I am looking for a friend first and then if it progresses into a relationship, shall be it. The reason I've decided this online thing is because it is so hard to find quality men. I am looking for an independent, reliable, results-oriented, financially stable, honest, consistent, handsome, and hardworking man who is able to spoil me. Also I prefer for my man to be in shape, if you have a couple of pounds to lose that's fine to (not too many). We can work on the little stuff together, as long as you are willing and your personality compensates. A little about me, I think I can stand to lose a few pounds. Most guys say I have a nice body (thick and shapely, not fat). But although I don't think I'm really fat I still want to lose weight. This is my first time doing this online thing. It scared me at first but I am feeling a little more relaxed about it. As long as I am in control of the situation I feel that it's safe. There has been so many negative responses about online dating; a few are the people are crazy, they're not really the people in the pictures, etc. Well I believe in honesty and if you feel you must deceive me please don't waste my time. I am a woman who knows what she wants so if you don't fit the profile, I'm not interested. Also if you don't have a picture I probably won't reply. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, it's just that I don't want to waste anyone's time. I want to keep it real with you from the start. Looking For: I am interested in a man that is about something. Someone who has a job and career and knows how to treat a lady.
