Before you think any of this sounds remotely bitchy, I've had to block 2 people in less than 3 days..one of them being the first message, and this happens on every site I join, it's getting old....

I'm a single mom with a six month old son, not really sure I want to be dating. I would say I'm here for friends but I'm not a very social person either, as unhealthy as that is..

I don't get out much, hardly meet new people, new to the area so I don't have many friends..
Eventually I know I'll want to be with someone so perhaps this is the stage of effort? If I do decide to allow myself into a relationship it obviously won't be very simple, I have a child and he is a very large factor in everything, we also visit his father every month; if you're a man ready for a serious relationship that's great, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're ready for one that involves a child, that's where it's complicated.

Do not make your greeting an automatic flirt, that will instantly make me lose interest, I can accept a compliment but if your first words to me are purely sexual or flirtatious or something referring to me being beautiful or something like that I probably won't reply, I'm not a prude, I just have a little more self-respect than most girls. So to make myself more clear, starting out your message (or it only consisting of) "Hey beautiful/gorgeous" or "Omg u r so beautiful! *marry me please because I'm already obsessed*" will result in your message being ignored or if it's really creepy, me blocking you.

I only really want to be in a relationship if it feels like something that will last. More importantly, even if it would be difficult considering my taste in men, I need someone responsible, anyone who sticks around will have to be a good influence on my boy :P

If you're squeamish, closed-minded, or very religious (practicing > non-practicing/ would want your children raised with religion), I'm not for you, trust me.

Also, though I had a child not too long ago, I take damn good care of myself/my body, and not by dieting or starving myself like a lot of girls, I'm not shallow, I'm just not into guys that don't have enough self-respect to keep themselves in decent condition. In other words, if you are pudgy or fat, I am not interested, sorry, but physical attraction is important, and I am not a bad person, it's called having standards. I am also not a fan of large beards or mustaches (they creepy me out) and in terms of "types" I'm not into "country boys/rednecks" or "gangsta/homeboys".

I'm a huge nerd, I'm a little weird, don't like it? Too bad. If you can't even type properly (i.e. Like if you shorten three letter words into one letter, it's fucking annoying, grow up.) or you make yourself look like a dipshit you aren't worth the response.
I love tattoos, I plan on getting quite a few big ones, and I love metal (though it's not the only thing I listen to, and not that new-age emo-screamo bs either...think more Dimmu Borgir/Kamelot/Children Of Bodom); I'm not some goody-two-shoes "goes with the flow" kind of girl, I'm a little reckless, and a little fiery (once I'm comfortable), I'm very analytic and very particular, I will not reply if I find nothing interesting, harsh? No, I just don't get people's hopes up, I don't play games, I'm tired of feeling alone and I don't like the mundane.

Other:
I am 20, if you are my age or younger, you are too young for me, but also, 30 years or more is too old for me.
For those curious, I'm half Filipino, half american (mostly).

Random quirks in relation to about 75% of the guys on here:
1.) Do you even read my profile? I've tried not to make it too terribly long, and I generally put important things on there, like reasons that would make me not reply to you, yet 98% of the messages I receive are either worded in a similar fashion or typed by individuals I expressly made clear that I would not be attracted to.
2.) Why do you have pictures that make you look creepy, has nobody told you how creepy that picture is?
3.) Why are you lifting up your shirt to show off your abs? If you have them and want to brag, just take the damn shirt off, lifting it up makes you look stupid! Do you have some kind of abnormal nipple monstrosity you're trying to hide?
4.) Why do you wear sunglasses and a cap? The sunglasses should be sufficient enough to block the sunlight. Oh wait, you're indoors? WTF. If you really wanna hide that much of your face put on a superhero mask, at least it's funny and attractive. Or more questionably, why do you just barely put your hat on top of your head and turned sideways so as to produce the appearance of a ridiculously elongated head? It doesn't make you look smart if you're thinking "Aww snap, if I wear my hat like this maybe the ladies gonnna think I got a huge brain under here, ****ing genius shit." No.
5.) Some of you guys have HORRIBLE spelling and grammar issues, I can understand a mistake here and there, but the stuff that is repetitive or seemingly intentional? Did you really waste your time in school or do you, for some reason, think it makes you more appealing? Because it doesn't.
6.) The "YOLO" headline is really getting old, it's like Carpe Diem for the less mature, be more creative.
7.) I won't even be old enough to legally drink until the end of 2013, so if you are old enough to be my father, or even 15-16 years older than me, do NOT even try; it's really gross to get messages from you 50-something-year-old men, have some self respect and charm women closer to your age.

There's more but I'll post them as I go, seeing as this site is just making me bored and increasingly hopeless.

I was a freelance alternative model but now a full-time mom. My life is very dynamic.

Cooking
Baking
Singing
Painting
League of Legends (ok, maybe not REALLY good, but good enough)
Breeding, training, and battling pokemon on the DS and TCG. lol
Crude humor

How adorable my son is of course.

The way I dress, or my constantly changing hair (right now it's basically black and green) I love body mods, I don't have that many yet, two tattoos and 4 piercings, but over time I plan on getting my entire back done, chest, both ribs, hips and maybe sleeves someday.

My eyes.

I am, for the most part, a bookworm, I love to read, paranormal romance is my genre of choice. I am a die-hard Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, I love the Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K Hamilton, and a lot of other paranormal romance books, none of which I expect men to have in common with me haha I do love Anne Rice, David Clement-Davies and many other authors though most from when I was younger.
I also read random web-comics, some of my favorites are oglaf.com , thepunchlineismachismo.com , and hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com

I am a metal head, it's my favorite genre of music, black metal, power metal, speed metal, symphonic metal, neo-classical rock, s many genres there. I don't like hip-hop, rap, things like that, there's very few exceptions. I Like almost everything else though, just mostly metal, alternative, industrial, rock, stuff like that :) I have a pretty wide taste though including classical and some jazz, I feel music, any form of art for that matter, is an extension or expression of one's soul, it's meant to stimulate the heart and mind, it's very important to me, in music, we must have a common ground.
I used to play the guitar and piano, unfortunately its been 4-5 years and without actually owning either instrument I've lost the hand for it, I do plan on re-learning what I've forgotten one day though.

Games: I am not elite, I am not a hardcore gamer (because I don't have the time for it or very good hand-eye coordination lol) but I have several I enjoy, mostly along the linees of Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Dante's Inferno, Left For Dead, Katamari Damacy, Okami, Jak and Daxter, there's more but I can't list them off the top of my head. I love Zelda and pokemon because those are the two main games I grew up with! These days I spent playing League of Legends more than anything else, new to that kind of game-play but I really love it.

I love watching movies, there's so many I can't list, I love romance, comedy, musicals, fantasy, psycological, comic based things too, some of my favorites are Moulin Rouge, The Crow, Memoirs of a Geisha, Kick-Ass, American Psycho, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (perhaps my favorite), Tangled (yes, I like Disney :P), Natural Born Killers, Strangeland, Phantom of the Opera, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Across the Universe, there's way too many really. I don't really like horror, mostly because throughout the entire movie I think of how stupid the characters are or my mind automatically converts it to humor (it is only in that sense I could enjoy them). Though I really have a thing for Chinese movies, the mythological kinds anyways.

I don't really watch much TV, though one of my favorite shows is The Big Bang Theory, also love Game of Thrones, Eureka, and especially How I Met Your Mother ; as a child I probably watched more Animal Planet than regular cartoons. I like South Park, Ugly Americans, Futurama, Family Guy, Drawn Together and comedy things like that. Otherwise I watch anime, Inuyasha, Wolf's Rain, Full metal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, there's a few more but those are among my favorites so far.

Irrelevant but my Father was a Harley man so I love motorcycles, one day I plan on learning to ride, maybe start out with a Ninja or Katana.
As for food I'm not entirely picky, my favorites are Japanese (I fucking love sushi), Filipino (I'm half filipino, grew up eating some "weird" stuff lol), and Italian (almost everything). I love cooking and baking, I can't eat spicy food, sadly, I'm half and half with veggies, hate things like eggplant or asparagus. I do try everything at least once, it is certain I hate all aspects of coconut. Lately I've been expanding my palette and re-visiting things, trying new recipes, I'm a pretty good cook :P

If I've been drinking..I get VERY philosophical :P

These days my mind has been mainly focused on motherhood .

Otherwise I think of things people typically think about in terms of survival..I wonder always where my path will take me but I don't make much fuss of it. I'm focusing to get a job so I can go to school, and it wouldn't hurt to find love as well..

It's hard to put a name to my spirituality, I suppose Pagan would be closest..of any entity I believe more in the Goddess and her consort and their uncountable forms, the elements, mother nature and her wrath, karma, energy, what is before my own eyes, the theory of parallel universes (everything that can possibly exist does, just on different planes, and every possibility for every action is manifested somewhere) and the souls of all things. For the most part I'm non practicing, I light candles when people pass away, stare into/speak to myself under the night sky to clear my thoughts and look for guidance my "religion" is my own business/opinion, stays in my own mind unless someone asks. I believe in souls, and that they're made of several fragments of other soul (reincarnated if you will), it makes most sense to me that it is similar to light and dark, it cannot be destroyed, simply sent elsewhere, and that when you die it divides and leaves the body, I could go on about this.

Nothing, I just moved to Auburn, staying with the best friend/godmother of child, I know very very few people.

I don't have the best past.

If I do end up dating, I will have to break my habits and move very slowly, my child comes before all things, I need to be with someone who is on their feet and responsible, and certainly someone who won't end up putting me through all the grief that the father of my child did...

Please, if I am looking for anybody, it's a person I could possibly have a future with, someone I have a lot in common, that likes me exactly how I am do not talk to me for the simple fact that you find me attractive. If you think yourself "gangster" or any sense of it you will likely be very incompatible and unattractive to me. I'm very open-minded but everybody has their biases, I seek to find my other half, my companion of the night..I want to find the one I can lay under the starts with..to have fun with..to enjoy music and other things..to love and be loved by..

I'm very sarcastic and very lude but I'm not a bitch, I have a very..unique..sense of humor :) I also tend to be clingy, I can't do distance at all, if I'm not at least able to get to you by taking the city bus then chances are I won't reply..Also, call me superficial if you like but I rarely reply, I'm very intuitive, very impulsive, very analytic..I reply if I believe I would get along with a person or see things possibly going somewhere, I do not like to lead people on or give false hope, so please excuse me if I am silent..Also, I almost NEVER contact in any kind of way, so if I do wink or send a message, it is because I have read EVERYTHING (and I do mean everything) and am genuinely interested in talking to you, not because you are "cute". If you are sweet, the effort is appreciated, I'm just a bit..complex. It's rare I find a man of my particular interests.

ps. I am not shallow, I just know exactly what I am looking for, I have dated every type, every size, every ethnicity so do not insult or disrespect me thinking you are ignored for physical properties. I will admit, I prefer someone who is fit, I take good care of my body and seek one who does the same, this goes the same for hygiene. >.> Also, I have an irrational fear of beards and some mustaches... I will speak if you are nice usually, but I am always honest, and I will NOT get your hopes up if I know you are not remotely my type. They say to date outside your type, well, I have tried that countless times, I know who I will or will not work with, I DO in fact read your ENTIRE profile if you get in contact with me, I do not judge and reject or approve by appearance. I am just not your average woman, by any means, and am looking for someone who is a match to me.
