Online Dating: SummerSkirts

Online dating. I've tried it in the past, but for some reason, I could never get myself to actually make a date with any of my potential suitors. Something about the fact that I have no idea if the guy is the next Charles Manson or if he does weird things like stick gum behind his ear when he talks (yes that happened to a friend of mine on a date one time). But after my recent return to the country after a 2 week hiatus to learn that two of my friends had a total of 11 dates from online dating sites, I decided to give it a whirl again. After updating my profile on okcupid, a free dating site that one of my friends has had luck with (6 dates and none of them tried to pillage her), I thought for sure I would score at least one decent guys attention. Not even close.

Here is this persons profile. Or should I say Androgynous shim.

My Self-Summary
i am 6ft, musuclar and strong, kind, elegant and cultured man. i modeled for 5 years in my 20's.

i am looking for someone kind, compassionate, creative.

a special friend who understands that I sometimes have deep female instincts, feelings and desires that i can feel alone with.

i just think there are too many rules in life about gender, orientation and expression. i see beauty in many things.....

i am fun and grounded, passionate, know that i enjoy the smaller pleasures in life (a good walk, food, wine, design). i am a person of integrity and a great communicator.

i am married, but it is understood between us that that i have had a private, special friend in the past and may in the future.


This was followed by a slew of men over the age of 50 referring to themselves as Mr. as well as a guy who from my blackberry looked kinda cute. But when you take a closer look he had tattoos covering all areas of his body, including his eyebrows (I thought they looked a little painted on) and his chin. If I can figure out how to upload his picture on here, don't worry it will be done.
