It's a simple fact that most people are not good at telling other people about themselves. I know I’m not good at it .

I agree, most profiles that get really long and detailed have the appearance of being all the things they did not like about a past relationship. I know I have fallen into that a few times in the past, but typically when the break up was fresh. In time you realise that it makes you sound arrogant or way too particular.
It is also difficult to describe yourself on these sites without either giving a shopping list of traits you want or do not want, or else you end up sounding overly high on yourself...or you can just come across as strange. I never cared for the description part of the profile, and so this time around I was pretty basic. Figure the only real way to find out if I am right for someone is for them to contact me and start a conversation, from there basic questions get answers and you can then either walk away, or proceed further.

I do think that the older we get the more we define ourselves by our past experiences and relationships. We know what we like and don't like. What we want and don't want. It stands to reason that no one wants to repeat a failure or bad relationship. So why would you choose not to disclose these issues? If you do, then you are setting yourself up for another heartbreak.

I never criticized my ex or used his shortcomings for things in my profile i only spoke of all the things I am and would like to be and like to do.....many of which i was unable to do in my relationship. So these are things I want to explore. The flyfishing he taught me...still would love to do that...reading was his passion....I have a fonder love of books and literature....we both loved music and live concerts. Other issues at the root of our problems are never mentioned, but it took a long time for me to get my profile to reflect just ME. It must be a personality thing. My personality won't allow me to rail against someone in public or ask the reader of my profile to "qualify" first or only contact me in a certain way or whatever. I have a basic trust in people yet I know there will be very broad interpretations of what is funny, pretty, handsome, smart, cool, fun, etc. I figure it this way.....I would want someone to accept me as I am and know I only mean harmony so I give them a chance. I can usually figure out in the first few emails if there is a chance in hell we will click. If I still haven't figured it out then I meet with the thought that it will be either fun or a bust. I have never had a "BUST". We have always, to my knowledge anyway, left the meeting with smiles on our faces, hugs and best wishes. Being civil makes the world a better place. Whether I meet a boyfriend on not. But then again...I'm old....old people think that way. So get "Old" in your thinking. You'll feel wiser and that's a good thing.

Isn't life a wonderful mystery of discovery?
I Choose to do. I choose to discover.
The only real problem I have ever had is; when I want someone to stay, and they want to leave, and vise versa.
And the more I beat my head against that brick wall behind which I'm sure the answer lies; the more my head hurts.
I'm ready for my next discovery. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to find it on the "Ready Made Woman" page of DateHook-ups! Because too many of them haven't stopped trying to break that wall yet!!
