- About Me: Well this is a first for me so have no clue how this will pan out. But if nothing else this will be an interesting narrative. Considering the freakishly weird ads I've seen some people posting, this will be almost TOO HONEST. I'd rather put all my cards on the table on the outset and eliminate the flakes and wackos and save a lot of wasted time and effort. I'm going to just touch on the basics that seem mandatory first, then blow some minds likely. I'm five nine and in and out of three hundred on the scale and fifty one years old. Using a borrowed term, I'm curvy. I carry it ok but would do better if I can get out of the weight loss catch - 22 . Lose weight and your back issues will lighten up, but due to back issues (sciatica and arthritis ) walking to get the mail is an Olympic feat for me. Right knee has a screwed up tendon-ligament thing too. Let's see what else..oh ya Had 2 surgeries over the last year ish for diverticulitis that tried to kill me. So that means fun Walking Dead cast extra type scars on my tummy. What you're still here?Ok. I have a history of clinical depression , anxiety and stress attacks and D.I.D. You still here ? Interesting. My last GF who is still my BFF has moved out of state to get better healthcare for her own issues and to spend time with family. We are on great terms but not likely to be together anytime soon. She nearly matched me in all the stuff above but beat me with the addition of possible bipolar and borderline personality disorder (BPD) and was previously a cutter. She was also 30. We met in as volunteers in a support forum for many types of issues inc. depression,stress,anxiety,suicidal ideation, addiction and more. This January would have been 4 years in our relationship. So we were both looking long term. Her health issues took precedent as they should, and we are now separated and coasting in BFF mode. Hopefully, you're clever enough to figure out why all this backstory. If so, you're half-way there to , something. While we had an interesting physical .... what's the word?.. Oh screw it, the nookie was nice and we had alot of smiles laughs and love, that is only the icing on a cake. Since we both had similar "psych profiles" we could call each other on our BS when it was BS. The INTELLECTUAL part of the relationship was far more important to each of us. We challenged each other consistently to keep personally "working on our junk" and both being better people individually and as a couple. Still here? Well aren't you just the curious type? With the "breakup" with my GF this has presented new challenges for me in many areas. None the least most obvious is economic. I am living in a studio apartment sort of as a live in caregiver for a woman. I'm not making much, but it's a few bucks and a roof over my head.But I am NOT daunted ! This is as temporary as any other period in my life. I know it isn't forever. Nothing is. I'm neither gold-digging nor a likely target to be mined either. IF you are STILL HERE to this point you may have gleaned that I'm dropping nearly all my cards on the table here. I'm somewhat intentionally doing so as to find a new local relationship that fits. I have 4 years experience with a gal with DID,PTSD,BPD,bipolar,stress anxiety disorders, addiction to cutting, and originally had a terrible self esteem. This also isn't exactly a textbook wishlist in a woman. If you are a woman with BPD and so on, I encourage you to touch base with me. I have seen the way BPD IS. It can be a relationship killer. I know the rages and the insecurity and the fears of abandonment etc. most guys don't have a clue and are not ready to put in the effort to make it work and think you're just a crazy bitch. The whole time the red-zone rages that come out of nowhere tear you apart as you DON'T WANT to be a raging manic person and you just hate how it tries to control your life. Basically..ya I get it. I know I'm not exactly the ideal ad either. I just have different baggage. I think it's a good thing in a way. I'm not perfect, neither are you or anyone else. SO I'M NOT EXPECTING PERFECTION. If anything I'm hoping to meet another woman who is honestly self aware enough to be able to admit or see her junk, that I can work with. A fun but true Facebook post says, forget nude selfies, show me your medicine cabinet so i know what kind of psycho i'm dealing with. If you have the unrealistic expectations of running away with a Peruvian helicopter pilot or yacht captain etc....what ever floats your boat. Good Luck, seriously I wish you the best. But if you want to be with a guy who can be fun and interesting and worth getting to know, you read this far... email me. Now the silly stuff....I am VERY open as far as the physicals I don't want to put preferences as it might scare off someone who goes "wow I read all this and THAT isn't ME" I'm curvy and furry like a teddy bear. (sort of the same ass too) Same with ages I'm 51 and my last GF was 30 and age wasn't remotely an issue. If I had to list the basic criteria it'd be .. over 21 and a pulse. After that.. I'm pretty open. (bonus points for short gals(skinny to curvy)) Oh and if you haven't figured out yet either. sense of humor is a must, with bonus points for excellent use of sarcasm in nearly any situation. OH SORRY I FORGOT....I'm sober, clean of STDs(never had any)and DRUG FREE (Tylenol doesn't count) I prefer the same. HOWEVER if the friendship/relationship were the focus, HIV/HSV herpes hepititis etc would be considered seriously. Laters, Joe Feel free to email me via craigslist and send HONEST photos(non sexual) mine's a bit dated as a haircut is due 🙂 I prefer to text as it is not talk unlimited plan, if I feel we click a bit we'll talk before a public area meet-greet. Ok? Email me for my number to text.
