What do you have to offer?

It's been fun to be part of this group and see all of what us want and hope for in a mate. A lot of us seem to be seeking the same things, honestly, sense of humor, not being an *kitten*...
I realized this morning though that I need to shift my thinking a bit. Instead of a laundry list of what I want, I decided I need to make a list of what I can offer. I have no control over what someone else is or chooses to be but I can make myself the most appealing me I can be to be of interest to the sort of man I hope to end up with.
Here's my list-
I am super loyal.
I am honest, but have tact.
I am a thinker and like to learn new things.
I have varied and interesting experiences.
I'm generally an optimist.
I enjoy making the world around me better and more lovely.
I make the best apple pie in the whole wide world. For real.
I am not a spender and appreciate simplicity.
I'm relatively low maintenance. I do get my hair done a few times a year and I like my baths and lotions, though.
I willingly admit when I am emotional or irrational, leaving an opportunity for a man to take cover until the storm blows through.
I'm quick to forgive an honest apology.
I get along great with parents and extended families. Grandparents are my specialty.
I have good manners and am thoughtful of others.
I've got a great rack.
I appreciate honest work in whatever form it takes.
I believe in pulling my own weight.
I enjoy dressing up but love to live in my jeans.
I like to laugh.
I try to make others feel comfortable and important.
Ummm...I can drive a standard transmission and change my own oil?
Anyway, that's my list. What do you have to offer?

This is great! After my divorce, this is an area I really focused on (and still am). I made many mistakes in my younger years before my marriage and during my marriage. I'm glad I get a new start and a chance to love again.
When I was younger, I loved very selfishly therefore, I don't know if I know what love really is... so here's my list.
I will cherish their heart if they choose to give it to me by being kind, uplifting and by providing emotional support.
I'm a fun gal! I know how to have a good time whether it's at home, hole in the wall bar or whatever.
I'm active so I will participate in sports, hiking, etc. I don't mind getting dirty.. not one bit. Soccer in the rain! YES!!
I'm a girly girl. I will dress up for you.. I won't get "frumpy".
I have a good job, my own place, and a car. I'm independent. I will even pay for your drink every now and then.
I consider myself to be attractive. I will make you proud to be with me.
I have a great family. No crazies. We're loud and annoying but we love each other and you will NEVER be bored at a family function!! And they don't even drink! lol
I like my alone time. Yes, I'll want to spend time with you but I like my alone days too. Or my girly nights out.
Ummm I love sex. I'm not ashamed of it. Have no hang ups. I will rock your world. (I'm in my prime at 32!)
Underneath all this, I'm a sweet good girl. I can get wild and I laugh a lot... but I'm a sweetheart.
I bake awesome cakes and cupcakes!! I decorate them and will make you every b-day!
I am spontaneous. I enjoy trying new things.
I'm loyal. I will stick with you.
I'm not a bitter woman. I love men. I want one of my own one day. What happened in my past doesn't dictate my future.
I'm intelligent. I can carry a conversation with you.
I have an awesome sense of humor! Seriously!!!
I'm very optimistic. I get excited about little things.
I love to travel.. I love exploring even in the heat or the cold.. I love it.
I have learned to communicate my needs in a more healthy way.
I'm confident and won't freak out when there's a hot girl in the room, as long as you're respectful of course.
That was a lot of tooting my own horn. haha0 -
I am a great friend.
I can fix just about anything.
I can listen.
I know how to treat a lady.
I am a gentleman.
I am responsible.
I like quiet moments.
I like holding hands.
I like walking in the country.
I love to make people laugh.
I am not a fussy eater.
I know how to cook and clean for myself.
I can see peoples feelings.
I know what being alone is so hope would never take the company of a lady for granted.
I make sure she is taken care of if we are intimate.

La_Amazona- Goodpoint about the bitter women thing. I know a lot fo ladies like that. I don't think I'm bitter, either. I like men.
Carl01- Being able to fix everything and taking care of the lady are awesome. You should get business cards listing those attributes!0 -

Supplying photographic proof is not trashy or cheap. It's supporting a statement of opinion. I wanted to make it a statement of fact. Sheesh, kill me for being methodical in this what can you offer thread. lol

At a bar called O'Malley's
