Why here on POF? A friend of a friend of a friend knew someone who helped develop this site and was telling me about the algorithms used to determine your matches... apparently accentuating a feature that makes you distinct results in a higher yield in terms of successful pairings, rather than making yourself look closer to whatever "average" looks like. The logic behind this was that if your distinctive features are presented on your profile, only those "other fish" out there who don't mind or find that aspect of you attractive will contact you, whereas making yourself look & sound like everyone else makes you, well, just another fish in the sea. I was intrigued and figured it was free to sign up, so why not check it out? So what's distinctive about me? Ummmmm, I guess here are a few things that come to mind:- I didn't like chocolate when I was young.; Sweet Tarts I should get in exchange for giving them a MilkyWay/Snickers/Twix/Rolo/(other candy with chocolate and mass produced caramel). I now like dark chocolate, but only very small handful of caramel creations.- In case you couldn't tell by now, I still don't always heed my 7th grade English teacher's advice to avoid run-on sentences. I do appreciate proper spelling and grammar.- I don't say "y'all." I moved to NC for medical & graduate school, and it's both the farthest south (in the US) and farthest from a coastline I've ever lived in my life.-round.- I'm pretty darn good at getting all of the lobster meat out of the shell. - I can be stubborn: I pushed my car home when the clutch gave out *** calling for help like most people would rationally do. I generally enjoy figuring out how to make things work even when I don't have the best resources at hand. - I lived in France, Tanzania & - I've been told that I'm usually "one or two ingredients ahead," meaning I almost always think about what else would add a nice touch to whatever food is at hand. I appreciate a thoughtfully-prepared meal, but also am a sucker for simple deliciousness like s'mores, popcorn, tortilla chips, and popsicles.- I'm comfortably conversational in French and Swahili.- I don't leave the water running when I wash dishes or brush my teeth. Somewhere, it's draining some fishes' water habitat. - I love the smell of coffee but don't drink it.Anyway, there are some tidbits about me. Happy fishing Fun, food, something new? Low-key is best, and I like checking out places I haven't been before.

I find it hard to talk about myself but I'll try. Most importantly God and family come first in my life and everything else follows. I find that when you focus on the right things then good things are more likely to happen. I try to find the good in everyone and give people the benefit of the doubt but everyone has a limit. I'm a laid back type of girl. I'm content going out on the town or just staying home watching a movie. I do enjoy watching basketball and football but basketball is my favorite sport. I love to travel and I have an artsy side. For me life is about enjoying the little things and finding peace and happiness at the end of the day. We could go to a sports bar and watch a game...

OK new update***. Hobbies- making fun of people for various things that they can and should help, such as***Stupid tattoos (not all tattoos are stupid, just that ***Lame pick up lines (Yes I'm from around here, sure you can buy me a drink, no I don't want to see your waterbed****** are unavoidable, you have to do it at least once in your life if you have succumbed to the ***, but do you have to mention your current grudge, your annoying (generic pop star) lyrics stuck in your head, or your scab? Really, I don't care. Well, if calling out your latest grudge is going to lead to some ***, then yeah, actually I do care.***Making the duck face in every single of the ***party pictures of yourself in various forms of the same pose in front of the bathroom mirror taken in under 3 minutes with your Blackberry. Or is it Blueberry? Whatever that phone is called. Damn my prepaid piece of crap. Please don't get me started on the mirror pictures. - Unruly kids (It's called discipline! I'm pretty sure it's still in the dictionary so LOOK IT UP!***People talking on their cell phones while checking out of a store or having their order taken at a restaurant. (Just because everyone does it does not mean that it isn't rude as hell!!***People who don't like animals. (What's not to like?***Complaining about everything or joining a dating website and then filling it with a list of gripes of what you hate about people...Whoa. Epiphany. Guess I'll just wrap this up really quick with - Unkind, uncompassionate, drug or alcohol addicted, humorless, and negative people. Oh, and people who don't proofread.If you fall into any or all of the above categories, please move on! No I'm not picky, I just need a guy to fit all of my very specific preferences! Is that too much too ask for?? Oh and no food smackers please! Or I will smack you!OK I got the pet peeves out of the way. Well some, that's really just the tip of the iceberg. But here are some things that I DO like: - Smart people. This doesn't mean that we have to talk about the nature of physics every time we're around one another, I do like to talk about my hair sometimes. But there has to be potential to talk about something stimulating. - Good people. You like to go out of your way to help others, even if it's just in a smile or kind word? Awesome, you sound like my kind of guy. - Listeners. Some people listen, some wait to talk. You know which one you are. - Motorcycles. They're loud. They make that cool zipping sound when they race by. I'm still 15 at heart. - Meaningful and tasteful tattoos. Oh you got a tribal symbol? Oooh... hmm. Awesome! - Modesty. Both in accomplishments and in dress. Neither your greatness nor your body is that good, so get over it. - Action movies. Blow something up! Anyone who says that 12 Rounds with John Cena was a piece of crap is missing the bigger picture. He drove a firetruck through a Tiki bar. It was awesome. - Good music. This can be any kind, I have musicians in my family so I appreciate people with an appreciation for music. Only liking one genre of music is usually a warning sign to me. - People who brake for turtles AND snakes. People, it's a crime to kill a snake or any other animal purposefully, so let's not aim for them while they are innocently trying to get from one side of the road to the other. Just saying... - Math and science. What? I like it. - Let's see, what else... OK well I'm blanking so I'm going to wrap this up for now. I think it does a pretty good job of characterizing my tastes and personality pretty well. So if you are interested go ahead and send me an e-mail. But I almost never respond to one sentence e-mails and never to one word. So "Hey" is not gonna cut it. Unless you are really cute.Oh and word to the wise- if you have listed your profession as self-employed or chemist or some other type job like that and yet listed your education level as either not available or high school, then guess what? You sound like a drug dealer! It's not cute! The only kind of uneducated chemist I can imagine is making meth and that is so not cool! Sorry, just saw that and it irked me. First dates with a person that you do not know are HARD! I know, I have tried it a couple of times. They are not usually any fun, so I generally do not expect too much. They are just an initial encounter with a stranger to see what the attraction/chemistry is like, so a quickie meet at a bar or restaurant is fine by me. Something more original is good too, as long as it's in public :-)Let me add this- I really want to go to Adventure Crossing! Swinging at the batting cages sounds like an awesome first date!
