So I apparently can't go a day without posting. :)
I was checking one of the dating websites I'm on and noticed that someone showed interest in me without viewing my profile (which means it's was from my pictures alone, and I had just posted a new one of me).
That kind of made me a little happy. I took a quick peek at his profile, and I thought he was kinda cute. Read his profile:
Smoker (strike)
Kinda curvy body (ok, but I could tell from his face he wasn't all that curvy... believe me I know)
Social Drinker (me too)
Couple years younger than me (that's good)
Christian (I like that)
In college (great)
Looking for a relationship (awesome, because I can't understand people who just hook up)
Likes dogs (bonus)
150 miles away (DANG)
But I went ahead and showed interest back, because at the very least I think it'd be cool to e-mail him. He checked out my profile, but hasn't done anything else. I'm seriously thinking of sending him a message though just to see. At this point I'd be OK with a pen-pal especially one I feel I can relate to on some level (some stuff he said in his profile kinda hit home for me).
The astonishing thing about this is that he really did show interest just from the pictures. Honestly I used to feel that I was kind of attractive from the neck up, until I was tipping the scales at 300 and 400 lbs. Now that I'm back in the mid (and hopefully soon low) 200's I'm back to feeling that way. It's good to be able to pick something about yourself that you like. It gives you something to focus on when you're feeling down on yourself.
So having some stranger that I too think is kinda attractive basically confirm that was a huge deal for me today.
