About Me

Everyone on a dating site should read this! "Life offers a surplus of things to do and several ways to meet potential dating partners. A city’s culture of abundance with respect to dating, is further perpetuated by online dating sites that make it easy to meet people that one otherwise may not have met. Ironically, while the option to meet new people increases, it becomes more and more difficult to build a serious relationship.Access to endless people through online platforms makes it difficult to decide who to date. The task of choosing is “debilitating” and once a choice is made, one wonders if it was, in fact the right one. Committing to a person becomes a herculean task, where no matter who one chooses, one will always see someone better. This opportunity cost is not just limited to a potential date – people are stereotypically busy, and have to choose between working, exercise, socializing with friends or, meeting a stranger to see if there is a 'connection'.Similarly, online dating sites create a sense of removal and apathy during the initial stages of the relationship due to the impersonal nature of exchanging inbox messages. Dating requires time and effort, and falling for someone requires repeated human interaction in several forms – making eye contact, laughing together and revealing something about oneself. The more investment one puts in a relationship, the more of a return one can expect to get out of it. A sense of removal means that personal interactions are fewer. Therefore, one has less of an investment in the relationship, and gains less of a return.“How can you get dumped when you were never really involved?”Interesting,isn't it?I saw it on another profile and copy/pasted(I asked her first!),because it explains why people keep coming back on these sites,or never leave them in the first place! Hopefully the awareness of the problem will help us avoid it....But about me :)I'm pretty smart,pretty quiet,kind of sarcastic although not to hurt anyone,see the humor in most situations,don't have a big ego but I'm confident in myself.Never married,have kids that I see regularly,my relationships generally last a long time-not a serial dater at all!I'm busy with work,exercise,renos,family,etc,but want to make time for someone important to me.Like the headline says...Don't be shy to message;it's not a commitment,and I've found that looking at a profile tells you little about how attracted you're going to be to that person in real life! We'll figure it out

    I am a engineer/scientist with a sense of humor, and the ability to laugh at myself (I'm serious when I need to be). I am at home in large groups of people, or more intimate settings with a few, or just one other person.I am returning to exercise with a vengeance (mostly rowing on machines), and I've returned to racing on the water again, but not many times/yr. I missed the competition. I train ***times/wk, depending on where I am in my training cycle. I coached collegiate rowing for 8 years.Being the last of five kids, I certainly don't have a fragile ego (see above about being able to laugh at myself), and I am independent. I love my kids more than anything else in the world; they are the greatest things that ever happened to me.I like to cook, play sports, hike, travel and explore, meet people and experience life, among other things. I like a variety of activities, have a good sense of humor, and I don't take myself too seriously. I look at life as an adventure, and I want to see more. My musical interests vary, but I don't really like much country or rap. I do like alternative/indie, jazz, rock, big bands/swing, some classical...I was actually born in March of ***, I don't know why this thing thinks I'm older than I am.
