37 [F4M] Asia/Anywhere - looking for green flags, anyone?
Im in the phase if I dont make an effort, things wouldnt happen - that is basically the gist of the last 4-5 years for me with dating and men.
Although Ive been told both a pretty face and a funny personality, I identify as hilarious first. I consider myself run-of-the-mill active person: run, gym, sports. I am a big city girl so if youre someone who lives like a recluse/hermit or aspire to live on a farm somewhere, that cant be me.
I am a little odd for reddit as I have no interests in gaming or board games whatsoever. I do love reading though, usually do about 10-15 books per year.
Tried dating apps, was made to feel like I am in a meat market. Honestly, if youre a man with nonchalant attitude and spotty comms, we wont work - this girl wont carry one sided conversations.
While I dont mind single parent and am one myself, my kid is 19yo and he is his own person. If youre a parent to young kid(s), I understand the commitment to raising them but I do not wish to play parent to young ones.
Im at the age where I actually do care how a man look after himself physically, mentally and emotionally as I put effort into looking, feeling, behaving good. Cliche but I do prefer taller men - it is what it is. A man recently was jilted by me and asked if I would be more keen if I know he made more than a million a year to which I replied while financial stability is important to me, arrogance and bragging is not.
Well I hope thats enough to start conversation without intimidating anyone. I dont mind distance, one of the perks working in aviation is the flexibility to travel. But I do mind halfhearted conversation, so please be decent in your introduction and messaging. Be within the age range of 34 to early 40s.
