 guys. It should have been well over 2000.

    I am a catch because...

    I'm down to earth
    I'm pretty straight forward and communicate well in a relationship
    My sex drive is way higher than average
    When I do commit I give everything I got and am faithful
    Im genuine and just a good peep all around which is hard to find
    I have never and will not date a man for money or status
    I am not a charity cause and don't expect guys to pay for everything. I do pay.
    I do random nice things to show I care

    - The shoes on my feet, I've bought it
    - The clothes I'm wearing, I've bought it
    - The rock I'm rockin', I've bought it
    - I depend on me

    (Kind of surprised no one's used these lyrics already :P)

    I have been going back and forth about posting on this thread because some days I feel like I am a catch and others I would rather jump off a cliff than date.

    Well, anyway, here goes:

    I am a catch because:
    - I am funny, not in a haha way but in a sarcastic, catch you off guard way
    - I am very intelligent but still have my stupid moments, it's endearing lol
    - I am a great mom
    - I am a good friend
    - I am a good listener
    - I am ambitious
    - I am passionate
    - I am attractive
    - I have great boobs
    - My tattoos are sexy
    - I am generous
    - I am thoughtful
    - I have a huge heart
    - I am not adventurous but am pretty willing to try anything once
    - I am a good cook
    - I am a nurturer
    - I am goofy as hell
    - I think I am a fun person to be around
    - I am insightful
    - I am pretty financially stable
    - I can be very assertive
    - Essentially, I am pretty awesome

    yes. my ex was working on his before and after we got married, and had our first daughter. it was hell. he was impossible to get along with, tired, mood, cranky, ALL THE TIME. it got to the point where we couldn't even live together, because he was so nasty and mean. he would NOT have sex with me, but jerked off to p0rn on an extremely regular basis.......

    wouldn't join us for my daughter's first birthday party and when i expressed being sad by that fact his response was " well, do you ever want me to get this phd done?" her party was 3 hrs long, and in aug. he defended his phd in LATE october.

    someone mentions the letters P H D to me, and i just go glassy eyed. been there, done that, NEVER doing it again! if you already have one, fine. but, i'm not gonna be the significant other to someone working on theirs...............

    so, for me, that drive for level of education does NOT make someone a catch.
    i had a guy who was interested go on and on about his degrees. and then said something about going for a phd. that made me immediately disinterested. not because there is anything wrong with that, but because i've already been there, and done that and will NEVER do that again!!!

    .... You seriously lost interest in a guy because he wanted to pursue a PHD?

    I don't know if you know this, but your ex probably would have been an asshat whether or not he was pursuing a PHD. But hey, I'll snatch up those go-getters if you don't want 'em ;)

    you could be totally right, i don't know. will never know, since he did get it. we met the year he got his undergraduate, he was nice and normal. the next two year i finished my degree and he got his masters. the losing it started somewhere at the end of that. but, it was the years of the phd that just made him into a totally different person.

    it's really quite sad to be honest :-( and no, i didn't get stuck with any of his debt, but yes, he does owe A LOT of money. he's also the guy that got his phd at 28!!!! so..........

    it's not that i'm anti motivated or go getter, love those qualities. i'm just anti phd while in a relationship :-). i still would take the guy that loves his job, is happy with his life, and thinks that he's a pretty lucky guy, over the guy that has the degree, hates what he does, works 80+ hrs a week, has loads of money, and is beyond miserable. :-(

    I suppose it's only fair, I have the same type of negative association toward the game Eve Online. I do agree that a man who loves his job is a far better mate than someone that hates his job and only does it for the money.

    Not necessarily. There are legal steps to take to ensure that one spouse doesn't take on the debt and can't be held responsible for the debts of the other.

    It seems like the girls here are a bit more upfront with their sexuality, at least from what I've read when lurking. I listed sex as a con in the other thread, so I though I would list something positive in this one,

    Sex is super important...

    I am tall with broad shoulders and a lot of muscles.
    I am well educated.
    I can usually get to the root of a problem even if it isn't explained very well.
    I have a good income.
    I have a car.
    I have a house (well I have a mortgage and the bank lets me sleep there).
    The value of my assets exceeds the value of my liabilities.
    I know how to get a woman off, repeatedly :tongue: .
    I am polite, courteous, and listen.
    I am well traveled. I've even been to East Berlin. Yep. Before the Wall came down.
    I am generous and affectionate.

    Read Yoovies list of Pros, she made it sound good, not: (nerd voice ---->) Well, I really enjoy sex... I just can't seem to get enough of that gosh darn stuff. She made it seem like your ****ing head will explode if your in bed with her... if your going to talk sex make it dirty or it just isn't much fun.
