Very well written. It's always nice when someone can write a good paragraph or a few.

Regarding your pictures--I have always had a bit of an issue with people who post pictures of their kids on a social site, especially if the kids are little. A lot of social sites discourage this, and some of them will delete the pictures if there are kids in them.

I've seen a lot of other profiles on this site that have pics of kids in them and I have just sort of bit my tongue and not said anything but I really think it's a bad idea. Of course you're proud of your kids and you don't want to lie about being a single dad; there's nothing wrong with mentioning it, and you should definitely mention it if you are looking for dates. But the picture is another thing; various types of bad people ranging from scammers to pedos will home in on people who include pics of their kids in their social site profiles.

I mean: Cute kids, and great pictures. If you were a personal friend or family member, however, I would tell you not to include them. Wait until you get to know someone a bit. Nothin personal, and of course you don't have to take this advice.

Otherwise good luck, and nice to meet you! :)
