While I believe that the various material trappings many of us hold so dear, are not a true tell of who and what we are. I also need to live in my reality.

Pardon the extreme examples I use to illustrate my point.

If I were to stand on a freeway entrance dressed in someones dirty laundry with a sign saying "I need money for beer" then run downtown and wear an Italian suit at one of the Bistro's during lunch hour. Which would offer the greatest possibility of my meeting someone for a meaningful relationship, should I actually be in the market for one?

Generally speaking... I find that women around the age I would date, tend to be looking for at least some aspect of stability and self-support when choosing a partner. They also are looking for someone that demonstrates a level of self care. Especially in a man my age. I have no issue with either of these things. My ambitions, my achievements, how I spend my time can be a pretty good tell of the sort of man I am.

Likewise... When I am considering an intimate relationship with a woman. To say I don't look at her ability to support herself, her family (should that apply), and take appropriate care of herself... That would be a lie.

So.. Why would I expect something of someone else when I can't do it myself?

Ok Ladies.. you want an honest profile?? Here ya go. Right now I cant offer you crap except what might be in the tomorrow. As it stands today.. I dont have crap to my name. But you know what?? I have more heart..more desire..more hope.. and more soul than most people out there. Not just men either. Yeah you have the looks.. the money.. the house.. but you have no SOU:L!! You wouldnt know YOU if you passed YOU on the streets. I pity you types. And I dont ever want to be YOU. I am rebuilding ME from a harsh reality. Everyone on here.. talking about games..Well... no ****?? Who hasnt been gamed? Except for the gamers and they dont make a crap in the long end of the spectrum ,do they?? My bottom line in all of this drivel? Simple. A Man or a Woman isnt made up of what we have.. we are made up of WHO we are..inside.. does anyone understand that any more? Or has life and love been reduced to a bank account and muscles or boob size? Is there any diginity ..honor.. self worth left in this world?? Or has it all been reduced to material worth? To build on the words of a great black man: I have a dream.. and maybe someday..I will find some one ,like myself.. that understands that life isnt about what you have now.. its about who you will be tomorrow.. but that probably wont happen. I dont expect many answers from this except from the trolls that answer everyone.. and to them I say,, RE-READ WHAT I JUST SAID!!!

I simply must start out by asking why you did not post this in rate my profile?.......

You start out by saying you don't have "crap" to offer. Personally, I don't want crap. What a person has to offer is not limited to what they can provide. Anger and bitterness are certainly not too high on my list.

Me thinks you protest too much? As to the world of the material, I want a man who can support himself, in every way. I can support myself, in every way. What I seek is a person who can compliment me and enrich my life in a myriad of ways. If you believe women are after what you have, that is simply and utterly untrue and unfounded in a generalized sense.

Women in general want stability. If you have worldly possessions, that means you are ambitious, can manage your funds, and most likely do not suffer from a lack of ability to delay gratification. I will candidly admit there are those women out there who are seemingly after what you have, but trust me when I say it is more the qualities that those "things" represent than the items themselves.

You post, which is really just a cut and paste of your profile, seems angry, insulting, and attacking. I look within, but your profile shows (to me) that you are simply resentful of the material things rather than talking about who you are. That part seems just a defense to whatever inadequaties you are feeling by what you don't. I live my life very much by this creed, "Be happy with what you have and not by wanting what you don't". There is no sense in "shoulda, woulda, coulda". The key to life is in what you do, moreso in saying it and then doing it.
