As some may know, Im half English, and Half Irish, and proud of both parts.
I have travelled quite a lot, and seen different cultures. This makes me very aware of the advantages, and the disadvantages of each culture, as far as it effects me personally.
I find this country that we live in rather paradoxical now; we seem to want to be part of the European Union, be modern and hip, but deep down the values here seem to be very old fashioned, and rather set in its ways. It can be very frustrating.
Yes, I have a "type". You have to start somewhere, and so when you open your profile on places like this you have to state your preferences in looks..
However, thats not set in stone..
I've am discovering, much to my delight, that you can find yourself attracted to a "type" that was not your initial "type", and it works very well, thank you very much!!
So, yes, you have to start with a preference, but the most important thing is to keep your options open.
Younger guys may want me, but sorry, Im not interested.
I used to think age didnt matter, but I've changed my mind. Not because of their age, per se, but because the rudest, most illegible and "no effort" emails came from guys in their 20s..
I have been solicited, perved over and one young upstart even asked me why a "woman of my age didnt have children"..Jez..
So, nope, I want someone my own age or older. In my experience, they have better manners..
I think that we all (or should) think that that person is a "keeper"..if I had gone down that aisle thinking that he wasnt, then I would have been stupid.
Unfortunately, he wasnt, but there is no bitterness and that is just life.
I loved him with all my heart, never thought he would hurt me and trusted him completely. It still didnt work.
So, in consequence, I keep my mind open, and will grab happiness when I can and appreciate it one day at a time..
Perhaps the expectations of "Forever" weigh too heavily on some people..that is why I would rather just go with "Today"..
