Being married vs. being single

[Gloryhound]

I'm not going to change myself to please others. It'd just be lieing more than I already do, and nothing irritates me more than meeting someone who act one way, who turn out to be another. Besides, there isn't much I can do to change the fact that I'm short and look a good deal younger than I am (don't even say make up. I hate the crap).

I never said change yourself just to attract another person. I meant change yourself into a better person be it physically, mentally, or emmotionally.

Frankly, I don't attract any guys (I don't count the jailbait, either), and while I don't talk a huge amount, I do have a pretty decent knowledge of various topics. I also don't really "hang out" anywhere. I go to class, I come home, unless I have to go to the store for whatever reason.

Sorry, no offense is meant, but all I can say is boring.

My wife is short at 5'1" and even though she is 5 years older than me she was the one getting carded when we were dating. She is highly educated with a BA and Masters. Speaks 2 additional languages, Russian and Spanish. Is a black belt in Taekwondo and continues to train in it as well as shurkin ryu. She took State champion in Taekwondo point sparing and forms in 2011. She likes to dance, but thinks flowers are a waist. Likes to travel and meet new people. Also likes working with our python collection along with the rest of the zoo. She also likes to take college classes for fun. Her day is so full I have trouble keeping up with her. She is a Navy Veteran and now is a full time domestic engineer, works part time as a substitute teacher, and keeps up with our animals. She also hates online forums, but I try not to hold that against her.

It is a great feeling to be able to brag about your significant other. I just hope I'm interesting enough to her that she can brag about me!
