I think I might need a change in my dating profile description because as much as I had and still have no intention of turning it into an essay I still feel like I'm getting too many old men, cowboys and service men. I can come off as an elitist a lot of the time when I speak my mind on "paper" and that is often not far. In talking to JS last night I was trying to explain this tension I have in that while I respect that trade workers not only work hard but that they make good money, I know likely intellectually they're not on par. If I was 20 and just wanted to have fun and snog a few cute boys that would be fine. However, that is not the case now, and no amount of amazing snogging and other is going to keep a marriage alive. Especially not a marriage to me, who yes as a woman who has a libido now, is also fully aware there will comes days or months where I might be the size of a house carrying spawn and I want to know I can related and depend on someone. To talk through things - because I am a talker - that is how I process.
So anyway that's the plan for the moment to give this whole on-line thing the good ole grad school try.
I hear ya...
