Single woman looking for real relationship.

Yep, I said relationship. You know, as in long-term, committed, involving love. Whew! If that's not enough to scare off the players and the phone sex folks, nothing will.:-)

Seriously though, I'm a 33 year old single woman, no kids, never married. (Just haven't found the right man yet.) I'm intelligent, easy-going, and have a decent sense of humor. I like strange things like good conversation, spending quality time together, even if it is just reading or watching TV, and more.

I hope to meet a man in his 30's or 40's. I've always liked quiet, maybe even shy, men. You need to understand that I'm looking to get to know you, not just to, "Hook up." You need to be willing to put in the time and the effort that a solid relationship requires. I'm not looking for a sugar daddy here, but I do want a man with a decent job, a contributing member of society.

If you'd like to know more, then feel free to ask me. I'll answer with fortherightness and honesty, and I hope to receive that same courtesy from you. So, until we meet...:-)

You sound way too intelligent for any of the men on this site, well with the exception of a few who are already taken.

Good luck.

Thanks for the good luck wish buckeye fan. And, who knows, even if I don't meet Mr. Right, I've still got a chance at meeting some good friends. It's a win/win situation.:-)

Good luck.

May I suggest that you post a topic in the "getting to know you" board and see if you might make some friends that evolve into a relationship.

Thanks for the suggestion Bob. It's a great idea. Now, I just have to figure out how I missed that board when I was scrolling down the boards list. *Looking for a mirror to see what an idiot looks like. GRIN*

Ok, wow! Maybe I need to find a way to delete this post. I received a very polite introduction from someone here, who is from another country. I spoke briefly with them, saying that I had strong concerns regarding the distance and the cultural differences. The person told me that I should not reject them without getting to know them first. Finally, I said tnat, though I don't understand why it is, when it comes to relationships, I find myself primarily attracted to caucasian Americans. I said that I did not wish to imply that I was prejudice, but it was just how I felt. (I didn't use the old southern standby about how I have lots of "black friends." That wasn't what I was trying to explain.) I'm not attracted to women either, but I don't hate women, nor do I have anything against lesbians. It's just not what attracts me personally. This person told me that what I attempted to express reminded them of the views of the KKK and the John Birch Society, and stated that they were glad they weren't an American. Do any of you out there understand what it is that I was, apparently quite badly, attempting to express? How does one explain one's physical attractions? I don't know why I'm attracted to those I'm attracted to, or, in many cases, why I'm not attracted to those I'm not attracted to. However, if that is what is going to happen here when I attempt to explain why I am not interested in going further with someone, perhaps this is not the place I need to be. Any coments/thoughts are welcome.

Given what I've seen of your posts so far, you seem to express yourself very articulately. You know, there are just some people in the world who are convinced that they are God's gift to whatever, and that anyone who doesn't like them has the problem, not them. So don't worry about this one person. There are nice people on here, and elsewhere, who have an I.Q!. higher than their shoe size and who will appreciate and understand you.

Thanks Buckeye Fan. I do want to say though that I was not intending to attack the person I spoke with. As I said, they were polite for the large majority of our conversation, and I feel that they are quite intelligent. My post was meant more to ask, do those of you out there understand what I attempted to communicate? In my opinion, because of what happened, I must not have expressed it correctly. Please don't attack or demean anyone, including me or the person I spoke with. I'm only trying to ask, do those of you out there understand what I was trying to say? Are there others of you out there who feel that, because I'm attracted to primarily caucasian American men in their 30's-40's, that I am a racist? Understand that I am willing to accept criticism, as it is all part of learning. So, if you feel that because I'm not attracted romantically to women, or to younger men, or to whatever you wish to fill in, that I am prejudiced or racist, I invite you to please express that to me. That was what my post was about, and NOT about attacking or attempting to demean the individual that I had contact with.

lol good luck finding someone inteligent and/or even mature on this site. As Becky I think, already said, all of the ones around your age, and heck, even younger, are already taken.

I understood what you were trying to say. Everyone has preferences and should understand that others do as well. Some men prefer blondes, others prefer red heads, etc. Attraction to a certain race, body type, etc. is personal and difficult to explain, but we all have our preferences.

Post 12 by Chris N (I just keep on posting!) on Sunday, 10-Dec-2006 2:18:45

Elara,

I definitely understand what you're trying to express. Like ot or not, we all have our preferences when it comes to attraction. Some people fit those preferences, and others do not. I think that this is a totally natural thing and that you shouldn't be demeaned for it. If you mistreat an entire class of people, that's one thing, but in my opinion that isn't what's happening here.

Anyway, good luck. This site has all kinds of people from various backgrounds and in various situations. It's a blessing in some ways and, especially in terms of the drama, a curse in others.

Elara based on your physical description, 5 4 260 pounds, you need to find a man who likes riding mopeds since you are one, fun to ride but don't want your friends catching you.

Ok, I find myself having to be serious here. I'm not sure it's racist but it is in my opinion a form of predudice. You primarily find yourself atracted to one group of people hopefully because of their personality trates not their colour or race. so why not get to know a person of a different race? why not put in the time you are asking of the guys? you might find a decent friend, you might find a future life partner.


I used to think it could be a sign of racism that I wouldn't date a black/asian person, until one day I met one that just made me go oooh, I never dated them, but it proved to me, that actually personality wise, they are no different to the rest of us. So, don't be shallow, give it a go, if the person is willing to see how you get along.

Having a preference for one type of person or another is not prejudice at all. Prejudice implies you are hostile or hateful or have general ill will towards certain people you do not prefer, and I just don't think this lady is into that at all. But whatever.
