I hate football ...

It's been a rather slow week this week what with the lead up to #SuperBowl50 yesterday. So, instead of watching  men in tight pants run around the field, I decided to evaluate myself in tight pants (i.e. re-read my online dating profile -- you know, just to see if I needed to spruce it up a bit). To my delight, I liked my profile just as much now as I did when I started it about 5 months ago. Here are a few of my favorite things about my profile:

Honesty: I don't like sports. I'm not going to lie and tell guys I do just to get them to look at my profile. I don't care about it and if that scares men off, then they aren't the kind of men I want in my life anyway. I like fashion and I like shopping. I will not hide that info for fear of guys not wanting to go shopping with me. Like I say in my profile, I don't care if you go hang out with the boys and watch/play sports, just don't make me go with you and I won't make you go shopping with me. Deal?

Humor: I use this very sparingly because people have different types of humor and oftentimes funny things said are lost in the verbiage of the text. For really good humor you have to see the person, their facial expressions. People who try to be funny and then end with smiley faces or "lol" need to save the humor for in-person.

Fact: Yes, I said my exact height and body type. I am not and have not been a size 2 for a long time so why would I tell anyone I'm "slim" or athletic and toned? I say I am "average" because according to the Center for Disease Control the average woman in the US is 5.4 and 166 pounds. I'm taller and weigh less so I'm average. I like knowing there is "proof" to my average-ness, thanks CDC.
