    That is to help me over come my antisocial disorder.. lol helps people be let intimidated by me. I most folks just read the shirt, every once in a while ill actually get a hug, and it helps start conversations. I have a hard time starting conversations with strangers. I can never go to a bar, and just talk to woman there, I would die... lol

    Was reminded of another reason I am horrible to date last night. I don't believe any conversation should have to be "off limits" with my significant other.

    After reading through all of these I don't feel so bad.
    I've had a hip replacement at age 36 and it makes walking looong distances and stairs a problem but, I have handicapped parking sooo I get Rockstar parking everywhere I go, except SW Florida everyone has a handicapped sticker there.
    I have a dark sense of humor.
    I cuss like a sailor but I can edit it.
    I can talk to anyone about anything...so it may seem like I am flirting or interested when I'm not.

    because I am married, I'm officially on the "older" side, I have a fat mama budda jelly belly, I have five kids, I'm stubborn as hell, I can't often reign in my sense of humor (which is not always clean or politically correct), I will tell you what I think when I disagree with you, although I am able to do it in a non insulting way so there is that. Mostly I'm just a short chubby stubborn Polish chick who sometimes cries at commercials and gets mad at mean people.

    Substitute five kids for one, short for tallish and Polish for Irish/English and we're pretty similar.

    1. I expect the other person to be really funny and sarcastic, at all times. If we're at a funeral, it's ok for you to twerk on my lap to cheer me up. I don't care what other people think.
    2. I don't care what other people think.
    3. I don't date people with cars. I like to hunt, kayak, and be outside. How can we pull a boat or 4 wheeler with a car. Doesn't work for me.
    4. I'm just a biotch in general.

    This is true. She will demand you twerk at random times.

    I'll let my first day back on Tinder answer that one for me! :lol:

    As an experiment, I set my age rating from 40 (I'm 42) upto anything and I swipe right on EVERY profile until I run out of likes. 24 hrs later and..........hehe!

    wjpt1gronyb6.jpg

    Why not go a bit younger? I'm 31 and would be perfectly willing to go out with someone who is upwards of 42.

    The nature of dating sites is everybody wanting somebody at least ten years their junior - must be an ego thing. I think I must be the only person who goes for the 'five years either side of my own' approach. I'll be lucky if I match with anybody below the age of 50! :lol:

    I don't care much for younger guys unless they are extremely mature. I married at 18 and had a baby by barely 20. That makes a person grow up quickly. I've lived through a lot of crap, and can't stand immature kids. I can barely stand guys my own age!

    1. If I’m interested in someone, I will give them plenty of attention and expect the same.
    2. I quickly jump to the conclusion of “he’s just not that into you” and I lose interest if my attention isn't reciprocated.

    I'm married. But, a lot of people aren't "horrible to date". Just need to find the person (or people) you are complimentary with. And maybe a little therapy (since reading some of this thread). Hugs! Basically if I were dating right now the biggest barrier would be that I have a limited diet due to a malabsorption disorder. So, I would need to focus on non-food activities (things I can do without food being the focus). That's ok, just be creative and active. And I can't drink alcohol. But, that shouldn't be a problem. I'm fun and happy, and without alcohol I have better conversations anyway (in real life with people, mfp doesn't always have the most interesting conversation prompts). When I was younger I recall not having a good sense of direction being a potential issue, but luckily it was considered a cute idiosyncrasy. Also before my husband I had this "quirk" in which I was unable to sleep in a bed or room with any other person. I would stay until very early morning and finally just had to leave so I could actually sleep for a few hours before classes. People found this quirky about me, but again in a cute way. But, now I sleep best if my husband is there these past 18 years, and not as well if he isn't.

    I overthink.
    Also I feel the need to be up front and honest about everything. Like I want to expose all my flaws too soon as a kind of "this is me, take it or leave it" kind of thing.

    Because I am a lot to handle and I wear my emotions on my sleeve.

    : ( when someone's interested I tend to do that too. I think it's so that they cannot be the ones to point them out or use them against me later.

    I like to drink and chances are you'll have to drive. *shrugs* That might not be too horrible but it might be for some. B)

    This is how I am. Hi...you might like me..BUT......make sure you know this..and this...and this....just in case before you really decide.... (that and the married thing make me bad to date, plus mfp people make me cry a lot so Im too sensitive)

    I can be sensitive also. But, my husband tells me I am cute when I am feeling sensitive. So, that helps. Plus he just is very kind, supportive, and understanding. So it impacts me more than him. With all of these things, no one is "perfect", just need the compatibility to result in the good outweighing the "bad".

    Because I have a very defensive personality and I'll punch you in the stomach if you hurt my feelings. (or throat, whatever's closest) :)

    I'm always worried I will type something that I think is completely innocuous and return to find people horrified and creating stories about how I must be mean or something. And I try so much to be polite.

    Unfortunately I am the opposite (not by choice but by fate) of what anyone, has and/or should say, that they desire; to have!

    I expect at least a follow up, whether it be "Hey lets hook up again!" or "Sorry, I don't think we click." Don't ghost me.

    because im a giant. im 6'6" and 240lbs. it has its advantages for some ladies but others find it awkward...

    Iktf...I'm 6'8/6'9 and currently just over 400lbs. I don't even get to the advantages lol.

    I'm terrible to date because...
    I don't know how to
    I have major trust issues
    I'll never make a move or even show any real interest in a woman
    I'm convinced there's someone better than me out there for any woman I like.
    I'm quite obviously a little bit broken.

    Threads like these are great in that regard though, you see that most people are just as messed up but in their own ways.

    "Threads like these are great in that regard though, you see that most people are just as messed up but in their own ways."
    I felt the exact same way after reading through this thread. Everyone is a bit broken all for different reasons. The idea of working on confidence is great. Positive self talk is good. Meditation is great. I did a guided meditation for beginners for a week, then moved on to other guided meditations as I fall asleep. YouTube has lots of them. Don't get too cocky though. ;)

    I get overly emotional about Michigan football. I couldn't sleep for days when they lost to MSU last year.
