When I started on CS, I got a lot of authentic approaches as in guys genuinely looking to hook up.
If we are talking about a mentally stable, employed guy without kids and a divorce that has friends and a good quality life - someone similar to my own circumstances - (and living not too far away).
If I wouldn't live abroad, I would live at home. My siblings and my niece live at home (house next door or independent apartments).
I loved living with the whole crew when I was younger, kids dropping in at mum's or my place and these days, my siblings keep an eye on my mum as she gets older.
I'm living too long on my own/with a partner only these days and would find it difficult to live with that many people. It has its positives and negatives.
A photo of someone gives you not just an idea about someone's look, but also about his lifestyle, if someone is well groomed or sloppy, sometimes charisma etc.
I haven't been with someone classically handsome, but someone that was attractive to me. I prefer a guy with a similar lifestyle and that looks after himself (though not into pretty boys). "Good looks" will not make up for a lack of character for me.
